Jackson stopped in his tracks, his face turning somber. Connor stood beside Jackson, trembling with fear. He wished he could shut Lisa's mouth.Lately, Serenity's name had become a taboo in the Valor Group! Lisa Quest was so fearless and even mentioned Serenity's name loudly. Connor was afraid that Jackson might have a sudden outburst!The air around them suddenly turned colder. Standing next to Jackson, Connor felt a shiver run down his spine!Feeling satisfied, Lisa held Terry's arm and left after she was done talking. Lisa's petty behavior amused Terry. He knew spiteful people and women were the hardest to deal with. Lisa was one of them. His girlfriend was indeed a spiteful woman!Before leaving, Terry glanced over his shoulder at Jackson. Did Jackson stop loving Serenity? Did he get bored of her? He did not want to continue the relationship with Serenity, so he broke up with her.Terry had his doubts about that. He had seen Jackson and Serenity together before. Serenity had

"Yeah," Serenity responded."Hmm… What about your brother?" Peter asked.Serenity visibly stiffened at the mention of her brother. Jack used to be very close to her, but he seemed too far away after what had happened later."H-He went back home. I only took him in for a while," Serenity said softly. She returned to her seat and ate her unfinished meal.Peter looked at Serenity blankly. Serenity's brother had seemed to want Serenity all to himself before. 'Is he no longer with her? Is Serenity all alone now? Does that mean…' Peter wondered if he finally had a chance to pursue her. His determination only grew stronger.The two of them never noticed a black car parked not far outside the restaurant. The man in the car was staring at the two of them through the window.Connor was terrified. He glanced at Mr. Valor fearfully. Then, he shifted his gaze at Serenity and the man named Peter Wall in the restaurant.Mr. Valor had ordered him to drive over after learning Serenity's current

"I-I really like you. I know I'm not good enough. I can't give you a luxurious life, but we can have a good and steady life together. I'll do everything I can to keep you safe. You said we can't develop a relationship, but you never gave it a try. How would you know?" Peter was stammering, so anxious yet so earnest.Serenity's nose felt a bit sour. She never knew Peter liked her this much. Not only that, he always respected her no matter how miserable she was.Serenity did not push Peter away. They shared a warm hug, so heartwarming she hoped Peter would meet a woman who truly loved him one day!"Peter, thank you. Even if you hold me like this now, I still don't feel a thing. Do you think there's any point in trying?" Serenity said, listening to Peter's silent breathing. His silence was the best reply.***In a black car parked not far away, a man inside was looking at Serenity. When he saw Serenity and Peter hugging, his hands that were resting on his legs clenched into fists.*

The next morning, Serenity woke up from the alarm on her phone. She felt a little drowsy, and her neck felt sore. She raised her hand to rub her neck, trying to ease the soreness. Then, she abruptly remembered something and froze. Serenity looked around her room. Everything seemed to be the same as usual. She was still in her pajamas. There was nothing strange.She remembered someone kissing her in her sleep last night, and then she had passed out! She had not seen who it was, but it felt like Jack!There seemed to be nothing abnormal. Was the kiss just a dream of hers? Maybe deep down in her heart, she had not forgotten him yet. Did she dream of him because of that? Her expression dimmed at the thought. Then, she pulled the blanket and got out of bed.Serenity wondered when she would ever forget him. She had thought she could finally have a family with him before, but it had been nothing but a dream. She had to forget him to start over again.Serenity went to the bathroom, grabb

Yanny immediately jumped into Serenity's arm affectionately."By the way, do you want to go to the amusement park this Sunday?" Serenity asked Yanny.Yanny's eyes sparkled, and he nodded gently."Why don't I take Yanny to the amusement park this weekend?" Serenity offered."Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?" Clara said."Not at all. I look forward to spending a day at the amusement park with Yanny!" Serenity said. Besides, Clara was moving to Georgia soon. Once they moved, it would be harder for Serenity to meet Yanny."You have to go to the hospital for the follow-up visits on the weekend, don't you? You can go with Mrs. Wells, and I'll take Yanny to the amusement park," Serenity said."Well… I'm sorry to trouble you," Clara said in embarrassment."It's no big deal at all," Serenity said to Clara and turned to Yanny, who was in her arms. "Isn't that right, Yanny?" In return, the little one gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek.Clara smiled, looking at her son in Sereni
