NovelOnlineChapter 426
After a while, Jackson was finally done trimming Serenity’s nails under her instruction and guidance.
The first thing she felt was exhaustion. It would have been much simpler and easier if she could have
just trimmed her nails herself. Still, it looked like Jackson was having fun trimming her nails. Once he
was done with one finger, he began scrutinizing the rest of her fingernails and started to trim all of them
too.
He even seemed disappointed when he was done, almost as if he wished it was not over so soon.
“When your nails get longer again,” he told her, “let me help you trim them again, okay?”
Serenity was left speechless and unable to react.
Because it was still noon, it would have been too early to go to the hospital to visit Yanny now, so
Jackson returned to his desk and settled the remaining work he had for the day while Serenity picked
up her phone and began scrolling through the news.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, a trending headline caught her eye. It was an article about her sister, Aria Lewis, which
touted her as being successful both in her love life and career. It even mentioned that Aria had
confirmed that she would be attending the upcoming dinner gala in Solaria with her boyfriend, Lucas
Gomez. This dinner gala would be attended by all the elites as well as the upper crust of the Solarian
society.
With this news article alone, Aria was able to silence all the rumors about her possible breakup with
Lucas as it proved that their relationship was still going strong.
The article was also accompanied by several pictures of Aria posing as a model in endorsements and
advertisements as well as a picture of her being the cover girl of a fashion magazine.
It seemed undeniable that she was on top of her game right now, but… Serenity’s eyes darkened
slightly without her realizing it. Anybody could tell that everything that Aria had all came her way
because she was Lucas Gomez’s girlfriend. Once she broke up with Lucas, she would likely lose many
things, and her life would no longer be so picture-perfect.
Besides, men like Lucas probably hated nothing more than a girlfriend persistently clinging onto him for
the rest of his life.
At the very least, Serenity had seen with her own eyes how unfeeling and cruel Lucas had been to his
clingy ex-girlfriend.
So, what would Aria’s future look like?
Serenity could not help but chuckle. It did not matter what would become of Aria in the future, whether
she would fall to rock bottom or continue living in glory because she now had nothing to do with Aria.
In the past, she had truly loved Aria as a sister and would find ways to help Aria obtain some success,
but after having been in prison, it was clear how little she mattered to her own family, and all the love
Serenity had once felt for them had all but dissipated.
Serenity went on to scroll through her phone for a little longer until she started to feel a little sleepy. She
leaned back on the couch, and her eyelids began to feel heavier and heavier…
The next time Jackson turned to look at Serenity, she was already lying on her side on the couch with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher eyes closed, obviously asleep. He got up and slowly walked over to her side. At the moment, her
sleeping face looked serene and peaceful, her curly eyelashes casting shadows on her face.
He stared at her sleeping face, mesmerized. The sight of her filled his heart with peace and
contentment,
Jackson went to the lounge in the next room to get a blanket and gently covered her body with it.
All his life, he used to think that possessing someone or getting anyone he wanted was a simple
matter. Only now did he realize that when he truly wanted someone, he did not want to threaten her
and force her to be his with the power he wielded. Instead, he wanted her to be willing to be his. And
when he truly loved someone, he could easily lose a night of sleep over something she said, a look she
gave, or even just a simple gesture of hers.
“When will you finally fall in love with me?” he asked softly. “How much longer do I have to wait for you,
hımı?“

Bet the only reply he got was the silent flowing of the cool air in his office.

When Serenity opened her eyes, she saw a blurry image of a familiar ceiling. After a while, she
suddenly shivered and sat up straight abruptly.
