"Of course I trust her. She's going to be my wife, the person I will spend the rest of my life with. If I don't trust her, who do I trust? You?" he said coldly.Those words stabbed her mercilessly like a sharp sword.At first, she thought that even if he said the most ruthless and malicious thing to her, she wouldn't feel anything because her heart was already numb, but it turned out… she would still get hurt by such simple words."Wilson, I beg you, please ask her. I just want to know if she took Yanny away. If she didn't, I'll get out of your sight immediately.""Are you ordering me around? Clara Wells, who do you think you are?" Wilson mocked.Clara's face turned pale. She didn't even know how to beg this man. Perhaps he wouldn't care even if she died right before his eyes."Wilson, I know we're fighting for Yanny's custody, but at least for now, before the court reaches a verdict, please don't take Yanny away from me, okay?" She was begging him in the most humble way possible

"You really want to know?" Serenity glared at Wilson angrily. "Clara asked Yanny why he got into a fight. Yanny said it's because the other kids in the kindergarten said his mommy is a criminal and a bad person! This is all thanks to your fiancée, Mr. Birch. She made sure all the kids in the kindergarten knew that Clara's an ex-convict!"Wilson looked down. He glimpsed at Clara, who was crying hard, with complicated eyes."Mr. Birch, do you really have a clear conscience about Clara's case? You've never been to prison, so you wouldn't know what it feels like. For you, it's just a testimony, but for Clara, it's an eternal stain in her life!" Serenity said. Without waiting for Wilson's reply, she turned to Clara and consoled her.After a while, Clara eventually stopped crying."Clara, don't worry about Yanny's hearing aid. I've talked to Jack about it and he said he'd ask the doctor to make a matching one for Yanny so that he wouldn't have to go through another surgery to re-install

Grayson's smile stiffened. He argued, "I was emotional at the time. I didn't mean it. You're my daughter, so there's no way I can be mad at you for long. This isn't a good place to talk. Why don't we go inside?"Grayson tried to go into the Valor Residence."We're no longer family," Serenity said, "If that's why you came to see me, I'll tell you right now – we will never be a family!"Even though the man in front of her was related to her by blood, the so-called kinship between them had long dissipated!Grayson's face fell. He felt humiliated.Serenity said to Jackson, "Let's go, Jack."Of course Grayson wouldn't let Serenity go that easily. He tried to dash in front of her to stop her but was immediately pulled back by the security guards. He couldn't even get close to her.When Catherine saw that, she hurriedly said, "Serenity, you... Even if you don't see him as your father anymore, at least help your sister! Your sister only did those things because she was tricked by Lynett

It's... Serenity's voice! Jackson seemed to be jolted back to his senses, and his dark eyes, which were filled with hostility a moment ago, regained a bit of clarity."Jack, let go. I don't care what he says, and you don't have to care either! There's no need to make your hands dirty for a person like him!" Serenity said anxiously."You... don't care?" Jackson asked."Yes, I don't care!" She gave him an affirmative answer.His grip slowly loosened up.Grayson, who had just escaped death, was too frightened to speak. Catherine was also trembling hard.Serenity told her father and stepmother coldly, "Aria reaped what she sowed. I won't do her any favors, and I'm not doing it out of spite either because I simply don't care. You guys are no longer my family. My only family now is Jack!"Holding Jackson's hand, she strode towards the mansion.Grayson and Catherine were both still scared out of their wits, unable to utter a single word.As Jackson followed Serenity into the mansion,

Why would he be feeling uneasy? They've already reconciled and started over. Everything was moving in the right direction!Was she overthinking it?After the kiss, he stared at her with passionate eyes, "Serenity..."The way he called her name made her soul shudder.He hugged her tightly, as if he was holding the most precious treasure.Serenity stayed in his arms quietly, feeling his heartbeat and breathing.She seemed to be falling more and more in love with him. After letting go of her grudge, her love for him started growing rapidly.Serenity hugged Jackson back. She heard him whisper next to her ear, "Promise me that you'll forget about the past. We'll start all over."She smiled and said, "I thought we've already started over.""Promise me!" he insisted."Okay, okay, I promise," she said, "Let bygones be bygones. Let's forget about all the unhappy and unpleasant memories."He looked relieved. "After the babies are born, we'll hold a wedding. I want the whole world to k
