His cold voice whispered to her, wanting more of her. Only she could soothe the lingering fear in his heart.Even though she was currently right in front of him, alive and well, she had no idea how scared he was! She had no idea how many times the scene of her almost falling out of the window had replayed in his mind!Thank goodness he caught her!Thank goodness he managed to pull her back into his arms!Thank goodness she's safe!"Serenity..." he hoarsely called her name. This name was engraved in his blood and bones, a name that would be forever etched in his memory...Stroking back her hair, he kissed her brow softly. "No one shall harm you while I live. I won't allow it."He affectionately carried her to the bathroom.She was still asleep, her clear and beautiful face looking charming under the bathroom’s soft light."Serenity, I'm yours too," he whispered gently as he wiped her dry, then carried her back to bed.She was sound asleep, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.Th

When she opened her eyes, there was still a trace of panic in them. And when Jackson's face came into view, she felt as if she had instantly traveled to another world."J... Jack..." Her voice trembled."I'm here," he said. "I'm sorry for hurting you earlier."She stared at him blankly. Perhaps because of what happened earlier in the day, she dreamt of the incident where she fell into the sea. Even though she knew that the incident happened five years ago and it was just a dream, her surroundings still didn't feel real to her.Had she really come back? Back to his side?Trembling, she reached out, wanting to touch his face, but it stopped halfway, afraid to make contact, as if she was afraid that everything wasn't real.With trembling eyelashes, Jackson held Serenity's hand and placed her palm against his cheek. "What's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?"She took a deep breath, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her lips. "Yes, indeed... a bad dream."The memory follow

Gwen's and Lark's ending gave her immense satisfaction!"By the way, the phone recording that was broadcasted, did Jackson find that?" Lisa asked."No, it was Micah," Serenity replied."Micah?" Lisa's eyes widened in surprise. "Are kids nowadays so capable?"Clara was also a little surprised, but because her own son was also intelligent and mature for his age, she wasn't as amazed as Lisa."Yes, apparently he's good with computers," Serenity said.The three of them were sitting together outside Clara's store. Right then, out of the corner of her eye, Serenity caught a glimpse of a kid walking to the elementary school nearby.Serenity was familiar with this kid; it was the little boy named Caden. The kid had left a deep impression on her. But what surprised her was that the kid was walking with a limp."Huh? Why isn't that kid with an adult? He's so young!" Lisa had also noticed Caden and couldn't help but wonder.Clara thus briefly explained Caden's situation to Lisa."I feel

Caden's exposed skin was bruised. His little face was still swollen. Serenity could imagine how it must have been worse over the past few days. Unable to help feeling pain for him, Serenity crouched down, leveling her eyes at the child. "Does it hurt?" she asked, but Caden acted like he had not heard her and continued staring at the school gate. All he cared about was when he could see his sister after school. Nothing else mattered to him. Serenity wanted to touch the boy's face, but the little one avoided her hand warily."I just want to see your injury. I don't mean any harm!" Serenity hastily said.The little boy stared at her for a long moment before finally enunciating slowly, "I don't like you touching me!""Then… Shall I take you to the hospital and let the doctor take a look at your wound? Once your bruise heals, you'll feel better," Serenity coaxed. "It doesn't hurt," the little boy said coldly. Then, he turned his head away and stopped talking to Serenity. Serenity

The seven-year-old Cynthia behaved like an adult and showed signs of a mature child. She knew there was no such thing as a free lunch and knew how to protect herself. "My kids are about the same age as Caden. When I see Caden hurt, I can't resist wanting to help. Taking Caden to the doctor is something I can do to help," Serenity explained in a matter-of-fact tone with no intention of intimidating the little girl by getting too close.Cynthia fell silent. She turned around and looked at the little boy, still hesitant and unsure.Caden said, "Sis, it doesn't hurt." "I know it doesn't hurt, but you're still injured. Look at how you walk! You're still limping!" Cynthia said and finally made up her mind."Aunt Serene," Cynthia glanced up at Serenity, "Please wait for me. I'll be back in a while. We'll go to the hospital with you." Cynthia said something to Caden after that and told him to wait for her in front of the store.Caden grabbed the hem of Cynthia's shirt, refusing to let

"Who knows? Adoption for unusual reasons can be pretty common. I've heard about some families that adopt children for pretty strange reasons," Lisa said, pouting.Serenity pursed her lips, pondering something. Just then, Cynthia came running back carrying a small satchel instead of a school bag this time. She took Caden's hand and said to Serenity, "Aunt Serene, let's take Caden to the hospital.""Alright. Let's go," Serenity said, smiling. Lisa shrugged. When everyone got into the car, Serenity asked Cynthia, "Did you talk to your parents when you got home?""Well, I left a note," Cynthia said, but she knew it did not really matter. Her father would not care if she and Caden were out all night, let alone her stepmother. Besides, her stepmother would love to see her and Caden gone.Lisa drove the car to the hospital. While they were on the way, Serenity saw Cynthia holding Caden's hand tightly. The siblings were very close, and it seemed like they only had each other to rely on.

After the doctor's consultation, the group went to pick up the medication. The doctor prescribed a couple of ointments and a pain-relieving spray for Caden. Serenity handed the medication to Cynthia. "Here, these are Caden's medicine. You have to apply the ointment a couple of times a day. There are instructions written on the label. Can you read them?""I can!" Cynthia agreed readily."From now on, I’ll have to trouble you to help Caden with his medication," Serenity said."It's no trouble! Caden is my brother!" After putting the medications into her small satchel, Cynthia pulled out several crumpled rolls of money ranging from a dollar or two to as much as fifty dollars. "Here is 93 dollars. I know it's not enough for the bill today. Once I've saved enough, I'll give you the rest!" Cynthia said, behaving like a grown adult. She took out her stash of money all at once, giving Serenity all her savings.Serenity smiled at the stash of crumpled money but refused to accept it. "No

Cynthia tried stuffing the pile of crumpled money into Serenity's hands again. Serenity accepted the 'special' money this time. "Okay, I'll take this. You can pay me back the rest when you have enough. Now, let's get you two home."Lisa drove and took the kids to their home. When they arrived at their destination, Lisa and Serenity dropped off the kids at the door. Cynthia's stepmother, Yara Jenkins, opened the door. When she saw the kids, she immediately yelled at Cynthia, "Where have you been? If you don't like staying in this house, take this leech with you and get out of there!""I left a note. I took Caden to the hospital," Cynthia said calmly."You left a note? Hmph! The hospital? The both of you must have been fooling around! Did you damage someone's property? Do you need me to pay for it? I'm telling you, the family's money has nothing to do with your short-lived mom. It all belongs to me and your father!" Yara scolded, assuming that Serenity and Lisa had come to their house

“……” 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
