My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 1088
Serenity waited for Jackson in his room.Even if she didn't want to, there weren't many places she could be in since her area of activity was limited to the mansion. Therefore, there was no point in restlessly moving around.Jackson's room was about as big as her room. All the furniture in his room was antique. There was also a wall covered by a thick curtain.Was there also blood splattered on that wall like in the Chamber of Blood?The thought made Serenity nervous. She approached the wall and stared at the curtain, wondering what was behind it. Maybe the curtain was just decoration?Suddenly, the bathroom door opened and Jackson, who had finished his shower, walked out.He was wearing only a towel, exposing his fit and muscular upper body. His dark eyes looked straight at her, making her feel like a small animal that had fallen into a trap.He walked towards her, and she stepped back subconsciously. She tripped over something and fell backwards."Aah!" she cried out in sur

Although she didn't love him, at least she's there with him, right?Serenity felt the pressure of his weight on one of her shoulders. He looked like a person who was completely exhausted and in search of some form of support, even if it was only for a brief moment.It felt like she was his support, his only support in the world, and he would fall into a bottomless abyss if she pushed him away.That's absurd! Serenity laughed at herself for having such a ridiculous thought. There's no way she's the only support he had. It only felt that way because of how tired he looked right now."You should get some rest. I'm going back to my room," Serenity said, wanting to leave. Before she could even take a step, she felt a sense of vertigo and before she knew it, she was on his bed, and he was on top of her."Let me go!" She panicked and tried to push him away, but he only held her tighter."I won't do anything to you. I just want to hold you," he whispered as he buried his face in her sh

When he was asleep, he appeared serene and approachable. He looked like an angel, emanating no sharpness that might intimidate people.The only hint of tension was a slight furrow in his brows, which somehow made him seem more frail.Frail?Serenity almost chuckled. She was about to pull away completely from his embrace when his hand reached out and grabbed four of the fingers on her right hand.Serenity was surprised and attempted to free her fingers, but he tightened his grip even more. It almost felt like he was safeguarding something valuable, unwilling to let it go.Serenity felt defeated. After all that, she still couldn't leave. Did she really have to share a bed with him tonight?She attempted to free her hand a few more times but to no avail. She couldn't help wondering if he was actually asleep or just pretending.However, he never moved or opened his eyes. He also didn't do anything else.Serenity could only console herself that she had slept in the same bed with him

"As if I could leave the mansion," she retorted.A tiny smile twitched at the corner of his mouth, but the smile seemed weak because of his fever. "You're right, without my permission, you can't leave this place!"'Come on, is this really the time to talk about that?!' thought Serenity."Do you have any fever medicine? Your temperature is pretty high, you need medicine!" she said.He probably got a fever because of last night's rain."No," he replied faintly."Where's your phone? Call Connor, that secretary of yours, and ask him to take you to the hospital," she said."I don't need to go to the hospital," he said with a frown, "It's just a fever. I'll be fine in a couple of days.""Okay, even if you don't want to go to the hospital, you should at least ask Connor to get you some medicine," she urged.He pursed his lips, not saying anything. He then lifted the blanket covering his body and climbed out of bed."Don't tell me you're scared of taking medicine," she casually said.

"Are you hurt?" she asked and reached towards the back of his head to check for injury. She heard a loud thud earlier, which she believed was the sound of his head hitting the floor.She was too eager to check the back of his head for injury that she failed to consider their current situation.They were lying on top of each other, and as she reached out to examine the back of his head, their bodies became pressed even closer together.He took hold of her wrist and spoke in a hoarse voice, "If I tell you I'm hurt, will you feel bad for me and feel concerned for me?"She tensed up a little. When she looked down, she finally realized how close they were to each other. Her lips were almost touching his cheek.She stared at him flatly. "If you're hurt, you should contact someone outside to take you to the hospital instead of struggling with a fever here. Remember, Jackson Valor, you only live once!" He gave her a gentle smile. "I knew it. You’ll feel sad if I die."Due to the fever,

"One time, I took a few more tablets than I was supposed to out of curiosity and ended up sleeping for three days. I was hospitalized and had to get a gastric lavage. That was how we found out that the maid had switched my pills," he said, looking up at her with a hint of self-deprecation in his gaze. "That maid was the kindest person to me when I first arrived at the Valor family. Every day, she would ask how I was doing, pretend to care for me, and watch me consume the sleeping pills she prepared for me with a smile."Serenity felt extremely upset, "How could anyone do this to a child just to make their life a bit easier, so that they could go out on a date? Did she not consider the consequences?"In the worst case scenario, it could have even caused mental illnesses!Jackson sneered. "There are many more people like her in this world. They're willing to sacrifice others for minor gains."Serenity asked, "What happened to her afterwards?""The Valor family dismissed her," he s

He would consume the pills she gave him. Did that count as a form of trust?If so, how come he could have trust in the pills she gave him but not her love for him? If he had had more trust in her, they would not have broken up.Now, the trust just felt like a joke.Even though he was asleep, his brows were furrowed and he was sweating profusely.Serenity fetched a towel from the bathroom to gently wipe away his sweat.He mumbled intermittently, "Mom… Mom..." His voice was so faint that she had to lean in to hear him clearly.Was he dreaming about his mother?She recalled him mentioning that, when he was little, his mother left him and his father and ran away from home to escape poverty.He hadn't seen nor heard from her in years.She recalled the scar she saw on his chest. Although the scar had faded with age, the wound had nearly killed him.Looking at the scar, she could imagine how dangerous the situation was back then. A wound like that on a child could very well be fatal

The room was silent, and he was alone.She's... not here? He looked down at his empty hands.So even if he forced her to stay in the mansion, she wouldn't stay by his side. It was the same with his parents. No matter how hard he pleaded with his parents to stay with him, they left him one after another in their own ways.In the end, he was alone again.Alone, just like in the past... What's the big deal? Before he met her, hadn't he always been alone?The only person in this world he could rely on was himself!Despite telling himself that, his heart still hurt, and the painful sensation was quickly spreading to his whole body.Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a person walked in.Jackson stared at the approaching figure, his eyes wide with surprise."You're up. I made you some oatmeal porridge." Serenity placed the porridge down on the nightstand and reached out to check his temperature.His forehead was still a little warm but his fever had gone down. He was doing much

“……” 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!

"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
