He would never tell anyone these things in the past, but at this moment, seeing her standing in front of
his father’s portrait, be told her so naturally.
It was as if he could only pour out these words that were buried deep in his heart when he was talking
to her.
“My father should have met many women back then. There were bound to be some who were even
prettier than her, yet he gave up everything for such a woman. He’s a fool,” Jackson murmured.
“Your father may not necessarily love your mother because she’s beautiful. When you love someone,
looks may not be that important anymore. Furthermore.. you’ll like everything about them, be it the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgood or the bad,” said Serenity.
The light in Jackson’s eyes flickered slightly. His eyes were fixed on Serenity’s face. “Maybe it’s as you
say. When you love someone, looks may not be that important anymore…”
It was the same for him. He had seen women who were prettier and more considerate than Serenity,
but only Serenity could make him feel this way.
He liked the warmth when she cared for him. He liked it when she called him “Jack“. He liked it when
she held his hand at night as they fell asleep.
His eyes looked as if they were hinting at something. He enveloped her with his gaze. When he looked
at her like that, she could not move an inch.
When the incense burned out, Jackson stood up and burned his mother’s portrait too. He then blow out
the candles. “Why did you burn your mother’s portrait?” Serenity asked in surprise.
“I burn this portrait every year,” said Jackson, “Let’s go back.”
Serenity looked at the time. It was a little past midnight, so it was a new day.
“Why do you burn that portrait every year?” she asked curiously. Then, as if realizing her mistake, she
quickly said, “Uhh, you don’t have to answer that. I was just… asking casually.”
She realized that it was not her place to ask. She should be trying to stay away from him, but they
seemed to be getting more and more tangled up now.
“Because yesterday was her birthday. In the past, my father would always wait for her on that day to
celebrate her birthday with her. He would wait for her no matter how late it got. I burn her portrait to let
my father know that, one day, I’ll find her and bring her to his grave.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJackson murmured. That was why he would stare at the portrait of the woman he should be calling his
mother at this time every year- so that he would not forget what she looked like. He wanted to
recognize her when he saw her one day.
“Let’s go,” he said. He took her hand and walled back to the main house.
Meanwhile, in the security office, the security guards who were keeping watch were all crowding in
front of the surveillance monitors, looking at the two people who were walking out of the mourning hall
“They’re coming out! Oh my god, Miss Lewis is still safe and sound!!
“Mr. Valor is… holding her hand!
“She’s the only one who could go in there and come out with him holding her hand. Anyone else would
have been killed by Mr. Valor!”
While the security guards were discussing that, the man on the surveillance monitor suddenly looked
up into the camera as if he was looking at the security guards through the screen.
The security guards immediately fell silent. They did not dare to make a sound.
