    Besides, Jackson was the Valor family’s head. It was only natural for him to have heirs to inherit the


    family.


    Would the Valor family lineage end because of her? She had been naive before and had even forgotten


    to consider this matter when impulsively getting into a rtionship with him.


    But how long could such a rtionship Last?


    Even in the cases she had dealt with before, in such a prestigious family, the existence of heirs was


    even more important than in ordinary households.


    “What do you mean? What happened to your body?” Jackson furrowed his brows and stared at her.


    She lowered her head, her gaze falling on her t abdomen. “Once… I was beaten, and my uterus


    ruptured. Although I managed to escape with my life in the end, the doctor also said that the injury was


    severe and I might not be able to conceive in the future.”


    To speak of these things was difficult for her, even somewhat unbearable. It was a sorrowful matter that


    she had buried deep within her heart.


    A shadow crossed Jackson’s eyes.


    Serenity had been beaten? When had that happened? Was it during her time in prison? And how much


    pain must she have endured at that time?!


    He trembled unnoticeably out of the blue. The suffering she had experienced became an unbearable


    burden pressing on his heart that threatened to suffocate him.


    The guilt weighing on him was as much as the damage Serenity had suffered.


    If only he had shown her a hint of mercy back then, then others wouldn’t have been able to harm her so


    easily.


    “If… If you want to break up now, then…”


    she spoke softly, but he interrupted her before she could finish her sentence ember saying that


    breaking up is not even

    something to consider.”


    “I


    As his words fell, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms.


    Serenity eximed in surprise. She looked up without much thought and unintentionally met his dark


    eyes.


    “I want you, and I love you. It doesn’t matter if we have children or not. Even if I never have children in


    this lifetime, I won’t let you go.” He pressed his forehead against hers, his voice cold but unwavering.


    “So, remember these words of mine. Since you’ve already fallen for me, love me for this entire lifetime!”


    Serenity was utterly stunned. His scent was everywhere, and his voice echoed in her ears.


    Did he know the impact of his words on her? What he said… It didn’t matter if they didn’t have


    children? Was he serious?


    And as if he had read her thoughts, he murmured softly, “I’m serious. I’ve never considered children to


    be important. Besides, I wouldn’t even consider having children with anyone else if it weren’t for you.”


    While he was indifferent about children previously, he would have chosen a woman who was qualified


    enough to be the mistress of the Valor family and have an heir with her if the old man had demanded it.


    However, he would have done it just to avoid conflicts with the old man over such trivial matters.


    Yes, marriage and having children, which were significant in the eyes of others, were merely small


    matters to him.
