Chapter 341
He was not in the room
Where could be be? Downstairs?
But when Serenity went downstairs, she found that Jackson was not downstairs either.
She did not know why she would go outside when she could not find him in the main house.
The Valor Residence was really big. Outside the main house, there were the servants” rooms, the
garden, other pavilions, as well as ponds and streams.
In fact, having stayed at the Valor Residence for so long, she had never really taken a stroll through the
Valor Residence. She was not sure how big it really was.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was the wee hours of the morning. Besides some lighting along the way, the whole place was dark
The night was a little chilly because of the wind. Serenity could not help pulling up her collar. She asked
herself, why was she looking for Jackson? Was it because she was afraid that something might have
befallen him?
As if anything would happen to him in the Valor Residence!
In the end, she could only tell herself that she merely wanted to check if he’s alright because he came
to her rescue today.
Suddenly, a bright light caught her attention.
A short distance ahead, she saw a separate hut. She could see light through the windows.
When Serenity approached the hut, she found a plaque in front of it that said “Mooming Hall“.
Serenity was shocked. She gently pushed open the door. What she saw behind it was a spacious
antechamber. On the wall of the antechamber was a black and white portrait of a man.
He was a very handsome man with a strong scholarly air. He had gentle eyes. He looked a little like
Jackson, but not as
seductive
Perhaps it was because their eyes were different. The man’s eyes looked more like Master Zack’s
eyes.
Serenity already had an answer. The man was probably Jackson’s father.
She did not expect his father to be such a gentle–looking m
She recalled hearing Jackson say that his mother abandoned him and his father. When she heard it,

lawyer.
But now, seeing this portrait, what was originally just a concept in her mind suddenly gained a face, so
it became that much
more real.
What kind of woman would leave a man who looked so gentle? After the man died, did that woman
ever regret it?
“What are you doing here?” A voice suddenly asked in the quiet space, making Serenity jump.
She turned around and saw Jackson standing not far away, his deep, black eyes staring at her.
“L..I was looking for you,” she replied.
“Looking for me?” He raised his eyebrows slightly, then approached her and asked, “Do you need
something?
She bit her lip. She did not need anything. She just wanted to check if he’s alright.
“Hmm?” His eyes were still on her, waiting for her answer.
