As soon as the car reached the entrance to Lisa's apartment complex, she lowered her head and unbuckled her seatbelt before thanking Terry in a soft voice, and just as she was about to step out of the car, she heard Terry's voice from behind her asking–"Are you going to date that guy?"Lisa froze for a good while before she regained her senses again, then realized that Terry probably meant Gale Porter when he said "that guy"."He's really not bad at all," she said. "He's financially stable, and we got along pretty well. Besides, he's also quite attractive, so if he does end up liking me, I don't see why I shouldn't date him.""Is that all you think about before deciding to date him?" he asked, glaring at her. "Does that mean that you like him?""Why not?" she asked, slightly bemused by his reaction. "He's pretty much a dream guy for so many women!""Lisa!" he cried, his voice suddenly raised. There was a hint of anger in his voice, which only puzzled her. Why would he be angry a

The store manager's attitude was much more amiable compared to the previous staff member."Can you get me another sales associate please?" Serenity asked. "This person doesn't seem to be that willing to give her services to me, so I don't want to force her to stay with me.""I'm sorry for the bad experience you’ve had in our store," said the store manager before calling over a much younger-looking staff member. Serenity glanced at the nametag on the new sales associate's chest and noticed that she was a junior SA. The young woman was probably a newbie who had just started working here recently. She smiled and then informed the young SA roughly about what she was looking for, what her favorite colors were, and so on, and the young SA then proceeded to look for some suitable dresses for her."Are you going to just let it go?" Lisa asked. "That previous SA didn't even have the most basic professional etiquette!"But it's obvious that she wasn't afraid of any complaints," argued Sere

But now that Serenity had tried the dress on, Gwen knew that it did not matter if Serenity wanted the dress or not, she still could not possibly wear it to the banquet anymore!"Ms. Lewis," Gwen greeted her awkwardly. "What a coincidence. I didn't think I'd find you here.""It is quite a coincidence, isn't it? I was in the fitting room just now, and I wondered what all the noise outside was about. I never thought that it'd be you."Then, Serenity went on to correct Gwen by adding, "Also, shouldn't you be addressing me as Mrs. Valor? Jack has reminded you before, remember?"Gwen gritted her teeth violently. Jack, Jack, Jack! How could she be calling him by such an intimate nickname?! In the past, she was not even allowed to call him "Jackson" and was warned by him to always address him as "Mr. Valor" instead.As if she did not even have the right to call him by his first name!"Mrs. Valor…" Gwen smiled wryly. "It was just a misunderstanding just now. I hope you won't take it to he

“Alright… alright, I understand. Of course I won’t make any purchases that do not reflect my social standing,” said Gwen as she hastily left the store. That night, after coaxing the two little ones to sleep, Serenity returned to her bedroom and started searching for news related to Terry on her phone. Although Jackie was given a nicely decorated room to herself, she still preferred to share a room with Micah.Whenever bedtime came around, she would flop down on Micah’s bed and urge her brother to tell her a story, a scene that Serenity found amusing.Serenity hoped that these two could grow closer, and considering their tender age, she decided to let them sleep together. She wondered if it was a pain for Micah, who seldomly spoke but was forced to tell stories by his talkative sister. Not only did she bug him to tell stories, but whenever she felt he wasn’t speaking with enough emotions, she would insist that he repeat that story several times. Serenity expected Micah to lo

As sinister as those words sounded, Jackson spoke with complete indifference, almost as if it were just a simple matter.“Don’t even bother with those things. I just want you to make her understand that you are mine, and that’s enough. Stop giving her hope. If she has any other ideas and dares to do something out of line, I will deal with her myself,” said Serenity. In any case, like a toothbrush, husbands were never meant to be shared! Jackson raised his eyebrow slightly, “So I’m yours?” The blush that had just faded from Serenity’s cheeks reappeared, but this time, she did not avoid Jackson’s gaze. Instead, she replied earnestly, “Yes, you are mine. You are Serenity Lewis’ husband.” A gentle look surfaced in Jackson’s eyes, something which he hadn’t noticed. He was accustomed to being in control, so when someone uttered such words, it wasn’t uncommon for him to find it disgusting. However, when it came from Serenity, it brought him a sense of happiness and fulfillment that h
