Chapter 1022

Penulis: Anastasia Marie
Lisa looked around the area and noticed that there were many other food stalls nearby, and there was a pretty heavy traffic of people coming and going here as well.

"You guys haven't had dinner yet, have you? I'll fry up some noodles for you, okay? Then you can have a taste of my cooking skills!"

"Great!" Lisa cried in joy. When she thought of it, she realized that she had never tried Clara's cooking before!

"What about you?" Serenity asked Clara with concern. "You haven't had dinner either, have you?"

"I can just grab a bite later," Clara smiled. "I've got my own food stall, after all! There's no way I'll let myself starve!"

After that, Clara quickly fried up some noodles and served it up for Serenity and Lisa. The two sat down at a small table and proceeded to dig in. As they ate, they sang praises of how good the food was.

"It's a million times better than my mom's cooking!" cried Lisa.

"Is your mom still the one cooking at home?" Serenity asked.

"Of course, she is! She has

    Nevertheless, Clara hastily stepped forward and apologized in an attempt to appease those men, offering, "Let me replace your dishes with fresh ones, and I promise you a free meal the next time you visit my stall. Is that okay?""You think you can get rid of us that easily?! You've got flies in your food! What if we get ill and get hospitalized? What are you going to do with the bills, then? Besides, we're not eating your disgusting food again even if it's free!""Yeah! Just shut up and pay us!""Exactly! Pay us or don't even dream of doing business here again!"The three men kept talking in turns. One of them even managed to produce a dead fly and dangled it in front of Clara, almost as if he was trying to show her that they had solid proof.By then, all the other customers had stopped eating and began watching the interesting scene unfolding in front of them.Clara knew, of course, that the men were trying to blackmail her, but she had no way to prove that the men had planted t

    "We're not leaving without you, Clare! Just leave the stall for now!"Serenity then pulled Clara's arm as she speedily dialed 911 on her phone. Meanwhile, Lisa picked up a chair nearby and hurled it toward the three men, shouting, "Let's run together for now! It's obvious these b*stards are here to cause trouble! I'll let Terry deal with all of them later!"It was too bad that Terry was not there with her right now, so all she could do was find a way to protect herself like this!"Hello?" As soon as the call went through, Serenity hastily informed the operator, "Is this 911? Some men are causing trouble here, and they're trying to hurt me and my friends…""D*mn it!" yelled one of the men. "She's calling the police! We've got to grab her phone now!"He then rushed toward Serenity, and just as she was booking it while reporting her location, a figure flashed past her, and all she could hear next was a muffled voice. She then saw the man who had appeared out of nowhere completely get

    "No… I'm not hurt."Lisa stared at her boyfriend who had just appeared so suddenly and asked him, "How did you know I was here?"She did not remember ever telling him exactly where she was!"You're one to ask!" he snapped. Lisa had screamed suddenly when they were still on the phone, and Terry could clearly hear the voices of men shouting and yelling in the background, and he had almost panicked.But just then, the little idiot had hung up the phone, and she would not answer no matter how many times Terry called her after that. He was so distressed that his whole body had broken out in cold sweat. He could only base her location on what she had mentioned in passing–that she was at a food stall by the roadside. He had flown to the area with lots of food stalls which should have been a twenty-minute journey, but he had made it in only ten minutes–he was not even sure how much he would have to pay later for the speeding tickets!"Next time," he reminded her, almost half-shouting, "if

    On the way to the police station, Lisa recounted everything that had happened at the food stall to Terry. As he listened to her, his eyebrows furrowed. It looked like he owed Jackson's two bodyguards for saving the day today, otherwise, the three women might never have escaped the thugs at all!"Should I hire bodyguards to protect you as well?" he asked."No!" Lisa refused right away. "I don't want that! It would only suffocate me! I'd feel like I'm being watched all the time, and that's really uncomfortable!""But…"Lisa raised her hand and said, "I swear that the next time I'm in danger, I'll call you immediately! Cross my heart and hope to die!"The sight almost made Terry burst out laughing.Once they reached the police station, Serenity took up the task of reporting what had just happened to the police. She even showed them the voice recording in her phone before handing the three men over to the authorities.Once all the paperwork was done, Lisa turned to her friend and sa

    The corners of Serenity’s lips were upturned. With a smile, she replied, “Alright, understood.” Lisa was like a ball of light in this dark world to her. Whenever she felt down or lost, Lisa would always pull her along, and she had never lost faith in her. Lisa and Terry got into their car while Serenity entered the black Bentley. Lisa watched as the Bentley drove off before she grunted to Terry, who was seated next to her, “Alright, let’s go.” He proceeded to drive away from the police station. “Where do you want to go next?” he asked her. “Home, of course. Where else can we go?” replied Lisa with a bored tone. “If you’re not in a good mood, why don’t we watch a movie to cheer you up?” he suggested. “Forget it. A movie’s not gonna cheer me up. The only thing that could cheer me up would be seeing you do a striptease,” Lisa blurted out unwittingly. She remembered vaguely that Terry had done such a thing, but because she had been flat-out drunk, she struggled to recollect her

    “Well… not yet! I’m just wondering if I’m pregnant or not,” explained Lisa hastily. She shifted her body uncomfortably when she noticed Terry’s unmoving stare on her belly. “I’ve missed my period this month,” she added.Terry contemplated in silence. If what she was saying was true, these really were the symptoms of a pregnancy. But if she was pregnant, then he…“We’ll find out if you’re pregnant at the hospital tomorrow,” he said. The thought of having to do a pregnancy blood test at the hospital sent prickles through Lisa’s scalp. “Umm, maybe we can start with a pregnancy stick first? We’ll find out either way, right?” “...” Terry stared silently at her. “Are you afraid of needles?” Lisa nodded honestly. “Let’s buy a pregnancy kit later if we pass by a pharmacy. You know what, let’s buy a few from different brands, just to make sure.” And so, Terry drove over to a pharmacy and bought one of each pregnancy test kit that they were selling. The woman working the cashier ga

    “Did I let you down?” asked Lisa with a sniffle. With a smile, Terry replied, “It’s not like you can help it. If you’re not pregnant, so be it. We just have to wait a while before we have kids of our own. You can come out now.” “I can’t!” yelled Lisa with a pained expression. “I’m on my period, but I didn’t bring any pads with me. Can you go out and buy them for me?” Terry’s face stiffened up immediately. “You’re asking me to buy you pads?” This was the second time his voice had cracked tonight. “Yeah! Unless you want me to bleed all over your floor.” To convince him, Lisa deliberately emphasized the word ‘bleed’.“I’ll get one of the servants to buy them,” said Terry. “No!” yelled Lisa. “It’s embarrassing to ask a servant to buy such a thing. Can’t you just help me buy it? You know, back in university, I always admired guys who could buy these things for their girlfriends. I even fantasized that one day, my future boyfriend would buy it for me.” Terry couldn’t wrap his he

    Lisa suddenly realized what it felt like to be pampered. Now that she thought about it, aside from her parents, Terry was the only person she had met who was willing to go so far for her. She groaned and leaned back into the sofa. Terry noticed the pained expression on her face, so he couldn’t help but ask, “Does it hurt?” “Yeah,” she replied. “You men are so lucky that you don’t have to experience this every month.” Terry reached over and massaged her belly gently. “Does this make it better?” “Yeah, it’s good. Keep doing that,” urged Lisa. And so, the great patriarch of the White household sat there on the sofa, gently massaging his partner’s belly. Lisa, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying every second of it. She closed her eyes, and from time to time, she would mumble, “Mmh, don’t stop, keep going… ahh.” Terry was rendered speechless. Wasn’t she aware how easily she could cause a misunderstanding with the stuff she was uttering?! Of course, Lisa didn’t think that

    “……” Morgan suddenly found himself unable to retort. She... wasn't wrong. “But when you play house, you can pretend to be parents with one person today and another person tomorrow. Real marriage is different; you can’t choose someone else.”Renee widened her eyes, listening intently.“The only person you can choose is me. Do you understand, Renee?” he continued.She nodded vigorously. “I understand!”“Do you really?” Morgan asked, a little skeptical. He was already fifteen, so he could grasp the concept of marriage, but she was only eight. Could she truly comprehend it?“So, in the future, I can only marry Morgan and be your bride, right? I can't be someone else's bride, right?” she asked. “I don’t want to marry other boys anyway. I like you the most, Morgan. Of course I’ll only be your bride!” she happily declared, her worries fading away.So she could be Morgan's bride when she grew up! That's great!After finishing another piece of snack, Renee thought of something. She put o

    Despite her unease, she couldn’t resist when she saw the sweet desserts. She indulged herself.However, as she ate, her eyes remained fixed on Morgan, clearly still waiting for him to clarify Lucy’s claims.“You want to know if you’re a child bride, right?” Morgan began.Renee nodded.“Do you know what a child bride is?” he asked.She blinked. She had a vague idea, but not enough for her to articulate it.“To put it simply, a child bride is a girl raised by a boy's family. The girl will marry the boy when she comes of age. In the old days, some families were too poor to raise their daughters, so they would sell their daughters to become child brides for richer families,” Morgan explained.Renee blinked. “But my parents aren’t poor, and I'm raised by them, not by other people. That means I’m not a child bride, right?”“Correct, you are not,” Morgan affirmed.She breathed a sigh of relief, and a bright smile spread across her face. “I knew it! My parents would never sell me! The

    "Morgan!" Renee turned to Morgan, unease etched on her face."The Moon family, eh? I'll remember this," Morgan replied calmly, then lowered his head to meet Renee's anxious and confused face. "Let's go, Renee. I’ll tell you what you want to know later."He led her away holding her hand.Benson looked worried. "Miss Lucy, how could you say that?""It's the truth!" Lucy shook off her fear and spoke defiantly. "Daddy and Mommy said she’s a child bride. A child bride is a girl sold by her own parents!""But the White family is not like that. Those things only happened to daughters of poor families in the old days," Benson explained. "You really shouldn’t have said that, Miss Lucy. You shouldn’t do that again.""Why do I have to listen to you?" Lucy retorted, displeased.Benson was too ashamed to tell Lucy in front of others that the Moon family simply couldn’t afford to offend Morgan. Dealing with the White family was already a headache, and Morgan's background was even more formi

    Benson and Lucy were also dumbfounded. Benson started getting anxious. He felt like things were starting to unfold in ways that he did not expect."Mr. Grimes, I..." Benson stepped forward, intending to speak to Mr. Grimes.However, Mr. Grimes moved past Benson without so much as a glance at him. He went up to Morgan and said, "Master Morgan, I apologize for the oversight!"Everyone was stunned to hear that, including the security guards who had been called over. They were secretly relieved they hadn't forcibly removed anyone yet. If they had offended someone Mr. Grimes was showing so much respect to, it would have been really bad for them!Morgan regarded Mr. Grimes with an unreadable expression. He calmly recounted the situation to Mr. Grimes.After hearing about what happened, Mr. Grimes responded, "This set of stamps was not pre-ordered. If you like it, please take it. Feel free to take anything else in the exhibition that catches your eye."This declaration shocked every

    "Who are you?!" Benson exclaimed, astonished. The mysterious figure remained silent, simply looking at Morgan.Morgan calmly reiterated to Benson, "I said, wait for Mr. Grimes." He then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "I'm Morgan Wood. Please have Mr. Grimes from Lazy Cat Culture come to the Sleepy Cat Exhibition in Solaria. He should be in the area, right?"After ending the call, the person on the other end stared at the phone in disbelief.The Sleepy Cat Exhibition? What's going on?Benson, Lucy, and the staff stared at Morgan in shock, but the look in their eyes quickly turned to ridicule."Ah, a young man's naive bravado – how impudent!" Benson scoffed."Sir, please don't cause trouble," the staff member warned. "Or I'll have to call security."Morgan simply lowered his head to say to Renee, "Looks like we'll be here for a while. If you're bored, I can ask someone to walk around with you."Renee shook her head. "Morgan, what if this stamp set has really been p

    Benson's words were not only meant to exert pressure on the staff, but also to inform him that they were on the same side.As expected, when the staff heard what he said, there was an instant change in his expression. He turned to Morgan and Renee and said, "I'm sorry, but it turns out this stamp set has already been pre-ordered by this customer."Morgan saw through the so-called pre-order as nothing more than an act. "When I asked you to wrap it up earlier, I didn’t hear you mention it was pre-ordered.""We forgot to mention that. Our apologies," the staff replied.Lucy, wearing a smug expression, raised her chin at Renee, causing Renee to puff out her cheeks in frustration.Benson calmly observed Morgan and Renee. The White family's White Maple Group had numerous overlapping businesses with the Moon Group. They were often competing with each other. Originally, the White Maple Group’s business activities weren't concentrated in Solaria, so even though there was competition wi

    But before Morgan had even finished speaking, a girl's voice piped up, "I want this stamp set!"He turned to the voice and, upon seeing who it was, narrowed his eyes slightly. It was Lucy Moon, the girl Renee mentioned earlier. At the sight of Lucy, Renee immediately reacted like an angry little kitten. "Lucy Moon, why do you always try to take my stuff away?""Your stuff? How is this your stuff? You haven't paid yet!" Lucy shot back, her eyes fixed on Morgan.Morgan was well-known in their class, admired by many girls who claimed he was even more handsome than movie stars. If only Lucy had a big brother like that! She would be the envy of all the girls in class... no, all the girls in school!Unfortunately, her own big brother was not as good-looking.Last time, Lucy had tried to give Renee Sleepy Cat toys, asking for Morgan's email address in return. However, Renee accepted gifts from everyone but her, which infuriated Lucy."But if you want, I can give this stamp set to Re

    Unlike many wealthy kids, Renee was quite restrained with her spending. She had never spent recklessly and often saved leftover money. Of course, when she wanted something beyond her budget, she would act cute and ask her Daddy or Morgan to buy it for her.Lisa was the least susceptible to her charms, so Renee didn’t dare to bother her!When they arrived at the exhibition, Renee’s eyes sparkled with excitement. There were so many adorable Sleepy Cat merchandise! They're all so cute! She wanted a lot of them, but realizing her limited budget, she knew she needed a sponsor! The best one was right beside her: Morgan!"Morgan," she said, flashing him a super bright smile.Seeing her like this, Morgan immediately knew she wanted to ask him for something. "What is it? Do you want me to buy you Sleepy Cat merchandise?""You’re so smart, Morgan! No wonder so many girls in our class like you and asked me for your phone number!" Renee praised him.As soon as she mentioned it, Morgan'

    "Okay," Renee replied obediently, snuggling up to Morgan and acting cute. "Take me to the exhibition, Morgan! I know you’re the best. You’ll definitely take me, right?"Morgan pursed his lips. At 15, he was no longer a little boy. Although Renee was only 8, she was his destined wife.He had been protecting her since the day she was born. At first, he thought that he would only marry her because according to the family prophecy, she was the one most suitable for him. Over the years, however, he realized that his feelings for her ran deeper than he had initially thought.He found himself wanting to help her fulfill her wishes, and would clean up the mess when she caused trouble. Things had become different from what he had expected, but he welcomed them. He felt grateful that she was the one who was destined for him!With her by his side for the rest of his life, he would never feel lonely."Will you get into fights again?" Morgan asked."No more fighting, I promise!" Renee quickly
