Semua Bab My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!: Bab 431 - Bab 440

Serenity held her breath when she saw his expression. Wait a minute... Was he... Angry? “You said you wanted to support yourself, that you’d rather continue delivering food for that restaurant than relying on me. I’ll accept that.” Jackson took a deep breath before he continued, “However, isn’t it quite normal for a man to buy little gifts for his girlfriend? Are you treating me as a boyfriend at all?” Serenity bit her lip nervously. At that moment, she was lost for words.“I understand that you don’t wish to rely on me, but that doesn’t mean you have to reject everything I give you,” said Jackson. He wanted her to live a good life and to stop being such a penny-pincher. Of course, he understood that she had developed this personality due to her experience. He knew that it would take time for her to change. But... the frustration that he so desperately tried to suppress still made its way out. However, the frustration was directed more at himself than her. If only he had

At the very next moment, Jackson reached over and grabbed her wrist. Serenity looked back at him in surprise. “What’s the matter?” He pursed his thin lips, and his gaze gradually cleared up. Wearing a slight smile, he replied, “It’s nothing. Go get changed.” After he had let go of her hand, Serenity went into the changing room. It was only when she shut the door that Jackson closed his eyes. ***Not yet. He had spent so much effort just for her to grow close to him. She would be frightened if he moved too quickly. Serenity was like a timid little animal. She was as cautious as she was timid. Every step she took was filled with trepidation. Jackson, on the other hand, had to be extremely patient in order to slowly break down the wariness of her heart. For her to learn to rely on him, he had to take it slow.Only then would she truly fall in love with him. Only then would she be unable to leave his side!And so, patience was key...But he wanted her love so badly!Serenity

“Cough!” Serenity almost choked on her saliva. Was he really talking to the head of the Transportation Department?! Only a handful of people in Solaria were capable of pulling off such a stunt.Jackson drove past the intersection when the traffic light turned green again. Serenity glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed the car that he had mentioned earlier. Sure enough, although there were a few cars between them, it would remain behind them. Before long, she noticed a patrol car catching up to them, and it eventually forced the vehicle behind to the side of the road. She watched as two policemen exited their vehicle, and... they soon disappeared from the rearview mirror. That patrol car had probably been dispatched by the Transportation Department. While shocked, Serenity also gained a better understanding of Jackson’s influence in the city.Under the intense stares of the policemen, Flora had to produce her ID card and driver’s license. As she did so, she silently lamented

Before she went to prison, all the clothes in her closet were either formal clothes for work or the type of clothes that Zeke Shaw liked. She barely had any clothes that she herself liked.It was as if she was trying so hard to please other people that she forgot to please herself."I wish I got to know you sooner," Jackson suddenly muttered.If he had known her sooner, they might have started off on the right foot and she wouldn't have to go to prison for three years. He also wouldn't have to feel apprehensive of her finding out about certain things.Serenity felt like Jackson's eyes currently contained a lot of emotions that she could not decipher."Alright, let's go," he said and helped her down the stairs. She skipped breakfast today because she had to go to the hospital on an empty stomach for the medical checkup.Jackson led Serenity to the car. In the car, he watched her tie her hair with the scrunchie he bought yesterday. It was just a simple black scrunchie, but unlike t

Liliana was always overshadowed by Serenity when Serenity worked at the law firm. Serenity shone so brightly that it made Liliana feel invisible.Now, Liliana would make sure everybody in the law firm get a good look at Serenity. She wanted them to see what the so-called pride of the female lawyers from back then looked like now!She wanted to let the people in the law firm know how wrong they were!That was the only way her anger could be quelled.Just then, a nurse passed by, and the co-worker who was talking to Liliana asked the nurse, "Excuse me, a staff member told us earlier that ultrasound room is not open for medical checkups, but a nurse clearly led someone who's here for a medical checkup to that room. What's going on?""Oh, that person must have booked our hospital's VIP medical checkup package," answered the nurse."VIP medical checkup package?" The co-worker looked stunned. She asked, "How much does that cost?""It depends on the package, but even the cheaper ones c
