    Chapter 257


    Jackson’s intense gaze was ton direct and scorching, so much so that Serenity looked up at him


    helplessly. “Are you not rating?”


    “I am, but I’ll watch you eat for a while, It’ll make the food taste better,” Jackson said.


    Serenity felt really speechless,pletely lost for words. What did he mean by that? Would watching


    her eat really make the food better?


    “Every time I watch you eat, I find the food tastier,” Jackson murmured.


    “That’s because you’ve never starved before. Serenity mocked indifferently, “If you haven’t eaten for a


    few days, you’ll find even white rice soaked in water delicious”


    His gaze darkened. “Have you starved before?”


    “Yeah, I have,” Serenity answered tly. She used to be living on the verge of life and death. When she


    mentioned it again, her experience seemed to have be something ordinary.


    Jackson pursed his lips. “While in prison?”

    “Veal,” Serenity responded.


    After that, the two never said anything else, and Jackson’s heavy gaze remained on Serenity as she


    ate


    Serenity was wearing her usual cheap clothes. She kept her head down, a few tendrils of hair on her


    cheeks. She had a slender neck and a thin body, and she seemed much slimmer than the photos he


    had collected of her before she went to prison. She had lost a lot of weight and seemed fragile.


    Serenity ate with her head down and took every bite seriously. Her seriousness, however, made him


    feel sour and heavy.


    Jackson had lost count of the countless times he regretted it. After getting to know Serenity, he grew to


    care so much about her. If Jackson had known, he would not have let her suffer so much in prison!


    Jackson would never have sent her to jail with such a charge!


    Jackson kept his head down and ate his meal. However, filled with regret, the food somehow seemed


    tasteless and bitter.


    After the meal, Serenity said, “I’m heading to the restroom.”


    “I’lle with you,” Jackson said.


    Serenity was speechless. Did he have to go to the restroom with her? It somehow reminded her of the


    old days. Girls in elementary and junior high school always loved going to the restroom together. Was


    he seriouslying to the restroom with her?


    Fortunately, when she arrived at the restroom, Jackson stood outside waiting a few meters away from


    the entrance to the


    restroom.


    Serenity let out a sigh of relief. She feared he would speak to the mall management and reserve the


    entire restroom and then go in with her.


    Serenity went into the restroom. When she was done, she came to the sink area to wash her hands.


    Then, a voice suddenly sounded beside l?r, “Hey, isn’t that. Serenity? Are you here to shop ton?


    Serenity looked up and saw her formerw firm colleague, Liliana Granger.


    Back then, they had entered thew firm in the same batch. Serenity and Liliana got along well, and


    Liliana often cared about her and befriended her. However, Liliana had never been warm to her even


    once after she got into trouble.

    It was a little embarrassing for Serenity to meet her former colleague again.


    “I’ve seen the news. Jenny and your ex–boyfriend Zeke visited the sanitation workers at the Sanitation


    Office and even


    brought gifts. I think I saw a photo of you wearing a uniform in the Sanitation Office. Are you working as


    a sanitation worker now?” Liliana said with a look of concer
