Chapter 373


    Chapter 373


    Once Serenity had put all the groceries in the fridge, she turned around and discovered that jackson


    had been leaning against the kitchen door and staring at her, seemingly with his mind full of thoughts.


    She turned away disconcertedly, trying to evade his eye contact, but as she walked out of the kitchen,


    there was simply no way for her to avoid him. He grabbed her arm and said, “You haven’t said good


    night to me yet.”


    She was startled, but then quickly said, “Good night.”


    He stared at her and suddenly smiled, saying, “Your good night wishes are starting to sound more and


    more forced and hollow, Sis.”


    Serenity’s chest tightened, unable to find the right way to respond to him.


    “Someone suggested,” Jackson said, “that if I want to make you like me, I should try to please you.’


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    He then bent down so that his eyes were on the same level as hers, and he added, “What do you


    think? Would you really like me if I tried to please you?”


    Serenity almost bit her tongue as her eyes widened in disbelief. What did he just say? He wanted to…


    please her?!


    Could such words have reallye out from the lips of a man like him?!


    But her stunned look only seemed to delight him.


    “What’s wrong?” He teased her. “Is it so shocking to hear that I want to please you?”


    All the words she wanted to say seemed to be stuck in her throat without any way to cough them out.


    He raised a hand to gently caress her lips as he continued, “So, now you know how much I want you to


    like me, Sis. What about you? How should I please you so that you’ll finally like me?”


    Her lips suddenly felt like they were burning hot. Her heart was thumping in her chest violently again.


    She never expected Jackson to say things like this to her. Did he really want her to like him that much?


    So much that he was willing to please her?


    And how sincere were feelings for her, anyway?


    Those questions circled her mind, but she kept all of them to herself and did not ask him anything


    At noon on Memorial Day, Jackson came to the hospital by himself and headed straight to his


    grandfather’s private wand.


    “Have you visited your father’s grave?” Zack Valor asked. The man used to be powerful and


    commanding, but now, he was nothing more than a frail old man, wasting away on the hospital bed all


    day.


    “Yes,” Jackson replied, “I have.”


    In the past, he would always visit his father’s grave with his grandpa, but ever since Zack Valor’s health


    had begun to deteriorate, he was no longer able to go with Jackson, so Jackson would visit his father’s


    grave by himself and then visit his grandpa here.


    “How do you think your father would react if he found out that you’re now so enraptured by that


    woman?” Zack Valor snorted coldly. “He’d give you a hard p to try to wake you up!”


    Old Master Zack was, of course, extremely displeased with how he was less and less able to keep his


    grandson under his control.


    Jackson raised his eyebrows and turned to Zack Valor as he asked him, “Are you trying to tell me


    something, Grandpa?”


    Those exquisite eyes of his once again reminded Zack Valor of Jackson’s mother.


    Those eyes looked too much like that cursed woman!

    Had it not been for that woman, his son would never have turned against him! His son would never


    have cut all contact with him and left the family! And most of all, his son would never have ended up


    dead out there on the streets!
