Chapter 261 The three ordered coffee for themselves, and Liliana intentionally talked to Serenity about various topics. She kept asking about Serenity’s current job for many reasons. She just wanted to hear more about Serenity’s misery and observe Jackson’s reaction after hearing this. Jackson was calm and collected, and it seemed he was aware of Serenity’s situation. Her answers did not surprise him at all. “Serenity, why don’t I talk to the firm’s bosses? You might be able to find a job here. You can be a cleaner and do some cleaning in the office. It’s probably better than being a sanitation worker,” Liliana pretentiously suggested, pretending to help. Serenity’s gaze darted up to Liliana and turned cold. “I don’t plan to change jobs.” “Seriously?” Liliana grimaced, “You’ll earn more working as a cleaner in an office than sweeping the road. Won it?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“I think I know exactly what I want to do,” Serenity said, her tone gradually becoming ice-cold. you consider Liliana wanted to say something else, but Benjamin stopped her. Fortunately, the waiter served the coffee, temporarily halting the topic. “Here. This coffee is quite expensive, and it tastes better when hot,” Liliana explained. Jackson picked up the coffee gracefully. He sniffed the aroma of the coffee and took a sip. Liliana studied the man in front of her. Jackson somehow reminded her of one of those idol stars, and the image of him drinking coffee was pleasing to the eye. “Mr. Valor, how did you and Serenity meet?” Liliana asked curiously. “She came to talk to me on a snowy day, and we got to know each other,” Jackson said, smiling. “Huh? Just like that?! Isn’t that too simple? Liliana thought to herself and added, “That means Serenity is the one who pursued you?” Jackson glanced at Serenity and answered, “I guess so.”
Serenity was drinking milk tea with her head down and almost spat out her drink. When had she ever pursued him?! Liliana had clearly misunderstood Serenity’s relationship with Jackson. Serenity seemed unperturbed by Liliana’s misunderstanding. She did not bother to explain and let Jackson say whatever he wanted. “Serenity is so lucky to have a handsome man like you. How long have you two known each other?” Liliana continued asking- “A few months,” Jackson answered with rare patience. “I see.” Liliana snuck a glance at Serenity. Then, she mentioned, as if unintentionally, “I’ve always hoped that Serenity would find someone to rely on after getting out of prison. Her life in prison must have been a blow to her. She finally has a boyfriend like you, Mr. Valor. That’s really…” Liliana suddenly stopped speaking halfway through and saw Jackson smiling at her, almost as if he knew all her little thoughts, The rest of her words kept getting caught in her throat, and she could not continue speaking anymore. “Why don’t you just keep talking? Really what?” Jackson c ocked an eyebrow. Liliana continued sleepishly, “That’s really generous of you. After all, Serenity is an ex-convict. Not many men would accept someone who has been in jail.” “I don’t mind at all,” Jackson said and turned to Serenity datingly, “I don’t mind what has happened to her. I just want her to stay by my side.”
