My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 148
Serenity was a mess when she got back to her rental house. She left on New Year's Eve, which was only a few days ago, but it felt like a lifetime had passed since then.The air in the small rental house felt cold. Serenity could not help but smile bitterly. From now on, she would be living by herself again.No one would keep her company, no one would chat with her in the middle of the night, and no one would call her “Sis” with a smile anymore!The first thing she did was to grab a set of clean clothes and take a shower to wash away the filth. After that, she started to organize the house.Jackson had not stayed here for long, but he left many traces in the house. His dishes and cups, his towels and toothbrushes, his worn clothes and shoes...She gathered all of them one by one and put them in a cardboard box.Why not throw them away? She asked herself that. They would only take up space. However, she would rather put them away than dispose of them. It's laughable, but she missed

To this day, they still could not figure out where all the evidence came from, or why the statements of the witnesses were so consistent."Those people are too much. They know nothing, but they like to stand on moral high ground and criticize other people," Lisa said indignantly."I'm used to it," Serenity replied calmly.When Lisa thought of Serenity's injuries, she could not help but sigh. She saw Serenity's injuries when she picked her up from prison. There were old and new ones. Serenity never told her what happened in prison, but Lisa could more or less guess.She must have gone through a lot of hardship."Is Jack really Jackson Valor?" Lisa asked to change the subject."Yeah," Serenity nodded."But... if he's Jackson Valor, how could he pretend to be a homeless man and stay with you in this small rental house for so long?" That was what Lisa could not figure out. It could not be a fetish of his, right?"It's just a game to him," Serenity said a little bitterly. She still

"Don't worry, it's fine," replied Serenity. She said that because... everyone in the Sanitation Office already knew anyway.The man on the sofa propped up his face with one hand while holding a glass of wine with the other. He took a sip of wine. The man looked handsome and clean. The seductive charm he unconsciously exuded could make any woman he so much as look at lose themselves in his deep, mysterious eyes.No wonder so many famous women in Solaria were attracted to him! Caleb stared at Jackson Valor, who was drinking alone, and could not help but sigh. Even though Jackson had many admirers, not many of them dared to make a move.After all, it ended terribly for some of the women who "took action" and ended up annoying Jackson. They became jokes in the city."Why are you drinking alone? If you're coming here, you should have brought the woman along. I really want to see what kind of woman could make you leave your grandfather on New Year's Eve," said Caleb.Caleb was really c

Aria wanted to kiss him, but Lucas refused.Lucas's rejection made Aria feel a little uneasy. After all, she knew how quickly Lucas changed girlfriends. He never had long relationships with his girlfriends, and he usually got bored of them within just a few months.Aria had to capture his heart no matter what. She did not want him to get bored with their relationship, and she did not intend to be his girlfriend for just a few months. She could not help wanting more the longer she stayed with him.After experiencing such a good life with him, why would she want to return to her old life?Besides, Lucas was charming. Aria glanced at Lucas's handsome side profile. Women could easily fall for him, and she was one of them.Aria wanted to be close to him because she really wanted him, not just for the glory and wealth. Whenever his handsome eyes gazed at her, her heart could not stop pounding. She wanted to hold on to him at all costs."My friends are here today. Let me introduce you
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 152
Aria broke out in cold sweat. 'Is he really... Could he be...'"What? Jackson? Do you two know each other?" Caleb was surprised. As far as he knew, Aria was just a C-lister. Logically speaking, Jackson and Aria had nothing to do with each other."Yeah. We met once," Jackson said indifferently.Aria's eyes widened, and her heart began to pound in terror. It was indeed him—the man who had been living with Serenity! When they visited Serenity, her family suspected he was someone Serenity knew in prison.Who would have thought?! He was Jackson Valor, the most powerful man in Solaria!Aria felt dizzy. What was going on? Why was Serenity living with Jackson in such a shabby rental place?!Lucas looked at Jackson and Aria in astonishment. He asked, "Aria, why didn't you say you knew Jackson before?"Aria shuddered and let out a dry laugh. "I-I didn't know who he was at that time," she said and hurriedly smiled apologetically at Jackson, "Mr. Valor, what happened before was a misunderst

It was not just that. After touching Aria's lips, Lucas would clean his fingers with a handkerchief, almost as if touching her was dirty.His contradicting actions filled her with doubts, but she dared not ask any more questions."You don't have to apologize. You're my girlfriend. You just have to think of me. Don't worry about the rest," Lucas reassured her.Lucas touched her gently, treating her like an important treasure. However, his voice was so cold and distant.Sometimes, Aria just could not understand Lucas. She had no idea what he was thinking and what he wanted."I-I understand," Aria stammered.Lucas then withdrew his hand and wiped his fingers with a handkerchief as usual.Aria bit her lip slightly. One day, she would make this man truly hers. She would be his last girlfriend and eventually marry into the Gomez family!Aria secretly swore this in her heart!***The holidays were over. Soon, Serenity returned to work. Many of her colleagues from the Sanitation Offi
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 154
Serenity had gotten used to rude people like this. Many people looked down on sanitation workers. Sometimes, people would accidentally bump into the sanitation workers and push the blame on them anyway even if it was obviously not the sanitation worker's fault."Okay, Xyla. It's just a small matter," Serenity said. Xyla and Serenity continued working and swept the floor. When Serenity changed out of her uniform, she suddenly found a small silver bracelet in the pocket of her uniform.Serenity wondered when this bracelet had fallen into her pocket. It was a night shift, and no one was in the Sanitation Office. So, she put the bracelet away and planned to register the bracelet as lost and found the next day.When Serenity got back home, it was dark and silent.The room was usually bright whenever she came back from her night shift as Jack would wait for her at home. However, after that incident... Serenity turned on the light and smiled bitterly at the coldness of the room.That nig

Serenity fumbled for her phone next to the bed and checked the time. It was 3 am, meaning she could still sleep for a few more hours.Just as she was about to close her eyes, she suddenly sat up with a jolt. Then, she widened her eyes in terror, feeling incredulous.A man was sitting at the small dining table in her home, and he was playing with the silver bracelet she had found in her pocket earlier.The man looked like a painting under the dim light. He looked like a work of art drawn on the highest quality paper, using the best brushes and ink. He had thick eyebrows, a straight nose, thin lips, and beautiful eyes. When he looked up a little, his cold gaze seemed a little distant.She saw the man staring at her, but it felt surreal.Was this man really here? Did he really exist? C-could it be... Was it a bad dream?!"Are you awake?" The man's voice broke the silence in the room.Serenity snapped to her senses. It was not a dream! It was real!"W-who are you? Why are you in my

“……” 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
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
