God, what was she thinking? How could she think that?
“It’s too close so it feels weird,” said Serenity. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“Okay, then,” he said. He released her and took a step back, then went to the table to clear it.
Serenity let out a sigh of relief. She touched her face, and it felt quite hot.
“By th
the way, Sis, when we were really close just now, did you have the urge to kiss me?” His sudden question made her entire body freeze up.
She blinked her dark almond eyes. The face under her palms felt even hotter now.
“Is that a hard question to answer?” he asked with raised eyebrows.
“well. Of course l…”
“I would do it if it’s with you,” he interrupted her, “I don’t like other women kissing me, but if it’s you, I wouldn’t mind it.” Sunlight spilled into the room through a narrow glass window and fell on him.
His expression was serious, as if he was trying to convince her that he was not joking
The latter part of her sentence, “I only see you as a brother“, got stuck in her throat, unable to be uttered no matter how hard she tried.
That afternoon, when Serenity was idly surfing the web on her phone, she came across news about Joy Shaw. The news report stated that Joy Shaw was sent to the hospital late last night. Apparently,
she had offended someone, which resulted in her foot getting crushed. Her foot might never heal completely.
She would probably be absent from her brother’s engagement party which would be held in a few days.
The paparazzi who reported the news said that he had yet to find out who Joy Shaw had offended, but the Shaw family’s attitude was vague. They did not lodge a police report so it appeared they did not intend to pursue the matter.
Therefore, the reporter concluded that the person Joy Shaw offended was likely more powerful than the Shaw family, so the Shaw family had no choice but to take it.
After reading the news, Serenity subconsciously looked towards Jackson. When she got injured, he said that Joy Shaw would pay the price.
And now, she really had. 1
Was it a coincidence? Or was it…
“Why are you staring at me like that?” Jackson suddenly raised his head and asked.
She shook her head. What was she thinking?!
“Joy Shaw got injured and was hospitalized,” Serenity told Jackson about the news.
“Isn’t that great?” he asked.
“I just feel like your words are always very prophetic,” she said, “Remember when you said that the ad Zeke Shaw put up to propose to Jenny Hall would be taken down? It actually did happen. And this time, you said Joy Shaw would pay the price, and something immediately happened to her.”
She pondered and said, “It feels like whatever you say would come true, as if you’re Nostradamus.”
She was probably the only person in the world who would describe him lile this. He did not low whether to laugh or cry. Since I have that kind of power, is there anything you want to wish for?”
“Me?” She shook her head. “I don’t have any wish.” She knew very clearly that her dreams were beyond her reach right now.
“Wouldn’t you like to find someone who can take care of you?” he asked. “A man who can protect you and give you anything you want.“!
She chuckled softly, “As I am now, I would be
to look for someone like that. Besides, I’m juteful enough if I could stop worrying about rent and fond. I don’t have time
a sanitation worker. A guy who could do all that wouldn’t look at me twice.” “What if someone does take a liking to you?” he asked.
