    Could that man be the person she loved?


    In the end, he did not ask the question.


    Right now, he was not worthy. Maybe one day, after he found sess, he coulde back and stand


    before her again…


    Peter drove away while Serenity went home to her rental house. Before she even opened the door, she


    already noticed that the light was on


    She clearly turned off the light before she left, so…


    Serenity was surprised. She opened the door and was greeted by the sight of Jackson, who was sitting


    on a chair.


    “You–” She walked in “What are you doing here sote at night?”


    “I’m the one who should be asking you that. I know you don’t have to work overtime tonight, so why are


    you home sote? He raised his brows slightly and scrutinized her.


    “A co-worker quit, so we all went out for a farewell dinner,” said Serenity,


    “Which co-worker?” he asked.


    She hesitated before saying, “Peter Wall.” Even if she did not tell him, he cacld still find out.


    He raised an eyebrow. “Don’t tell me he sent you home again today.”


    Serenity did not say anything, but her silence said it all.

    “You still say you don’t care about him? If you don’t care about him, why would you let him send you

    She subconsciously held her breath under his intense gaze. His gaze seemed to carry a sense of


    oppression. Even her palms


    were sweating.


    She knew that she could not show any concem for Peter Wall If she did, it would be bad for him.


    The more she appeared not to care about Peter Wall, the better.


    He suddenly broke into a smile, and that oppressive feeling vanished.


    “Are you nervous, Sis?” he asked. He gently took her hand and pulled open her fingers that had


    clenched Into a tight fist. Your palms are sweaty.”


    “It’s hard not to be nervous when you’re staring at me like that,” she said as she pulled back her hand.


    She put down her bag. and said, “It’s gettingte. I’m going to bed.”


    In other words, if he had something to say, he should say it now, and if he had nothing to say, he


    should leave.


    “Go ahead,” he said.


    “What about you?”


    “I’m staying.”


    Serenity was astonished. “You’re staying?!” she eximed.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
