    “……Da mn that gossipmonger.


    “Why don’t you bring her along the next time we go out? Let us see what she looks like,” suggested


    Caleb.


    In their social circle, Jackson had always been known as someone who was uninterested in women.


    He even treated Mira Hall rather coldly, and she was his fiance. But this time, he actually rushed to a


    faraway town to save a woman in the middle of the night.


    Caleb was shocked when he heard it: He immediately called Jackson to ask him about it.


    But Caleb’s curiosity made Jackson a little unhappy. He did not want other men to be curious about


    Serenity. He did not want her to meet those people. He even wished he could keep her in a ce


    where only he could see her.


    If he let Caleb and the others meet her and she ended up falling for one of them…


    Jackson naturally knew those people were very popr with women, especially Lucas Gomez. It felt


    like any woman Lucas had his eyes on would end up bing his girlfriend. Those women would still


    go out with him even though they knew that the shelf life of their rtionship would be very short


    If Lucas took a liking to Serenity….


    The idea annoyed Jackson very much.


    Others might think that Jackson could have any woman he wanted because he was Jackson Valor,


    but… that name was precisely his biggest taboo with Serenity.


    “She’s just a normal woman. There’s nothing to see,” he remarked indifferently.


    “Ah, but this woman is different. You actually dumped your grandfather for this woman,” said Caleb,


    “Tsk. tsk, I’ve never seen you care so much about a woman before. Are you hiding her because you’re


    actually in love with her?


    That annoyed Jackson even further. All he could think of was that pretty face. An uneasy feeling rose in


    his heart.


    When had he ever worried about a woman falling for another man before? Was he really in love with


    Serenity? No, no way, he just enjoyed spending time with her, that’s all.


    He swore that he would never fall in love with any y woman!


    “There’s nothing different about her. It’s all just a game. I’m bored, so I’m doing this to pass the time.


    There’s nothing to be curious about,” he said, seemingly nonchntly.


    The next moment, he heard a crisp ng of something dropping to the ground behind him.


    He instantly froze. When he turned around and saw the person standing behind him, fear gripped his


    heart and quickly spread to his whole body.


    How long… had she been there? How much did she hear?!.


    How many years had it been since he had felt so afraid? Yes, right now, facing her, he was afraid. He


    felt. as if something that he had been holding firmly in his grasp was about to slip away.


    “Jackson…” Caleb was still talking on the other end of the phone, Jackson hung up without a word.


    Silence filled the air between Serenity and Jackson. They remained still until Jackson’s cigarette his


    fingers and he had to put it out.

    “Are you… Jackson Valor?” To Serenity, the voice that asked this question seemed to belong to


    someone else. There was no anger, no resentment, no tears in the voice, only calmness.


    For some reason, her chaotic mind calmed down when she heard him say that it was all just a game to


    him and he was only doing it to pass the time because he was bored.


    Well, there’s her answer.


    Otherwise, why would someone like Jackson Valor stay with her for two months in a rental house as
