    Chapter 678


    Serenity continued patting him gently to sleep. She whispered to him softly, “Don’t be afraid, now. No


    more nightmares, I’m right here.”


    Jackson was taken aback. Was she really going to treat him like a baby?


    1. k. Was she reall


    Despite what he felt, the lingering fear in his heart started to melt away with each pat. Like a luby, her


    gentle voice brought back the drowsiness.


    It seemed that with her next to him, he had nothing to fear….


    When he least expected it, Jackson was knocked out cold.


    Serenity stopped when she heard the steady rhythm of his breathing “Jack?” she called out gently.


    No response. He was fast asleep.


    Only then did she let out a sigh of relief. It was only when he had fallen asleep did the knot between his


    brows went away. The peaceful expression on his face reminded her of an angel.


    At this moment, he was the pr opposite of how people perceived him outside.


    Or perhaps, he only appeared like an angel to her.


    As for the dream she had had about the little boy and the little girl, before she could figure out the truth,


    she would keep it a secret to avoid arousing his suspicion.


    At the very least, she had to find out whether this dream came from listening to her cousin’s story, or


    was it because of something else?!


    It didn’t take long for the media to start covering Lte’s supposed rtionship with Lucas,


    Thanks to his influence, no media outlet dared to dig too deep into her background. Even if they found


    something newsworthy, they knew better than to report it.


    Of course, that didn’t stop the masses from specting that she was his new girlfriend.


    There were also many who thought otherwise for a few reasons. Firstly, Lucas had never


    acknowledged her as his romantic partner, choosing to refer to her as only his friend. Secondly, she


    was much less attractivepared to the girlfriends he had had in the past.

    While she looked passable after dressing up, this was primarily thanks to the makeup artist.


    For a while, theories started popping up like mushrooms after the rain.


    This only ced more pressure on Lte. She hoped to be Lucas” girlfriend, but since she had


    just gone through a divorce, she couldn’t move too quickly to avoid tarnishing his impression of her.


    And so, she casually mentioned to him over a meal, “By the way, have you seen the newstely? I’m


    surprised so many people are asking if I’m your girlfriend or not.”


    “I’m sorry if it’s causing you trouble. I’ll rify our rtionship with the journalists again,” replied


    “No, I don’t find it troubling at all,” said Lte hastily. “I’m single right now, and no one’s pursuing me


    at the moment, so I’m not particrly bothered by it. It’s just…”


    She bit her lip liesitantly. “I saw thements online saying you change partners every year and that


    you’re always finding a substitute. They even said… that I was just another substitute. Could you


    exla what’s going on?”


    Lucas stared at her face nkly.
