Even though she kept mentioning Lucas’ name, he was still reluctant to do so. If he trusted her, he would have believed what she told him in his father’s mourning hall, where she swore that she would never betray him! If he trusted her, he would believe that of all the people in this world, she loved him the most! If he trusted her, he would never have hidden his grandmother’s bracelet to deliberately hide the truth. But… what if he had never trusted her from the very beginning? At the thought of that possibility, Serenity felt as if her body had been plunged into an ice lake.Jackson pursed his lips. He had once told her to trust in him. However, when he saw Lucas carrying her on his back or when she secretly visited the hospital on numerous occasions, he began to doubt if he should continue trusting her.This feeling was utterly terrible! Serenity’s voice sounded again. “If you can’t even trust me, how can we carry on our relationship? Lucas, he…” “That’s enough! I told you to

“You’re… tired?” asked Serenity, who seemed to be only capable of repeating his words.“That’s right. I’m tired, so our relationship’s over!” It was too tiring for Jackson. Loving someone takes a toll on you, whether physically or mentally. If loving Serenity meant he had to suffer constant anxiety and restlessness, he would rather not love at all.If Lucas was destined to be her lover, he would rather not have the rest of her.Back then, when his father had died before his eyes, he swore to himself he would never lose his life to a woman who could betray him. It had never happened in the past, and it would never happen in the future!Serenity stood up awkwardly. While it was obvious that Jackson was standing in front of her, she couldn’t help but notice the distance between them. He was breaking up with her because he was tired? Then what did their relationship mean to him? Did he think it was just a game? The difference between them was that she was fully-invested in the relatio

Her eyes were completely dry. So, she was no longer able to cry even if she wanted to?***Perhaps there existed people in this world who were destined to never receive love.Once upon a time, the experience of being abandoned by Zeke had failed to teach her a lesson seeing as she had fallen in love with Jackson again! From the very start, they were from completely different worlds. If she hadn’t picked him up that night, there would never have been any interaction between them. In the end, she was the one who had approached him first, yet she had ended up being played like a chess piece. Now… it was time for her to find herself again.One step at a time, Serenity shuffled out of the kitchen. The Valor residence was dead quiet at the moment. There was not even a servant in sight. Maybe it was better this way. At the very least, she could avoid the awkward interactions. After she had gone through her moment of catharsis, Serenity returned to her bedroom.Her mood was completely

On her 28th birthday, God had decided to give her a taste of cruelty far beyond what she could have imagined.Dragging her two suitcases behind her, Serenity struggled to get down the stairs. When she finally made it out of the house, she bumped into the housekeeper.He was obviously surprised when he saw her dressed so plainly and pulling her suitcases.“Where are you going, Ms. Lewis?” “I’m moving out,” replied Serenity. “Jackson and I have broken up, so there’s no reason for me to stay anymore.” What?!The housekeeper appeared shocked. Broken up? With Mr. Valor?! But today… wasn’t today Serenity’s birthday? Didn’t Jackson arrange for a special birthday menu in the evening?However, judging by Serenity’s tone right now, it didn’t sound like she was joking. For a moment, the housekeeper was confounded.However, Serenity didn’t say a word. She continued dragging her suitcase and walked out of the Valor residence.The housekeeper proc

Clara was surprised. She could sense that something was wrong. "What's wrong? Did something happen?""...Yeah. I'll tell you later," Serenity struggled to keep her voice natural. "Please tell Yanny I'm sorry I can't treat him to cake today. Tell him I'll buy him a cake to make it up to him." "Don't worry about it. If you need any help, you know you can always come to me. I know I can't do much, but two heads are better than one," said Clara.Clara saw Serenity as a true friend.After getting out of jail, she left her hometown to avoid Wilson Birch.

Why did Serenity break up with Jackson Valor so suddenly?"He said he's tired and doesn't want to continue the relationship anymore. In truth, he had never truly believed in me," Serenity said self-deprecatingly with a bitter smile, "I guess I'm just not really cut out for romantic relationships!""Serenity, don't smile like that. It makes me sad when I see you smile like that." Lisa immediatel
