Chapter 42
She gently combed his fringe and trimmed the fringe little by little with a pair of scissors. She looked very focused. All her concentration was on the fringe. She did not even notice the pair of beautiful eyes under the fringe watching her.
Jackson stared at her. Her face was slightly red due to the cold weather. He looked at her pretty eyes, her small nose, her pink lips, and her beautiful face. The more he looked at her, the harder he found it to look away. Under the light, her body seemed
to emanate a warm aura.
“Okay, it’s done.” After a while, he suddenly heard her say.
“It’s done?” he asked. All the time he spent with her seemed to pass by very quickly.
“Mm–hmm.” She smiled and took two steps back to scrutinize him. “It’s not bad. My skills are pretty good. We saved a few dollars.”
She chuckled, then took a dry towel and helped him dust off some of the fine strands of hair that had fallen onto his face, neck
and clothes.
“All right, go take a shower,” said Serenity.
Jackson nodded, took a change of clothes and walked into the small bathroom. He let warm water wash over his body. He looked down and saw the scar on his chest.
Time had passed and the scar had now become very shallow, but every time he saw it, it still reminded him of that woman.
The woman who had abandoned him and his father.
This wound was probably the only thing that woman left for him.
At the time, he knelt and begged her not to leave him and his father, but she ruthlessly pushed him away and left without looking back.
