It was only then that Lucas finally noticed Lynette's presence there, which was quickly followed by a flicker of sadness in his eyes.What was wrong with him? Lynette was right here with him now, so why was he still doubting it?!Or could it be… that he was hoping for something?!Lucas's fingers slowly unfurled, loosening his grasp, after which Serenity hastily withdrew her arm from him.With a glum look on his face, Jackson instantly scooped Serenity up in his arms."Jack," she told him, "I can walk just fine.""But you had a terrible headache just now," he insisted. "I'd better carry you to the car, just in case."He then strode out of the exhibition hall toward the exit.Lucas kept watching until the two people disappeared in the distance. Then, he lowered his gaze and stared at the red marks on his wrists. They were right at the spots where Serenity and Jackson had been violently grasping at his arm earlier. It was only then that he felt the throbbing pain coming from the s

"I just happened to bump into him, that's all. Then I accidentally stumbled and almost fell, so I reached out my hand and grabbed his arm without realizing it, but after that, I got another headache again…"She tried to explain everything as clearly as possible, afraid that he might misunderstand anything."What about those words you said to him?" he asked. "Was that all really just nonsense?"She felt choked, almost as if her voice was stuck in her throat and would not come out!Nonsense? No, it was not nonsense at all. It was the words she had heard the girl say to the boy in her dreams. But how could she tell him that? How could she answer his question now? She had no desire to lie to him, but she did not want to tell him anything that might cause him to misunderstand her when she still had not figured out the whole truth of the matter yet either."What's wrong?" he persisted. "Was the question that hard to answer?"Her silence made him look up at her, the dark pools in his ey

Serenity buried her face against Jackson's chest all along the way as he brought her straight to the bedroom before placing her down carefully on the bed.Serenity struggled to get up and said, "Listen to me, Jack! I've got something to tell you!""Okay," he replied quietly, but his fingers were already deftly loosening his necktie, and his eyes were locked on hers, "Speak, then. I'm listening."Serenity bit her lips. Only then did she realize how muddled her mind was.'No!' she reminded herself. 'I must keep my head clear!'Right now, the most crucial thing was to explain everything to him as clearly as possible!"I used the wrong word when I said he was like a lifebuoy… What I meant to say was that it was such an urgent situation that I clutched at his hand… without even realizing it…"The further she got in her sentence, the softer her voice became because by that point, he had already taken off all the clothes on the top half of his body, exposing that lean and muscular ches

He bent down and knelt in front of her before gently taking off her high heels. Then, he cupped his hand under her foot to hold it up and say, "Serenity, you're the only person on earth who can control and dominate me!"As soon as he had finished his sentence, he leaned down and planted a kiss on the arched instep of her foot…Serenity gasped. The way he acted just now… It looked just like he was giving her a vow that he was ready to put his life in her hands.The spot on her foot where he was kissing instantly felt scorchingly hot. She could clearly feel his lips against her skin. She wanted to say something, but her throat was too parched. She stayed silent till he raised his head and gazed at her with his twinkling eyes that were exuding such bewitching charm.Serenity knew perfectly well that he was willing to give her everything he had as long as she did not betray him!She also knew that he loved her so much that he was no longer like his usual self. She never expected him t

"Is it because you want to hide from Wilson Birch?" Serenity asked.After all, if Clara planned to get exonerated, she would have to meet the man again."I just don't want to take that risk," Clara replied. "I must make sure he never finds out about Yanny's existence. As soon as he discovers the truth, even if there's a one in a million chance that he might… that he might want to take Yanny away from me… I know that I'll go mad! Yanny is my whole life, Serenity!"Naturally, Serenity could perfectly understand the love Clara felt for Yanny. Even if she had never been a mother before, she could imagine that had she been in Clara's shoes, she would most likely have made the same choices Clara did. She would do anything to keep her child even if it meant not clearing her own name!"I met Wilson Birch again yesterday," Serenity suddenly announced.Clara's eyes were widened as big as saucers as she stared at Serenity in shock."It was at an exhibition," she continued. "He still remembe

It seemed that she had better resolve the problems regarding her dreams and her frequent headaches before they caused any more problems!And so, Serenity silently made up her mind and then made an appointment with Dr. Landale through the phone conversation they had just had. Meanwhile, after she had ended the call, Connor Gunn knocked on Jackson's office door and walked in."Mr. Valor," he reported, "Miss Lewis just contacted Dr. Landale and made an appointment with her. It's on the day after tomorrow."Jackson lowered his gaze. His long fingers were grasping a fountain pen at the time, and he kept on putting signatures on the documents in front of him as if nothing had happened, saying simply, "Okay. I got it."And so, Connor excused himself and left the office, but just before he closed the door, he suddenly heard a faint noise that sounded like something cracking or breaking.When the door was closed, Jackson remained sitting on the sofa, still in the same posture as before,

Yet, for some reason, after finding Lynette, he still had not given these dresses to her. He was unclear as to why he acted this way himself. In fact, he had not even returned the tiny silver bracelet to her.It was as if the act of handing these things over to Lynette would signify the end of all the dreams and fantasies he had been having all these years.What… What exactly was going on with him?These past two days, all he thought about was what Serenity had said to him when she had a headache.Was it all really just nonsense?The red marks she left on his wrist when she clutched at it had faded away, but the sensation of being held tightly by her still lingered there, as if it was refusing to go away."Serenity…" he murmured, gently holding the purple dress that was hanging in the closet. "Tell me the truth! What exactly is going on?"He looked as if he was holding his most intimate lover in his arms…— "Ah!" Serenity yelped as she jolted awake. She discovered herself sur

Why had he given up his life so easily? Why had he not thought of his only son? He must have known what Jackson, who was still a young boy then, would have to go through as soon as he died!Did this man really believe that sending Jackson back to the Valor family would solve all problems? How could he forget that his son needed a father by his side?By that point, Jack had already lost his mother, and then he had to lose his father as well. From a young age, he had to live in a house like this with no other family members but his grandpa who despised half of his lineage!She could almost imagine what his childhood must be like, walking on thin ice. There was no sign of affection between Jackson and his grandpa anywhere in the huge mansion at all, only a lonely child struggling to survive!Serenity walked through the front hall step by step until she reached the inner chamber. The furnishing in this room was exactly the same as she remembered when she was last here, with the memoria
