Obsessive CEO’s Sinful Wife by Lil’ Bamboo

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.

‘Lifesaver?’ Thoughts flickered in Jackson’s eyes. Lisa seemed to hold an unusual place in Serenity’s heart. “But isn’t it ridiculous to regard someone as a lifesaver? If your lifesaver abandons you one day, wouldn’t that give you more despair?”

“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.

Soon, Serenity had an increase in workload. As the higher authorities were coming to inspect the Sanitation Office over the next few days, some overtime was required.

Fortunately, Jack would prepare the food and wait for her to get home, and this warmed her heart.

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.

Serenity cleaned the streets she was in charge of in the early morning and returned to the Sanitation Office. After putting the tools away, she stood in the empty space in front of the entrance.
