Semua Bab My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!: Bab 271 - Bab 280

Lisa was flabbergasted. She never expected to hear the voice of a man answering the phone, especially when it sounded like..."Are you... Jackson Valor?""Yes," was the short reply she got before the call was swiftly ended.Lisa stared at the phone in her hand and was in a daze for a few seconds before she came back to her senses. If Serenity was already asleep... Why had Jackson answered her phone?! Did that mean that he was by her side?And if she was not at her place, where else would she be staying right now?!Lisa's gaze shifted from the phone to the door to Serenity's rented room, which was closed shut. Could it be that... she was staying with Jackson Valor?!Could something so outlandish even be possible?Meanwhile, Jackson put Serenity's phone away and very carefully carried the woman who was sleeping in his arms out of the car. Worried that she might get cold on the way, he took off his coat and laid it over her body to keep her warm.All the servants who saw them alon

She spoke almost hysterically. That photo album contained the most cherished memories in her life, after all.Jackson frowned without him realizing it as he asked her, "Were you going to throw your life away just for that photo album? You were lucky yesterday because only your fingers were blistered, and they were not that serious, but what if the flames had consumed more parts of your body?""But that photo album is very important to me!" she insisted."More important than your own two hands?" he countered, his voice deepening. "Were you really going to sacrifice your hands just to protect that photo album?"Serenity took a deep breath and said, "It's important enough to me that I'd protect it without any hesitation, even if it means sacrificing my hands."To her, this was not just an empty wish, but it was her conviction and resolve, because the album contained the memory of the purest and most genuine love she had ever received, and it was also the happiest period in her life.

Serenity looked so small in the photographs. Her cheeks looked chubby with baby fat. Her hair was thick, luscious, and black. She was such an adorable and cherubic child.Jackson never knew that he would ever be so fascinated by a little girl before, yet at that moment, as he was looking at the tiny toddler in the photo, a peculiar love grew from the bottom of his heart. In fact, he even had a feeling that if the girl in the picture would appear in front of him right now, he would not be able to stop himself from hugging and kissing her.Was it just because the little girl was Serenity? Was that the reason why he thought the girl was so cute? In any case, he had never felt this way about any other child.Jackson continued to pull out each photograph carefully one by one. It started with photos of Serenity and her mother, but afterward, there were mostly photos of Serenity alone. She looked slightly older in these photos than she did in the photos with her mother. She was probably ab

The problem was, someone like him must have seen a lot of cute people. Was she really so cute when she was little that he must have that photo?However, she did not have time to think too much about it because she had to go meet Lisa.Jackson asked his driver to take her there.She knew from past experiences that protesting was futile. When he had decided on something, there would not be much room for negotiation.Serenity got in the car and told the driver her destination.And so, she arrived half an hour earlier than intended.Serenity went into a fast food restaurant, found a seat, ordered a drink which cost a dollar, and sent a text to Lisa.While waiting for her friend, she looked idly at the delivery riders who were dashing in and out of the restaurant.Deliveries... Serenity was intrigued. Her driving license had been revoked, but that did not mean she could not ride an electric scooter. She would also be paid according to how much labor she put in. Although the base sal

He was a young adult, a beautiful man with the kind of pretty androgynous face that was very popular at the moment.His facial features were exquisite, as if they were painted on. But at the moment, his thin lips were tightly pursed together, and that pair of extremely beautiful black eyes seemed to be shrouded by anger.That man... was angry? thought Serenity. Moreover, based on the direction he was looking at, he seemed to be angry at something in her direction..."Serenity, I'm talking to you. Did you hear what I say?" Lisa's voice resounded in Serenity's ears, causing her to come back to her senses."What did you say?" Serenity turned to look at her friend and asked."I asked, did the doctor say how long your hands would take to heal?" asked Lisa."About a week. After that, I'll have to wait for the skin to slowly heal," answered Serenity. When she glanced in the direction of the strange man again, the car was no longer there."What are you looking at?" Lisa followed her fri
