Chapter 600
Jackson remained silent and kept driving. He was teeling a panic he had never felt before.
He did not know what he was afraid of. Was he afraid of Lucas finding out that Serenity was indeed the person he had been looking for? Or was he afraid that Serenity would develop some kind of feelings for Lucas in the future?
No, Lucas… shouldn’t be able to discover anything. Jackson had already taken the necessary precautions, just in case something like this happened.
Meanwhile, Serenity seemed to have forgotten about the things that had happened in the past. According to Jackson’s Investigation, in the days after Lucas was found, Serenity had fallen terribly sick with a high fever. She was even sent to Solaria for treatment.
She must have forgotten certain things because of that high fever,
But… even though Jackson had taken the necessary precautions, why did he still feel so apprehensive?
He felt as if something out of his expectations would happen, thus throwing his plan off.
Like the photos he just saw, for example. Lucas was hugging Serenity and crying into her arms. At that time, what was on her mind? Why had she never told jackson about that?
What was she trying to hide?
“Jack, where exactly are we going? I have to get back to work,” said Serenity.
However, Jackson remained silent, as if he didn’t hear her.
Serenity bit her lip. She could only take out her phone and give Clara a call. “Clara, umm.. something unexpected came up. I’m. afraid I won’t be able to get back to the restaurant for a few hours… Yeah, I’m fine. I’m so sorry..”
After ending the call, Serenity saw that there was a call from Jackson earlier in the call history.
The call lasted for nearly a minute.
However, she did not remember receiving that call! Serenity suddenly thought of Lucas.
When she was changing earlier, she did not bring her phone and bag into the changing room. Instead, she had left them on
the seat next to Lucas.
Could Lucas have answered her phone back then?
When Serenity thought of that, she immediately understood why Jackson would suddenly appear at the store.
“Did Lucas answer my phone earlier when you called? I happened to be in the changing room and left my phone outside… I merely bumped into Lucas today. My shirt got dirty when I was delivering food…”
Serenity, can you not say anything right now?” He suddenly cut her short.
She bit her lip. From her angle, she could see the layer of frost covering his face. His face was so cold that it was frightening. His hands were gripping the steering wheel hard, as if he was suppressing his emotion with all his might.
The inside of the car was once again filled with a suffocating silence.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Did Jackson misunderstand that there was something going on between her and Lucas? Serenity could only wait to give Jack a proper explanation after the car stopped.
When the car finally stopped, Serenity realized that they were at the top of Mount Asol. From here, they could overlook the entire city of Solaria.
A lot of people would come here to enjoy the scenery on the weekends and during the holidays, but right now, there were not that many visitors. Except for the noises made by the insects and birds, the place was very quiet.
