"Oh, sure!" Mr. Graham immediately agreed. Although Lucas had never introduced himself, Mr. Graham recognized him. He personally took him to a meeting room and instructed Serenity, "You stay here and have a nice chat with Mr. Gomez."Serenity felt a little speechless at Mr. Graham's enthusiasm.Mr. Graham left and closed the door, leaving Serenity and Lucas alone in the meeting room. An indescribable tension loomed in the air.Outside the meeting room, Liliana and the other colleagues were stunned. It was a surprising turn of events. It started with Coles' meeting with Serenity. Caroline soon arrived, catching Coles and Serenity in a so-called affair. Then, the whole situation had changed. Serenity was not Coles' affair partner. Instead, she seemed to have a close relationship with Prince Lucas from the entertainment industry.When Lucas appeared, Liliana was the only one who felt different. Lucas had happened to see Liliana giving Serenity a hard time once. He had been very prot

"I'll leave first if there's nothing else," Serenity said, heading toward the exit of the meeting room. Before she even touched the door handle, Lucas grabbed her hand."Serenity. Must you push me away like this?" Lucas spoke, his usually calm voice sounding a little anxious because of Serenity. Lucas felt a rare anxiety in him, a feeling he could not explain clearly.Serenity looked at the handsome face in a daze. Lucas' delicate features reminded her of a younger version of him.The young Lucas flashed before her eyes. The young Serenity had been exhausted from carrying the little boy in the dense forest. The little boy had said to her, "I'll be very nice to you. I'll buy you nice dresses and bring you to eat lots of good food. I'll protect you better than anyone else!"The young Serenity had not taken the boy's words seriously. After all, children were usually forgetful. Serenity forgot everything about Lucas after a high fever, let alone the memories with him. She never knew he

Her face would occasionally flash before his eyes. The memory of their meeting in the mountain frequently haunted his dreams. He remembered how he had carried her on his back—it was as if she was the little girl from back then."Do you still love Jackson?" Lucas muttered his question.Serenity chuckled and looked at Lucas with a ghost of a smile. "Does it really matter?"Jackson had told Serenity before, telling her not to fall in love with Lucas. Meanwhile, Lucas was asking Serenity if it was true that she no longer loved Jackson.What Jackson and Lucas wanted was just a result. They did not care what she really wanted—peace was all she ever wanted!Lucas stared blankly at Serenity. Her smile and voice were like invisible blades, piercing his heart with pain!***Serenity got off work in exhaustion. Too many things had happened at work. When she finally arrived at her neighborhood, she noticed a familiar-looking black car parked at the entrance. The black car had already attrac

"Well, I do. I know everything about you," Jackson said.Serenity chewed on her lips. "He came to look for me but didn't say anything," she explained. Jackson seemed to know everything going on around her. Was she under his surveillance?"Is that so?" Jackson murmured softly and approached Serenity. "I'm curious. Why didn't you tell him? You're the one who saved him as a kid."Serenity stiffened at his question.Jackson raised his hand, his finger gently brushing across her lips. "Tell me… why?" he asked in a low voice. For some reason, it sounded as beautiful as a violin.Serenity's nose was suddenly a little sore. 'Why? He's asking why?! Didn’t he know?!' Jackson was the reason. She loved him so much that she had tried to bury the memory even though she remembered it. Serenity did not say a word when Lynette took her place, claiming to have saved Lucas as a child. She did not want to upset Jackson, so she cut all ties with Lucas.It was just so ridiculous. Serenity thought Ja

Jackson regretted having Serenity over to cook dinner. He ordered, "Continue to rinse your hand with the cold water. I'll handle the soup.""You will?" Serenity was surprised."Why not?" Jackson asked in reply. He walked to the pot and opened the lid, looking at the soup inside. Then, he turned off the fire after adding a little seasoning and tasting the flavor with a small spoon.Jackson was so elegant and natural when he moved. Serenity thought she was watching some kind of gourmet show.As Jackson prepared the soup, his gaze occasionally flicked to her as if to check if she was rinsing her hand.Serenity rinsed her hand in the cold water for about 10 minutes. Her fingers were finally free from the cold water. It was still a little red, but nothing serious."It's still a little red," Jackson said, still frowning."It'll heal in two days," Serenity said. The next moment, Serenity froze. Jackson had taken her hand and put her finger in his mouth. He licked it gently to soothe

Jackson had almost lost control just now! He had decided not to love her. Jackson had already broken up with Serenity. Even though he called her Sis, her influence on him was still so strong.When Serenity stared at him with her almond eyes, he lost all his reasoning, and everything spiraled out of control."Tell me what it would take to stop loving you..." Jackson's murmur rang in the silence of the bedroom.Jackson thought it would be hard to love someone, but he had fallen in love with her in a heartbeat. He thought it would be just as easy to stop loving her, but… It was so hard."Serenity… Serenity…" He called her name over and over again, his voice hoarse. She seemed to be his only one…***Serenity went to work the next day, and many people in the law firm looked at her in a different light. Some came to Serenity and inquired about her relationship with Lucas. Serenity gave them all the same reply: "There's nothing between us."Her colleagues who came asking curiously r

Serenity was relieved to hear that. Mrs. Wells had gone grocery shopping, so she should be nearby and would be home in no time.Serenity asked more questions and said, "Yanny, listen. Help your mommy loosen her collar. Get a pillow and put your mommy's feet up. I'll call the ambulance now. When Grandma comes home, talk to her, okay?""Okay. I understand," Yanny responded.Serenity quickly called the emergency service and gave Clara's current address and explained the situation to them. About 15 minutes later, Mrs. Wells called. The ambulance soon arrived, and the doctor examined Clara. It did not seem serious, but they took her to the hospital for a check-up just in case.Serenity relaxed a little. She asked Mrs. Wells about the hospital Clara was sent to and hurried to the hospital after work. Serenity met Clara in the hospital. Clara was lying on the hospital bed in a hospital gown, and she seemed much thinner than before.The hospital gown looked very oversized on her. Clara

"I'll help, of course," Serenity said, thinking she could at least help Clara save some money. "It's just… I'm not sure if we'll win. After all, there are a lot of unfavorable factors at present," Serenity said frankly."I know! I know," Clara repeatedly answered. She knew she could not change her past and remove the unfavorable factors, but she was grateful that Serenity would help her with the lawsuit. "Serenity, thanks.""By the way, are you going to stay in Solaria? Have you decided on Yanny's kindergarten yet?" Serenity asked, recalling the matter. After all, she knew Yanny had been looking forward to kindergarten."Not yet." Clara's joy turned gloomy. Clara had tried to enroll her son in several private kindergartens lately, but as soon as they learned that the child was deaf, they turned her down. Clara repeatedly emphasized that Yanny had hearing aids and had no problem communicating with them, but her efforts were futile.Serenity pondered, "I'll find a way, then.""You
