Jackson felt a pang of agony, almost as if someone had just stabbed him in the heart.
“But it’s a pity that this dress got torn, Serenity said in a regretful tone. “I only got to wear it once.”
It really was too bad that there was such a huge gaping hole in such an exquisite dress. Even if she wanted it mended, she had no doubt that it would cost a lot of money and require a lot of specialized skills.
“I’ll just buy you a new one,” replied jackson. “The most important thing is that you’re not hurt.”
Serenity smiled and shook her head, telling him, “But I’m not hurt at all! I’m not as fragile as you think I am, you know,”
But her smile only made him feel more ill at ease. She was right. Although she might appear thin and weak, she had always been tenaciously fighting to survive. After spending a lot of time with her, he now understood more than anyone else in the world how strong she was,
And yet, that was precisely why he was filled with even more guilt and regret. It was all because of his mistake that she had to toughen up her slender and delicate body when she should never have to be this strong at all. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
“I’m sorry…” Jackson suddenly blurted out.
“What are you sorry for?” asked Serenity, confused.
“I should’ve acted quicker and found out the truth about what happened in that car crash so you could be exonerated sooner.
“But that car crash wasn’t your fault at all!” she answered sincerely, completely trusting him. “Why do you need to apologize for it? The fact that you’re willing to help me figure out the truth makes me happy enough!”

‘Really?” he murmured.
He could not help himself from leaning down and kissing her on the lips. It was only through a kiss that he could express his guilt. It was only through a kiss that he could silently tell her how much he regretted his mistake.
He would make sure that those who harmed her today would pay for what they did. He would make sure that no one would ever dare make hurtful remarks in front of her ever again.
His kiss was both deep and exploratory. Serenity had no choice but to accept it, but his kiss was soon about to leave her out of breath. She struggled to try to remind him that they were still right outside the function hall where anyone could pass by them at any time!
But every time she tried to say anything, his lips once again enveloped hers, swallowing her voice. Until eventually… She ended up unable to utter a complete sentence and was forced to be completely immersed in his passionate kiss, leaving her mind empty and unable to think coherently.
Suddenly, Jackson slowly opened his eyes and glanced in a certain direction, where Lucas and Aria were walking out from the function.
And those two had obviously seen Jackson and Serenity kissing as well because they both had stopped abruptly in their tracks!
Lucas’s pupils shrank, and his whole body stiffened up. The hands that had been hanging by his sides quickly balled up into tight fists.
Even he could not understand himself right now. How many times had he told himself not to care about Serenity anymore? Yet why did he have to react this way when he saw her kissing Jackson?
Aria watched Serenity and Jackson with both envy and jealousy. Heavens only knew how she had never even once kissed Lucas before even though she had been his girlfriend for so long! Yet now, Serenity and Jackson were passionately kissing as if no one else in this world existed but the two of them!
The sight made her grind her teeth with bitter contempt. She just could not figure out how a woman who had been in prison like Serenity could ever attract a man like Jackson Vallor!
After a long while, the kiss finally ended. Serenity was panting heavily, but Jackson once again pulled her in and pressed her tightly against his chest.
