However, the pair of eyes under the fringe were unusually direct, as if to him, it was just an innocent

question.

‘Hmm… Jack looks naive. He probably didn’t mean anything by that,’ thought Serenity.

She cleared her throat and said, “I can like you, but it’s not love. They’re two different kinds of feelings.

In my opinion, love is eternal, irreplaceable, and you would even be willing to… live and die together.”

His dark eyes abruptly narrowed. Live and die together? Strangely enough, when he heard her say

that, the first thought that came to his mind was… Living and dying together with her did not sound so

bad.

Did that mean he was in love with her?

How could that be? He almost laughed out loud at the thought.

He admitted that he had a fondness for her and felt attached to her. He cared about her and seemed to

have unknowingly gotten addicted to the feeling of staying by her side. Otherwise, he would not have

played this game for so long.

But falling in love with her… he would not do that.

He swore to himself a long time ago that he would never fall in love with any woman!

“Besides, you’ll never make me sad, will you?’ Her gentle voice transmitted into his ears.

He looked at her slightly red cheeks and her faint smile, and he smiled in response. “That’s right. I’ll

never make you sad.” He wondered if she would be sad the day she found out that he was Jackson

Valor.

Or would she be elated? Maybe she would be elated that she could befriend him?

But whatever her reaction would be, he could keep his promise to protect her forever. After all, for him,

it wasn’t anything hard.

Serenity went to work as usual the next day. After cleaning the streets with Xyla, they went back to the

Sanitation Office for lunch break. When they arrived, Serenity noticed that their co-workers seemed to

be stealing glances at her. Some of the gazes were curious, some were contemptuous, some were

mocking. and some showed sympathy.

A lot of them were also pointing at her and whispering among each other.

Serenity was wondering what happened when Xyla walked over from the tool storage room, pulled her

aside and whispered, “Serenity, were you in jail before?”

Serenity felt as if she was electrocuted. Her face suddenly turned pale. All her questions from a

moment ago had just been answered.

In truth… she had long prepared herself me ntally for this moment. She knew that sooner or later, the

people around her would find out that she was an ex-convict.

After all, no secret was truly safe in this world.

But when the secret actually got out, when the people around her started looking at her askew and

talking about her behind her back, she still felt really vulnerable, like she was standing naked in a

snowy land.

“Yeah,” she admitted.

“Oh, no! But you’re such a good lass. How did you end up in jail? What crime did you commit?’ asked

Xyla. She had come to seek confirmation from Serenity the moment she heard others talking about it,

so she did not hear the specifics.

“Involuntary manslaughter while driving under Influence, Serenity bit her lips and said.

Normally, the punishment for drunk driving, even if it caused death, was just probation plus

compensation. However, the Hall family was adamant that they did not want to receive a penny of

compensation from her. They only wanted her to go to jail.

“You… Sigh… Xyla sighed. “I heard you used to be a lawyer, but now you can only clean the streets

with me. What a shame. That’s why you shouldn’t drive when you’re drunk.”

Xyla rambled on, but she did not look at Serenity with contempt. That warmed Serenity’s heart.
