Chapter 476


    Chapter 476


    A sh of humiliation struck Lte’s face. Those words Jackson spoke were like a hard p on her


    cheek!


    When Aunt Theresa saw this, she was visibly annoyed andined to Serenity, “Say, Serenity, your


    cousin was clearly trying to be friendly just now! Why does your boyfriend have to be so arrogant?!


    He’s our guest here yet he expects us to treat him like a prince?


    “My boyfriend is a bit shy with strangers,” Serenity replied nonchntly, “so he tends to maintain a


    distance from the people he’s not very familiar with.”


    Both Theresa and Lte almost choked on their own saliva


    Shy?! That man was obviously not shy!


    But every time that man swept his ncezily over them, their hearts started to beat violently, almost


    as if they could not help but be tombed of his gaze.


    Theresa forced a smile and said nothing more, but Lte persisted and went on to ask Serenity and


    Jackson when they had met each other and how they had begun dating each other. She was doing


    everything she could to figure out Jackson’s background, his jab, his family, and so on.


    But of course, all these attempts were dismissed vaguely by Serenity.


    In the end, even after trying to interrogate them for ages, Lte still obtained no concrete information


    about the man. Still, seeing that Jackson was right there, she could notse her temper, so she could


    only force herself to smile and asked, “What kind of job are you doing right now, Serenity?”


    “I’m a delivery rider for a small restaurant,” Serenity answered proudly and without a single trace of


    embarrassment for her current upation.


    Lte, however, pricked her ears up. Hearing this made her think that Serenity must have fallen from


    grace and hit rock bottom. After all, she used to be awyer, a respected intellectual who was envied


    by everyone, but now, she was nothing but a humble delivery worker, which was not any better than


    her previous job as a street sweeper whatsoever.


    “Didn’t your boyfriend… I mean, didn’t Mr. Jack find you a better job!”


    As Lte asked the question, she nced at the man beside Serenity, who was yfully teasing


    Serenity’s fingers.


    Jackson’s fingers were long, slender, and fair. It was an enviably beautiful pair of hands, and now,


    these hands were lightly touching, squeezing, and pinching Serenity’s fingers. His gestures were both


    gentle and affectionate to the point that Lte was almost burning with jealousy, wishing that it was


    her hands Jackson was ying with instead!


    “I like my current job just fine,” Serenity replied.


    The truth was that ra and everyone else in the restaurant had been treating her very well, and more


    than that, she was particrly d to have met the little boy, Yanny. He was always very nice to her. In


    fact, not only would he smile at her whenever he saw her, but he would even nin to her and hug her


    very affectionately.


    ve to protect


    Because of Yanny’s hearing problems, Serenity always felt particrly sorry for the kid, and it gave her


    the urge him and take good care of him.


    Yes, she liked her current working environment very much indeed. At the very least, no one in the


    restaurant ever discriminated against her or treated her wst because she used to be in prison


    disdain


    But when Lte heard this reply, she quickly concluded that it must be because this guy called fack


    must not be all that impressive, after all. No decent boyfriend would let his girlfriend do such a menial


    job as a delivery worker, right?


    Perhaps all this guy had was good looks.

    Just then, Serenity’s grandmother woke up, so she instantly rushed into her room.


    Aunt Theresa helped Grandma to sit up in bed, and a smile bloomed upon thetter’s face as soon as


    she saw Serenity


    2/2


    “Oh, Serenity! You’re here! Come here! Come closer to me! I want to take a good look at my


    granddaughter.”


    Serenity’s eyes reddened as she walked up to her grandmother’s bed. She wanted to say something,


    but as soon as she saw the old woman, her nose stung, and she was on the verge of tears. She was all


    choked up and unable to say anything


    Grandma lifted a hand and gently stroked Serenity’s hair, saying, “Look at you, you silly girl. You’re


    going to cry again, aren’t you? What’s the matter? Did someone bully you?”
