Chapter 68
“Jack” Serenity called out to him. She was louder this time and pressed her hands firmly to his face.
A trace of clarity gradually came to his eyes, and his dark pupils regained focus, reflecting her face. However, the look in his eyes seemed inexplicably complicated.
“What’s wrong?” Serenity asked.
“It’s nothing.” Jackson let out a long breath.
“I’m glad you’re fine.” Serenity sighed in relief. “That look you just gave was like…” She thought about it and came up with at description. “You were like fragile glass, and it scared me.”
“Fragile glass?‘ Jackson chuckled softly. A deep coldness and hostility flashed in his eyes and disappeared instantly. Then, he was back to normal. “Sis, no one in this world can break me.”
At that instance, Serenity felt like Jackson was a different person, and she thought she must have seen it wrongly.
“Sis, you’re never going to leave me behind, are you?” he asked, staring at her.
Serenity smiled. “Didn’t we talk about this before? I won’t leave you as long as you stay.”
“Yeah, we did. I forgot,” Jackson murmured.
Jackson opened his arms and grabbed her, embracing her and feeling her presence in his arms.
Serenity had promised not to leave him behind, yet why did he feel so uneasy? Was he scared? Would she leave him after knowing his true identity? Jack could stay by her side, but what about Jackson Valor? Could he?
David Shaw was questioning his son, Zeke, in the living room of the Shaw Residence. “Zeke, Jenny said Jackson sent his secretary to pick you up. Why did he suddenly ask for a private meeting with you?”
David was a little fearful of Jackson. After all, the Shaw family was unlike the Valor family. The Shaw family’s business was now declining. In David’s view, Zeke’s marriage with Jenny was the only way to turn their family business around.
David was afraid of Jackson’s prejudice against them as it might hinder the Shaw family’s marriage with the Hall family.
“It’s nothing,” Zeke said
“You didn’t tell Jenny anything either. Are you going to say nothing to us as well? If there was nothing, why would Jackson send his secretary to pick you up?” David said with displeasure.
Zeke’s mother, Marcia, urged, “Yeah, Zeke. It’s better to be honest with us if there’s something wrong”
Zeke took a deep breath. “It’s really nothing.”
Zeke could not tell them anything. If he did, Jackson would be furious! Zeke still had chills when he thought of his previous meeting with Jackson!
“Does Jackson still have an issue with us? Is he going to act against us?” David simply guessed on his own.
Zeke had to make up an excuse. “It has nothing to do with us. Jackson met me that day and talked about the engagement party.
Hearing that, David and Marcia breathed a sigh of relief and looked better.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Meanwhile, Zele’s younger sister, Joy, was indignant at the conversation. She complained, “Isn’t it all because of Serenity? If it weren’t for her, why would we have so many worries?”
