He had just gotten off work at the time when he had seen Serenity kneeling on the side of the road, trying her best to comfort acrying little girl. She had sung to the girl, danced, and made all kinds of silly and funny moves in an attempt to cheer the girl up without caring about how the people around her might think, and in the end, she had succeeded in making; the girl stop

crying

After that, she had bought the girl abun and stood there while reporting to the police, never leaving the girl’s side until her parents came to take her safely home.

Eventually, the police had returned with the girls family. The parents had tried to give her a hundred dollars for helping keep their daughter safe, even stuffing the money into her hands, but all she had done was smile and shake her head firmly,

refusing to accept even a single cent.

Once the girl had finally left with her parents, Serenity stood quietly in the same spot, staring at the young family walk away with a peaceful smile on her face,

At that moment, Peter was suddenly hit by a realization that what he really wanted was a calm and level–headed woman Serenity. He had no idea if this counted as love at first sight, but he knew that it was the first time in his life for him to fall love with a woman in such a fashion.

“Even if you don’t mind it,” Serenity continued, “what about your parents? Would they let you marry a woman who’s been in prison before?”

Peter froze. The color drained from his face, and he became slightly pale.

“Marriage isn’t about two people,” said Serenity. “It’s about two families. You don’t even know what my family is like. Besides, 1 don’t have any feelings for you, so please just stop wasting your time with me.”

After speaking, Serenity headed to a sink and washed her hands.

Peter stond aside in a daze, almost as if her words were a huge blow to him. Just when Serenity was done washing her hands. and was about to leave, he suddenly uttered, “But what if I manage to persuade my parents to accept you.”

She paused and then turned toward him as she said, “That doesn’t change anything. If I really liked you, I’d stay by your side even if your parents don’t approve of me. I’d be by your side till the day your parents finally gave in. But the truth is, I only regard you as a colleague, nothing more. I don’t have any feelings for you at all.”

She could not have spoken in a harsher or more blant way than that.

Peter’s face became even more sickly and pale now. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Just as she was about to head home, Serenity noticed that there was a familiar figure when she walked out of the Sanitation Office entrance, and this person seemed to be eagerly waiting for her.

“Jack!“” she shouted, running up toward him. “What are you doing here?”

“I got off work early today,” he explained before talking her hand as if it was the most natural thing to do, “so I came here to pick you up.”

At that moment, Peter walked out of the entrance and bumped into them. He nodded his head at then awkwardly before heading straight toward the parking lot

Jackson casually asked, “Have you rejected hirm, Sis?”

“I did,” she replied, although she felt that she might have hurt Peter’s feelings with her words. Still, it was kitler to let him down now instead of dragging the whole thing out indelinitely,

“Actually, I think he shouldn’t have wasted his time on me at all. He can find a much better woman than me.

Serenity knew that she was no great beauty, and besides, she had a lowly job and even had a criminal record, so she just could not figure out why Peter would be so persistent in pursuing her.

“You’ve got it all wrung,” Jackson corniscted her. “It’s you whi

rves a much better. thon that guy. He’s not worthy of

you,”

Serenity smiled but did not take those words to heart.
