“Jackie wants to stay, doesn’t she?” Jackson continued, “It’s better to let her get what she wants. I’ll ask Elliot to inform the kindergarten later.” “What about your work?” Serenity asked. “I can communicate via video conference with my staff. It wouldn’t be a problem for a few days. Since the Hope family is aware of it, we should take the opportunity to settle it once and for all. You can return to Solaria earlier too. I don’t want you to stay here all the time.” Serenity was the real reason Jackson wanted to stay. “What if we can’t get things right in these few days? We don’t even know where Summer is!” “We can find out her whereabouts in three days.” Jackson was confident. “It’s impossible. Weston said so.” “Yeah, it’s impossible if the Stantons are the only ones searching. If I work with them, they will definitely be able to locate her within three days unless the Hope family has sent Summer out of Lanford. Every corner of Lanford will be searched in these three day

“I said, get lost!” Wilson’s icy tone and cold gaze made the woman tremble in fear. Wilson got up and was about to leave, but several men surrounded him. “Are you leaving after bullying a woman? You don’t get to leave today if you don’t compensate her,” one of the men said. The woman took the opportunity and walked over to the men pitifully. Wilson instantly knew that they were from the same group. He scoffed disdainfully. “You want money, right? Come and get it if you can.” After saying that, he unbuttoned and took off his blazer and removed his watch. The men and woman greedily eyed his watch which was worth millions. They rushed toward Wilson as they realized that he was wealthy. Although the Birch family was brought low by the financial crisis, they had always been a powerful family except for those difficult years. Wilson had received various martial arts training, and his stamina was way stronger than an average person who knew how to fight. Wilson wasn’t on the

‘How could I live well if my precious feelings for the one I love faded away?’Lucas’s words were right. Although Wilson didn’t feel hurt anymore, he felt empty, almost as if he had lost something important. Clara was resting on the couch when Wilson returned. She hadn’t turned off the lights yet. “Hey, you’re back.” She was startled when she saw Wilson’s bruised face. She quickly moved closer to him to inspect his injuries. “What happened to your face?! Did you drink?” Wilson reeked of alcohol. “Yeah, a little. Why don’t you go to bed first while I wash up,” Wilson said and took a new set of clothes from the closet before stepping into the shower.The warm water that trickled down his body made his wounds sting. ‘Do I regret it?’ Wilson asked himself as he put his hand over his heart. The emptiness in his heart was so vivid. Clara wasn’t asleep yet when Wilson came out from the bathroom. She was still sitting on the couch with a first-aid kit on the coffee table in f

“I’m not in love with you. I’ll pay extra attention in the future,” Clara murmured as she lowered her eyes. Wilson released his grip on her hand. “Don’t do something that will make others misunderstand in the future.” Then, he put the bathrobe back on and left. He felt a familiar sharp pang in his chest when he stood up. It felt the same when Clara had said that she didn't love him. Wilson wondered why it hurt so much as he had forgotten his feelings for her. ‘Why?’He clenched his fist and repeatedly asked himself in his mind. However, he couldn’t get an answer. -Serenity and Jackson brought the three kids out to the famous tourist sites in Lanford since Fred had told Jacqueline that she hadn’t visited quite a lot of places yet.Serenity suddenly noticed that Micah looked like a third-wheeler among her kids. Jacqueline had Fred, and Caden had Cynthia as their childhood sweetheart. “Why are you spacing out?” Jackson asked. They were on a boat, and the kids were lo

“They should be okay with all these bodyguards. Never mind. I’ll call Weston and ask him to take care of the kids,” Jackson said and called Weston on his phone. Serenity was at a loss for words. “I know something about Summer’s whereabouts. Serenity and I are going there to check it out. Please take care of the kids and be their tour guide while we’re gone. You can also take the opportunity to bond with Fred.” After the call ended, Jackson said to Serenity, “Weston should be here when the boat pulls up to the coast.”The kids turned toward them, and Jacqueline was the first to ask, “Where are you guys going?” “We have something very important to do. Uncle Weston will be here soon to take care of you guys. Jackie, Micah, don’t cause any trouble for him. Okay?” Serenity said. “Are you guys going to look for Summer?” Micah suddenly asked. Serenity was surprised, but before she could answer, Micah added, “I want to go with you guys.”“Someone hid Aunt Summer, and we’re going
