Chapter 546
Following the recommendations online, Serenity ordered the set meals.When the food was served, she noticed that the children's meals were not the only ones that had cute cartoon images; the adults' meals were decorated with cartoon images too. They looked colorful and fun.But... Serenity eyed Jackson. He was wearing a suit with his hair combed back, so he looked like a typical elite businessman. He was dressed more appropriately for a banquet or a meeting than a meal in this restaurant.The meal in front of him was a set meal decorated with cartoon images, so the contrast was striking. Serenity found it a little funny.She could not help snickering."What's so funny?" asked Jackson."Nothing, it's just... umm, I've never seen you eat a cartoon set meal before. By the way, the little pink pig on the meal that you're eating, that's Peppa Pig," Serenity explained helpfully.Jackson cracked a smile. He had never had a meal like this before.When he was young, he remembered wantin

But in the end, they remained only wishful thinking.After about half an hour, Serenity checked the time and decided that it was about time to take Yanny home, so she took the little boy's hand and went back to Jackson."You don't want to play anymore?" Jackson asked with raised eyebrows."It's about time we head back. If we bring Yanny home too late, Clara might be worried," said Serenity. She turned to Yanny, whose face was a bit flushed, and gestured in sign language, "Do you like it here?"The little boy nodded hard."Then I'll bring you here again next time," Serenity promised.The little boy nodded again. He smiled at Serenity, hugged her waist, and rubbed his little head on her belly intimately.Jackson frowned. He picked up the boy and placed him down away from Serenity. "Let's go."As expected, he did not like it when other people got too intimate with her!Serenity did not know whether to laugh or cry.After getting into the car, Yanny started yawning because he was

But she soon snapped out of it and walked forward to take her son from Jackson's hands. She said, "Thank you. I'll put Yanny to bed."Clara then carried Yanny into the room in the back of the restaurant.Seeing this, Serenity told Jackson, "I want to have a word with Clara. Wait for me here." She followed Clara into the room.Clara was putting Yanny down on the bed when Serenity walked in. Clara gently covered her son with the blanket."Thanks for helping me take care of Yanny today, Serenity," Clara expressed her gratitude.Serenity bit her lip slightly, looked Clara right in the eye and said, "Clara, we ran into Wilson Birch today."The name Wilson Birch stunned Clara. Her face instantly turned pale. "He..." She could not finish her question. She did not even know what to say. Her eyes were filled with fear and anxiety.Serenity explained without waiting for her to ask, "We simply ran into him. Yanny's cochlear implant fell off and he ran back to the bathroom by himself to l

After Serenity left, Clara looked down at her sleeping son. She gently touched the child's tender face with a pained look.She remembered the time her son asked her in sign language where his father was.She could only tell him a terrible lie – in heaven.She did not know how long she could fool the child with that lie. She could not tell him where or who his father really was.What should she say? That his father had approached her with malicious intentions from the very beginning? That when she yelled, "What if I'm pregnant with your child?", he merely told her coldly, "You're not worthy of having my child"?Yanny's father never wanted to have a child with her.That man had never truly loved her. The love had been one-sided all along. She was simply too foolish. Even after discovering his true intention, she still tried to move him, only to meet a more tragic end.She would not have survived her days in prison if not for her baby.Today, Yanny finally met his father. She was

It was as if the two people in the photo had nothing to do with her anymore, no matter how lovey-dovey they looked.It appeared that she had truly moved on.Now, her biggest wish was to protect her son and her family!Serenity's mood remained heavy after she left the restaurant. After they returned to the Valor Residence, Jackson asked her, "Are you still thinking about Yanny?"Serenity nodded. "Clara doesn't want Wilson to find them. Clara has been telling Yanny that his father is in heaven. I also don't think they should meet. Wilson has someone else now. If I were Clara, I would stay far away from him too. I wouldn't want to see him ever again."Her words made Jackson frown hard. She might not mean anything by that, but her words alarmed him."Because... he sent Clara to prison?" Jackson asked. It was seemingly an ordinary question, but only he himself knew how nervous he was when he asked the question."That's right," Serenity answered without hesitation.Jackson's heart s

"Well, I promise. I'll be here, always. You'll always find me." Serenity's voice was gentle and comforting, soothing his restless heart.Jackson lowered his head, his gaze locked on her eyes. "Really? You're not lying?""Yes, I promise," Serenity said. Jackson loved her so much. She believed he would not do something that would hurt her.Jackson was not Wilson Birch. Her story with him would not be the same as Wilson and Clara's."Then tell me that you love me, that you would hate not seeing me," Jackson rasped, his eyes filled with love and desire for her.The look in Jackson's eyes occasionally surprised Serenity. He looked at her like she was the only woman in the world. Almost as if she was his whole world. How much did he love her?Serenity had been sceptical about his love at first. Now, she was sure.Serenity put her hand on his cheek and said, "I love you." Still, she wondered why he was so insecure about love. Was he afraid because of his childhood experience? If so, sh

"Well, I feel like I can support myself with my job," Serenity stated. A faint glint flickered in Jackson's eyes. Then, he smiled softly. "I'll send you to work today," he offered, kissing her forehead. Then, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed. "Oh!" Serenity let out a low gasp and reflexively looked away.Her shy reaction amused him. He found her really adorable."What? You don't like that?" Jackson turned back. He propped himself up on top of her, his breath close to her.Serenity's cheeks heated up red. With him this close, she did not know where to look. "I-I'm just shy.""What is there to be shy about?" Jackson pulled her hand to him, letting her feel the skin of his chest. "Didn't you touch me here yesterday? You've already seen it all. We're in love with each other. It's only natural for you to look at me. Well, unless you find me unattractive.""Of course not!" Serenity instinctively refuted, her face burning redder as soon as her words escaped her. Gosh! What was

As the years passed, the hideous scar had gradually faded and become lighter, but it remained on his skin. Jackson could remove the scars easily with the cosmetic technology today, but he never did. It was as if he kept the scar as a reminder. Jackson's insecurity about relationships seemed to stem from his mother. What about Serenity? Serenity also had some insecurities. She became afraid of love after Zeke's betrayal and thought she would be alone for the rest of her life, but Jackson made her feel secure. He made her want to love again."What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Jackson looked up and met Serenity's eyes. Her emotions seemed to be heartache mixed with a hint of sympathy and something else he could not understand. Serenity snapped back to her senses and shook her head. "It's nothing. I just realized that I love you very much." She leaned forward slightly and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Jack, I'll be good to you. Always."Was Jackson insecure?
