Chapter 1483

The moment he heard her say that, his eyes lit up like stars, glittering and bright, while his mouth curled into a nice looking arc. "You've missed me... You've missed me..." he murmured with excitement. His beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed a little teary. Serenity was a little taken aback by his emotional reaction. She could make him react so strongly with just a few simple words? She knew without a doubt that he loved her. And... she actually loved him too, didn't she? "Let's eat first and talk later. The food will get cold," Serenity said. "Okay, let's eat first. This is our first New Year's Eve together. You'll have New Year's Eve dinner with me every year from now on, won't you?" he asked, his voice thick with nerves and hope. She knew the answer he wanted to hear, and she didn't want to make him sad. "Yes. From now on, we'll have New Year's Eve dinner together every year," she said. Her reply was a promise that sated his anticipation and desire. Tears fell from his eyes and slid down his face. He was crying, but his lips were smiling. His smile was as captivating as the most beautiful springtime scenery. It pained Serenity's heart. Because Jackson suddenly started crying, the New Year's Eve dinner lasted for a while. "I... I want to watch the New Year special program on TV. Would you like to watch it with me?" Serenity asked. It had been years since she last watched the New Year special program. She could vaguely remember watching the New Year special program while nestled in her grandmother's arms when she was a little girl. After she returned to her so-called home in the city, her father, stepmother and stepsister would always watch the TV together on New Year's Eve, but she had always felt like an outsider and had never joined them. It was only after she started dating Zeke Shaw that they started treating her better, but even then, they never felt like family to her. "Sure," Jackson answered, "If you want to watch it, then I'll watch it with you." The program started at 8 pm. Serenity sat on the sofa in the living room with Jackson and watched the program playing on the large TV screen. This was a new experience for Serenity. She felt peaceful. It was similar to how she felt when she watched the TV next to her grandmother in the past, but slightly different. Maybe it's because... Jack's not just her family, but also her beloved! During a performance, Serenity turned to Jackson and asked, "Jack, I... I'll try my best to forget about the things that happened in the past." Jackson's body trembled. His eyes that stared at contained shock, surprise, anticipation, and nervousness... "Serenity, you..." Did she just say what he thought she said? Was it possible? He was like a person who was awaiting judgment. He was so nervous that he didn't know what to do.
