Chapter 251
It was like
a
special seed that was deeply rooted in the bottom of Jackson's heart and gradually grew into his bones. It couldn't be erased.
When Jackson first met Cece, he was only 12 years old.
But he had already felt melancholy at that time.
He was not a carefree child of a wealthy family. On the contrary, he kept thinking about how great it would be if he wasn't born into the Bane family and hadn't become Roderick's son.
Roderick was a playboy. Before Jackson was born, Roderick already had three kids, all of whom were illegitimate.
Jackson's mother Yvonne, Roderick's lawful wife, gave birth to his only legitimate son, Jackson. But Jackson lived a hard life in his family.
At that time, Yvonne hadn't completely given up on Roderick. She hated him for being playful, but she also hoped that he could love her again.
Yvonne felt disappointed and sad countless times and cried all the time.
She couldn't even control her emotions in front of Jackson. She even burst into tears while talking to him.
That was what Jackson's childhood was like.
It was filled with his father's indifference and neglect and his mother's hysteria.
All that made his childhood upsetting.
Roderick's preference for his illegitimate children contrasted sharply with his harshness and indifference for Jackson.
It seemed that in his father's eyes, he was born with sin and didn't deserve any favor.
At first, Jackson would feel aggrieved and confused. But later, he got used to it.
He and his mother had been given up and forgotten by the whole Bane family.
They had the highest status but lived the most humble life.
The quarrels, crying, tears, his brothers' show-off, and his father's disgusted eyes all hurt Jackson when he was a child.
If it weren't for his grandfather, the whole Bane family wouldn't have taken them seriously.
Jackson didn't know when he began to hide his feelings.
Indifference became his best disguise.
He became silent, indifferent, and mature.
He started to try his best to learn everything he could.
Knowledge, sports, skills, connections, and so on.
Because he wanted to be stronger.
He had realized long ago that he couldn't rely on anyone but only himself.

Only by becoming strong could he be invincible.
Then he could protect his mother and his dignity,

His hard work paid off. Although he wasn't favored, he was still the most talented child of the Bane family.
Even his grandfather couldn't help but praise him, saying that he had the capacity to inherit the Bane family.
As for Roderick, Jackson had long lost the feelings he should have for his father. He no longer regarded Roderick as his father, but just as a stranger who lived in the same place with hirt. As for Yvonne, Jackson only hoped that he could try his best to make her smile more and cry less.
Since Jackson grew up in such an unblessed environment, his personality was fickle and forbearing. Indifference was his disguise, but he still kept a small part of softness at the bottom of his heart.
He thought he would just grow up like this, becoming a cold and fickle monster.
Until one day he went to the Saint Yales Resort with Yvonne for their holiday.
This resort was located in Berdon Mountain near Jeahron and had beautiful scenery and high-end facilities, so it attracted many noble people to spend their vacation there. Yvonne wanted to go there to relax herself, so Jackson joined her.
The resort was beautiful indeed.
There were lush forests and gorgeous flower fields.
Jackson had never seen those before.
But he didn't expect that he would meet someone whom he would remember all his life there.
It was a warm afternoon.
Jackson wandered in the sunlight aimlessly.
In the eyes of other people, he was a good-looking but indifferent, unapproachable, and silent boy.
Along the way, many people peeped at Jackson, but no one dared to get close to him and talk to him.
But then a little girl suddenly bumped into his arms.
She was a head shorter than Jackson. Her height could only reach his chin.
Jackson didn't like strangers getting close to him, especially touching his body like this.
Therefore, in the face of such an unexpected situation, he couldn't help frowning and even wanted to reach out and push
her away.
However, the little girl raised her head.
Her whole body was dirty, and even her face was also stained. He wondered if she had rolled in mud, or he couldn't imagine how her face could be so dirty. He couldn't see her facial features clearly except for her
eyes.
He had never seen such a pair of eyes before.

They were beautiful, clear, and innocent.
They were clean and pure.
"Sir." The little girl smiled and handed him a bunch of light blue baby's breath. She said in a sweet voice, "Do you wanna buy some flowers?"
It was the first time that someone called Jackson like that.
His attention was completely attracted by that.
Her voice sounded sweet and gentle.
It struck his soul.
"What's your name?" this indifferent and silent boy asked awkwardly.
He shouldn't have cared about that, and he didn't need to know the girl's name.
But he just subconsciously asked that.
The little girl blinked. Her pure eyes seemed to be filled with golden light. "Cece.
"My name is Cece."
"Cece? How to spell it?" Jackson couldn't help asking again.
"CECE," the little girl replied patiently.
Jackson slightly lowered his eyes and quietly memorized the name.
"Sir, do you want to buy these flowers?" The girl pursed her lips and looked at Jackson with a look that he could hardly refuse.
He felt that he would be a bad guy if he refused to buy them.
Jackson smiled.
He was wearing a big baseball cap so half of his face was covered.
The little girl could only see the raised corner of his mouth.
She also smiled. Her eyes looked so bright.
In the end, Jackson bought the baby's breath in her hands.
It was the baby's breath. He had never noticed this breed before.
But because of Cece, he felt that this kind of flower seemed to be beautiful as well.
After saying goodbye to Cece, Jackson turned around and wanted to go back.
He wanted to give this bouquet of flowers to Yvonne.
However, something happened when he was on his way back.
A bunch of well-trained men in black appeared in front of him. They not only blocked his way but also surrounded him.
It was a remote path where few people would pass by.

But he got himself in trouble.

Those people came prepared. They even held iron rods in their hands, looking so fierce as if they wanted to kill him.
