Chapter 7
"You didn't," Jackson answered.Just then, Jackson recalled the scene when he had taken Serenity home. When he had carried her back to her room and put her on the bed, she had suddenly pushed him down and pinned him to the bed.Jackson had been taken by surprise at that moment, and he was shocked by his own carelessness. If he was dealing with an enemy, his enemy who wanted his life could have killed him in that instance!Jackson had always been vigilant. When had he ever let his guard down like this?!Before Jackson could get up, Serenity's hands had reached out to him, and she touched his face, pushing the thick bangs on his forehead away. Then, she stroked his eyes with her fingertips."Your eyes are so beautiful... I like them very much... I love them..." She murmured."You like my eyes?" Serenity's praises were not new to him. After all, there were always women who had said they liked him, particularly his eyes, and so on. His eyes were perhaps the most striking resemblance

Serenity waited until nine o'clock at night, but Jack still did not show up. She was worried that something might have happened to him, but she could not even call him because he had no cell phone with him.Serenity simply walked out of her home and went to the gate area, constantly looking around, hoping to see the figure she was expecting soon.She did not know how long she had waited until she saw a familiar figure walking toward her."Jack!" She finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing him.Jackson was a little startled to see the figure running toward him. He watched her running up to him panting slightly, her face red from the cold, but her beautiful eyes sparkling brightly."Great, you're finally back," Serenity said. Jackson looked at her and asked, "Sis, were you... waiting for me?" He gently brushed her cheeks with his hand, and he could feel the coldness on her cheeks through his fingertips. It seemed like she had been waiting outside for quite some time."Yeah.
Chapter 9
After leaving the hospital, Connor asked, "Mr. Valor, do you want to return to the residence or...""Go back to West City," Jackson said lightly.Going back to West City meant going back to Serenity's place. Connor wondered how long his boss planned to stay in that tiny rental place.While on the way to West City, Connor spoke up at a traffic light. "Mr. Valor, Ms. Serenity is on the roadside."Jackson turned to see a slender figure sweeping the garbage along the roadside with a broom. Serenity wore fluorescent-colored overalls and a simple ponytail for work. It was a cold day, so every breath she took turned into white smoke. At the same time, an electric bike moved quickly, seemingly rushing to catch the green light. As it flew past Serenity, it brushed her legs, making her fall to the ground. However, the rider did not even bother stopping and quickly crossed the road.Naturally, Jackson and Connor saw this scene play out in front of them clearly."Mr. Valor, should we find

"As long as you don't do anything illegal or commit any serious crimes, how could I be disappointed?" Serenity said. After putting on her shoes and socks, she got up and walked toward the small square table.Jackson watched the back of her figure with a smile, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes. He whispered softly, "I hope you won't be disappointed in the future."***Aria had been anxious ever since the night at the club. After all, Heiden had acted so strange that night, and he had not appeared on the set the next day. Two days later, even the director had been changed.The production team had no idea about the reason for the change, however, Aria somehow felt that the director had been replaced because of Heiden's actions. She thought about it further and became afraid that it might be related to Serenity.A few days later, she heard that Heiden had been injured and hospitalized, and she was stunned to learn that his right hand had been crippled. If she remembered c

Grayson, Catherine, and Aria looked at each other at a loss.Catherine wanted to curse, but Grayson stopped her. "Enough. That man may be an ex-convict too! There are all kinds of people in jail. Who knows what he was in jail for."Catherine paused for a moment before saying uneasily, "Are we going to leave this matter alone?"After a moment of hesitation, Grayson said, "We'll see. If Heiden does pursue Aria on this, we'll think of something." Grayson did not have the guts to go back in and challenge that man again.Aria stood beside them, deep in thought the whole time. She wondered if the man earlier was really an ex-convict. She had been unable to see his face clearly as his bangs were covering his eyes. Even so, she could tell that he was charming.For some reason, she found that Jackson's figure looked inexplicably familiar. It was as if she had seen him somewhere before. Could he be someone from the entertainment industry?***Meanwhile, Serenity looked at Jackson, who was
Chapter 12
When Serenity had been in prison, she had been all alone. Lisa had visited her from time to time, encouraged her, and worked hard for her affairs. Otherwise, she might not have gotten out of prison alive. It was Lisa who had supported her during those three difficult years.'Lifesaver?' Thoughts flickered in Jackson's eyes. Lisa seemed to hold an unusual place in Serenity's heart. "But isn't it ridiculous to regard someone as a lifesaver? If your lifesaver abandons you one day, wouldn't that give you more despair?""She won't," Serenity spoke with unparalleled certainty and absolute trust in her eyes.Somehow, Jackson had an uncomfortable feeling because of Serenity's confidence. It seemed as though he did not want someone else to be worthy of her trust. It was as if she could give everything to that other person.***Soon, Serenity had an increase in workload. As the higher authorities were coming to inspect the Sanitation Office over the next few days, some overtime was required

"A phone like this is already pretty good!" Jackson interrupted her and looked down as if he was genuinely focused on choosing a phone.Just then, a voice rang out, "Serenity, is that you?"Serenity looked up to see Janice coming toward her with another woman by her side. It was clear that the two were out shopping.As the two drew closer, Serenity realized that the other woman was actually her high school classmate, Amanda."What a coincidence! Is this your boyfriend?" Janice asked, her eyes scanning over Jackson from head to toe, sizing him up.Before Serenity could answer, Amanda said, "Come now, Janice, don't make such assumptions! I heard from someone that Serenity's boyfriend is a wealthy heir. Look at how this man is dressed. He doesn't seem to be the mentioned boyfriend now, does he?"The man was dressed in cheap clothes, so how could he be the rumored boyfriend?Amanda even raised a brow after she was done speaking, and an obvious hint of disdain and mockery flashed acr
Chapter 14
It felt like a vivid and painful slap in Amanda's face.She was so furious that she turned around and quickly left the place in embarrassment with Janice following close behind.Serenity felt like she had just watched a drama unfold before her eyes. As soon as they exited the mall, they had witnessed someone smashing a car, which turned out to be Amanda's."What happened? Did she offend someone and that was their revenge?" Serenity wondered."Who knows?" Jackson replied, his eyes flickering slightly as he pursed his lips. "Anyway, it's none of our business," Serenity said as she grabbed Jackson's arm and headed toward the bus stop.Suddenly, Jackson stopped abruptly. Serenity turned to look at him only to find that he had turned pale, and there was a shocked look on his face.He was also staring unblinkingly at the bus stop."What's wrong?" Serenity asked."It's... nothing," Jackson replied as his expression gradually returned to normal.That had been a mistake, right? He th
