Chapter 193
In the past, when life was good, she would often try to lose weight. She was worried of growing fat because she would not look good in certain clothes.
Now, she no longer had to worry about that. She had lost weight, but she no longer had to consider if it would make her look good in certain clothes, What she needed to consider when it came to clothes was the practicality of the clothes, their resistance to wear and tear, how long they would last.
Sometimes it’s funny to think about.
She wanted something, so she worked desperately to achieve it, but now that she had achieved it, she found that she no longer cared about the thing she desperately wanted in the first place.
She smiled self–deprecatingly. She still could not figure out why Jackson Valor insisted on calling her Sis as if he cared about her and missed the time they spent together.
Was he interested in her?
He sometimes acted as if he really liked her, but she could not help wondering if that was also an act
Serenity shook her head and decided not to think about it anymore. She could only take things as they came.
After she took a quick shower and walked out of the bathroom, she found him sitting on the mattress, waiting for her to say good night to him before he went to sleep, just like before.
She walked up and said a little awkwardly, “Good night.” After saying that, she quickly climbed into bed and buried herself under her blanket.
Right now, all she wanted was to fall asleep so that the night would be over as soon as possible.
But before she could even close her eyes, he leaned closer and said, “Sis, you haven’t called me Jack once the whole evening. I want to hear you call me that.
Her throat tightened. If she were to turn her back to him and close her eyes now, it would seem too deliberate.
But if she were to keep facing him…….
“Didn’t you promise me you would act like you did in the past tonight?” he asked.
Serenity bit her lip. Before this, he was acting by himself, but now he wanted her to act along with him?
“Good night, Jack” In the end, she said the name.
It had only been a bit over a month since she found out that Jack was Jackson Valor, but it felt like such a long time ago, as if Jack was someone from her previous life.
He gave her a little sinile, lowered his head slightly and moved a bit closer.
She knew what he wanted. In the past, before going to bed, she would often ruffle his hair and express her envy of his soft, lush, hair.
After a while, ruffling his hair before going to bed became a habit for them.
He wanted her to ruffle his hair.
Serenity placed her hand on Jackson’s head gently. Her fingers slowly slid into his hair. She ruffled hals hair just like before.
But the feeling in her heart was different now.
He rubbed the top of his head against her palm and mumbled, “As expected, being with you makes me feel at ease.”
His words felt like a mockery to Serenity.
Feel at ease?

She could not feel at ease at all due to his presence, Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
After getting his hair ruffled, Jackson finally returned to his mattress and went to turn off the light.
“Don’t turn it off!” said Serenity. Seeing his inquiring eyes, she said rather awkwardly, “If you turn it off, I… don’t think I can fall asleep.”
He stared at her for a moment, seemingly in deep thought, before he smiled and said, “Okay, let’s leave the light on then.”
She heaved a sigh of relief, then lay down and closed her eyes. Some time later, she heard him ask, “Sis, have you ever hated someone?”
