My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 1222
Later that night, she had a good night's sleep in her old room, and from tomorrow onward, she would be sleeping with him in his room.Jackson sat by her bed and watched her as she slept. The silvery moonlight streamed through the curtain and illuminated his outline, making him look like a marble statue–majestically handsome, albeit stained with a tinge of melancholy, almost as if he was keeping a million things that were troubling his mind hidden under his brows.It was a long time before his eyelashes trembled as his gaze fell on the back of her right hand. The look in his eyes was solemn, yet at the same time, filled with deep yearning.He murmured, "Do you know how much I love you, Serenity?"No matter how much he denied it, he still could not lie to himself about his true feelings for her. The truth was that he had always been… in love with her passionately.—Serenity thought she would find it hard to fall asleep the first night she returned to the Valor Residence, but it tu
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 1223
Suddenly, Jackson lifted up his head and looked straight at her with his deep dark eyes and said, "If you keep looking at me like that, you'll make me think that you're smitten with me and that you're in love with me."Embarrassed, Serenity stammered, "I… I was just…"Just what? Just taking a casual look? Or just admiring how handsome he was today?No matter what she said, it would still sound so inappropriate!Clueless of what to tell him, she then resorted to staring at him with her almond-shaped eyes."If you don't love me," he said calmly, "then don't look at me like that again. You'll just make me misunderstand you.""Um… okay."After that hasty reply, Serenity quickly lowered her head and gobbled up the food on the table.How exactly had she looked at him just now? Did it really make him think that she was in love with him? And did she still love Jackson? Did she still love the man whom she used to love deeply and passionately in the past?!— After finishing breakfast,

"Who is it?" the woman typed. "Is he a rising actor or something?""Not an actor, you fool! That's Jackson Valor!""Jackson Valor? Which Jackson Valor?""How many Jackson Valors do you think there are in Solaria, idiot?!"The woman was stunned, but just then, she heard the person at the counter calling for number 9, and in the next moment, Jackson took Serenity's hand and led her to the marriage registration counter. The woman watched as Jackson walked away, wondering if this man really was the CEO of Valor Group, the man everyone called Mr. Valor!Then, her phone rang again. It was another text message from her friend, and she asked her, "Where did you see Jackson Valor?""Government office," she replied."What is he doing there?" her friend asked with a confused face emoji at the end of her sentence.The woman muttered, "I think he's… getting married."She still could not wrap her head around what was happening there, because if that really was the high and mighty Mr. Valo

This was Jackson Valor's marriage license, after all! There were probably only a handful of people in the whole of Solaria who knew he was here to get married today! And if the media caught a whiff of this, it would cause a sensation throughout the city for sure.Still.. He did not recognize the woman who was marrying Jackson Valor at all. She probably was not a socialite or a member of Solaria's elite families, especially not when he noticed her fingers as she was putting down her signature. He noticed how slowly she wrote, much slower than most people he had encountered, and how her fingers were callused, with the joints slightly deformed–they were just not the hands that he would expect a socialite to have.Those were the thoughts that went through the department head's mind.Just as Serenity was putting down her name on the registration form, she was suddenly overcome with the familiar nausea rising up through her throat. She covered her mouth hastily and almost flew toward the

The head of the department finally took a long breath. He realized how many curious eyes had been staring at them when they were standing there waiting for Jackson and Serenity outside the restroom.And so, the department head and the other staff members saw Jackson Valor, the man who must not be offended in Solaria, leading a woman by the hand out of the restroom and carefully supporting her as she sat down on a chair before going to the water dispenser to pour the woman a glass of water.Was Mr. Valor actually… pouring someone a glass of water?!Those staff members who knew who Jackson Valor was were all befuddled. Someone like Jackson Valor would only wait for other people to hand them a glass of water, not pour one for someone else, right?!Serenity took the glass of water from Jackson and sipped on it. He then reached into his suit pocket and pulled out a small tin containing sour plums. He picked one, gave it to her, and told her, "Eat this. It'll help you with the morning si

Back then, she used to gently stroke his eyebrows and say, “You know, you look especially attractive and charming whenever you smile like this. It’s as if you would steal my heart away every time I see this smile of yours.” He would respond by smiling even more brightly. “Then, have I stolen your heart today?” he would ask while looking directly at her. Serenity would immediately grow flustered when she heard his question. He had put her hand down before leaning in and kissing her lips gently. “Do you know? I smile because I want to present my most attractive side to you so that you will love me more. Serenity, I smile for you alone, and no one else.” At that time, she had thought how sweet and warm he was, but now… so many things had happened between them that a deep gully had opened between them. She couldn’t help but wonder what their future would be like…“What’s the matter? You don’t like the photo?” Jackson’s voice sounded. “Ah? No, I think it looks great,” replied Ser
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 1228
Before Serenity could end her sentence, she was cut off by Jackson, “Don’t even think about divorce. Not in this lifetime, at least! You will be my only wife, and I, Jackson Valor, your only husband!” Serenity was stunned by his reply. When it was their turn to recite the wedding vows, she was still unable to regain her composure. It wasn’t until she started reciting her wedding vow that she snapped back into reality. For some reason, she felt that Jackson’s voice wasn’t as cold as before. It sounded like… there were actual emotions behind his voice!“From this day forward, I take you, Jackson Valor, as my lawful husband, and will share the responsibilities and obligations of marriage…” said Serenity. From this point onward, their fates would be intertwined. After all these years, Serenity finally had a family to call her own. In the future, she would be blessed with a child too. Come hell or high water, she and Jackson would have to get through it. Could they love each

“How is that possible?!” sneered the journalist. “If Jackson were to get married, the whole city would have known about it!” “But I really can’t think of another reason why your account would be suspended! What’s more… throughout the registration process, he was surrounded by staff members!” Her friend fell silent all of a sudden. It wasn’t after a long period of silence that her trembling voice returned, “If what you’re saying is correct, then… this would be on the headlines across Solaria.” However, unless Jackson made an official announcement about his marriage, no news outlet would dare to report about it.Also, who was the woman that he had married?The journalist’s eyes remained glued to the photo which had caused her account to be suspended. All of a sudden, her curiosity was piqued. ————The woman behind all this was now seated in Jackson’s car, gazing at the scenery that was passing by them. “Where are we going?” she asked. “We’re heading to the hospital,” said Ja

“……” 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
