She did not notice his body stiffening slightly when she said that
“Do you want to see Jackson Valor?” he asked.
“Not really. He and 1 are simply two worlds apart,” she said, “But speaking of Jackson Valor, his back in a suit looks a bit like yours. I think if you wore a suit, you would look really good too.”
He pursed his lips and kept quiet.
She continued, “Let’s save some money and buy you a suit when spring comes so that you can wear it when you’re looking for a job. Some interviews require you to wear formal clothes.”
“If you see Jackson Valor one day, what would you say to him? he suddenly asked.
Serenity fell into silence. After a while, she said with a wry smile, “I would beg him to leave me alone.
He was stunned. “That’s it?
“Yeah,” she said
“Don’t you want to tell him that you’re innocent? Don’t you want his help to overturn the case?”
“There’s no use. When I was on trial, Lisa went to his company and begged to see him, but he simply refused to see her. In prison, I kept writing letters to him to tell him that his fiancée’s death had nothing to do with me and beg him to stop sending people to torture me, but it did no good,” she said with a bitter smile.
Those memories were painful to her.
Jack’s face was gloomy. Even his eyes seemed darker than usual. No one could tell what he was thinking Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“Well, let’s not talk about these things. It’s all in the past. At least, after I got out of prison, Jackson Valor didn’t try to take revenge on me anymore, or I couldn’t have kept working in the Sanitation Office,” she said.
Jack suddenly took her rough, calloused hands and rubbed them in his palms to warm them.
If he had known, he would not have ignored her. He would not have let her go to prison for a crime she did not commit. He would not have allowed those who tried to please him to torture her in prison.
But even if his identity was ever revealed to her one day, he still could not grant her request.
“I’m sorry,” he mumbled.
“For what?” She did not understand.
“Your hands got so cold because you’re knitting a scarf and a pair of gloves for me,” he said softly. Also… he would never leave
her alone.
He would make it up to her. He would give her the best of everything. He would make her the most enviable woman in the entire Solaria. He would wash away all her stains. However, he would never leave her alone!
Over the next few days, Serenity had a pretty leisurely time. All she did was knit and browse the web. She enjoyed a rare period of peace.
Her foot injury was getting better every day. Every day, Jackson would carry her to the small park in their neighborhood sa that she could get some sun.
Whenever he did, the old people there would look at them curiously.
“Young lady, your boyfriend is carrying you here to get some sun again, huh?” sakd an old woman at the park who liked to
chatter.
