    “I fear getting used to this,” Serenity said, somewhat embarrassed. “If it happens more often, it’ll


    be a habit. When it’s


    Igone, I’ll fall into despair again.”


    “Why? Have you been hopeless before?” Jackson said casually.


    Serenity took a deep breath and stopped avoiding his gaze. “Yes Once.”


    Jackson froze, and his slight smile soon faded from his face.


    “Can you please leave? I want to get changed, Serenity sald, almost pleading.

    Jackson did not back off. His dark eyes remained fixed on her, his fingers stroking her cheeks, and he


    seemed to be lost in his thoughts


    A few momentster, he murmured, “What if I say nothing will change even if it bes a habit? win


    you still be afraid?


    Jackson’s face was so close. Her heart thundered in her chest as she stared nkly at him, not


    knowing how to answer.


    In the meantime, in the changing room, Serenity changed her clothes, blushing Jackson had left the


    room earlier, but even so, the touch of his fingers on her face lingered.


    In the end, she had not answered hisst question What if it became a habit and remained the same


    forever? What did he mean by that? Would he stand up for her all his life?


    A man like him would not bother to tell cheap lles. Jackson must have meant his words, but what about


    the future?


    ‘Who knows what the future holds? He was never hers, to begin with.


    ‘Habits.. I’m better off without it,’ Serenity thought to herself


    Meanwhile Jackson stood by the door outside the changing room. He kept his head down, seemingly in


    deep thought as his bodyguard stood behind him.


    Alerted, the bodyguard looked to the left and saw a figure walking toward them.


    The bodyguard naturally recognized the approaching figure. He was the prince of the entertainment


    industry, Lucas Gomez, and he was a friend of Jackson. The bodyguard did not move and remained


    rocted in ce.


    Lucas walked over to Jackson and asked, “You came here today to help her?”


    Jackson slowly raised his head and looked up at Lucas with a small smile. “Yes, so what? What about


    you? What a coincidence to see you here.”


    “Coincidence? Lucas snorted. When he learned that Jackson was here, he guessed that Serenity was


    also around. Then, he too had rushed over to see what was going on. Sure enough, it was an


    interesting show. He was not nning to share the reason for this. Jackson could probably guess lon.


    “I don’t care whatever reasons brought you here today, whether coincidence or not. But Serenity… You


    mustn’ty your hand on her. She’s mine,” Jackson spoke in azy tone. He seemed nonchnt about


    it, but his eyes were full of seriousness.


    “Do you care about her that much? Lucas asked in reply.


    “I do,” Jackson admitted frankly.


    The bodyguard behind Jackson was shocked by that statement. He had never beard his abmitting


    something like this. “Mr. Valor actually admitted it. He cares about her!’ He then remandons Mr. Valor’s


    fiancee, Mira Hall. He did not seem to have said anything like this back then.


    There was a slight sh of surprise in Lucas ‘s eyes. The two had known each other for years.


    Naturally, Lucas lww how race it


    for Jackson to make such a statement.
