    Chapter 474


    “Are you done seeing your grandma?” Jackson asked.


    “She’s still sleeping,” replied Serenity. “I don’t want to disturb her, so I’ll just wait here for now.”


    As she spoke, she saw her cousin, Lte, approaching them with two cups of tea, which were then


    ced in front of her and Jackson.


    Lte then offered, “Have some tea, Serenity!”


    A look of surprise shed in Serenity’s eyes. All her life, whenever she came here, Lte had never


    bothered to offer her any beverages at all.


    “Say, Serenity, why don’t you introduce this gentleman you’ve brought with you to us?”


    It was Aunt Theresa who uttered those words, albeit with a toneced with bitterness.


    “This is Jack,” said Serenity. “He’s my boyfriend.”


    Serenity was careful not to reveal Jackson’s full name for fear that her rtives would cause trouble if


    they found out who he really was. All she wanted now was for her grandmother to live in peace as she


    neared the end of her life.

    “Boyfriend?!” Lte eximed in surprise. “Impossible!”


    Lte’s tone suggested that she regarded what she had just heard from Serenity as nothing more


    than a joke,


    Jackson narrowed his eyes and scowled menacingly at Lte. She immediately felt like she had been


    thrown into a freezer- it gave her a chill so unbearably cold that she could feel it in her bones.


    “What’s so impossible about it?” Jackson asked casually


    Lte smiled awkwardly and replied, “N–Nothing… I just never thought that after having been in


    prison, Serenity would manage to find a boyfriend so soon after she was released. It just seemed… so


    quick to me.”


    Those words concealed a sinister intention, of course. Lte was deliberately trying to bring up the


    fact that Serenity used to be in prison. After all, she firmly believed that Serenity must have hidden the


    truth from this man, and that was probably the only reason why he had agreed to be her boyfriend.


    Still, Serenity naturally saw through Lte’s ruse. How could she not? Nevertheless, she realized that


    this was probably the first time she felt no embarrassment at all after being exposed for having been in


    prison.


    Perhaps it was because the man beside hier was Jackson and he knew everything about her anyway.


    The look Jackson gave Lte turned even more menacing. Even his face was covered with a thin veil


    of rage. But all this disappeared within a few seconds, and his lips curled into a smile before he


    answered, “So what? I wished for nothing more than for Serenity to be my girlfriend. In fact, I was in


    total bliss for a few days after she agreed to date ineTM


    He actually meant each of those words sincerely. When Serenity had finally agreed to be his girlfriend,


    he really was happier than be had been in ages! He finally realized how happy a man could be when


    they finally got the treasure that they had been dreaming of


    Lte was dumbfounded. So, Jackson not only knew that Serenity used to be in prison, but he even


    felt that being her boyfriend was… what he wished for the most!


    How could anyone feel that way about a woman who had been in prison?!


    But even if Lte felt that way, she dared not voice her thights at the moment because although this


    man called Jack was smiling at her, the look he gave her was actually so frighteningly cold that she


    was beginning to pet restless.
