Once she hung up the phone, Serene Silas turned her head to look at the man who was beside her and said "Jackie, are we being too cruel by doing this?"
"Shh!" Jackie Leves made a gesture of silence and mouthed to Serene, "Tricking them with their own game is the way the lure a snake out of its hole. It's not that we don't want the girl to know the truth, but the thing is, our enemy has placed too many spies around her. Once we tell her the truth, the enemy will immediately catch wind of it, then everything we have accomplished would have been in vain."
Nathaniel Cooper had been protecting Karen Joy Kyle all the time. He wanted to avoid her making any appearances before the public eye. He did not want anyone to know about their private relationship, so as to prevent those people from targeting her.
However, no matter how thorough his protection was, she had still been discovered by the enemies. They knew that there was a girl that Nathaniel cared deeply about.
It was obvious. They now knew how important she was in Nathaniel's heart. Hence, how could such sly enemies give up such a perfect opportunity?
Looking at Serene's furrowed brows and worried eyes, Jackie added, "We'll just have to let the girl be distressed for a while. It's an inevitable sacrifice we must make. Then, they will be able to live freely in the future."
"But..." Serene was still a little worried.
Because she had experienced the pain of losing her beloved man, she could understand the pain that Karen Joy was experiencing right now.
"It's alright, Serene! Just do as I say," Jackie said reassuringly as he rubbed her head. "Don't forget that your man is by your side. He will deal with everything for you. Now, go to sleep."
With him by her side, there were a lot of things that she didn't have to worry about. He would settle them well, but Serene was still worried about Karen Joy. "Jackie..."
"Why won't you listen to me?" Jackie glanced at her and saw that she still wanted to discuss the issue, so he simply lowered his head and kissed her supple lips, instantly sealing her mouth.
Perhaps men would always use a kiss to seal their beloved woman's lips shut, whenever the women were saying words they did not want to hear.
All because a kiss could distract them from their initial worries. Except for accepting the kiss and kissing him back, they would not be able to think of anything else.
This time, Jackie kissed Serene so passionately that they ended up in bed. They even moved on to more intimate forms of physical contact. Serene was so tired after the tryst that she was no longer in the mood to think about Karen Joy.
If it wasn't because there were some important issues awaiting his action, Jackie would not stop making love to her. Throughout their relationship, Jackie could make love to her multiple times in a night. Just doing it once was definitely not his style. Looking at the woman in his arms, who was so tired and had fallen asleep, Jackie's gaze was soft and gentle. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead as he whispered to her, "Goodnight!"
"Mm." Even in her dreams, Serene could hear his voice and replied to him with a soft tone.
"Silly woman, you are so cute even when you're asleep." He really wanted to pounce on her and make love to her again, but there was no time for him to mess around tonight.
He gently pushed Serene out of his embrace, but as he pushed her, she was so frightened that her body trembled. She hugged him tightly and said in a low voice, "Jackie, don't leave me!"
She was still afraid!
She was afraid that he would leave her.
She was afraid that history would repeat itself.
For the past few nights, she had been talking in her dreams. She would always wake up in the middle of the night because of a nightmare. Those dreams had not been disturbing her that frequently in recent times, but on that day, it started again.
She must have thought of what had happened more than a year ago because of what had happened to Karen Joy earlier that night, which was why she had the nightmare again.
"Serene, I'm here." Jackie took her back into his arms again, patted her back gently, and comforted her patiently. It was not until she had really fallen asleep that he gently got out of the bed.
