Chapter 183 “You can go back now,” Jackson told Connor who had followed him inside. Connor’s eyes widened slightly in surprise, but having worked for Jackson for many years, he naturally understood that some questions should be left unasked. “Yes, Mr. Valor,” Connor replied before leaving the house. Since Mr. Valor told him to go back, did that mean Mr. Valor was going to stay here tonight? There were only two people left in the rental house Jackson and Serenity. He helped her take off her shoes and jacket, covered her in a blanket, pulled a chair over and sat down next to the bed. He had not been here for a while. All the “traces” he left in the house were gone. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Did she throw away all the stuff he used? The thought made him frown. It made him feel uncomfortable. Serenity, who was sleeping on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes. She tried to get out of bed. “What’s wrong?” he asked. She said blurrily, “Water… I want water..” She must be thirsty after drinking so much wine. Jackson sighed and made her sit back down on the bed. “Sit still. I’ll go get you some water!” If he let her go get water by herself, she might accidentally burn herself with hot water. He went over to the small table where the thermos was placed. He knew that she usually kept a glass of cold water ready so that when she wanted to have some water in winter, she could mix the cold water with hot water to get warm water. He took a glass and mixed some warm water for her, then brought it back to the bedside. Luckily, she listened to him and remained seated. She was sitting obediently on the bed like a schoolchild. Jackson could not help but chuckde. She seemed to have heard that. She lifted her head and looked at him with half-opened eyes. Her
cheeks were flushed and her lips were really red too. “Water, water. She urged, but she maintained her sitting posture. It looked so cute to him. “Okay, okay, here’s your water,” he said as he carefully handed her the glass. She reached out, grabbed the glass of water, and gulped it all down. Then, she heaved a long, satisfied sigh and smiled at him. “Thank you,” she said. “Is that enough? Do you want some more?” he asked. She c ocked her head as if struggling to understand the meaning of his words, then mumbled, “Sleepy… I wanna sleep…” “Then lie…” Before he could say the word “down”, she reached out and pulled him down. He was caught by surprise and ended up being pulled onto the bed In an instant, she was on top of him, smiling gently. Her hand caressed his face. “Jack…” Her gentle voice filled his ears. Her sweet breath carried the scent of wine, intoxicating him “How come you’re so good looking?”
