    He would never tell anyone these things in the past, but at this moment, seeing her standing in front of


    his father’s portrait, be told her so naturally.


    It was as if he could only pour out these words that were buried deep in his heart when he was talking


    to her.


    “My father should have met many women back then. There were bound to be some who were even


    prettier than her, yet he gave up everything for such a woman. He’s a fool,” Jackson murmured.


    “Your father may not necessarily love your mother because she’s beautiful. When you love someone,


    looks may not be that important anymore. Furthermore.. you’ll like everything about them, be it the


    good or the bad,” said Serenity.


    The light in Jackson’s eyes flickered slightly. His eyes were fixed on Serenity’s face. “Maybe it’s as you


    say. When you love someone, looks may not be that important anymore…”


    It was the same for him. He had seen women who were prettier and more considerate than Serenity,


    but only Serenity could make him feel this way.


    He liked the warmth when she cared for him. He liked it when she called him “Jack“. He liked it when


    she held his hand at night as they fell asleep.


    His eyes looked as if they were hinting at something. He enveloped her with his gaze. When he looked


    at her like that, she could not move an inch.

    When the incense burned out, Jackson stood up and burned his mother’s portrait too. He then blow out


    the candles. “Why did you burn your mother’s portrait?” Serenity asked in surprise.


    “I burn this portrait every year,” said Jackson, “Let’s go back.”


    Serenity looked at the time. It was a little past midnight, so it was a new day.


    “Why do you burn that portrait every year?” she asked curiously. Then, as if realizing her mistake, she


    quickly said, “Uhh, you don’t have to answer that. I was just… asking casually.”


    She realized that it was not her ce to ask. She should be trying to stay away from him, but they


    seemed to be getting more and more tangled up now.


    “Because yesterday was her birthday. In the past, my father would always wait for her on that day to


    celebrate her birthday with her. He would wait for her no matter howte it got. I burn her portrait to let


    my father know that, one day, I’ll find her and bring her to his grave.”


    Jackson murmured. That was why he would stare at the portrait of the woman he should be calling his


    mother at this time every year- so that he would not forget what she looked like. He wanted to


    recognize her when he saw her one day.


    “Let’s go,” he said. He took her hand and walled back to the main house.


    Meanwhile, in the security office, the security guards who were keeping watch were all crowding in


    front of the surveince monitors, looking at the two people who were walking out of the mourning hall


    “They’reing out! Oh my god, Miss Lewis is still safe and sound!!


    “Mr. Valor is… holding her hand!


    “She’s the only one who could go in there ande out with him holding her hand. Anyone else would


    have been killed by Mr. Valor!”


    While the security guards were discussing that, the man on the surveince monitor suddenly looked


    up into the camera as if he was looking at the security guards through the screen.


    The security guards immediately fell silent. They did not dare to make a sound.
