    Jackson’s pitch ck hair contrasted its fair skin. From her position, she could clearly see his beautiful


    neck, his shapely ear, and the side profile of his face.


    Everything about him was maic as she couldn’t look away from him. At that moment, she felt even


    his ear was much better looking than any other person’s.


    When he straightened his back and turned to face her, Serenity felt her heart hammering against her


    chest.


    His gaze under the moonlight was gentle. His lips opened and closed, creating sounds that tugged at


    her heartstrings as if they were a magical harp.


    At that moment, Serenity felt her surroundings fade away, making him the only existing being in her


    world.


    Then, she watched as his face inched closer. His facial features were wless as if they were sculpted


    by God’s own hands.


    “What’s the matter?” his voice sounded.


    Serenity snapped out of her reverie and realized she had fallen into a trance from stating at him.


    “It’s it’s nothing,” replied Serenity.


    “If that’s the case, let’s head back. If you wish to see your mother, we cane here any time. Even if


    your father finds our that she’s buried here, he won’t be able to move her grave,” assured Jackson


    While speaking, he extended his hand toward her.


    She looked at his outstretched hand in a daze. After a moment’s hesitation, she ced her hand in his.


    “Thank you,” said Serenity.


    This was the second time she had thanked him tonight. The first time was after he helped her locate


    her mother’s um. This time, she was thanking him forying her mother’s remains to rest


    “If you really want to thank me, maybe you can start lng me more,


    teased Jackson,


    Serenity was lost for words as she blushed shyly. With her head lowered, she followed him out of the


    cemetery.


    After they got into their vehicle, Serenity gazed at the cemetery that was receding into the distance.


    The weight that bore down on her shoulders had finally slid off.


    From today onward, her mother would be resting here for good. No more would she have to worry


    about her father moving her grave.


    All this was thanks to Jackson.


    Although she repeatedly stated that she wanted to maintain a strict boundary between them to avoid


    getting entangled any further, Jackson was still the person who stepped in and solved her problem.


    He said she should like him more.


    But how much of her feelings for him was true? Also…could she really ovee the fear that gued


    her heart? Could she look past the suffering that he put her through for three whole years and start


    lilding him?

    Sermity unwittingly peered at Jackson, who sat next to her.


    “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?” asked Jackson with a raised brow


    “No. It’s nothing,” answered Serenity with a stutter. Warnever he looked at her like that, her heart would


    inevitably start racing.


    She subconsciously avoided his gaze.


    “Are you sure?” he asked, Jackson leaned over and lifted her n with his slender fingers, forcing her


    to make eye contact with him. “Despite what you said, I could sense the conflict in emotions in your


    gaze. Is there anything about me that’s


    making you feel that way?”
