Chapter 1274

Author: Anastasia Marie
But her words only drove a stake through his heart.

"What about me?" he asked. "Am I… all in the past too?"

Serenity turned to him and looked straight into his eyes, saying, "Yes. To me, everything that happened between us is all in the past now, so there's no need for you to keep dwelling on it any longer."

He suddenly chuckled lightly and muttered, "There's no need, huh…?"

His pain, his regrets, his guilt… was it all just unnecessary things to her?

Just then, the car stopped right in front of the door to the mansion, and Lucas told Serenity, "Let's go. I've got something to show you."

And so, Serenity followed Lucas into the mansion and then to the studio inside where he kept all his paintings, and the only thing he painted… was her when she was a little girl. There was a painting of her when they had first met in the dense forest. There was a painting of her when she had grabbed his hand in the nick of time to prevent him from falling off a cliff. There was a painting of her

    The tip of her nose stung. Of course she had been moved by all the things he had done for her, but… perhaps it was just their luck that when they first met, she knew nothing about romantic love. All she knew then was friendship.And when they met each other again as adults, her heart had been conquered entirely by another person, so much so that she could no longer find any space in there to love anybody else."Yes," she answered him decisively.His eyes were full of pain, almost as if he had just been hit by lightning."How could you be so sure?" he asked her. "You only said that to make me give up on you, right?! Because you already got married to Jackson, and because you're pregnant with his child—that's why you gave me that answer, right?""No," Serenity denied. "Even if I hadn't got married to Jackson and not been pregnant, I would still give you the same answer.""Do you love him, then? Do you love Jackson?"He stared straight at her, almost as if trying to use the last en

    After a pause, she looked around the studio at all the paintings and continued, "Your feelings for me are nothing but an obsession. You've been looking for me all these years because of the promise we had when we were young. That's what human beings are like–the harder it is to get something, the more we want to get it, so much so that you unknowingly cast the object of your desire on a pedestal. The truth is there's nothing special about me at all. I'm just an ordinary woman."As she spoke, she turned to the man standing beside her–Jackson. Then, she raised the hand that he was not holding and hooked it around the nape of his neck. The look on his face turned ever more somber as he watched her reaching up on her tiptoes to plant a kiss on his lips.She had made the first move to kiss him, and he was moved to receive her kiss.His eyes turned darker, but he slowly closed his eyes and responded to her kiss.They had no idea how much time had passed, but in the end, she finally end

    “You’re not lying?” sneered Jackson. “If you’re not lying, then do you mean to say that I’m still in your heart? That you’re still in love with me? That you’ll never let me go?” “Yes,” replied Serenity. His twisted smile grew wider upon hearing this. “Then why don’t you prove that I’m still in your heart? That you still love me? That you’ll never let me go?” Serenity stared blankly at the man in front of her. To be honest, it wasn’t after Lucas brought her to the villa today and after their entire conversation that she realized she could only love one man in her life, and he was standing right in front of her. Despite her past and missed opportunities with Lucas, she was sure that the person she would end up loving was still Jackson. Sure, she and Lucas were childhood friends and she was grateful that he had saved her, but her feelings for him were… nothing close to romantic love. On the other hand, she was more than willing to stay by Jack’s side for the rest of her life,

    Later on, Clara heard Jackson’s bodyguard call his boss to report the incident. She knew that Jackson would be able to bring Serenity back safely, but she could never be too sure until she heard Serenity’s voice with her own ears. “I’m fine, Clara. You don’t have to worry about me,” said Serenity. “That’s good to hear,” said Clara with a sigh of relief. “By the way, how is Yanny doing lately? One of these days, I’ll come over when I’m free for a short visit,” said Serenity, who hadn’t seen the boy for a long time. Clara hesitated for a moment and replied, “Yanny’s doing fine, but he misses you. I’ve got to go now, we have new customers. Talk to you later.” Clara quickly hung up the call and tucked her phone away. Despite what she had said, there weren’t actually any new customers at her diner. Clara lowered her head and smiled bitterly. For a moment, she had no idea how to talk to Serenity. Too many things were happening these days. Now that Serenity was pregnant, she didn’

    “What’s the matter?” asked Serenity with a puzzled look. “Can you repeat what you said to me in the car earlier today?” murmured Jackson. She was stunned. After pondering for a while, she said, “I missed you, Jackson. You said that if I didn’t love you, then I shouldn’t touch you. So now, I’m touching you because I am in love with you. Was that what you wanted to hear?” “Yes. Say it again,” urged Jackson. Serenity did not turn down his request and repeated the same line. Over and over again, she kept repeating it while he kept her in his arms. After a long while, he finally asked, “Am I really still in your heart? Are you still in love with me? And you will never let me go?” “Yes, that’s correct. That’s why I didn’t hate it when you kissed me. Perhaps I wasn’t aware of my feelings for you, but when Lucas asked me that question today, I realized that I am still very much in love with you.” Serenity confessed her feelings to him. “I know, so many things have happened betwee

    However, he was completely unaware that he was tempting her to lose her self-control, especially when he removed his clothes and revealed the toned body hiding underneath. It looked better than the commercials Serenity saw on TV, and it awakened her instinct to claim the man as her own…“I’m still pregnant,” said Serenity as she pointed at her belly. As fascinated as she was with him, she couldn’t do anything in this situation. “Then you should focus on fixing our love now. After you bear my children, I will satisfy your desire as you please,” replied Jackson. At that moment, Serenity felt as if she was going to get a nosebleed. Oh, my God! What sort of indecent conversation were they having?! A warmth enveloped her heart. When it came to certain things, it felt like a great burden would slide off her shoulders whenever she spoke truthfully with Jackson. Over the past two days, she had been tying up loose ends at her workplace, which only left her with Clara’s custody proceedi

    However, she was stopped every time. “Do you think you can see Mr. Birch anytime you want to? Get a hold of yourself?!” scolded the security guard impatiently. “Try rushing in again and we’ll call the police.” Just then, a figure came walking over and issued an order to the security guards. “Get out of the way and let her in! Mr. Birch wants to see her.” Clara was stunned when she recognized who it was that had spoken just now. She remembered he was the Secretary working for Wilson, and he was also… her colleague from back then! They used to be good friends in the past. However, she remembered vaguely that he had reminded her on several occasions that Wilson had someone else he cared about and warned her not to get entangled in his affairs. Instead of heeding his advice, she had thrown herself mindlessly into the relationship and ended up where she was today. In the end, she had suffered due to her own fault and stupidity! The security guards who were blocking her way were

    "Of course I trust her. She's going to be my wife, the person I will spend the rest of my life with. If I don't trust her, who do I trust? You?" he said coldly.Those words stabbed her mercilessly like a sharp sword.At first, she thought that even if he said the most ruthless and malicious thing to her, she wouldn't feel anything because her heart was already numb, but it turned out… she would still get hurt by such simple words."Wilson, I beg you, please ask her. I just want to know if she took Yanny away. If she didn't, I'll get out of your sight immediately.""Are you ordering me around? Clara Wells, who do you think you are?" Wilson mocked.Clara's face turned pale. She didn't even know how to beg this man. Perhaps he wouldn't care even if she died right before his eyes."Wilson, I know we're fighting for Yanny's custody, but at least for now, before the court reaches a verdict, please don't take Yanny away from me, okay?" She was begging him in the most humble way possible

    “……” 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
