"Yeah," Serenity responded."Hmm… What about your brother?" Peter asked.Serenity visibly stiffened at the mention of her brother. Jack used to be very close to her, but he seemed too far away after what had happened later."H-He went back home. I only took him in for a while," Serenity said softly.

Serenity wanted Peter to forget about her. Peter's feelings for her would never be fruitful.Years ago, someone had made Serenity the scapegoat for Mira's death. She had been powerless and became a discarded pawn that attracted the wrath of everyone around!

Serenity turned slightly to her side and looked at the man beside her seriously.Although Peter looked ordinary, he had a kind of power that could warm other's hearts. After what Serenity had been through, she thought maybe the miracle of the ordinary was more precious than anything else."Peter, you're nice. You're a good guy, but I'm not the one for you," Serenity said. "I've been through a lot. I no longer believe in love and relationships. I just want to focus on my c

"I-I really like you. I know I'm not good enough. I can't give you a luxurious life, but we can have a good and steady life together. I'll do everything I can to keep you safe. You said we can't develop a relationship, but you never gave it a try. How would you know?" Peter was stammering, so anxious yet so earnest.Serenity's nose felt a bit sour.

They shared a warm hug, so heartwarming she hoped Peter would meet a woman who truly loved him one day!"Peter, thank you. Even if you hold me like this now, I still don't feel a thing. Do you think there's any point in trying?" Serenity said, listening to Peter's silent breathing.

Then, she abruptly remembered something and froze. Serenity looked around her room. Everything seemed to be the same as usual. She was still in her pajamas. There was nothing strange.She remembered someone kissing her in her sleep last night, and then she had passed out! She had not seen who it was, but it felt like Jack!There seemed to be nothing abnormal. Was the kiss just a dream of hers? Maybe deep down in her heart, she had not forgotten him yet.
