Chapter 58
The red light soon turned green.
Zeke was about to drive away, but his whole body suddenly froze when he realized that the man beside Serenity looked very familiar… The image of the only man in the whole of Solaria that he must never offend popped up in his mind.
That man looked just like Jackson Valor!
But how could it be him? How could Jackson Valor be with Serenity?! The idea itself was ridiculous!
The car behind Zeke honked, urging him to move already, but at that moment, the man beside Serenity suddenly turned around and looked up in Zeke’s direction. As soon as Zeke could see the man’s face, he felt as if the blood in his body had frozen inte ice.
Jack Jackson Valor?!
Was it really Jackson Valor?! Sure, the man’s clothes and hairstyle were different from what he remembered, but that face was simply identical to the man himself!
Zeke drove away while his body was still stiff in shock, and he could not help but doubt if what he had just seen was real.
Meanwhile, at the intersection, Serenity rubbed her eyes again and again until, at last, her eyes were clear of any sand. It looked like Jack really did get rid of it when he blew on her face. She turned to the man beside her and noticed that his gaze was focused on the other side of the road,
She asked, “What are you looking at, Jack?”
“Nothing,” he replied in a flat tone. “I just.. I think I saw someone I know.”
“Is it your friend?”
“No,” he answered, his eyes gleaming. “I’ve never considered that man to be my friend.”
Zeke simply could not go to sleep that whole night. His mind was preoccupied with the scene he had seen at the intersection earlier that day. He suspected that he might have been mistaken and that the man beside Serenity might just have been someone who looked a lot like Jackson Valor. After all, how could a powerful man like him spend any of his precious time with a woman like Serenity?
She was the woman who had killed his former fiancee, after all.
No one would ever believe that Jackson Valor had been with Serenity Lewis even if he told them.
Still, he could not suppress the uneasiness he felt at that moment.
What if it really was him? If that man really was Jackson Valor, then… he dared not imagine what would come next.
The next day, Zeke went straight to the street where Serenity was cleaning to find her.
He tactfully asked her, “Are you dating anyone right now?”
The question confounded Serenity. Never in a million years would she expect Zeke Shaw to suddenly show up first thing in the morning just to ask her such a question.
She replied, “That’s none of your business, Mr. Shaw. I’m trying to work right now, so please get out of my way.”
After that, she went back to cleaning the streets, acting as if Zeke was not even there.
Zeke’s expression turned dark, and he grabbed Serenity’s arm as he demanded, “Answer me, Serenity! I’m not here to joke with you! Who is that man that you were with yesterday?”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
