    Chapter 444


    Jackson suddenly stopped in his tracks and stared fixedly at her


    “What’s wrong?” she asked, puzzled.


    “What if I say I would?” he asked.


    She was stunned, her smile slowly disappearing from her face. She pursed her lips in apprehension


    and told him very seriously, “Jack, I hate it when people lie to me. I’ve always felt that sincerity and


    honesty are the bare requirements to maintain a longsting rtionship between two people.”


    He kept quiet and continued to stare at her.


    “Would you lie to me?” she asked. She was actually bing really apprehensive. She was afraid that


    he would actually say ” yes“, afraid that they would not see eye to eye on this matter,


    If they could not even agree on something like this, how could their rtionshipst?


    He clenched his hands almost imperceptibly, then slowly said, “No.”

    When she heard that, she felt like a heavy stone was lifted from her heart. She heaved a sigh of relief


    Thank goodness he wouldn’t lie to her.


    “Were you afraid that my answer would be different from what you wanted to h expression.


    hear?” he asked as if he could tell from her


    “A little bit.” She rubbed her nose in embarrassment. “In any case, I would never lie to you, and you


    can’t lie to me too.”


    “Okay,” he replied in a soft voice. “But what would you have done if I had said yes?”


    He could not help asking. He wanted to know the answer, even if the answer might make him feel even


    more afraid.


    She bit her lip lightly and pondered, then answered hesitantly, “Maybe I would have broken up with


    you.”


    After all, if they could not see eye to eye, it would be difficult to maintain the rtionship. Even If they


    ignored it and stayed together for the time being, problems would surely arise in the future. It would be


    wiser to end the rtionship early before they developed deep feelings for each other.


    Having experienced bring lied to once, she did not want to experience it a second time. Years ago,


    Zeke Shaw told her that he loved her and would protect her. When she got into the car ident, Zeke


    Shaw also said that he would hire the bestwyer for


    her.


    But when she was in custody, he told her he wanted to break up with her instead!


    The man who oner told her that he loved her simply stood by and watched indifferently as her hand got


    destroyed!


    He even told her that allowing her to be his girlfriend was the biggest regret in his life. Hepletely


    forgot that he once said


    he loved her!


    The thing that she lost that day, was it love or was it her trust in other people?


    If it wasn’t for Lisa, maybe she would never trust anyone else again for the rest of her life.


    As soon as she said that, he hugged her.

    “We definitely won’t break up!” His cold voice carried a hint of anxiety and a lot of determination. His


    arms hugged her so tightly that she had to pasp for air,


    Serenity’s face was pressed against Jackson’s chest. Through his shirt, she could hear his heartbeat –


    powerful, yet rapid


    “Rx, it’s just a hypothetical scenario. It’s not like we’re actually gonna break up…”


    “You can even say it hypothetically,” he interrupted her sharply. Her hypothetical assumption made him


    nervous, as if it coulde true at any moment. Even now, when he was holding her like this, he felt


    like he could notpletely hold her.

    “Jack.N–Not so tight. I need to breathe..” Serenity had to remind him.
