Jackson suddenly stopped in his tracks and stared fixedly at her
“What’s wrong?” she asked, puzzled.
“What if I say I would?” he asked.
She was stunned, her smile slowly disappearing from her face. She pursed her lips in apprehension
and told him very seriously, “Jack, I hate it when people lie to me. I’ve always felt that sincerity and
honesty are the bare requirements to maintain a long–lasting relationship between two people.”
He kept quiet and continued to stare at her.
“Would you lie to me?” she asked. She was actually becoming really apprehensive. She was afraid that
he would actually say ” yes“, afraid that they would not see eye to eye on this matter,

Thank goodness he wouldn’t lie to her.
“Were you afraid that my answer would be different from what you wanted to h expression.
hear?” he asked as if he could tell from her
“A little bit.” She rubbed her nose in embarrassment. “In any case, I would never lie to you, and you
can’t lie to me too.”
“Okay,” he replied in a soft voice. “But what would you have done if I had said yes?”
He could not help asking. He wanted to know the answer, even if the answer might make him feel even
more afraid.
She bit her lip lightly and pondered, then answered hesitantly, “Maybe I would have broken up with
you.”

ignored it and stayed together for the time being, problems would surely arise in the future. It would be
wiser to end the relationship early before they developed deep feelings for each other.

“We definitely won’t break up!” His cold voice carried a hint of anxiety and a lot of determination. His
arms hugged her so tightly that she had to pasp for air,
Serenity’s face was pressed against Jackson’s chest. Through his shirt, she could hear his heartbeat –
powerful, yet rapid
“Relax, it’s just a hypothetical scenario. It’s not like we’re actually gonna break up…”
“You can even say it hypothetically,” he interrupted her sharply. Her hypothetical assumption made him
nervous, as if it could come true at any moment. Even now, when he was holding her like this, he felt
