Chapter 99
1/1
Serenity had lost count of the number of times she had to explain that Jack was not her boyfriend, but
her younger brother. However, after the old lady found out that they were not related by blood, she
went back to thinking that he was her boyfriend.
“He might not be right now, but he will be in the future. A sibling relationship like yours isn’t real.” That
was what the old lady said.
Therefore, Serenity did not bother to explain anymore.
But whenever the old lady called Jack “the boyfriend“, he would smile and respond.
Jackson put Serenity on a stone bench in the park and said, “It’s colder today than it was yesterday. I’ll
go get you another piece of clothing to put on.”
“Okay,” she replied.

When he came back with the clothes, he saw the neighborhood aunties surrounding Serenity and
telling her something while she blushed profusely and waved her hands repeatedly.
Jackson slowed down. She looked so cute when she was blushing, like a harmless little kitten. It made
him want to tease her.
When the neighborhood aunties saw him coming back, they left smiling and laughing. Some winked at
Serenity, making her
blush even harder.
“What’s wrong?” Jackson asked while draping the clothes he brought on her.
Her dark eyes looked at him in embarrassment. Her cheeks were red and puffy like ripe apples. He felt
like taking a bite.
He looked calm on the surface, but deep down, he was surprised.
It seemed her influence on him was becoming bigger and bigger. With only a blushing face, she made
him.. like her even more.
“They thought you’re my boyfriend,” she said softly.
“So? We’ve always known that,” he said.
“And then they said you’re too pretty.” She got even more embarrassed.
“And?” he urged her to go on.
“And then they taught me the “Eighteen Moves to Tame Your Husband“.” She was too embarrassed to
tell him the details.
“Maybe you can try them on me one day to see how effective they are,” said Jackson
“You too?” Serenity bit her lip.
He could not help swallowing hard.
Just then, Serenity’s phone rang and she picked it up. Her expression changed. She answered in a low
voice.

Year. My grandma wants
to see me.
Her grandmother was the only relative on her mother’s side that made her feel warm. When her father
married her stepmother, he sent Serenity back to her mother’s malden home for a period of time. Her
grandmother took care of her until she was in third grade, after which she returned to the city,
When she was young, she could only go back for a bit during the winter break and summer break, but
after she graduated from high school, she would go back to visit her grandmother whenever she saved
up enough money to buy a bus ticket, up until her accident three years ago… At that time, her
grandmother’s health was already very poor. She was often bedridden.
Serenity’s other relatives cut all ties with her. Whenever she called, they would ruthlessly hang up. This
was the first time in three years someone from her mother’s skle of the family had called ber.
