What if she’s single? Would she like Lucas then?” Jackson seemed determined to find an an
answer.
What… How would I know?! Connor was frantic and had no choice but to answer Jackson seriously. “I
think Ms. Lewis. She’s quite conservative. She wouldn’t casually fall for someone else.”
“Is that so? But she was dating Zeke before,” Jackson reminded coldly.
Connor wanted to cry. He felt the struggle as Jackson’s trustworthy secretary. “Ms. Lewis” relationship
with Zeke Shaw is a thing of the past. Zeke has betrayed Ms. Lewis. Naturally, she no longer has any
feelings for him.”
“Betrayed?” Jackson raised his brow in surprise.

Connor explained, “Knowing Ms. Lewis‘ character, she’s the kind who won’t forgive those who have
betrayed her.”
Jackson’s face darkened at Connor’s comment, his mouth set in a grim line. What Zeke had done to
Serenity was considered a betrayal. How about the things he had done to her?
Jackson felt a wave of emotions at the thought of his past actions. It weighed him down so hard that he
could barely breathe.
Jackson moved his hand, wanting to take a sip of water. He grabbed the glass of water in his hand to
see his hand trembling
No, not only was his hand trembling, but his whole body,
He trembled so hard and could barely hold the glass of water. The glass suddenly slipped to the desk,
spilling water everywhere.
Connor jolted in shock. Worry clouded his face as a sudden realization came to him.
Jackson lowered his gaze to the pool of water in front of him. A short moment of silence later, he
growled, “Connor. Out! Now!
“Yes,” Connor responded and left the room in a hurry.
Jackson took a deep breath and leaned back in his chair as he covered his face with his trembling
hands, a small smile creeping
onto his face.
His chuckde turned into a burst of laughter, and soon, he was choking with emotions.
If only… Jackson’s decision years ago had put Serenity through hell. If he had known, he would have
never done it. Serenity might eventually find out one day. What would happen by then? Would she see

Jackson trembled harder at the thought of that,
No. Only a few people knew what had really happened back then. She would never know as long as
they stayed silent.
“Forgive me, Serenity,” Jackson whispered, his voice laced with deep pain and regret.
Despite his best efforts, it was too late for him to undo his decision and the pain she had been through
all these years. If only… He never knew he would love her so much. If he knew, he would never have
let her suffer!
It was dark when Serenity returned to the Valor Residence. As she entered the darkness and reached
for the light switch, a man suddenly hugged her from behind.
Serenity fell into a familiar embrace and scent that she recognized. She knew who exactly was holding
her.
