“Jackie wants to stay, doesn’t she?” Jackson continued, “It’s better to let her get what she wants. I’ll ask Elliot to inform the kindergarten later.” “What about your work?” Serenity asked. “I can communicate via video conference with my staff. It wouldn’t be a problem for a few days. Since the Hope family is aware of it, we should take the opportunity to settle it once and for all. You can return to Solaria earlier too. I don’t want you to stay here all the time.” Serenity was the real reason Jackson wanted to stay. “What if we can’t get things right in these few days? We don’t even know where Summer is!” “We can find out her whereabouts in three days.” Jackson was confident. “It’s impossible. Weston said so.” “Yeah, it’s impossible if the Stantons are the only ones searching. If I work with them, they will definitely be able to locate her within three days unless the Hope family has sent Summer out of Lanford. Every corner of Lanford will be searched in these three day

Serenity knew that she couldn’t get anything out of Clara’s mouth. “Get some rest and call me if you need anything.” “Sure,” Clara said with a smile. After Serenity left, Clara looked around at her quiet room and smiled bitterly. Suddenly she felt a kick. Clara gently caressed her belly. “Baby, I’m sorry that I can’t give you a complete family. I hope that your dad will not be too upset when I’m no longer around.” Clara didn’t know how long she would live. She was unsure of what would happen to her liver after she gave birth. Her condition was like a ticking bomb.Clara didn’t want Wilson to die with her when it came to that moment. -Wilson was drinking alone in a bar. His heart was in turmoil. Even though he claimed that he didn’t love Clara anymore, he couldn’t help but get closer to her due to muscle memory. He had kissed Clara today to prove that his feelings had totally faded, but he was almost lost in that kiss. He would have done something regretful if i

“I said, get lost!” Wilson’s icy tone and cold gaze made the woman tremble in fear. Wilson got up and was about to leave, but several men surrounded him. “Are you leaving after bullying a woman? You don’t get to leave today if you don’t compensate her,” one of the men said. The woman took the opportunity and walked over to the men pitifully. Wilson instantly knew that they were from the same group. He scoffed disdainfully. “You want money, right? Come and get it if you can.” After saying that, he unbuttoned and took off his blazer and removed his watch. The men and woman greedily eyed his watch which was worth millions. They rushed toward Wilson as they realized that he was wealthy. Although the Birch family was brought low by the financial crisis, they had always been a powerful family except for those difficult years. Wilson had received various martial arts training, and his stamina was way stronger than an average person who knew how to fight. Wilson wasn’t on the

The woman was petrified when she heard the crowd murmuring. She had offended someone powerful today. No one like Wilson dared to speak to Lucas coldly like that. Meanwhile, outside the bar, Lucas looked at Wilson, who was walking toward his car. “Why don’t you get into my car? I’ll send you back. You shouldn’t drive as you’re injured.” “No thanks,” Wilson refused while he opened the car door. Suddenly, he paused and asked Lucas, “You love Serenity a lot, don't you?” Lucas’s expression changed. “When did you start being so nosy?” Wilson continued to ask, “If it's possible to hypnotize you into forgetting your feelings for her, would you be willing to do so?” “What are you trying to say?” “There’s a kind of hypnosis that can make your feelings fade away without losing your memories. Everything will look like a movie to you. You will no longer feel any joys or sorrows toward the memories. Would you go through such a hypnosis?” Wilson asked. “No way. How could I live well i

‘How could I live well if my precious feelings for the one I love faded away?’Lucas’s words were right. Although Wilson didn’t feel hurt anymore, he felt empty, almost as if he had lost something important. Clara was resting on the couch when Wilson returned. She hadn’t turned off the lights yet. “Hey, you’re back.” She was startled when she saw Wilson’s bruised face. She quickly moved closer to him to inspect his injuries. “What happened to your face?! Did you drink?” Wilson reeked of alcohol. “Yeah, a little. Why don’t you go to bed first while I wash up,” Wilson said and took a new set of clothes from the closet before stepping into the shower.The warm water that trickled down his body made his wounds sting. ‘Do I regret it?’ Wilson asked himself as he put his hand over his heart. The emptiness in his heart was so vivid. Clara wasn’t asleep yet when Wilson came out from the bathroom. She was still sitting on the couch with a first-aid kit on the coffee table in f

“I’ll do it myself,” Wilson said. “What about your back? You can’t reach it, right?” Clara said and quickly added, “I ask Yanny to take off his clothes for me to apply medication when he’s injured too. You guys are the same in my eyes.” Clara said that to make the atmosphere less awkward, but she failed badly. Wilson stared at her and asked, “Is that so?” “Uh… yeah.” ‘At least they are the same gender.’ Clara didn’t say that out loud. Wilson removed his bathrobe to reveal his torso. “Are we that similar?” He asked. He didn’t know why he did that. He just didn’t want Clara to think that. He wondered if she saw him as her husband and if would she feel anything to see his upper body naked. All Clara could see was the bruises all over his body. Fortunately, he wasn’t badly injured although it was a fierce fight. Clara quickly applied the ointment on Wilson’s back and his chest. She moved closer to him subconsciously as she was applying the ointment on his chest. Wil

“I’m not in love with you. I’ll pay extra attention in the future,” Clara murmured as she lowered her eyes. Wilson released his grip on her hand. “Don’t do something that will make others misunderstand in the future.” Then, he put the bathrobe back on and left. He felt a familiar sharp pang in his chest when he stood up. It felt the same when Clara had said that she didn't love him. Wilson wondered why it hurt so much as he had forgotten his feelings for her. ‘Why?’He clenched his fist and repeatedly asked himself in his mind. However, he couldn’t get an answer. -Serenity and Jackson brought the three kids out to the famous tourist sites in Lanford since Fred had told Jacqueline that she hadn’t visited quite a lot of places yet.Serenity suddenly noticed that Micah looked like a third-wheeler among her kids. Jacqueline had Fred, and Caden had Cynthia as their childhood sweetheart. “Why are you spacing out?” Jackson asked. They were on a boat, and the kids were lo

Although Serenity couldn’t see Jackson’s expression in this position, she could tell that he was mindful of her answer. Serenity pondered momentarily and answered, “Maybe.” “I thought you'd say no.” “I didn’t want to lie to you since we made a promise to be honest with each other.” Jackson tightened his embrace. “It’d be nice if I was your childhood sweetheart. If only I could have met you a little earlier…” “I would still fall in love with you even if I had a childhood sweetheart,” Serenity said. “Really? You’re not saying that just to cheer me up?” Jackson asked. Serenity smiled and cupped his face. “I just said that I wouldn’t lie to you! But that being said, I wish I could have met you sooner too. You must have been cute when you were a kid.” Jackson’s ears reddened. Only Serenity would dare to describe him as cute. Just then, Serenity’s phone rang. It was an unknown number, but she heard Lucas’s voice when she picked up the phone. “Is this Serenity? I have a
