Chapter 420
“1. understand,” said Clara “I won’t tell her anything.”
She then hesitated and added, “Although I now know that Serenity is your girlfriend, I’ve never had any
idea to use her from the start, and I naturally have no intention to da so now either. I gave her a fob
back then because we both suffered the same fate and used to be in prison, so I felt sorry for her and
wanted to give her a chance so she could stand on her own two feet.”
Hearing this, the iciness in Jackson’s eyes thawed a little
“I won’t meddle in the business between you and Wilson Birch,” he assured her. “All I want is for
Serenity to work here safely and peacefully. If anything happens to her, you can always give me a call.”
After speaking, he gave Clara his phone number. She quickly noted it down. To think that only a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthandful of prople in the whole of Solaria actually had this man’s number, and Clara had actually gotten
it under such bizarre circumstances!
Nevertheless, since Jackson had assured her that he would not barge into the business between her
and Wilson, it must mean that he would not tell Wilson where she was, and this made her sigh with
relief.
Jackson then remained in the restaurant until Serenity returned. He even had dinner with her there.
And so, by the end of the working day, all her colleagues in the restaurant found out that she had an
extraordinarly handsome boyfriend.
None of her colleagues knew that he was Jackson Valor, however, because she only referred to him as
“Jack’, although they did jokingly observe that since her boyfriend seemed to be a wealthy man,
Serenity was likely going to become a rich man’s wife
Serenity merely laughed it off when she heard this.
If her colleagues had known that her boyfriend was Jackson Vallor, would they still say the same thing?
Or would they just think that there was absolutely no way Jackson would ever marry her?
“Your boss seems like a decent woman,” Jackson commented on the way back home.
“She really is a good person.” Serenity agreed. She then seemed to have thought of something
suddenly and added, “By the way, Yanny is going to have the operation tomorrow, so Clare and her
mom are going to stay by his side at the hospital, and the restaurant will be closed for a few days. That
means I won’t be working for the next few days.”
“So, you’re saying that you won’t be delivering my lunch tomorrow?” he asked with raised eyebrows.
Serenity was speechless. Was that all that was on his mind? Still, it suddenly occurred to her that she
had been having lunch with him every day lately.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Perhaps I could make you a packed lunch tomorrow?” she suggested.
As she spoke, she was reminded of when they used to stay in the rental room together. Back then,
whenever she had to work overtime or go home late for some reason, she would always prepare some
food for him before going to work. All he had to do was reheat it, and it would be ready to eat.
She remembered how happy she had been to see him enjoy the food that she cooked herself. After all,
what brought the most Joy to the cook was to see someone savoring the fond they made. Besides, the
dishes she made were very simple, and her cooking skills were not that impressive.
“Okay,” he replied with a smile. “Remember your own woods! 11l be waiting for your lunch tomorrow.”
Since she was the one who had suggested it, it was too late to go back on her own words now, so she
asked him, “What would you like to eat, then?”
“I’m not picky,” he answered. “Anything you make is good to me!
“Not picky… Serenity thought. ‘So in other words, he probably doesn’t have any favorite dishes, then.”
“Okay,” she said, “In that case, I’ll just rustle something up tomorrow.”
Once they reached Valor Residence, Serenity quicldy washed up and changed, but when she got out
of the bathroom, she saw Jackson already sitting on the bed.
