Chapter 1785

Author: Anastasia Marie
She was rendered speechless, unable to refute.

His next words only fueled her anger further. "This serves as evidence so that you won't get to deny it later!"

"What... What kind of person do you think I am?" she retorted angrily.

"Aren't you only having dinner with me now because you don't want to pay compensation for the accident?" he accused.

"I... I never said I wouldn't pay! I just hope you can be more reasonable with the compensation amount," Lisa nervously argued.

"So, you'll take responsibility, right?"

"Of course!" she replied firmly.

"Then will you take responsibility for me as well?" he asked with an intense stare.

The gaze felt like it lasted an eternity.

Lisa felt like she had fallen for Terry's verbal trap. She forced a dry laugh and quickly lowered her head, continuing to eat her food.

A flicker of disappointment flashed in Terry's eyes. Was she still unwilling to be with him? Despite carrying his baby, she continued to resist him.

And he still bore the burden

    Lisa didn't say anything. She shook off Terry's hand and walked away.Terry kept his gaze fixed on her until she disappeared from view. He lowered his head, looking at his trembling hand. The brief contact had once again caused his body to ache.However, it wouldn't be long before the blood parasite would be completely removed from his body. After that, he would finally be able to be with Lisa again!Upon returning to the mansion, Terry found Monica waiting for him. She had been coming to the mansion every couple of days to remove the blood parasite from his body. The process consisted of seven sessions in total to ensure complete removal.This procedure was excruciatingly painful, and there had been cases of individuals succumbing to the pain and losing their lives."Let's start," Terry told Monica flatly."Is it really worth it to do this for her?" Monica sneered. "I heard she's still going out with Gale Porter. She has no intention of getting back with you. You haven't told h

    She was reluctant to part with the baby, but if she chose to give birth, not only would she be mocked, her parents would also be judged. Her only options seemed to be to secretly have an abortion or... marry Terry.Marry Terry? Lisa chuckled bitterly at the thought. She couldn't believe she would consider that possibility again after five years of separation.But would getting married because she was pregnant bring happiness?Lisa gently caressed her belly, lost in thought.Meanwhile, in the hospital room, Serenity was taken aback when she learned that Jackson intended to let Fred stay with the Valor family to keep Jackie company."But his relationship with the Valor family..." Serenity hesitated. While she never wanted to drag the boy into her grievances with Jenny Hall, Jenny Hall was currently imprisoned and was likely to receive a severe sentence. How would the boy feel? Would he develop a resentment for the Valor family?She didn't mind if the boy hated her, but she was co

    Serenity found it amusing that Lucas would ask her the same question as Jack."No, I don't regret it. If you hadn't pushed me away and handed Caden to me, I would have been the one to fall. You saved me and Caden, so of course I wanted to save you too. Even if it were someone else and not you, I would have done the same thing," Serenity said earnestly.Lucas smiled bitterly, "After all these years, you haven't changed at all. When we were children, you desperately held onto my hands too. I really miss those days...""We can't live in the past forever. People grow up," Serenity said, implying that he should let go.Of course he understood what she was implying."Yes, people grow up," Lucas said weakly, "Serenity, were you telling the truth when you said that even if I had met you earlier than Jackson, you still wouldn't have fallen in love with me?"Serenity was taken aback. When she met Lucas' gaze, her heart skipped a beat.His eyes seemed to be telling her that he knew what sh

    "Serenity, in this lifetime, you've chosen Jackson. But if we were to meet again in the next life, would you choose me?""Even in the next life, she’ll still belong only to me!" A cold voice interrupted Lucas.Lucas tensed up as he turned towards Jackson, who was standing nearby.Jackson stared at Lucas with a mix of ferocity and resentment."Mr. Valor," one of the bodyguards spoke up.Seeing Jackson, Serenity instinctively let go of Lucas' hands. Lucas keenly felt the sudden absence of her touch.Jackson stepped forward and addressed Lucas, "Remember this, Lucas. In this lifetime, the next lifetime, and the lifetimes to come, Serenity will always be mine. So don't even think about it!"Lucas glared at Jackson. "You're still the same, always doing whatever it takes to get what you want, making sure no one else stands a chance.""If I desire something, why should I give others a chance?" Jackson retorted.Tension hung in the air as the two men locked eyes.Serenity quickly tur

    Jackson's lips pursed unhappily. "If he's really moved on, I don't think he'd be talking about the next life with you.""That was just him looking for emotional comfort," Serenity replied. "Who knows if reincarnation is even a thing?""Suppose it is real though," he posed. "In your next life, would you give him a chance to be with you?""Are you getting jealous?" she teased him lightheartedly."Yeah, I am," he confessed solemnly.Serenity was a little taken aback. She reassured him earnestly, "If there really is a next life, then I hope that in that life, it's still you that I meet. I'm not the one meant for Lucas. Someday, he'll find a woman who truly deserves his love and loves him back."Jackson's lashes fluttered as he embraced her, rubbing his cheek tenderly against hers. "In our next lives, I'll make sure to meet you early on and protect you with my life. I won’t let any harm come to you."His soothing voice wrapped around her heart like a warm embrace. Serenity smiled swe

    "No, I want to wait for Serenity here at the hospital. I want to see her come out of the operating room safe and sound with my own eyes," Lisa stated firmly. Besides, if she went home, she would probably feel extremely restless."Count me in. I came today specifically to support Serenity through her surgery," Clara chimed in.Connor thus turned to Jackson. Jackson told Lisa and Clara, "If you need anything, don't hesitate to tell Connor."After that, Jackson settled alone on a bench outside the operating room, bowing his head in silent anticipation for the surgery to conclude.Observing Jackson's demeanor, Clara couldn't help but feel happy for Serenity. She believed Serenity had found her Mr. Right. Even though the two had separated from each other multiple times – Jackson even forgot about Serenity at one point – Serenity remained the woman Jackson loved.It's not easy to encounter one's true love in this world.Reflecting on her own circumstances, Clara pondered her past rela

    "I didn't expect to get pregnant this easily either. I was drunk that day, and I don't even remember what happened," Lisa confessed."What are you gonna do now?" Clara asked.Lisa paused to think for a moment, then replied, "I don't know. This baby wasn't part of my plan. If I give birth to the baby, people will gossip about me unless I marry Terry, but... I'm scared...""You're worried that Terry doesn't actually love you that much?" Clara asked."What he truly loves is his career, his success. His upbringing has ingrained in him the pursuit of power, wealth, and status. There's nothing wrong with that. There's no rule stating that you must choose love over career," Lisa paused, a bitter smile crossing her face. "I'm just scared that if I do marry him, I'll love him too deeply and can't treat our love as casually as he does. If he ever decides to divorce me one day, I don't think I'll be able to handle it."Clara gently patted Lisa's shoulder. "You have the right to choose whethe

    Seeing that, Mr. Smith let out a sigh. "The surgery was successful. But how well her hands recover will depend on the progress she makes after this.""That's great news," Lucas said with a small smile, and that smile eased some of the weight on his shoulders. His biggest wish was to see her healthy."So, how long will you be away from Solaria for?" Mr. Smith asked."I'm not sure. It depends on the project. Might be back in six months, or I could be away for up to five years," Lucas replied.Mr. Smith didn't press further, and Lucas stood up. "I'll visit you at the clinic when I return. Goodbye!"After Lucas strolled out of the room, Mr. Smith muttered to himself, "That brat. When will he truly move on from Serenity?"In the parking lot, as Lucas was getting to his car, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Standing in front of him was Jackson."What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in the ward with Serenity?" Lucas asked."Serenity is still unconscious and won't wake up for an

    “……” 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
