Obsessive CEO’s Sinful Wife by Lil’ Bamboo

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

When Serenity had been in prison, she had been all alone. Lisa had visited her from time to time, encouraged her, and worked hard for her affairs. Otherwise, she might not have gotten out of prison alive. It was Lisa who had supported her during those three difficult years.

“She won’t,” Serenity spoke with unparalleled certainty and absolute trust in her eyes.

Somehow, Jackson had an uncomfortable feeling because of Serenity’s confidence. It seemed as though he did not want someone else to be worthy of her trust. It was as if she could give everything to that other person.

Serenity had told Jack not to wait for her and that if she was late, he should eat first. Despite that, he insisted on waiting for her to come home so that they could eat together.

Sometimes, Serenity felt they were like siblings, depending on each other in a shabby and humble rented place. Maybe this was what it felt like to have a younger brother.
