It felt like a vivid and painful slap in Amanda’s face.

She was so furious that she turned around and quickly left the place in embarrassment with Janice following close behind.

Serenity felt like she had just watched a drama unfold before her eyes. As soon as they exited the mall, they had witnessed someone smashing a car, which turned out to be Amanda’s.

He was also staring unblinkingly at the bus stop.

“What’s wrong?” Serenity asked.

“It’s… nothing,” Jackson replied as his expression gradually returned to normal.

That had been a mistake, right? He thought the woman who had just boarded the bus looked like a certain other woman he knew…

“Jack, maybe one day when you truly love someone, you’ll understand that in this world, there’s someone who can control the joy and sorrow you feel, who can make you feel alive or dead… But if possible, Daddy hopes you never experience that.”
