    In fact, when that woman had leaned in closer to him, Jackson even felt a sense of disgust.


    Holding another womanpared to holding a certain someone really did feelpletely different.


    When he arrived at the front of the rental house, he crouched down to retrieve the spare key from


    under the doormat. Serenity always liked to keep it there, saying that she wouldn’t be locked out if she


    forgot her key.

    When he opened the door, the light in the room was still on. A slender figure was sitting by the table,


    and her head was tilted slightly as she slept..


    Jackson studied her sleeping face under the light, her expression as serene as a quiet night. It felt as if


    his heart had also found peace when he saw her.


    He raised his hand to gently brush a strand of stray hair from her cheek. It felt as if even if he looked at


    her for a lifetime, he would never grow tired of it.


    After a few moments, he bent down and carefully lifted her from the chair.


    Even though he had been careful in his motions, Serenity was still startled awake.


    “Jack..” she murmured, and her eyes fluttered open as she blinked dazedly.


    “Yeah, I’m back,” Jackson replied. “I’ll carry you to bed. You can go back to sleep.”


    As he said that, he walked toward the bed.


    Serenity leaned her head against his chest and muttered, “You smell… really good. It smells like…


    perfume? Where did you go?


    “I had something to do today, so I went to a bar. It’s probably where the scent came from,” Jackson


    replied as he ced her gently on the bed. “Now, be a good girl and sleep. I’ll wash off this smell.”


    After hearing his response, Serenity’s eyes slowly slid close again.


    Jackson made sure the nkets were tucked around her properly before he grabbed a change of


    clothes and headed to the bathroom.


    He stood under the water and let it wash away the scent on his body. The scent of this perfume must


    have been from the woman at the club earlier.


    The smell of an expensive perfume couldn’tpare to the scent of the soap in his hands because… it


    wasn’t the same smell


    as hers.


    It was as if Serenity’s fragrance had been imbued in his body.


    Once Jackson had finished his shower, he walked out of the bathroom and looked at the woman asleep


    in bed.


    Bending down slightly, he brought his face closer to her and took a whiff of her scent.


    “Serenity, tell me, when should I let you know who I really am? Should I wait until you’repletely


    reliant on me and can’t leave me anymore, so you’ll stay by my side even if you knew?” Jackson


    murmured softly.


    In the small room, the only thing that could be heard were the sounds of their breathing and their


    heartbeats.
