Chapter 410
"Why didn't you turn on the lights?" Serenity asked, feeling that something was off.Jackson simply avoided her question and murmured, "I missed you." Serenity's face flushed red, her heart racing. She was glad for the dark surroundings and hid her red face in the darkness. "What about you? Did you miss me today?" His deep voice resonated through her, his breath brushing the nape of her neck.All her attention shifted to the nape of her neck. She could feel his breath, and his lips were close to her, almost kissing her ear.In a daze, she felt a tickle of pain on her earlobe. She jolted to her senses, her face bright crimson. Jackson was nibbling her ear!"Did you miss me?" His low murmur rang again."Yes..." she almost stammered. "Uh... Let me go. I'll put my bag away," she said unsteadily. She could barely breathe, and the air that hung there between them was too much for her to handle.He did not oblige, still holding her in his embrace. Instead, he probed for her answer

"I'm not asking you to fall in love with me immediately. I'm not asking you to open your heart to me all of a sudden either. I just want you to like me a little better. I just want you to love me more," Jackson murmured.Jackson feared that Serenity did not like him enough. Her other feelings for him could replace her little love for him without warning, and he was afraid that she would leave him one day. Jackson slowly made her turn, and their eyes locked on each other.The living room was pitch black. The moonlight from the window allowed Serenity to see the outline of his face but not his expression. She could tell he was looking at her.Serenity raised her arm and cupped his cheeks as she promised solemnly, "Okay. I'll learn to love you better."Before this, Serenity was still confused about their relationship. She could not see a future together with him. It seemed her thoughts had changed. Serenity was willing to accept Jackson, regardless of their future. She wanted to s
Chapter 412
Jackson was a powerful man with a high position in society. Endless temptations surrounded him. Even so, she knew his love for her was true for the moment. However, would this endure the future and last forever?"I will never love anyone else. You're the only one I've ever loved in my life," Jackson vowed. "So, if I make a mistake about something else, you'll forgive me, won't you?" His murmur was pleading and eager."Yes," Serenity responded.When the one-syllable answer was out of her mouth, Jackson hugged her and squeezed her tight again."Remember what you’ve said today, Serenity. Don't forget this. You promised!" Serenity's promise seemed extremely important to him, something unforgettable and never-changing.***Later, Serenity could see the red creeping over her cheeks in the bathroom mirror.It had been a while since they had hugged and kissed in the living room, but the flush on her cheeks had not faded.Jackson had seemed a little odd earlier. Serenity felt that som

The video was no longer online, but... Serenity did not want to hide it from Jackson. After all, they were officially dating. "Well..." Serenity told Jackson about what had happened earlier at noon, including the dispute and Lucas helping her.Serenity studied Jackson's face when she finished the story, but he did not seem surprised. She could not resist asking, "You knew?""Yeah. I saw that video," Jackson said.Serenity was surprised in turn. She had not even seen the video yet he had seen it!Afraid he would misunderstand, she spoke first. "That video... There's nothing between us." She had heard about the video earlier. Clara had mentioned that many comments were speculating about her relationship with Lucas.Jackson sat on the bed with his arms around her waist. He tilted his head slightly and looked up at her. "So, you're not attracted to Lucas, are you?""Of course not," Serenity answered. Her? Attracted to Lucas? Speaking of which, she found Jackson much more attracti
Chapter 414
Serenity immediately thought of what had happened yesterday. Lucas had helped her tie her shoelace. Was Jackson jealous?"Is he actually jealous?" Serenity thought, feeling that it was a little sweet. Jackson being jealous was something that would have never crossed her mind before. 'The sun?' Clara looked out the window at the cloudy sky. The sun was hiding behind the thick clouds on this cloudy day."Oh, right. Yanny is going to get his surgery done soon. My mother and I are going to the hospital. We'll take care of him for a couple of days. I'll take a few days off but don't worry. Wages will be paid as usual." Clara said, "I'll inform you when to start work again.""Sure." Serenity said, "I wish Yanny a smooth and successful surgery. Let me know after that. I'm eager to know the news of his surgery too.""Alright," Clara responded, smiling. Although closing the store for a few days would affect business, her son's hearing was her utmost priority for the moment.Clara had man

"Where is Serenity? Is she not in the store?" Lucas inquired."Serenity... She went to make a delivery. She'll be back soon," Clara answered.Lucas stopped asking questions and ordered a special coffee milk tea. He then got a seat for himself and sipped the drink slowly.Lucas was a naturally striking man. His presence in the shop alone attracted many people's attention. As business was slow, few guests were in the restaurant. No one recognized this eye-catching man as the Prince Lucas of the entertainment world.Despite his aloofness, his looks and figure alone seemed strangely attractive to many. Many guests in the restaurant frequently cast their eyes upon him.Even Clara could not help but marvel at Lucas' presence. The way he sat there leisurely, sipping his coffee milk tea, seemed like an advertisement rolling in real life. For some reason, Clara found the coffee milk tea she served in the restaurant classier than ever. Clara wondered how long it would take for Serenity to
Chapter 416
Lucas' fingers tightened around the coffee cup. "What if I regret it?" Lucas had underestimated Serenity's influence on him when he made his previous decision. He had thought that he only cared for her because she looked like the little girl in his memory.Gradually, Lucas realized that it was more than that. He felt his heart clench whenever he saw someone trying to harm her. He would always rush over to her rescue subconsciously, almost as if seeing her a little hurt was enough to make his heart ache.Lucas was unwilling to let her leave whenever they parted, wishing her gaze on him would stay a little longer, even if it was just for a little while!No other woman had ever affected him as much as her. When had he ever cared so much about a woman? He only cared about the little girl who had saved his life back then, but Serenity was an exception.Lucas occasionally wondered. Maybe he should not have given Serenity to Jackson without putting up a fight. Would things be different if
Chapter 417
Jackson continued to drink his coffee leisurely as if nothing out of the ordinary was happening. It even seemed that he was having a casual chat with Lucas instead of talking about something that might literally shake the foundation of Solaria.Likewise, the gleam in Lucas's eyes slowly faded as he picked up his cup of coffee and casually took a sip.The tense atmosphere between the two men slowly evaporated. Now, they merely looked like two friends hanging out at the restaurant.The sight overwhelmed Clara for a moment, and she was not alone. The customers in the restaurant, especially the women, could not help but steal a glance at the two men from time to time. After all, both of them were handsome enough that they could easily rival celebrities.In fact, one of the women there even furtively pulled out her phone to take a photo of the two men, but just as she aimed her phone at Jackson and Lucas, before she even had the time to take a picture, her camera was blocked by a huge h
