Was it because of pity? Could he not bear to see the woman who used to be in his eyes now doing such hard work? But he shouldn't bother about her at all!What had she done to have earned his ire this way?"I'm only giving you a job for Yanny's sake. At least until the court's decision, I don't want my son to live a difficult life," Wilson said. Wilson said it to Clara, but it was also for himself that he said those words."He’s my son, not yours!" Clara retorted coldly. "Mr. Birch, don't forget. You once said that even if I were really pregnant, you would make me get rid of the child. A woman like me has no right to bear your child, right? Yet, now you have the audacity to try and take my child away from me?"Wilson's expression darkened, and he approached Clara. "Since you chose to keep this child back then, you should have thought that a day like this might come."She shivered violently. "Even if it's a child you didn't want, you still won't let him stay with me?""Stay w

Upon arriving at Lucas's company, they were stopped by the staff. Even though Lisa explained their purpose and even revealed Terry's identity, it didn't make any difference. The staff merely stated that Lucas was not at the company and had no information to disclose about his current whereabouts.Lisa looked worried, and Terry reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll make a call to inquire.""Do you have Lucas's contact information?" Lisa asked, surprised."I don't, but obtaining it wouldn't be difficult," Terry said. He then proceeded to contact someone.As expected, it didn't take long before he had obtained Lucas's contact information.Lisa was highly impressed.Truly, as the head of the White family, obtaining the personal contact information of a ‘prince’ like Lucas was a daunting task for most. Yet, he had managed to obtain it so swiftly.Once obtained, Terry wasted no time calling the number. When the call connected, Lisa hurriedly said, "Is this... Mr. Gomez? I'm Lisa, Sere

At this moment, Serenity sat at the dining table, observing the three dishes and one soup served. The dishes and soup were still steaming, but their presentation was rather ordinary. It didn't quite resemble the work of a gourmet chef."I made this myself. Give it a try," Jackson said, almost as if he had sensed her curiosity.She was mildly surprised. He could... make soup and cook?"Back then, you cooked for me in the rented apartment. Now, I'm cooking for you. Is that not a good thing? If it doesn't taste good, I'll do better next time," he said with a smile.He acted as if there had been no breakup between them and the painful memories never existed.It was as though they had returned to the warmest times in their relationship.Serenity felt a bit uncomfortable and averted her gaze, not wanting to meet his eyes. His eyes were as alluring as always, stirring ripples in her otherwise calm heart."What about the servants? Why haven't I seen any other servants here?" she t

"It's an old residence that belonged to the Valor family in the past," Jackson said, not hiding the truth. "However, very few people know about this place. Throughout its history, the Valor family hasn't publicized it much."She furrowed her brow instinctively. Was he implying that it would be difficult for anyone to find her here?"Also, you're not the only one who has been kept here," he continued.She blinked, uncertain about what he meant."Once upon a time, another woman used to be imprisoned here. The house was purchased with the sole purpose of keeping that woman here," Jackson narrated as if he were telling her a story.Serenity was suddenly taken aback, feeling an unexpected chill creeping over her. Another woman had been imprisoned here?!"It was about 70 years ago, I believe. One of the Valor family's ancestors fell in love with a woman. However, the woman had a fiancé. They were deeply in love, swearing eternal commitment to each other. So, my ancestor abducted he

"Yes, we broke up," he murmured softly, "and breaking up with you is the biggest regret of my life. So, I won't allow myself to regret it any further."He intended to make her fall in love with him again and love him so deeply that she couldn't leave him!***In the evening, Serenity sat on the couch in her room. She gazed at the torn, purple floral dress she held in her hands. The dress was ripped from the neckline to one of the sleeves. Even with mending, it would be difficult to restore its original condition.As she looked at this dress that had once been so perfect but was now in this state, Serenity felt a sense of discomfort. After all, this dress had been a gift from "Luke".Even though Lucas didn't know that the little girl from his past was her, and even though he had given her the dress unintentionally, it seemed like a series of coincidences was causing all those childhood promises to be fulfilled one by one.She bit her lip and got up. Walking to a nearby cabinet, sh

Serenity looked down and silently continued her work on mending the purple dress in her hands, paying no heed to Jackson.The faint smile on his lips gradually faded. "Stop," he said.But she continued as if she hadn't heard him, her hands focused on the task.His eyes narrowed further, and the feeling of jealousy grew even stronger. It seemed as if she only had the existence of this dress in her eyes. Or perhaps, Lucas' presence in the dress."I told you to stop!" he suddenly snapped, grabbing the purple dress from her hands.Serenity let out a small cry as the needle pierced her other fingertip. A bright red drop of blood oozed from the pricked finger and dripped onto the dark floor.It hadn't been a light prick. Her blood flowed more quickly from the wound. A fair amount of blood had oozed from her fingertip in a matter of moments.Seeing this, Jackson quickly discarded the dress and crouched down, cradling Serenity's injured hand. He brought her finger to his lips, gen

"Jackson, do I have to conform to your desires, without having my own thoughts, my own concerns, and without ever making you angry?" Serenity asked. "You keep saying you love me, but have you ever respected me?"Jackson stopped his movements, and he looked up at her. It seemed that all emotions had receded from his eyes, leaving behind only a deep, cold emptiness. After a considerable pause, he finally responded, "Are you asking me to respect you?"His voice was chilly and resonated with desolation throughout the room.She smiled bitterly. "Never mind. That was foolish of me to say. If you truly respected me, you wouldn't have kept me locked up here.""I can respect you, fulfill your every desire, do whatever you ask of me... As long as you can love me and stop thinking about or missing other men," he murmured.For him, saying such words already meant he was in a subservient position.However, Serenity responded indifferently, "Your respect for me seems to come with the conditi

Her fear... was it because of him?He had just wanted to scare her, to teach her a lesson, and to demonstrate his kindness toward her. He wanted her to see what she would face if he lost respect for her.However, his chest hurt when he saw her in such a state. It was almost like he had committed self-harm. He reached over and gently wiped the tears from her face. “It’s okay. I won’t force you. Not now, and never in the future.” She stared at him dumbfoundedly, as if she couldn’t believe he was capable of saying such words.To be honest, she had never expected that she would lose control of her emotions and cry this hard. She had managed to convince herself that even if she was about to be raped, it wasn’t a big deal. She would just treat it as a blank chapter in her life. But… when she was placed in a situation where she had lost every semblance of control, images of her time in prison flashed through her mind. No matter how much she fought it off, she could never move on from

“……” 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
