    “Are you saying that I scare you?” he asked.


    She hesitated slightly before replying, “I know that you’re just treating me as an object in a game. You


    still maintain interest in me because the novelty hasn’t wom off, but once your interest fades, I’ll


    be worthless to you. If I identally piss you off, I might end up getting tormented again like I did


    back in prison.”


    She never wanted to go through that kind of miserable experience again!


    “Surely saying all these things to me wouldn’t piss me off, right?” he questioned.


    Her body stiffened. Of course she was afraid that it would, but she still chose to say them.


    Her reaction told him everything he needed to know.


    Silence enclosed around them. It was a scary silence.


    Serenity lowered her head. The only thing she could hear right now was her own breathing and


    heartbeat. Jackson did not say anything, but she could feel his eyes on her.


    She had no idea how much time had passed when she finally heard him say, “What if I tell you that I


    don’t see you as an object In a game? Would you be willing to stay by my side?”


    Her head jerked up. She looked at him, stunned. She did not expect him to say something like that.

    “Would you?” He looked at her with passionate eyes.


    She let out a bitterugh. “What would I do by your side? Keep being your sister? Or do you want me


    to be your ymate? Whichever it is, I’m afraid I’m not up to the task.”


    His thin lips pursed into a straight line and his eyes gradually turned cold. The word “wife” got stuck in


    his throat; he could


    not utter it.


    If she asked him to marry her, he would do it, but he, Jackson Valor, would never beg any woman to


    be his wife!


    He suddenly gave her a gentle smile. He lowered his body slowly and caressed her face gently. “In that


    case, let’s keep this up. Let’s see which one of us has more patience. Let’s see if I’ll give up trying to


    make you stay by my side first or if you’ll beg to stay by my side first”


    Serenity’s breathing became a little heavier. Her body trembled slightly because of how close he was


    He was always so unpredictable. A second ago, he was still mad, but a secondter, he looked like he


    already got over it


    Jackson walked over to the table, pulled out a chair and sat dowIL


    Serenity heaved a sigh of relief. She realized that her back and palms were sweating,


    Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of him casually picking up her phone out of the corner of her eye. She


    bolted forward to try and snatch it back from him.


    But it was toote. He had already seen the content on the screen.


    Jackson raised his eyebrows and looked at Serenity with a weird smile. “Why did you search for my


    news online? If you wanted. to know something, you could have just called me. You don’t have to look


    me up on the inte.”


    She had no reply. What could she say? That she came across a live stream by nce and got curious


    so she searched for the rted content?


    “The banquet has only just begun. Is it really okay for you to be liere?” She could only try to change the


    tople.


    “It’s just a banquet,” he said indifferently. There were quite a few of these banquets every year,


    Sometimes, he would not even bother attending them.


    “You haven’t finished your dinner yet, have you? Go on. Don’t mind me,” he said after taking a nce


    at her half–finished meal.
