“……Da mn that gossipmonger.
“Why don’t you bring her along the next time we go out? Let us see what she looks like,” suggested
Caleb.
In their social circle, Jackson had always been known as someone who was uninterested in women.
He even treated Mira Hall rather coldly, and she was his fiance. But this time, he actually rushed to a
faraway town to save a woman in the middle of the night.
Caleb was shocked when he heard it: He immediately called Jackson to ask him about it.
But Caleb’s curiosity made Jackson a little unhappy. He did not want other men to be curious about
Serenity. He did not want her to meet those people. He even wished he could keep her in a place
where only he could see her.

Jackson naturally knew those people were very popular with women, especially Lucas Gomez. It felt
like any woman Lucas had his eyes on would end up becoming his girlfriend. Those women would still
go out with him even though they knew that the shelf life of their relationship would be very short
If Lucas took a liking to Serenity….
The idea annoyed Jackson very much.
Others might think that Jackson could have any woman he wanted because he was Jackson Valor,

When had he ever worried about a woman falling for another man before? Was he really in love with
Serenity? No, no way, he just enjoyed spending time with her, that’s all.
He swore that he would never fall in love with any y woman!
“There’s nothing different about her. It’s all just a game. I’m bored, so I’m doing this to pass the time.
There’s nothing to be curious about,” he said, seemingly nonchalantly.

He instantly froze. When he turned around and saw the person standing behind him, fear gripped his
heart and quickly spread to his whole body.

Chapter 1
“Are you… Jackson Valor?” To Serenity, the voice that asked this question seemed to belong to
someone else. There was no anger, no resentment, no tears in the voice, only calmness.
For some reason, her chaotic mind calmed down when she heard him say that it was all just a game to
him and he was only doing it to pass the time because he was bored.
