His tears. It was as if she had...Serenity suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head. It felt like a sharp needle prickling the back of her head, causing her a moment of ache."Did you know? I really miss you... I miss you..." Lucas murmured softly, his face getting closer, his lips almost upon hers.'Smack!' A loud slap sounded in the middle of the night. Serenity panted nervously. The palm of her right hand was burning with pain, which showed how hard she had just slapped him.Serenity slapped Lucas so hard that his face turned to the side. In that instance, the air around them froze. There was silence.A long moment later, Lucas slowly turned his face back to hers. He fixed his eyes on her, but this time, there was clarity in his eyes, not the earlier confusion.Lucas slowly loosened his grip on her and spun on his heel without saying a word. He staggered away and got into his car nearby.Serenity's head had been throbbing in pain. She put her hand on her temple and tried to

Serenity felt quite amused sometimes, unsure whether to laugh or cry. Even so, she enjoyed quietly watching him from the side. It was pleasing to her eyes. She never thought the two of them could get along this way.Jackson was very focused on his work. As he quickly browsed through the documents in front of him, he continuously made notes with the pen in his hand.He was reviewing the documents at a fast speed and at the same time, multitasking on the computer and instructing his executives to follow up on the tasks. Serenity suddenly felt emotional seeing Jackson working hard. She used to hear people say men were the most attractive when they were at work. It seemed to be true.Everyone knew Jackson Valor as the king of the business world. After all, he came from the Valor family, an old money family. However, no one was born a king. He could have all the support from the Valor family, but only if he worked hard. Otherwise, someone else could dethrone him at any time. The Valo

"I'll cry if you really want to see me cry." Jackson's voice rang in the room again.Serenity's eyes widened in disbelief. What did he just say? Him? Crying?"What?" Jackson smiled gently."Did you just say... Y-You...""I'll do anything you want. I'll try my best to fulfill your wish," Jackson said. He lowered himself slowly, his handsome face closing in on her.Serenity stared blankly at him. His face was so close that she could see her own reflection in his dark eyes. He was smiling, but he spoke with a serious look. It was as if he would really cry and fall into tears as long as she wanted it."Do you want to see?" His voice rang in her ears again. A soft murmur, the sweetest words of love.Serenity shook her head. "No."Her answer caused a slight confusion in his eyes. "Why?""Because it'd hurt me. If you're crying, it would mean that you're sad. I don't want to see you sad," Serenity explained.Emotions stirred in his eyes. Her words created a warm current that flowed t

Even after years of searching for her, he never found her again. Lucas missed that little girl so much and regretted it even more.Lucas was drunk yesterday. The long suppressed regret in his heart suddenly burst like a flood, drowning him.Lucas had no idea how he got to the restaurant. All he had in mind was to see her again. He had to see her. As if seeing Serenity would make him feel better.When Lucas met her, the Serenity in reality and the little girl in his memory constantly intertwined. As a result, he did something out of character.Although he was drunk, he remembered what he had done to her. He would not have cared if it was another woman, but Serenity was different.Not because she was Jackson's girlfriend. Rather because she was so much like the girl he imagined she would be when she grew up.Serenity was not the little girl he was searching for, but he did not want to be hated by her."No big deal. We're even," Serenity replied flatly. After all, she slapped him f

On Saturday afternoon, which was Serenity's day off from work, she was dragged along by Lisa to a roadshow event for a movie."Do you know how hard it was for me to grab these two tickets?!" Lisa babbled on. "Finn Gordon is going to be at the roadshow. He knows you, doesn't he? Could you say something to him for me, please? Could you at least persuade him to take a picture with me?"Lisa looked as if she was so eager to meet Finn Gordon that she was willing to do anything, even lay down her own life!"Why didn't you just come with Terry instead?" Serenity asked, thinking that Terry would have been of much more help to Lisa than she could ever be.Lisa's mouth twitched. The truth was that she had kept the fact that she was coming here a complete secret from Terry! Judging by that man's temper, she was certain that he would mope and sulk for days if he found out that she had snuck out to see Finn Gordon at a roadshow!In fact, Terry had forced her to drink so much that she had gotte

Serenity was completely taken aback. She never thought that the special guest of the event would turn out to be Aria.It was common for roadshows like this to invite a special guest as a surprise for the audience, but most of the time, the special guests would be A-List celebrities. Aria, on the other hand, was no more than a third-rate actress before she became Lucas Gomez's girlfriend and was not even that popular at all. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that her current fame was all due to Lucas. Because of him, Aria had gained much more work and income from the moment she started dating him, but apart from some advertisements that had appeared in public, everything else she was involved in—television series, music singles—were all still in production, so she had not released anything to the public yet. To put it bluntly, the sole reason she had been invited here today was because of her relationship with Lucas Gomez.Lisa turned to her friend with a guilty face a
Chapter 569
How could Lisa ever forget it when Terry had flat out warned her, "You're my girlfriend now, so if I ever find out that you got more intimate with that Finn Gordon guy than a normal fan should be with their idol, I'll make sure he gets blacklisted in the entertainment industry so you'd never even have a chance to see him on screen again!"If anyone else had said that, she would have laughed in their face, but considering that it was Terry White... Lisa thought of how petty and begrudging that man could be and started to fear that he might actually do such a horrendous thing.That was why she thought it best to forget about getting Finn Gordon's number. She would just take a picture with him, get his autograph and some more of his posters, and be content with it.Not long afterward, a young woman sprinted toward them and said, "Hello, Miss Lewis."Serenity recognized her to be Finn Gordon's assistant, the one she had seen standing beside him the last time she had met him."Hello,"
Chapter 570
There was a small flight of steps behind Aria, and as she staggered backward, she tripped on it and instantly fell on the floor, and she cried out in pain."I was only trying to be nice to you, Sis! Why did you have to shove me away like that..."Aria seemed to be in pain, and her eyes were welling up with tears. She looked just like an innocent angel who had been wronged.This sudden change made the fans who were gathered at the entrance turn their attention to Serenity. Many of them pulled out their phones and started to snap photos.Serenity glared icily at Aria and said, "You know full well whether or not I shoved you just now.""How could you say that, Sis? I know that... that you haven't been out of prison for long, that's why you're still emotionally unstable, so I... I won't blame you for it."Not only was Aria acting the role of the innocent and pitiful younger sister in front of everyone, but she had also just publicly announced to the world that Serenity used to be in
