Peter suddenly unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and caught up to her. "Serenity! I... I hope you can find your happiness!"He said that with a slightly flushed face, as if it took a lot of courage for him to say it. "Although... your happiness isn't me, I still hope that the woman I like can be happy."Serenity stared at him in amazement, a warmth rising in her heart."Thank you. You're... a really good guy." She found his simplicity, warmth, and kindness very precious.A good guy... Peter sighed. He's a good guy, but not someone she would love."I..." He paused, seemingly struggling to get the words out, and his face became even redder."What's the matter? If you have anything to say, go ahead and say it," Serenity said."Can we... hug? Just a quick hug to bid farewell to my past feelings..." He laughed bitterly and said, "Was what I was going to say, but then I realized that you've obviously never loved me – it's always been me being attracted to you one-sidedly, ca

He took a deep breath, then turned to look at her. "You really have no idea who sent these pictures?"Lynette trembled slightly. She felt as if his sharp eyes could see through her lies. "Of course I don't. If I do, I would have asked them why they sent the pictures!" Lynette said, looking aggrieved. "Don't tell me... you think I planned this? I know that you like Serenity and you only see me as someone who rescued you when you were a little, so why would I bother to do all this? I would rather you be with Serenity than someone I don't know. That way, even if you marry Serenity one day, you'll be able to tolerate me and I won't have to stay away from you!"Lynette spoke pitifully, as if she was telling the truth.Lucas pursed his lips and scrutinized Lynette. After a few moments, he picked up his phone and called someone. "Help me check out a person called Peter Wall. He used to work at the sanitation office. I'll send you his picture."Listening with her eyes looking down, Lynet

That's... Luke.Even though she believed she would never fall in love with anyone ever again, could she really turn a blind eye to his feelings?While Serenity was lost in thought, her phone rang. Serenity looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Lucas.She answered the call. Lucas' voice came from the phone, "I'm sorry for calling you so late.""It's fine, I haven't gone to bed yet. What's up?" Serenity asked."Nothing. I just... suddenly wanted to hear your voice," he said.She didn't know what to say."Serenity, if... if you like Transformer action figures, I can buy them for you, whichever model you want," he said after a moment of hesitation."No, it's fine," she quickly said, "I used to like them when I was a kid. I'm long past the age of playing with them now.""Is that so?" he paused for a moment and said, "I actually have no idea how to make a woman happy." After all, in the past, the women were always the ones who had to try their best to make him happy.All he h

But before she could get up, Peter said, "I'll go. What if the doctor comes while you're away? You'll have to look for him later, which is a lot of hassle." After all, the doctors wouldn't stay in the office all the time. Sometimes they would be out making rounds or working the outpatient clinic.Clara thought he had a point, so she said, "I'll have to trouble you, then.""No trouble. I came here to help after all!" Peter smiled and left the ward.Watching as Peter walked away, Clara couldn't help but sigh. "He really is a kind man.""Yeah, he's really kind," Serenity said."Unfortunately, the world is often unkind to kind people. I hope his kindness will get repaid one day," Clara murmured. When she was younger, she didn't think much of boring and honest men like Peter. She preferred men like Wilson Birch.But after all the things that she had been through, she realized that there was real happiness to be found in falling in love with an honest man.There's no betrayal, decepti

Serenity asked the nurse which police station Peter was taken to. Then, she returned to the hospital room and told Clara what happened to Peter in a whisper. She then said, "Clara, I'm sorry, I originally came to help Yanny move out of the hospital, but now, I have to go to the police station to figure out what's going on.""Hurry up and go. My mother and I can handle things here," Clara said with an anxious look on her face. She also did not believe Peter would do such a thing.Yanny still had no idea what's going on. He kept asking what "being detained" meant. Clara could only give him a vague answer.Serenity rushed to the police station. When she arrived, Peter was in the middle of an interrogation. She learned from the police that there were eyewitnesses, and there were surveillance cameras at the crime scene too. If the surveillance footage matched what the victim and the witnesses said, Peter would be charged with attempted rape."I would like to see Peter Wall," Serenity sa

Serenity couldn't be bothered talking to Lynette anymore. Lynette had already said enough to let Serenity understand that she indeed framed Peter.But... why would Lynette do that? They've probably never crossed paths before!Right then, a police officer told Serenity, "You're Peter Wall's lawyer, right? You can go in and talk to him now, but you only have half an hour.""Thank you!" Serenity quickly said. Just as she was about to go in, a hand abruptly grabbed her wrist from behind her. "You're Peter Wall's lawyer?"Serenity turned around and was surprised to see Lucas. She didn't expect Lucas to leave the hospital and come to the police station."Why did you leave the hospital? Did you get the doctor's permission?" she asked. Although the bandage on his head and body had been removed yesterday, he still had to stay in the hospital for at least a few more days before he could be discharged."Are you really going to be Peter Wall's lawyer?" he asked again instead of answering."

When Serenity entered the interrogation room, the police interrogation had already ended. Peter's face was very pale. He seemed to be at a loss.As soon as he saw Serenity, he said in a panic, "Serenity, I... I didn't do it! I don't know why that woman's trying to frame me!"Peter looked extremely confused. Everything happened so suddenly that he didn't know what to do."Calm down. Take your time and tell me what happened very slowly. I'm your lawyer now. I'll help you handle this case. If you can find a more suitable lawyer, you can change your lawyer anytime," Serenity said, comforting him.Peter slowly calmed down. "Thank you, Serenity."For the next half an hour, Serenity listened to Peter's side of the story. According to Peter, while he was helping Clara fetch Yanny's reports, Lynette suddenly appeared next to him. She said she sprained her foot and asked for his help to get to her car in the hospital's open-air parking lot.Because Lynette was holding a lot of things in he

"Innocent?" Lucas scoffed, "The police have checked the surveillance footage and confirmed that Lynette's telling the truth. What's more, none of the five eyewitnesses know each other, yet their statements are all consistent! There's no possibility of them giving false statements at all! "Serenity asked, "Have you ever been wrongly accused before?""What?" he was caught off guard by her question."Being wrongly accused, with all the witnesses and material evidence against you. Even though you know you're innocent, there's nothing you can do. Have you ever experienced something like that before?" She smiled faintly, "I have, so I can understand how Peter feels right now. That's why I'll help him no matter what!"He pursed his lips and stared at her with eyes that tried to see through her. "Even if I ask you to stay away from Peter Wall's case, you'll still help him?""He's my friend. I believe him." She met his gaze and did not back down in the slightest.At this moment, the air

“……” 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
