    Chapter 99


    1/1


    Serenity had lost count of the number of times she had to exin that Jack was not her boyfriend, but


    her younger brother. However, after the olddy found out that they were not rted by blood, she


    went back to thinking that he was her boyfriend.


    “He might not be right now, but he will be in the future. A sibling rtionship like yours isn’t real.” That


    was what the olddy said.


    Therefore, Serenity did not bother to exin anymore.


    But whenever the olddy called Jack “the boyfriend“, he would smile and respond.


    Jackson put Serenity on a stone bench in the park and said, “It’s colder today than it was yesterday. I’ll


    go get you another piece of clothing to put on.”


    “Okay,” she replied.


    When he came back with the clothes, he saw the neighborhood aunties surrounding Serenity and


    telling her something while she blushed profusely and waved her hands repeatedly.


    Jackson slowed down. She looked so cute when she was blushing, like a harmless little kitten. It made


    him want to tease her.


    When the neighborhood aunties saw himing back, they left smiling andughing. Some winked at


    Serenity, making her


    blush even harder.


    “What’s wrong?” Jackson asked while draping the clothes he brought on her.


    Her dark eyes looked at him in embarrassment. Her cheeks were red and puffy like ripe apples. He felt


    like taking a bite.


    He looked calm on the surface, but deep down, he was surprised.


    It seemed her influence on him was bing bigger and bigger. With only a blushing face, she made


    him.. like her even more.


    “They thought you’re my boyfriend,” she said softly.

    “So? We’ve always known that,” he said.


    “And then they said you’re too pretty.” She got even more embarrassed.


    “And?” he urged her to go on.


    “And then they taught me the “Eighteen Moves to Tame Your Husband“.” She was too embarrassed to


    tell him the details.


    “Maybe you can try them on me one day to see how effective they are,” said Jackson


    “You too?” Serenity bit her lip.


    He could not help swallowing hard.


    Just then, Serenity’s phone rang and she picked it up. Her expression changed. She answered in a low


    voice.


    After the call, Serenity told Jackson, “I have to go back to my mother’s hometown thising New


    Year. My grandma wants


    to see me.


    Her grandmother was the only rtive on her mother’s side that made her feel warm. When her father


    married her stepmother, he sent Serenity back to her mother’s malden home for a period of time. Her


    grandmother took care of her until she was in third grade, after which she returned to the city,


    When she was young, she could only go back for a bit during the winter break and summer break, but


    after she graduated from high school, she would go back to visit her grandmother whenever she saved


    up enough money to buy a bus ticket, up until her ident three years ago… At that time, her


    grandmother’s health was already very poor. She was often bedridden.


    Serenity’s other rtives cut all ties with her. Whenever she called, they would ruthlessly hang up. This


    was the first time in three years someone from her mother’s skle of the family had called ber.
