    Chapter 605


    “Jack Jack…”


    ‘It’s her. She’s calling for me again… But why does it sound like a choked sob? Is she crying?”


    Jackson’s mind finally focused again, his eyes meeting Serenity’s tear–stained face.


    “Serenity? Is she crying?! Did I hurt her?!‘


    Yes. Serenity was suffering because Jackson had almost lost his mind.


    Seeing the tears on her face and the fear in her eyes made his heart ache terribly. It was the deepest


    blow to him.


    What had he… Was Serenity afraid of him?


    Jackson had lost the sanity he had always prided himself on because of what had happened between


    Serenity and Lucas!


    “Are you… Afraid of me?” Jackson murmured, his voice hoarse. All he wanted was to see her smile!


    Seeing how her smile lit up her face and calling him ‘Jack‘ in her soft voice made him feel alive.


    Perhaps thest thing he wanted to see was her fear. However, he had unintentionally scared her this


    time.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Serenity trembled slightly. Afraid of him? Yes, a little. No matter how hard she had resisted earlier, it


    seemed useless. Jackson. seemed like apletely different man.


    The quiet menace emanating from him hurt her like the cold night wind. Even so, his quiet murmur of


    the question made Serenity feel as if he was the one in fear, not her.


    Jackson clearly had the advantage in the current situation. Despite that, he seemed fragile, like a ss


    full of cracks. Just the smallest force would shatter himpletely.


    A suffocating silence loomed inside the car. Their eyes locked, the sound of their heartbeats the only


    other sound other than their breathing


    Serenity’s face was still wet with tears as shey on the seat in a mess. “Jack, I’m not afraid of you I’m


    just scared because no matter how much I yelled, it was like you couldn’t hear me just now,” Serenity


    said, her voice almost choking.


    For some reason, she had a feeling that her answer was of great importance to him. It might even


    shatter him.


    What gave that feeling? Jackson was the fearful Mr. Valor, a powerful man in Sria. He had always


    been the one who would


    crush others.


    Or was it because of the vulnerability he showed? She could not resist wanting to protect him and save


    him. Although in this situation, she was obviously the one who needed saving!


    Taking a deep breath, Serenity continued, “Jack, I don’t want this. It’s not that I don’t love you enough


    or I don’t want your love as much as I should. I just find it a little ufortable. If…” She paused,


    trembling slightly. It was as if she was trying to suppress the fear in her heart.
