    Chapter 409


    What if she’s single? Would she like Lucas then?” Jackson seemed determined to find an an


    answer.


    What… How would I know?! Connor was frantic and had no choice but to answer Jackson seriously. “I


    think Ms. Lewis. She’s quite conservative. She wouldn’t casually fall for someone else.”


    “Is that so? But she was dating Zeke before,” Jackson reminded coldly.


    Connor wanted to cry. He felt the struggle as Jackson’s trustworthy secretary. “Ms. Lewis” rtionship


    with Zeke Shaw is a thing of the past. Zeke has betrayed Ms. Lewis. Naturally, she no longer has any


    feelings for him.”


    “Betrayed?” Jackson raised his brow in surprise.


    “Well, yeah. Zeke broke up with Ms. Lewis when she needed help the most. Isn’t that betrayal?”


    Connor exined, “Knowing Ms. Lewis‘ character, she’s the kind who won’t forgive those who have


    betrayed her.”


    Jackson’s face darkened at Connor’sment, his mouth set in a grim line. What Zeke had done to


    Serenity was considered a betrayal. How about the things he had done to her?


    Jackson felt a wave of emotions at the thought of his past actions. It weighed him down so hard that he


    could barely breathe.


    Jackson moved his hand, wanting to take a sip of water. He grabbed the ss of water in his hand to


    see his hand trembling


    No, not only was his hand trembling, but his whole body,


    He trembled so hard and could barely hold the ss of water. The ss suddenly slipped to the desk,


    spilling water everywhere.


    Connor jolted in shock. Worry clouded his face as a sudden realization came to him.


    Jackson lowered his gaze to the pool of water in front of him. A short moment of silenceter, he


    growled, “Connor. Out! Now!


    “Yes,” Connor responded and left the room in a hurry.


    Jackson took a deep breath and leaned back in his chair as he covered his face with his trembling


    hands, a small smile creeping


    onto his face.


    His chuckde turned into a burst ofughter, and soon, he was choking with emotions.


    If only… Jackson’s decision years ago had put Serenity through hell. If he had known, he would have


    never done it. Serenity might eventually find out one day. What would happen by then? Would she see


    it as a betrayal?


    Jackson trembled harder at the thought of that,


    No. Only a few people knew what had really happened back then. She would never know as long as


    they stayed silent.


    “Forgive me, Serenity,” Jackson whispered, his voiceced with deep pain and regret.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Despite his best efforts, it was toote for him to undo his decision and the pain she had been through


    all these years. If only… He never knew he would love her so much. If he knew, he would never have


    let her suffer!


    It was dark when Serenity returned to the Valor Residence. As she entered the darkness and reached


    for the light switch, a man suddenly hugged her from behind.


    Serenity fell into a familiar embrace and scent that she recognized. She knew who exactly was holding


    her.
