Chapter 253
“I fear getting used to this,” Serenity said, somewhat embarrassed. “If it happens more often, it’ll become a habit. When it’s
Igone, I’ll fall into despair again.”
“Why? Have you been hopeless before?” Jackson said casually.
Serenity took a deep breath and stopped avoiding his gaze. “Yes Once.”
Jackson froze, and his slight smile soon faded from his face.
“Can you please leave? I want to get changed, Serenity sald, almost pleading.
Jackson did not back off. His dark eyes remained fixed on her, his fingers stroking her cheeks, and he seemed to be lost in his thoughts
A few moments later, he murmured, “What if I say nothing will change even if it becomes a habit? win you still be afraid?
Jackson’s face was so close. Her heart thundered in her chest as she stared blankly at him, not knowing how to answer.
In the meantime, in the changing room, Serenity changed her clothes, blushing Jackson had left the room earlier, but even so, the touch of his fingers on her face lingered.
In the end, she had not answered his last question What if it became a habit and remained the same forever? What did he mean by that? Would he stand up for her all his life?
A man like him would not bother to tell cheap lles. Jackson must have meant his words, but what about the future?
‘Who knows what the future holds? He was never hers, to begin with.
‘Habits.. I’m better off without it,’ Serenity thought to herself
Meanwhile Jackson stood by the door outside the changing room. He kept his head down, seemingly in deep thought as his bodyguard stood behind him.
Alerted, the bodyguard looked to the left and saw a figure walking toward them.
The bodyguard naturally recognized the approaching figure. He was the prince of the entertainment industry, Lucas Gomez, and he was a friend of Jackson. The bodyguard did not move and remained rocted in place.
Lucas walked over to Jackson and asked, “You came here today to help her?”
Jackson slowly raised his head and looked up at Lucas with a small smile. “Yes, so what? What about you? What a coincidence to see you here.”
“Coincidence? Lucas snorted. When he learned that Jackson was here, he guessed that Serenity was also around. Then, he too had rushed over to see what was going on. Sure enough, it was an interesting show. He was not planning to share the reason for this. Jackson could probably guess lon.
“I don’t care whatever reasons brought you here today, whether coincidence or not. But Serenity… You mustn’t lay your hand on her. She’s mine,” Jackson spoke in a lazy tone. He seemed nonchalant about it, but his eyes were full of seriousness.
“Do you care about her that much? Lucas asked in reply.
“I do,” Jackson admitted frankly.
The bodyguard behind Jackson was shocked by that statement. He had never beard his abmitting something like this. “Mr. Valor actually admitted it. He cares about her!’ He then remandons Mr. Valor’s fiancee, Mira Hall. He did not seem to have said anything like this back then.
There was a slight flash of surprise in Lucas ‘s eyes. The two had known each other for years. Naturally, Lucas lww how race it
for Jackson to make such a statement.
