At this moment, Serenity sat at the dining table, observing the three dishes and one soup served. The dishes and soup were still steaming, but their presentation was rather ordinary. It didn't quite resemble the work of a gourmet chef."I made this myself. Give it a try," Jackson said, almost as if he had sensed her curiosity.She was mildly surprised. He could... make soup and cook?"Back then, you cooked for me in the rented apartment. Now, I'm cooking for you. Is that not a good thing? If it doesn't taste good, I'll do better next time," he said with a smile.He acted as if there had been no breakup between them and the painful memories never existed.It was as though they had returned to the warmest times in their relationship.Serenity felt a bit uncomfortable and averted her gaze, not wanting to meet his eyes. His eyes were as alluring as always, stirring ripples in her otherwise calm heart."What about the servants? Why haven't I seen any other servants here?" she t

"Yes, we broke up," he murmured softly, "and breaking up with you is the biggest regret of my life. So, I won't allow myself to regret it any further."He intended to make her fall in love with him again and love him so deeply that she couldn't leave him!***In the evening, Serenity sat on the couch in her room. She gazed at the torn, purple floral dress she held in her hands. The dress was ripped from the neckline to one of the sleeves. Even with mending, it would be difficult to restore its original condition.As she looked at this dress that had once been so perfect but was now in this state, Serenity felt a sense of discomfort. After all, this dress had been a gift from "Luke".Even though Lucas didn't know that the little girl from his past was her, and even though he had given her the dress unintentionally, it seemed like a series of coincidences was causing all those childhood promises to be fulfilled one by one.She bit her lip and got up. Walking to a nearby cabinet, sh

"Jackson, do I have to conform to your desires, without having my own thoughts, my own concerns, and without ever making you angry?" Serenity asked. "You keep saying you love me, but have you ever respected me?"Jackson stopped his movements, and he looked up at her. It seemed that all emotions had receded from his eyes, leaving behind only a deep, cold emptiness. After a considerable pause, he finally responded, "Are you asking me to respect you?"His voice was chilly and resonated with desolation throughout the room.She smiled bitterly. "Never mind. That was foolish of me to say. If you truly respected me, you wouldn't have kept me locked up here.""I can respect you, fulfill your every desire, do whatever you ask of me... As long as you can love me and stop thinking about or missing other men," he murmured.For him, saying such words already meant he was in a subservient position.However, Serenity responded indifferently, "Your respect for me seems to come with the conditi

Looking at his son’s right hand that was still wrapped in gauze, Mr. Gomez told his son, “Breaking your hand over a woman, what a joke!” “So long as I can find her, so what if I break my other arm?” asked Lucas. “You!” Mr. Gomez was immediately angered by his response. At that point, Mrs. Gomez stepped forward to comfort her husband. She then turned to Lucas and reminded him, “That’s enough, don’t anger him anymore. Since Jackson has made it clear that she’s different from any other woman, why are you so adamant about going after her?” Although the Valor family was influential in Solaria, the Gomez family wasn’t any weaker either. Mrs. Gomez wasn’t afraid of a confrontation with them. However, she thought Serenity was just another woman. She wasn’t even the girl that her son had been obsessed with since he was a boy. In other words, there were so many people who could replace her. The one thing that the entertainment industry could never run out of was young attractive women!

“Yeah, even if they find this place, they won’t be able to do anything about it,” said Jackson as he pulled out his phone and handed it to her. This was his mobile phone, not hers!Thankfully, she was blessed with a good memory. At least, she could still remember both Lisa and Clara’s phone numbers. And so, she dialed Lisa’s number first. Lisa’s voice was so excited when she answered the call that Serenity almost dropped the phone. “Serenity! W-Where are you right now? Did you know who brought you away? It was Jackson! Oh, you don’t know how worried I am for you! Did he do anything to you? That b*stard! How dare he take you away without your consent?! This is kidnapping! A crime, I say!” Serenity’s face froze up immediately. She was worried that if her friend was allowed to keep talking, she might say something that offended Jackson, so she immediately said, “I… I’m fine at the moment. Lisa, I called you to let you know that I’m fine, and you don’t have to worry about me. As for
