Chapter 65
The cold glint in Jackson’s beautiful eyes made Zele shudder.
Connor, who stood beside them, spoke up. “Don’t ask what you’re not supposed to ask. Mr. Shaw, how
do you not understand this?
Zeke paled and left in embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Jackson leaned back on the couch. He then took out a cheap cell phone with only one
number stored in it and dialed it. A few moments later, a gentle female voice answered the call.
“Sis, what do you want to eat tonight? I’ll pack it and bring it home,” Jackson said softly, and his cold
eyes became gentle.
That night, Serenity took a tissue and wiped the picture frame with her mother’s photo.
She had specially bought a small desk for her rented place. She usually put her mother’s photo on the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdesk and would wipe the accumulated dust every few days.
All of her mother’s belongings had been left at the Lewis Residence. For her, this photo was the only
thing she had of her mother.
Jackson sat aside and quietly watched her as she wiped the photo.
“By the way, Jack, it’s almost New Year. Have you bought… Uh… Tickets home or anything?” Serenity
asked.
Over the past two days, many of her colleagues in the Sanitation Office had been scrambling to grab
train tickets for the New
Year.
Jackson instantly understood what she wanted to ask. “I don’t need to buy any tickets.”
“You don’t have to go home?” Serenity was surprised.
“I don’t have a home except here.” Even though he had stayed in the Valor Residence for many years,
he never felt at home.
Serenity remembered that Jackson had said previously that he had no family, but Most people had
relatives and extended family, and they would usually visit them during New Year’s.
Serenity then voiced her doubts. Nevertheless, Jackson smiled and explained indifferently, “I do have
some relatives, but 1 don’t really go out of my way to visit them.”
Although he still had his grandfather, they did not share an affectionate relationship. After all, Master
Zack needed nothing more than an heir to the Valor family.
What Master Zack wanted was merely a capable heir. As long as Jackson was good and strong
enough, he was what Master Zack wanted. If he was a weakling, Master Zack would ruthlessly expel
him regardless of their relationship.
Besides, Jackson had half of that woman’s blood in his body. Master Zack hated this the most and was
disgusted with it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJackson remembered when he was a child, many times, Master Zack would grimace with hatred in his
eyes. “Why do you have that woman’s blood flowing in you?! You shouldn’t even exist!”
At that time, Master Zack had hit him with his cane countless times and continued for a long time.
When he grew up and began to show his abilities, Master Zack’s attitude toward him slowly changed.
However, he still had that woman’s blood flowing in him, and this was a fact that could not be changed.
Serenity hesitated for a moment before asking, “How about your parents? A–are they ”
The look on Jackson’s face changed slightly. Those beautiful eyes looked at her, but the emotions in
his eyes seemed to be masked with a thin veil. She could not tell what he was thinking at the moment.
Serenity bit her lips. “If you don’t want to talk about it, just pretend I didn’t ask.“”
“Do you really want to know?” Jackson spoke with a hint of inadvertent coldness in his tone.
“I just want to understand you better, but if it’s something you don’t want to say, don’t say it. Anyway,
the past doesn’t matter anymore. What’s more important is the future, isn’t it? Serenity said.
Jackson’s long eyelashes fluttered softly and then stopped. “My dad died. I met you on the anniversary
of his death. Many years ago, he died where I sat that day.”
