My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 76
After Serenity accepted the check, she left the store with Lisa."Serenity, don't you think that was a little strange?" Lisa said as they exited the store. "Zeke actually handed you seven hundred and twenty thousand dollars without any hesitation, and Jenny was right there! Wasn't he afraid that she would misunderstand?""It really is strange," Serenity agreed."Do you think it's because Zeke still has feelings for you?" Lisa wondered."No. He's afraid. It's as if he was afraid that I might get angry at Joy, and that would be detrimental to the Shaw family," Serenity said, expressing her thoughts honestly.Lisa found her statement somewhat absurd. "Maybe he's overthinking it.""Who knows what goes on in his mind?" Serenity said with a shrug before looking at the check in her hand."What are you going to do with this? Tear it up?" Lisa asked, knowing her friend well enough that she wouldn't cash in the money for herself."Why waste it by tearing it up? I'll just donate it to t

"Why should I apologize?!" Joy protested indignantly.In the meantime, a crowd had started to form around them. Some of the onlookers recognized Jenny. After all, Jenny was a popular celebrity. Even though most of her face was covered by her sunglasses and hat, some people could still recognize her."It's Jenny Hall! And I think the guy next to her is her fiancé!""What are they doing here?""What's happening at the escalator? Is there an accident?"Whispers rose among the crowd. Lisa helped Serenity walk down the escalator. Zeke saw this and went after them.A hint of surprise flashed across Jenny's eyes. She could not believe that Zeke would actually ditch her to go after Serenity! To make matters worse, the crowd around Jenny started to gossip after seeing that."Jenny's fiancé is going after another woman.""Oh my god, is it a love triangle?"Jenny felt humiliated. She shielded her face and left in a hurry with Joy, trying her best to avoid the phones that were filming her

"Jack," answered Serenity. "I don't know how long I have to stay here for. I want to tell him not to wait for me for dinner."Serenity searched for Jack's contact in the phone and called him.The call was quickly picked up. Jackson's slightly cold voice greeted her, "Sis.""I have to take care of something, so I'll be home late today. You... should take care of dinner yourself," said Serenity.“What do you mean "take care of something"? Just tell him that you're in the hospital!” Lisa chimed in."Sis, you're in the hospital?" There seemed to be a slight change in Jackson's tone."Yeah. I tripped and fell, so I'm now in the hospital waiting to get an X-ray," replied Serenity."Which hospital? I'll be right there," said Jackson."You don't have to come. Lisa's with me. Just wait for me at home," she quickly said.The other end of the call was silent. After a moment, Jackson's cold voice could be heard again. He repeated the question insistently, "Which hospital?""Solaria Gener

He only paid more attention to Serenity than usual because of what the director said.At that moment, someone else walked into the consulting room and went to Serenity's side. He said, "Sis.""You're here," said Serenity. He arrived faster than she thought."Yeah, the heavy traffic delayed me a bit," said Jackson."Doctor, how is she? Is she okay? Someone tripped her and she fell several steps down the escalator," Lisa asked nervously."The fall didn't hurt her that much. She only had some minor bone fractures on her ankle. She'll be fine after resting for a couple of weeks, but..." Dr. House hesitated a little."But what?" asked Lisa."But Miss Lewis, did you get injured a lot in the last few years?" asked Dr. House.The question surprised Serenity. She wasn't sure how to answer that."I don't mean to pry. It's just that, your X-ray shows that you suffered a lot of injuries in the last few years. Some of your old injuries didn't heal properly, so there might be some complicat

When she said "Jackson Valor", his body stiffened, almost imperceptibly."Do you hate Jackson Valor?" he asked softly.She sighed a little. "Maybe. Everyone in Solaria knows who he is. The person who died in the car accident was Jackson Valor's fiancée, Mira Hall, so naturally, I wouldn't get off easy. The more people wanted to please him, the more I suffered."After a pause, she said almost self-deprecatingly, "Sometimes, I do wonder – if the person who died in the car accident wasn't Mira Hall, would I have won the case? Maybe I wouldn't have to go to prison for three years and go through all that."She was not resentful or angry, but her self-deprecation made him feel even more guilty.He was probably responsible for half the pain she suffered.He crouched down in front of her. Through his heavy bangs, his eyes stared at her fixedly. "If I had known that you would suffer so much, I would have protected you three years ago."He was not saying that because of the game. It came

"You're very light," replied Jackson. He was telling the truth. Although Serenity was over 160 cm tall, Jackson estimated that she weighed no more than 45 kg. He would make sure to feed her well from now on.She leaned her face against his back. It felt very warm. When was the last time she had been carried like this? She could only remember her mother carrying her like this when she was a child.However, the memory was very fuzzy because it was so long ago."Jack, you're so nice," she murmured."Are you going to say that I'm a nice guy again?" he asked."What I'm trying to say is, you're a really nice little brother. I'm so lucky to have a little brother like you," she said.Little brother... His eyes flickered slightly.When this game started, wasn't he the one who chose to stay by her side as a younger brother? She asked him to call her Sis.But now, it seemed like he no longer wanted her to think of him as just a younger brother. He wanted... more.Jackson carried Serenit

In the apartment, Jackson carefully placed Serenity down on a chair, then went to reheat the food that had gone cold.Looking at Jackson getting busy, Lisa changed her mind about him. She used to dislike the idea of Serenity living with a stranger, but he obviously treated Serenity very well.Lisa was glad to know that someone was taking care of her best friend like this.Lisa soon went home. Jackson and Serenity had a simple dinner together. After the meal, Serenity wanted to clean up, but Jackson said, "I'll do it. You shouldn't move around too much."Serenity thus had nothing to do.After doing the dishes, Jackson asked Serenity, "Sis, do you need to go to the bathroom?""Huh?" She was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned red."Do you need to go to the bathroom or not?" he asked, as if it was just a really ordinary question.She looked embarrassed, but finally gave a very small nod.He thus picked her up, carried her to the bathroom, and then backed out again. "Ca

"But if I get fired, I won't have any income. What do we do about rent and food?""I'll take care of them!" he said, "I'll earn enough money to support you, so don't you worry."Serenity stared at him in surprise. She knew that he was only doing odd jobs so he did not earn much, but when he said those words, it somehow gave her a sense of security.It reminded her that she was not alone. She actually had someone to rely on. She could rely on him."Call your boss." He handed her the phone.She bit her lip. In the end, she relented and called her team leader at the Sanitation Office who was responsible for managing them.At first, she thought it would be very difficult to ask for an extended leave, but to her surprise, when she said she needed a week off, the team leader immediately agreed. He even said that if a week was not enough, she could even take two weeks off. Not only that, she would still be paid the basic salary and he would not deduct her pay.Serenity was astonished.
