Chapter 107Jackson suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. Serently was fine when she left this morning, but…She had ended up in such a bad state. If he had come with her, she would not have suffered this way.When Jackson tried to approach her, her body trembled even more. She subconsciously squeezed the broken

Chapter 103Serenity smiled. “Aunt Theresa, I’ve quit drinking. You should know that I got into a car accident and was charged with drunk driving. How would I dare to drink again?”Theresa choked at Serenity’s reply and laughed twice awkwardly.Francis urged, “Serenity, it’s New Year. Let’s have a couple of drinks. It’s not like you’re going

Chapter 101After Serenity left, Jackson felt a sense of emptiness as he looked around the small rented home. He picked up the scarf she had left on the table and wrapped it around his neck with a slight smile.By the time Jackson walked out, Connor had been waiting outside for a long time. Connor was

Chapter 100  “Are you going, then?” asked Jackson.  Serenity nodded. “But…” She hesitated for a moment, “Do you want to go with me?”  He pondered for a moment and said, “I have to work overtime on New Year’s Eve. My boss said he would triple the pay. Why don’t you give me the address? I’ll go on New Year’s Day. ”  “Okay,” said Serenity. But after that, she hit her lip and said hesitantly, “nut some of my relatives might give you attitude. Just ignore them.”  Jackson smiled, “Don’t worry, I don’t care.”  She was the only one he cared about..  The closer it got to the New Year, the fewer people there were on the streets. Many people had gone back to their hometown to spend the New Year with their family.  Serenity’s mother’s maiden home was in a small town outside Solaria. It was not very far from the city, only about an hour and a half away by bus. Therefore, tickets were not that big of a problem.  When Serenity booked the tickets, she told Jackson, “Jack, give me your ID. I’ll book a ticket for you.”  She realized that she had never seen his ID before.  “I’ve already booked a ticket,” said Jackson.  Serenity did not pursue the matter. She took out the scarf that she had been knitting and wrapped it around Jackson.  Is it too short?” she asked.  “No, it’s just right,” he said. The scarf seemed to carry her scent. Wearing the scarf made him feel like he was surrounded by her scent.  “Then I’ll finish it up later so that you can wear it on New Year’s Eve. The gloves will take a bit longer, probably until after the New Year,” she said.  Lisa was originally planning to spend the New Year with Serenity, but after hearing that Serenity planned to go back to her mother’s hometown, she could not help feeling a little worried for her.  “You’re going alone?”  “Jack will be there on New Year’s Day to keep me company,” said Serenity.  “But those relatives on your mother’s side…” Lisa was aware of how ruthless they were when Serenity got into the accident.  “I want to see my grandmother. I haven’t visited her once after I was released from prison. I want to see how she’s doing.” said Serenity. Her grandmother was the only person she cared about over there.  “If anything happens, call me. I’ll be at home over the New Year,” said Lisa.  “Nothing will happen.” Serenity chuckled. “I’m going back to my mother’s hometown, not going to war.”  “Who knows what those relatives of yours will do,” Lisa muttered.  “Don’t worry. I’m just going there to see my grandmother, stay for two days and then come back,” said Serenity.  On New Year’s Eve, Serenity departed early in the moming. Before leaving, she reminded Jackson to be careful “I will,” Jackson said with a smile. 

Chapter 99  1/1  Serenity had lost count of the number of times she had to explain that Jack was not her boyfriend, but her younger brother. However, after the old lady found out that they were not related by blood, she went back to thinking that he was her boyfriend.  “He might not be right now, but he will be in the future. A sibling relationship like yours isn’t real.” That was what the old lady said.  Therefore, Serenity did not bother to explain anymore.  But whenever the old lady called Jack “the boyfriend“, he would smile and respond.  Jackson put Serenity on a stone bench in the park and said, “It’s colder today than it was yesterday. I’ll go get you another piece of clothing to put on.”  “Okay,” she replied.  When he came back with the clothes, he saw the neighborhood aunties surrounding Serenity and telling her something while she blushed profusely and waved her hands repeatedly.  Jackson slowed down. She looked so cute when she was blushing, like a harmless little kitten. It made him want to tease her.  When the neighborhood aunties saw him coming back, they left smiling and laughing. Some winked at Serenity, making her  blush even harder.  “What’s wrong?” Jackson asked while draping the clothes he brought on her.  Her dark eyes looked at him in embarrassment. Her cheeks were red and puffy like ripe apples. He felt like taking a bite.  He looked calm on the surface, but deep down, he was surprised.  It seemed her influence on him was becoming bigger and bigger. With only a blushing face, she made him.. like her even more.  “They thought you’re my boyfriend,” she said softly.  “So? We’ve always known that,” he said.  “And then they said you’re too pretty.” She got even more embarrassed.  “And?” he urged her to go on.  “And then they taught me the “Eighteen Moves to Tame Your Husband“.” She was too embarrassed to tell him the details.  “Maybe you can try them on me one day to see how effective they are,” said Jackson  “You too?” Serenity bit her lip.  He could not help swallowing hard.  Just then, Serenity’s phone rang and she picked it up. Her expression changed. She answered in a low voice.  After the call, Serenity told Jackson, “I have to go back to my mother’s hometown this coming New Year. My grandma wants  to see me.  Her grandmother was the only relative on her mother’s side that made her feel warm. When her father married her stepmother, he sent Serenity back to her mother’s malden home for a period of time. Her grandmother took care of her until she was in third grade, after which she returned to the city,  When she was young, she could only go back for a bit during the winter break and summer break, but after she graduated from high school, she would go back to visit her grandmother whenever she saved up enough money to buy a bus ticket, up until her accident three years ago… At that time, her grandmother’s health was already very poor. She was often bedridden.  Serenity’s other relatives cut all ties with her. Whenever she called, they would ruthlessly hang up. This was the first time in three years someone from her mother’s skle of the family had called ber.
