Chapter 655
Knowing that Lucas and Serenity knew each other, jealousy rose in Lynette's eyes. Lucas seemed lost in thought, suppressing some strong emotions in him.'Could it be that... Does Lucas have a thing for Serenity? No! No!' Lynette reassured herself that Prince Lucas of the entertainment industry was too good a man to fall for an ex-convict! Serenity was already lucky enough to have caught Jackson's eyes! Lucas thought Lynette had saved him as a child, making her the most important person to Lucas right now! Lynette had to seize the opportunity and never let Lucas know the truth! She was sure that she would be fine!"Serenity is so lucky to have Jackson. I didn't expect to see Serenity in a wedding dress today. Are they getting married..." Lynette's voice trailed off as she spoke. She realized Lucas was not listening to her at all. He was just staring blankly in the direction where Serenity and Jackson had left earlier.'W-What is he looking at?' Lynette felt the uneasiness in her

"Yeah. I hope there will be no more misunderstandings. I'm glad he has found the person he was looking for," Serenity exclaimed emotionally.Serenity was glad for Lucas, thinking he probably would not cry again like that night. The memory of Lucas crying in front of her flashed through her mind.For some reason, Serenity felt a sudden tightness in her chest, and her head seemed to be aching. Serenity stopped in her tracks suddenly, raising her hand to press her temple."What's wrong?" Jackson asked, worried."It's nothing. I'm just... My head hurts," Serenity said.Jackson frowned at her slightly pale face. He suggested, "You don't look too well. Shall we find a hotel nearby and take a little rest?"There were only a few small motels in the small town, and there were no decent hotels around."No need," Serenity refused. Her headache seemed momentary, and the pain had faded as she spoke. "It doesn't hurt anymore. I want to go back and spend more time with Granny."After a short

Some guests saw Serenity coming in and exclaimed immediately, "Oh, look who's here! I used to think that Serenity was the most successful in the Walker family. Who would've known? She has now ended up being the worst. Lynette has turned out to be the most successful in the family."The guest was belittling Serenity to flatter Lynette, which was what Lynette would have loved to hear before. Everyone had always compared Lynette and Serenity to each other. They were close in age and looked so much alike when they were young.Serenity had been one of the brightest kids at school. She was good at her studies and had gone to a prestigious university. Lynette, who was less educated, was naturally ashamed by the comparison.Lynette was eager to be better than Serenity, but that was before knowing that Serenity was dating Jackson Valor.After realizing Jackson's true identity, the relative's nasty comment made Lynette embarrassed.Lynette's relative did not think it was enough and went on

Serenity looked at Jackson in a little daze. After a while, she said, "In that case, I guess I must have been through so much just to meet you and fall in love with you. If I hadn't gone through all these challenges, maybe I wouldn't have met you."The prison sentence had turned Serenity's life completely upside down. Otherwise, Serenity might have married Zeke and remained a lawyer. She might not fit in with the Shaw family after marrying Zeke. Maybe she would not even marry Zeke because of his parents' disapproval.Whatever the possibilities, Serenity would not have met Jackson that fateful night and brought him home. Serenity and Jackson might eventually cross paths like two parallel lines.Jackson's eyelashes fluttered slightly. He pulled Serenity into a gentle hug and buried his face in her neck, taking a deep breath as if to inhale her scent. "Yeah, you too... It must have been to meet me."Serenity was completely unaware that Jackson was partly responsible for the pain she h

Lucas could not resist looking out the window, wondering why he was staring at the couple. He thought he should have figured it out by now—Lynette was the one he had been looking for.It was Lynette who had saved his life. Based on all the information he had found, Lynette had not been happy these past few years. Lucas was determined to treat Lynette as well as he could to repay her for saving his life. However, his heart felt empty after finding Lynette, almost as if he had lost something—something very important to him."Lucas, what are you staring at?" Lynette's voice rang out.Lucas turned his head and saw Lynette walking over. He stepped forward and said, "It's nothing. I'm heading back now. Call me if there’s anything.""Are you leaving already?" Lynette seemed very reluctant to let him go. "It's late. Why don't you spend the night here and leave tomorrow? The guest rooms are ready.""No, I have something important to do at the office tomorrow. I’d better go back," Lucas sai

Lynette bit her lips slightly. "So, if I hadn't saved you, you wouldn't have been nice to me?"She meant for him to disagree. Instead, she saw his indifferent eyes staring at her quietly, almost as if looking at a stranger.Lynette immediately regretted what she had just said, her eyes fluttering with a hint of panic. "I-I just want you to be nice to me, not because I saved your life, but... Something else..." She stammered in defense."Alright. Don't overthink it," Lucas said plainly. "It's getting late. Go get some rest." As he spoke, he opened the car door and was about to get into the car. Lynette suddenly said, "Take care, Luke!"Lucas stiffened at Lynette's sudden cry. Hearing her call him Luke reminded him of his old memory. The scene of the little girl carrying him down the hill suddenly flashed before his eyes.The little girl had kept talking to him, afraid he would pass out because of the injury and bleeding."What's your name? If you don't tell me, I'll call you Luk

Lucas had drawn all these paintings. It was all the image of her carrying him down the hill or images of them relying on each other in the forest.All they could rely on was each other at that time.For the first time, he realized the little girl was so important to him. He might not have survived without her.Among these paintings, there was only one exception.It was not a painting of a child. Instead, it was an adult woman's portrait. The woman smiled softly, her eyes reminding him of water, gentle and strong. It was a very comfortable image. Her gaze made him feel calm and at ease.Lucas stood close to the woman's portrait, his dark eyes staring at the person in the painting, and a rare hint of pain flashed in his usually indifferent eyes.If Serenity had been here, she would have recognized the portrait immediately. It was her!"Why is it not you?" A cold voice rang in the studio, but there was no response.The woman in the portrait continued looking at him with a gentle,

Serenity Lewis? Who was she? She was just an ex-convict!People from a small town had a natural bias toward an ex-convict. They would point their fingers at her full of disdain. Many of them thought Serenity should not be at the wake. She was a disgrace to the family. The Walker family should throw her out instead!The Walker family shook in fear hearing such remarks, worried it would upset Jackson. If Jackson got mad, he could easily wipe out the Walker family.Lynette had Lucas' protection, but Lucas had never said that he would protect the Walker family! On the day of Emily's funeral, Serenity dressed herself in black and joined the funeral procession. Her eyes were slightly red. Clearly, she had cried again. Dressed in a black suit, Jackson stood by Serenity's side and accompanied her to the funeral home.The Walker family had reserved a hall in the funeral home to accommodate the memorial service. During the service, Serenity stood and listened quietly. Listening to Uncle Fr
