Chapter 25


    Chapter 25


    On the way back, Serenity suddenly asked, “Jack, do you know Zeke Shaw?”


    “The CEO of the Shaw Group?” he asked.


    “So you do know him. Yes, the guy who’s been in the news a lottely and the main character of the


    marriage between the Shaw family and the Hall family. He’s also…” She suddenly stopped. After a


    moment of hesitation, she added, “He’s also my ex-boyfriend.”


    Jackson also stopped in his tracks and stared quietly at Serenity.


    Maybe she had been bottling up her emotions for too long, so she could not help but pour them all out


    now. “Isn’t it unbelievable? Someone like me actually used to be that guy’s girlfriend.”


    She smiled self-deprecatingly. “Back then, I was a newwyer who had just graduated from college. I


    thought we would get married one day. However, after a car ident, I was convicted of involuntary


    manughter with a motor vehicle while driving under influence. He immediately broke up with me


    and even…”


    She stopped. She could not tell him about the nightmare she experienced in prison.


    She could vaguely feel the pain in her fingers again. Even if the nails had grown back and the broken


    bones had mended, her fingers were no longer the same as before!


    “Forget it, it’s nothing. It’s all in the past,” she said in a bitter voice.


    Jackson pursed his lips. Even if she would not tell him the whole story, he already knew. The


    information of her that Connor gave him recorded everything in detail.


    When he first read the information, he felt nothing, but now, hearing it directly from her, he felt a slight


    pain in his heart.


    Was he feeling sorry for what she experienced? Since when would he feel sorry for a woman?


    She took a deep breath and continued, “Ever since then, I’ve always reminded myself to never believe


    in love that easily again. Someone may love you now, but once his interests arepromised, he


    might throw you away like he’s discarding a pawn.”


    “I won’t throw you away,” he suddenly said.


    Serenity smiled. She no longer felt that painful now, as if his words had washed away much of the pain.


    A warmth filled her heart. “I know. I know you won’t throw me away.”


    She paused and added, “That’s why I don’t n to date anyone or get married now. These things are


    out of reach for me.”


    Jack’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he did not like those words.


    “See that advertisement?” she asked while pointing at arge 3D projection on a wall not far away.


    Zeke Shaw bought that advertisement for Jenny Hall. The ad slogan is “I’ve waited 99 lifetimes for a


    lifetime with you.” Isn’t that romantic? It shows that, even if you love someone now, it’s not that hard to


    fall in love with another person in the future.”


    The Shaw family was disying this advertisement in many major shopping malls across Sria to


    promote the uing marriage between the Shaw family and the Hall family. The media had been


    praising the advertisement as being very romantic. Some were even calling Jenny Hall the happiest


    woman in the world.

    It had garnered a lot of attention.


    Jackson stared at the woman in front of him. Her face was expressionless, as if her heart had long


    been numb to emotions and nothing could faze her now.


    For some reason, his heart sank. Then what about him? Could he not Make her feel anything too?


    He covered her eyes to stop her from looking at the ad and said, “If you don’t like the ad, should I take


    it down tomorrow?“
