Chapter 185
When she looked at him with those loving eyes, when she smiled at him and called him “Jack”, when
her hands wrapped. around his neck and her sweet breath rushed into his nostrils, he felt as if he was
intoxicated too.
“Looks like I shouldn’t have said that I wouldn’t touch you when you’re drunk,” he murmured. This was
the first time be would go back on his word, and it was all because of her.
He bent down and kissed her on the lips, so fondly and so lovingly.

asleep again.
“She’s so…” He was overcome with a rare feeling of helplessness. She was probably the only person
in the world who could fall asleep after messing with him!
He stared fixedly at the woman in his arms. After a while, he sighed and covered her up with the
blanket again. He then got out of bed and sat down next to her.
“You owe me one, okay?” he whispered, his voice drifting across the quiet house.
The little rental house no longer felt as cold as before. There was warmth in
air.
When Serenity woke up, she was shocked to see Jackson sitting by her bed.
“What are you doing here?” she stammered.
“Do you think you can walk back on your own after getting drunk?” he answered with a question.
It all came back to Serenity then. Yesterday she seemed to have drunk a lot of wine. In fact, all she
could remember from last evening was her drinking a lot of wine in the restaurant’s private room.
“After you sent me home yesterday, you didn’t… go home?” she asked in bewilderment. He could not
have sat there the whole night, right?

“…Thanks,” she said. He was the one who made her drink, but now, she had to thank him? It felt a bit
weird. “By the way, will you let my relatives po?
She suddenly remembered why she drank last evening. She instantly looked at him with an eager and
nervous face, afraid that
he would refuse..
He chuckled and said, “I’ve already asked Connor to take care of it. They should be released soon.”
She let out a sigh of relief.
If they’re released, surely Grandma would get better, right?
