Chapter 1655

Author: Anastasia Marie
It was a strange feeling to see Terry at this hour. Lisa had just seen the news online and watched his new video during the day. She did not expect to see him show up so suddenly, still wearing the same navy blue suit and black shirt, his hair slicked back neatly. He was still wearing the same look from the interview earlier.

Neither of them spoke as they stared at each other in silence. After a long silence, Lisa blinked her eyes. She said to Terry, "Umm… It's late."

"I know." His magnetic baritone sounded in the room.

'He knows? Then why is he here at such a late hour?!' Lisa thought and realized that this was technically not her room. The whole apartment belonged to Terry.

"What brings you here so late?" Lisa asked after a moment's hesitation.

"I wanted to see you," Terry answered. He felt happy just sitting next to her and quietly watching her sleep.

Lisa was sleeping in her usual and ugly sleeping posture, occasionally grinding her teeth in her sleep. Watching her roll aroun

    Terry got closer to the bed, suddenly leaning forward and propping himself against her with his hands at her sides. "Lisa, I've never treated you as someone who would come and go as I feel like it," Terry said, his face dangerously close to Lisa's. Terry had never taken Lisa lightly. She had always been the love of his life!Lisa stared blankly at Terry as he gave her a level stare, his gaze burning with love. Lisa almost fell for his captivating eyes again. His deep and beautiful eyes enchanted her for a moment. Realizing what had just happened, Lisa tried to back away in embarrassment, but she was already leaning against the bed head with no room to retreat. Terry inched closer, putting his face close to her. "Lisa, do you know how much I've missed you?" he rasped, his low and husky voice seducing Lisa's mind.Lisa turned away, refusing to meet Terry's eyes. Afraid of losing control and falling for this man again, she could not look at him at such a close distance.Terry s

    Terry's face paled in an instant. Lisa's clear voice had always been his favorite tone. He always dreamed of listening to her voice again, but the voice he yearned for spoke the cruelest words to him."You really… Don't love me anymore?" Terry almost strained his voice as he forced the words to come out of his mouth. "I don't love you anymore. If I did, I wouldn't have gone on a blind date and started dating again," Lisa said."When we were dating, I loved you with all my heart. But we broke up. I want a clean breakup, not dragging things out!""Clean breakup?" Terry laughed bitterly. Lisa wanted a clean break, but she had no idea what had happened five years ago. What Monica had done, and what he had sacrificed for her. "What's wrong with that?" Lisa questioned."You don't love me anymore. Do you love Gale?" Terry asked, but he answered himself before she could even answer. "No, you don't love him. If you loved him, you wouldn't have reacted like how you did the last time I ki

    "Then what do you want? How can we end things? Do you want me to sleep with you? Or do you want me to be in a fake relationship with you again?" Lisa asked, mocking Terry."You can have all the women you want. Why must you act like you can't live without me? Besides, I'm not the only one for you. If you can't live without me, the breakup wouldn't have happened.""What am I to you?" Terry asked, staring at her eyes.Lisa met his gaze. "A man I loved once, but I'll never love someone like you again. I was hurt once, and I don't want to have my heart broken again. You're very career-oriented. You desire wealth and power, but all I want is just a peaceful and ordinary life with my future husband and children."Lisa and Terry were from two different worlds. They had completely different upbringings and were never meant to be together.Terry rose slowly, backing away from Lisa step by step. The moonlight shone on him through the window, lighting half of his face."You're right. I can h

    Terry missed Lisa so much. She was the woman he desired the most, but she never realized he could not live without her and thought he could have any woman he wanted! Lisa was the only woman he loved. Terry had given all his feelings to her. How could he be with another woman?!Five years ago, Terry's decision to leave her behind was motivated solely by practicality rather than the future.Treading on thin ice, Terry had never thought of his future. He never knew if he had one and could not even secretly give her a promise. Terry's future had been uncertain. He never knew if he could regain the White family and crush the Hart family.For the past five years, Terry had secretly hired someone to pay attention to what Lisa was doing and stayed updated about her life. He did not dare to meet her and had to hold back from wanting to see her.Terry finally had all he wanted, but her heart was no longer with him! Thinking of this, Terry laughed at his own misery, his lips curling into a

    Terry's face contorted with pain and struggle, jealousy consuming his mind as he thought of Lisa's future with Gale.Gale left Lisa's place with a big sigh of relief. He was glad to know Lisa had returned home safely upon contacting her earlier in the day, so he had hurried over to meet her. The storm was over, and Lisa could finally return to a normal life.A smile flashed across his face as he thought about what Lisa had privately told him earlier. "Gale, well… If you don't think it's a good idea for us to stay in touch, just let me know. It's okay." Gales thought Lisa was sometimes too honest for her own good. Lisa was already in her early thirties, but she was still as naive and innocent as a child. Maybe that was why he wanted to keep in touch with her after the blind date."Let's stay in touch, then. You're a victim of this scandal too.""So you believe me? That I didn't do anything with Terry in the hotel.""I do," Gale answered her. Yeah, he believed in her. Lisa would h

    Gale never imagined that Terry would get jealous because of him."Mr. White, do you still have feelings for Lisa? If you do, you shouldn't be asking me this. You should talk to Lisa," Gale reminded him."Even if I want to be with Lisa, it'll only work out if she chooses me. Likewise, even if you still love her, you can't be with her unless she chooses you. The choice is hers.""I'm asking you if you're going to stay with her," Terry said, pursing his lips tightly.Gale sighed, knowing he could not leave until he gave Terry an answer. "Lisa is a good woman. If our feelings are mutual, I'd want to be with her, naturally.""Are you worthy of her? Do you love her enough to give up everything for her? Otherwise, don't even dream about it!" Terry warned."What? What if I don't love her enough to give up everything for her? Will you stop me from dating her?" Gale questioned.Terry said nothing, but the cold look on his face was already an answer."Can you give up everything for her? I

    All of a sudden, Lisa's colleagues all sided with her, trying to flatter her. Some even began asking Lisa about her relationship with Terry."Hey, Lisa. Is Terry trying to get you back?""He was so handsome when he took you away from the press. He was like a prince who saved the princess!""Will Lisa soon become the CEO's wife?"Lisa knew the reason her colleagues had changed their attitudes toward her. It was all because of Terry. People could be very realistic. She had experienced so much prejudice and discrimination in the past five years that she no longer cared."I'm no longer related to Mr. White. Please don't speculate anything more. I'm dating someone else, and your comments will cause me trouble," Lisa stated, her voice cold.Her colleagues looked at each other, embarrassed at what Lisa had said. The crowd dispersed not long after, and Lisa finally regained some peace.Terry had not shown up when she went home yesterday. Terry's men had told her, "Mr. White says the mat

    Just as Serenity was about to enter the building, something suddenly fell from above."Look out!" A cry of surprise rang from behind. Then, strong arms dragged Serenity to the side, knocking her to the ground. She felt a pair of hands shielding her as she fell to the ground."Madam! Madam!" Rapid footsteps followed as she heard the bodyguard and driver shouting frantically, bringing her back to her senses. "I'm fine," Serenity said, standing up in pain with the bodyguard's help. Then, she turned to the man who had just saved her. The man got up, dusting sand from his clothes."Are you alright, sir? Thank you for—" Serenity wanted to thank him for his help, but she paused midsentence, stunned as she saw the man look up. She recognized that man! Zeke Shaw! What was he doing here?Zeke was her ex-boyfriend and Jenny Hall's fiance, and he had been very popular among the Solaria elite class! Serenity did not expect to meet Zeke again, and he seemed completely different from what he wa

    “……” 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
