Jackson was going to hand Serenity the water he had just bought, but when he saw her pale face, he asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"She shook her head. "I... I'm just..." She struggled to find the words to complete her sentence.He frowned. Her face had gone completely pale and her forehead was drenched in sweat. One of her hands was gripping the steering wheel tightly and she could not stop shivering. Her eyes were filled with fear...It looked as if she was suffering a panic attack."Just what?" he asked? He put the water bottle aside and put his hand over her hand that was holding the steering wheel. Then, little by little, he removed her hand from the steering wheel. "Don't be scared. I'm here. No matter what happens, there's no reason to be scared."His voice was powerful and firm. It reverberated in her ears.Serenity closed her eyes and took two deep breaths before her trembling gradually subsided.It's all in the past now. There's no reason to b

He stroked her cheek gingerly. Then, his thin lips gently parted, and he said with a hoarse and suppressed voice, "Love me, okay?"It was as if he was pleading. He wanted it so badly.Seeing him like this made her lick her lips unconsciously, but that only made her lips look even more attractive. She didn't know how to answer. She was gradually losing her rationality, lost in his scent.He found her fresh face, dark eyes, tiny nose, and the way she looked at him all so tempting.The past him could never have imagined that he would ask for a woman's love like this.But everything seemed to have changed after he met her.He realized that he wanted her – and her love – so badly!The desire kept getting stronger and stronger. Before her, he was willing to put aside his pride and his principles. He made an exception for her over and over again so that he could experience the feelings that he had never felt before.He once again pressed his lips to hers. However, unlike the forceful

When she thought of what happened last night, Serenity's face started to burn again.She was already awake, but she had not opened her eyes yet. She was afraid that it would be awkward if she opened her eyes and saw Jackson looking at her.What should she say to make it less awkward?Serenity started to ponder.But before she could think of anything, she heard him ask, "Are you awake? Why won't you open your eyes if you're awake? Are you afraid to look at me?"Serenity winced. She opened her eyes and saw an unusually handsome face – Jackson's face!He was currently propping himself up on the edge of the bed with one hand and bending forward. His face was very close to hers. She could feel his warm breath on her face.At such close proximity, she could count how many eyelashes he had.His long, dark eyelashes would make women jealous. Coupled with those beautiful eyes of his... When her eyes met his, she could not help thinking about last night, when those eyes of his were fil

"Do you really expect them to help us? How?" asked Quinton. "Would the Shaw family become enemies with Jackson Valor? Do you want the Shaw family to inject hundreds of millions of dollars into our family business to raise the stock price back up?"Demetria instantly shut her mouth. She was not completely clueless about business. After hearing what her husband said, she understood that it was impossible to get help from the Shaw family.Leaving aside the question of whether the Shaw family had hundreds of millions of dollars in liquidity, she knew there was no way the Shaw family would become enemies with Jackson Valor for them."Then... what should we do?" Demetria asked anxiously, "What is wrong with Jackson Valor? How can he let himself be seduced by a woman like Serenity Lewis? Did she put a spell on him or something? She's just a woman Zeke cast away!"Quinton said a little impatiently, "That's enough. You can say that to me, but don't let anyone else hear you say that or we'll

"But from what I can see, Mr. Valor is treating you very well. I'm glad you found happiness, Serenity," said Clara.Found happiness? Maybe. Things were getting better and better between her and Jack. She felt like they had regained the warmth that they had back in the rental house.No, there was something different about their relationship now. Back then, she treated him as a younger brother, as family, but now, she treated him as a lover, as someone who would potentially spend the rest of her life with her."I'm glad you found happiness too, Clara. Yanny can hear and speak now. In the future, he'll be able to read and make friends normally like other children," said Serenity."Yeah, Yanny is my everything. I don't care how hard my life is as long as he can be happy," said Clara. She then smiled at Serenity and said, "You're not a mother yet, so you might not understand. When you become a mother, you'll know that a mother will sacrifice anything for her child!"Become a mother...?
