"You're very light," replied Jackson. He was telling the truth. Although Serenity was over 160 cm tall, Jackson estimated that she weighed no more than 45 kg. He would make sure to feed her well from now on.She leaned her face against his back. It felt very warm. When was the last time she had been carried like this? She could only remember her mother carrying her like this when she was a child.However, the memory was very fuzzy because it was so long ago."Jack, you're so nice," she murmured."Are you going to say that I'm a nice guy again?" he asked."What I'm trying to say is, you're a really nice little brother. I'm so lucky to have a little brother like you," she said.Little brother... His eyes flickered slightly.When this game started, wasn't he the one who chose to stay by her side as a younger brother? She asked him to call her Sis.But now, it seemed like he no longer wanted her to think of him as just a younger brother. He wanted... more.Jackson carried Serenit

"But if I get fired, I won't have any income. What do we do about rent and food?""I'll take care of them!" he said, "I'll earn enough money to support you, so don't you worry."Serenity stared at him in surprise. She knew that he was only doing odd jobs so he did not earn much, but when he said those words, it somehow gave her a sense of security.It reminded her that she was not alone. She actually had someone to rely on. She could rely on him."Call your boss." He handed her the phone.She bit her lip. In the end, she relented and called her team leader at the Sanitation Office who was responsible for managing them.At first, she thought it would be very difficult to ask for an extended leave, but to her surprise, when she said she needed a week off, the team leader immediately agreed. He even said that if a week was not enough, she could even take two weeks off. Not only that, she would still be paid the basic salary and he would not deduct her pay.Serenity was astonished.

But after that, Connor immediately reminded himself to stop speculating. It was not something that he should concern himself with.Connor gently closed the door behind him. Inside the house, Jackson looked at the still-asleep Serenity. He brought the medicine in his hand to her slightly dry lips. "Be a good girl and take the medicine, okay?"However, her lips shut tighter instead. He could not even stuff the pill into her mouth, let alone make her swallow it.Jackson pursed his lips so hard that it almost formed a straight line. He put the pill in his mouth together with some water, lowered his head and moved his mouth closer to Serenity's.His lips pressed against hers. The tip of his tongue pried open her lips and pushed the medicine into her mouth. There were actually other methods he could have used, but for some reason, he chose to use this method to feed her the medicine.Even though the medicine was already in her mouth, he was still longing for her lips.The sensation was

Zeke wanted to make amends with Jackson Valor, but he could not even get the chance to see him, so all he could do was wait at the main entrance of Serenity's neighborhood, hoping to run into Jackson. When he finally saw a Bentley pull up not far from the entrance and a man coming down from it, he quickly got out of his car to greet the man."Mr. Valor, I'm really sorry for what happened before. My sister is young and ignorant. Please forgive us," Zeke humbly apologized."Forgive you?" Jackson snorted indifferently."If you have any requests, feel free to tell me. I'll agree to anything as long as it's within my power to do so."Jackson stared coldly at the guy in front of him. In that instant, Zeke felt like his blood was freezing up. Jackson's gaze made him feel like he was being watched by a fierce beast. He did not even dare to breathe too hard."Actually, I owe you a favor," Jackson abruptly said."A favor?" Zeke was perplexed. He had no idea when he did Jackson Valor a favo

God, what was she thinking? How could she think that?"It's too close so it feels weird," said Serenity."Okay, then," he said. He released her and took a step back, then went to the table to clear it.Serenity let out a sigh of relief. She touched her face, and it felt quite hot."By the way, Sis, when we were really close just now, did you have the urge to kiss me?" His sudden question made her entire body freeze up.She blinked her dark almond eyes. The face under her palms felt even hotter now."Is that a hard question to answer?" he asked with raised eyebrows."Well... Of course I...""I would do it if it's with you," he interrupted her, "I don't like other women kissing me, but if it's you, I wouldn't mind it."Sunlight spilled into the room through a narrow glass window and fell on him.His expression was serious, as if he was trying to convince her that he was not joking.The latter part of her sentence, "I only see you as a brother", got stuck in her throat, unable
