Chapter 265When Serenity spun around, she found Jackson leaning against the door where the two rooms were connected, his gaze fixedon her.“Who called?” Jackson came to her and asked.“My father,” Serenity answered, “I’m going home tomorrow night. Tell the driver not to pick me up at the Sanitation Office.” Jackson’s eyes were thoughtful. “Do you […]

Chapter 264“Serenity just doesn’t want Aria to have good things, especially when she can’t have them herself!” Catherine was indignant.” If she’s ruining things for Aria and Lucas, I’ll tear her apart!!Grayson said instead, “Could there be a misunderstanding?”After all, Serenity was also his daughter. To be frank, Grayson did not really care which of

Chapter 263“But what I said earlier, you’d better take it to heart,” Jackson reminded her.Serenity was stunned. What did he mean by that? Take it toart? What he had said earlier w…1/2“If she wants to, I’d gladly marry her.’ Did Jackson really know the meaning behind this?Serenity’s thoughts were a mess, and it went on

Chapter 262Jackson’s words made Serenity jolt in shock. She looked up, somewhat startled, and met Jackson’s clear eyes.Liliana’s face changed, and she let out a dry laugh as she said, “Mr. Valor, you love Serenity so much. I couldn’t tell at all. Do you plan to get married?”“If she wants to, I’ll gladly marry her,”

Chapter 261The three ordered coffee for themselves, and Liliana intentionally talked to Serenity about various topics. She kept asking about Serenity’s current job for many reasons. She just wanted to hear more about Serenity’s misery and observe Jackson’s reaction after hearing this.Jackson was calm and collected, and it seemed he was aware of Serenity’s situation.

Chapter 260Then, there had been the turn of events. Before they could go to the mall again, he was no longer the Jack she knew, but Jackson Valor.Serenity did not expect Jackson to remember her casual ramble to him before.“Serenity? Who is he?” Liliana looked at Jackson in a daze and asked somewhat nervously.Jackson had

Chapter 259“Don’t worry about it,” Serenity said indifferently. “My friend is waiting for me nutside too. I’ll be leaving.”“Hey, why are you in so much hurry?” Liliana hastily added, “You must be single, right? My boyfriend is a university professor. He knows a lot of people. Shall I get him to introduce you to somebody?Liliana

Chapter 258Many people in Solaria knew that Jenny and Zeke were engaged. They would be married soon. Liliana’s mention of Zekas Serenity’s ex-boyfriend seemed like a deliberate reminder.Serenity stared at Liliana and suddenly had a moment of clarity in her heart.Liliana felt a little uncomfortable as Serenity gazed at her. She seemed to have seen

Chapter 257  Jackson’s intense gaze was ton direct and scorching, so much so that Serenity looked up at him helplessly. “Are you not rating?”  “I am, but I’ll watch you eat for a while, It’ll make the food taste better,” Jackson said.  Serenity felt really speechless, completely lost for words. What did he mean by that? Would watching her eat really make the food better?  “Every time I watch you eat, I find the food tastier,” Jackson murmured.  “That’s because you’ve never starved before. Serenity mocked indifferently, “If you haven’t eaten for a few days, you’ll find even white rice soaked in water delicious”  His gaze darkened. “Have you starved before?”  “Yeah, I have,” Serenity answered flatly. She used to be living on the verge of life and death. When she mentioned it again, her experience seemed to have become something ordinary.  Jackson pursed his lips. “While in prison?”  “Veal,” Serenity responded.  After that, the two never said anything else, and Jackson’s heavy gaze remained on Serenity as she ate  Serenity was wearing her usual cheap clothes. She kept her head down, a few tendrils of hair on her cheeks. She had a slender neck and a thin body, and she seemed much slimmer than the photos he had collected of her before she went to prison. She had lost a lot of weight and seemed fragile.  Serenity ate with her head down and took every bite seriously. Her seriousness, however, made him feel sour and heavy.  Jackson had lost count of the countless times he regretted it. After getting to know Serenity, he grew to care so much about her. If Jackson had known, he would not have let her suffer so much in prison!  Jackson would never have sent her to jail with such a charge!  Jackson kept his head down and ate his meal. However, filled with regret, the food somehow seemed tasteless and bitter.  After the meal, Serenity said, “I’m heading to the restroom.”  “I’ll come with you,” Jackson said.  Serenity was speechless. Did he have to go to the restroom with her? It somehow reminded her of the old days. Girls in elementary and junior high school always loved going to the restroom together. Was he seriously coming to the restroom with her?  Fortunately, when she arrived at the restroom, Jackson stood outside waiting a few meters away from the entrance to the  restroom.  Serenity let out a sigh of relief. She feared he would speak to the mall management and reserve the entire restroom and then go in with her.  Serenity went into the restroom. When she was done, she came to the sink area to wash her hands. Then, a voice suddenly sounded beside lær, “Hey, isn’t that. Serenity? Are you here to shop ton?  Serenity looked up and saw her former law firm colleague, Liliana Granger.  Back then, they had entered the law firm in the same batch. Serenity and Liliana got along well, and Liliana often cared about her and befriended her. However, Liliana had never been warm to her even once after she got into trouble.  I  It was a little embarrassing for Serenity to meet her former colleague again.  “I’ve seen the news. Jenny and your ex–boyfriend Zeke visited the sanitation workers at the Sanitation Office and even  brought gifts. I think I saw a photo of you wearing a uniform in the Sanitation Office. Are you working as a sanitation worker  Chapter 757  now?” Liliana said with a look of concer 

Chapter 256There was a hint of gentleness in Jackson’s eyes. It was as if he could tolerate her no matter what she did. He was indescribably charming with the light in his eyes and smile on his lips.Serenity suddenly realized that she was being such an idiot. Even if she ordered everything on the menu,
