Chapter 324
Serenity’s first reaction was the thought that Jackson might attack that small restaurant. If he could
destroy an up–and- coming company to the point of bankruptcy, there was certainly no limit to what he
could do to that small restaurant.
“No…” she stammered. “No, 1 never thought of it that way.”
She did not want to see the small restaurant suffer because of her. Besides, she could tell that Clare
was a decent person, and she even had a disabled son to take care of, so Serenity was sure that Clare
must have a lot of burdens to bear.
“That’s good, then,” Jackson smiled. “So just keep on living here and don’t worry about anything.”

Jackson took her hands and placed her palms against his cheeks.
“Since you insist on finding your own job,” he said, “I’ll give in and let you have your way. But
remember, no matter how late you get home, you must wish me good night every day, okay?”
She was slightly stunned, having never expected that he would make such a weird request.
Saying good night to him… was something that she used to do every day when they lived together in
that rental room. But that was because he was her only family back then and because he was the only
one she believed she could rely on.
But… was he still her family now?
His cheeks rubbed against the palms of her hand gently. He closed his eyes slowly, and his lips
gradually curled up into a smile. He looked perfectly content.
The next day, Serenity showed up punctually at the small restaurant with her identification documents
in hand. Clara did the necessary paperwork and then gave Serenity the rough guidelines for the job
before allocating an electric scooter to her.
“You can use this scooter to commute to and from work as well, she told Serenity, then suddenly
thought of a question she should have asked sooner. “By the way, do you know how to ride it?
“Yes,” Sercity replied, then honestly added, “but I haven’t ridden one for a few years now. I should be
able to do it just fine after practicing for a little while.”
“Good,” Clara said, “Then go ahead and practice a little. By the way, you know you’ve been in a tragic
car crash before, so you must be very careful on the road, okay? Don’t ever exceed the speed limits

means you’re a little late with the deliveries. It’s for your own good and for everyone else’s as well.”
“okay,” Serenity answered. She then assured Clara, “I understand and I’ll always remember it, Clare. I’ll
be very careful and never exceed the speed limit.
“Good!” Clara smiled. “Well, that’s it, then. You’ll get paid on the 15th day of every month. I’ll cover your
basic insurance as well. You can always come to me if you have any questions.”
“Okay.”
Just then, she could feel someone hugging her leg tightly. She looked down and saw that beautiful
cherubic face again. She recalled how Clare had called the boy “Yanny” yesterday.
Clare then called out to her sur while signing with her hands to say “Come here, Yanny!“.
However, the boy only clung onto Serenity’s leg even more tightly now. He even looked up at her in
fascination, paying no mind at all to his own mother.
Clare walked up and tried to pull her son away, but she realized that the boy would not come with her
quietly as he always did usually, but on the contrary, he held onto Serenity’s leg even more firmly now.
