Chapter 1477

As he spoke, he walked up to Serenity and stared down at her. “Didn’t you say that as long as I didn’t leave, you wouldn’t give up this relationship? No matter what happens, we’ll stick together till the very end, no?” Serenity felt suffocated. The promise she made echoed in her ears. She subconsciously moved her hand over her belly. Judging from its size, it already appeared to be a full-term pregnancy. Serenity took a deep breath and replied, “Yes, I said that.” After saying that, she turned to Lucas and said, “You heard that right, Lucas? I… I’ll never leave Jack’s side.” The moment she uttered his name, Jackson’s eyes lit up with excitement. She had called him ‘Jack’ again. Did that mean she had decided to forgive him? Had she finally decided to move on from the past? Lucas’ expression changed slightly, but he did not act particularly surprised. Or perhaps, he had already anticipated such an outcome. Maybe he just wanted… a final confirmation. He wanted to know if she was willing to stay by his side after the truth was revealed. “Very well. I got the message. If… this is your wish, then so be it.” Lucas left the room and brought his men along with him. Jackson asked the rest of the people to leave the room as well. With everyone gone, Serenity and Jackson were the only two people left in the consulting room. He gazed at her with his bright eyes, filled with hope and expectation. “Are you really not going to leave me, Serenity?” he asked her. “I-” Serenity choked up. At that moment, she wasn’t sure whether she would leave him or not. For the past few days, she had been finding all sorts of excuses for him. She constantly told herself that he didn’t know her in the beginning, so it was natural that he wouldn’t feel sympathy or pity toward her… But even so, she still didn’t know how to face him. As soon as she saw his face, she would be transported back to prison, and the scenes of Jenny pulling out her nails and her being abused to the point where her uterus was injured would replay in her mind. It was so bad that she would feel bursts of pain, as the abuse she suffered in prison continued to haunt her body. Her silence caused Jackson’s eyes to grow dim. He laughed self-deprecatingly, “So, those words you said earlier were just meant for Lucas? You only said those words to make him lose feelings for you because you didn’t want to keep him hanging?” Serenity bit her lower lip. It was true. She had only said those words for the reason that Jackson had pointed out. Jackson’s expression soured. “Do you regret it? Being married to me? Had Lucas initially spent 2 million dollars to save Lisa, would you have…” He found it difficult to go any further, but his peach-blossom eyes continued staring her down. The sight of his beautiful facial features made Serenity’s heart twitch in pain. “I…” “I’ve heard enough!” Serenity was rudely interrupted before she could say anything. Then, before she could react, he yanked on the door handle and stormed out, leaving her alone in the room.
