"My body... feels weak," he said, trying to take the bowl from her again.Seeing his condition, Serenity said, "Never mind. I'll feed you. You might spill the porridge."She sat on a chair beside the bed, then scooped some porridge, blew on it, and slowly offered it to him.He obediently ate it, like a puppy.However, his intense gaze made her uneasy."The woman you mentioned last time, did she really kill someone in the Chamber of Blood?" She broke the silence, attempting to initiate a conversation."That's right," Jackson answered."She killed a member of the Valor family, but the Valor family let her off just like that?" Serenity was perplexed. After all, the Valor family was already a powerful family seventy years ago."The man she killed wanted to spare her. Before he died, he left a suicide note stating that it's his own fault if he died and no one was to pursue the matter," explained Jackson.Serenity wondered if he had anticipated that the woman would kill him. It wa

Jackson seemed to know what she was thinking. He said, "Don't worry, I won't let the old man do anything to you."She put down the empty bowl, stood up, and said, "Get some rest. I'm going back to my room."He grabbed her sleeve before she could turn away. He raised his head slightly to look at her, his eyes bright."Jackson, what are you doing?" she asked."You still have feelings for me, don't you? If you didn't care, you wouldn't have watched over me, you wouldn't have made sure I took my medicine, and you wouldn't have cooked porridge for me..." His voice was hoarse. His expression was that of both begging and yearning. "Serenity, please tell me you love me. I never knew that I could love a woman so deeply!"To the public, he was the high-and-mighty Mr. Valor, but when he was with her, he was willing to humble himself and plead for her love!Serenity's mind went blank.Lucas tried everything in his power to find Serenity, but to no avail. Jackson was also a powerful man, so

Lucas answered the phone. A moment later, his expression changed. "What? Uncle Smith has gone missing?""Yes. As you know, your Uncle Smith has always asked his patients to come to the clinic to see him, but today, he called me and said that he needed to go somewhere to examine a patient. He said it might take a while and told me not to worry. But when I tried calling him afterwards, I couldn't get through," Mrs. Smith anxiously told Lucas what happened. Because Mr. Smith and Lucas had a great relationship and Lucas often visited Mr. Smith's clinic, the Smith family had Lucas' contact number."Examine a patient?" Lucas' eyes narrowed."Do you think your Uncle Smith might have been kidnapped because he offended someone?" Mrs. Smith feared for the worst.But Lucas had a different idea.If Jackson hadn't taken Serenity away, today would have been the day for her second treatment session!Could Jackson Valor be the person who took Mr. Smith away?After ending his call with Mrs. Sm

"I'm sorry, Mr. Smith... I didn't think he would bring you here," Serenity said awkwardly.The elderly man didn't ask any questions; he had lived long enough to know when not to ask unnecessary questions.He laid out the tools he brought with him before instructing Serenity to extend her right hand.The different needles and knives made Serenity recall the pain from her last treatment session, which made her tremble.As Mr. Smith was about to insert a needle into Serenity's hand, Jackson grabbed his wrist and asked, "What's this for?" To which Mr. Smith replied crossly, "For treatment. What else?" He did not like being interrupted during treatment."If you're going to use needles and knives, why didn't you give her anesthesia first?" Jackson asked with a scowl."Because administering anesthesia would hinder the reactions of her fingers. I need to see her fingers' natural responses to treat her," Mr. Smith said.Jackson was still unconvinced. "But this needle...""It's okay, I

After all, that was what happened to Lucas."Let... let go..." she told Jackson while Mr. Smith was switching to another needle, "When I'm in pain, I can't control myself.""I don't care," Jackson wiped the sweat away from her forehead with his other hand, "If Lucas can get hurt for you, so can I."Serenity was surprised. But before she could say anything else, Mr. Smith inserted another needle into her hand.The pain was excruciating.All she could do was clench her teeth and endure.Her forehead was drenched in sweat again, despite having wiped it dry moments before. Large drops of sweat slid down her cheeks.Jackson stared fixedly at Serenity. Although her fingers dug into his hand as she grimaced in pain, leaving trails of blood, he seemed unfazed, his attention focused solely on her.Her face was contorted in agony. She clenched her teeth, trying hard to suppress and endure the discomfort. He could see bulging veins on her forehead and on the back of her hand.When Mr. Sm

Jackson knew Serenity had gone through hell in prison but did not understand the abuse she had suffered. Seeing her in pain gave him a better sense of what she had gone through. He was so breathless with the realization, and that made his heart ache. Filled with regret and anger, Jackson could not believe how he had stood by with cold eyes, watching her sentenced to prison, and how he had acquiesced in her torture. It was the first time he felt such pain and regret, stronger than anything he had ever felt.Yes. Jackson regretted it immensely. Kneeling on his feet, he held her hand and kissed her fingertips. "How I wish I could've fallen in love with you before you went to prison," Jackson rasped, his voice like a low rumble of a murmur carrying on the breeze. How he wished he could start all over again. If Jackson could turn back time, he would protect Serenity at all costs, not let her suffer from any pain. He would do everything to prove her innocence, not let her get accused

Mr. Smith returned home. Lucas hurried to the Smith Residence almost as soon as he got the news."Smith, where were you taken today?" Lucas had a look of anxiety on his face.Mr. Smith looked at Lucas and could not help but sigh. In all the years he had known the boy, it was the first time he had ever seen him so anxious. His anxiety was probably also because of that girl. "You're here for Serenity, right?"Lucas' eyes narrowed. "So, did you really go to treat Serenity's hand today?""That's right! It's the first time I got blindfolded like this!" Mr. Smith said, "There is a man. He has been staying with that girl. I think he is from the Valor family. Is he Jackson Valor?""Yes. It's Jackson," Lucas said, pursing his lips."It seems you've met your competition," Mr. Smith said. No matter who Serenity would love, Lucas would have a tough time pursuing Serenity. Lucas inquired, "Do you know where they took you?""I was blindfolded the whole time. The ride took about 20 minutes.

"Ah!" Serenity screamed, her eyes snapping open. She finally woke up and sat up from the bed, panting in fear. Another nightmare? Was it just a nightmare?!"What did you dream of?" A deep voice asked.Serenity looked up and met Jackson's eyes. "I-It's nothing!" Serenity blurted out. "It's late. Why are you in my room?""I couldn't sleep," Jackson said as he grabbed a tissue and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead. "You're full of sweat. You're sweating more than the treatment earlier. Did you dream about something in prison?"'He knew?' Serenity stiffened, looking at him with wide eyes, surprised."You were talking in your sleep. I guessed it from your intermittent speech," Jackson explained. Seeing the pain and helplessness in her sleep was precisely what made him more remorseful of the past.Serenity smiled at his words with a touch of bitterness. It was Jackson the last time. Serenity had heard him talking in his fevered dreams, calling out for his parents. This time, it

“……” 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
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 3369
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
