Obsessive CEO’s Sinful Wife

Chapter 689

“What job do you want to do?” he asked her at the time. For him, everything came so easily. He never had to put in hard work to get anything he wanted.

Some people were simply born with everything.

Working was something that he had not even thought about.

But this girl, who was a year or two younger than him, was already thinking about that kind of thing?

“I don’t know yet, but I want to do something that can bring justice to the world. I want a job that will let me protect not only myself, but also the people I love!” she said in her childish voice.

Justice?

He was born in a prestigious family, so he grew up knowing that there was no such thing as absolute justice. The so–called justice was sometimes just a lie.

But her eyes were really serious, so he could not tell her that.

After years had passed, when he finally found the little girl from back then, he found that Lynette Blossom was not doing anything that would bring justice to the world. She no longer had that righteous look in her eyes.

Instead, it was Serenity Lewis who had that look in her eyes. He could not help but laugh at the irony.

“Do you want to be a lawyer again because it’ll let you protect not only yourself, but also the people you love?” The question came out of his mouth so naturally.

Serenity looked stunned. Then, a piercing pain assaulted her head. She suddenly heard a childish voice in her mind that said, Even if you don’t do any job that can bring justice to the world, I can still protect you!”

“I’m the one protecting you right now. Can you stand?”

Pain… Her head hurt again. Who did that voice belong to?

Broken images flashed through Serenity’s mind, but she was unable to focus on those images no matter how hard she tried.

“Serenity, what’s wrong?” An anxious voice asked.

She turned towards the voice and saw the blurry face of a little boy. The boy’s face slowly merged with the face of the man in front of her.

Her head… still hurt…

She wanted to see his face more clearly…

Serenity raised her shaking hand and reached for Lucas‘ face as she mumbled, “Luke“.

The name instantly jolted Lucas back to his senses.

The face of the woman in front of him was pale and her eyes looked as if she was in some kind of pain, but her hand was touching his cheek and she was calling him by a name that he had warned her not to use ever again!

Lucas abruptly grabbed Serenity’s hand.

“Ah!” She let out a cry of shock and pain. Only then did she realize that her hand was touching his face.
