"Mom, did you look through my drawer?" Lisa shouted.Hersha shot her daughter a glare. "I was looking for nail clippers, and guess what I found? I thought you were taking some kind of messy weight-loss pills, but it turns out they're for women who are pregnant or trying to conceive!"Lisa bit her lip, suddenly not daring to speak."Lisa, you... why are you taking this? Or is it that you..." Hersha seemed hesitant to continue.On the other hand, Austin yelled, "Just be honest! Are you pregnant with Terry's kid?!"Lisa recently had random bouts of nausea. She had also stopped hanging out with Gale and only considered him a friend. Moreover, Terry had brought Lisa home today, and she also received a pile of deliveries previously...With all the evidence piling up, Austin's suspicions grew stronger by the moment!Lisa was almost tempted to kneel before her father in fear.It was just a box of folic acid, and he guessed it all!Seeing her daughter's expression, Austin knew he had h

"Take responsibility? How do you plan to take responsibility?" Austin demanded angrily."If I'm alive, I'll marry Lisa. If I die, then all the proceeds from my estate after my death will go to Lisa," Terry stated plainly.Upon hearing this, the three members of the Quest family were dumbfounded.Lisa couldn't help but feel that Terry's words were strange. Who talks about taking responsibility and mentions death? It made him sound like he might drop dead at any moment."You want to take responsibility?" Lisa asked hesitantly.Terry raised an eyebrow as he turned to Lisa. "Then, would you rather take responsibility for me?"This statement left Lisa speechless.Austin's anger subsided slightly due to Terry's words. "Are you really willing to take responsibility?""Yes!" Terry affirmed resolutely.Austin looked at the man before him. Initially, he had high hopes for him, believing him to be someone worthy of entrusting his daughter's lifetime to. But what followed felt like a sl

Austin approached his daughter and gently patted her shoulder.He said, "You don't need to worry about us. If you truly want to have this child, go ahead and have it. This child will be a member of the Quest family. "Don't mind the gossip and rumors. If people want to talk, let them. We can always move to a new place if it comes to that. What's there to fear?""That's right, Lisa. Don't worry about anything else. Just think about whether you want to have this child and whether you want to be with Terry... or not," Hersha added as she stepped forward.Hersha understood all too well. Throughout these years, Terry had always had a place in Lisa's heart. However, she also understood Lisa's reservations about the man.Hearing her parents' words, Lisa burst into tears and hugged them tightly. All the concerns, the confusion, and the helplessness she had been feeling, along with all the suppressed emotions, were released at that moment.No matter what, her parents were always there for

"Seems like something's bothering you. Are you still worried about the baby?" Serenity asked."How could I not be?" Lisa responded with a wry smile. "My parents know about the baby now and left the decision up to me. Terry has said he's willing to take responsibility and marry me. "After thinking about it, marrying him seems like the best option. Not only will it look good, but the baby won't be illegitimate. People around us would probably envy me for landing a wealthy husband rather than mock me.""But you're still hesitant, aren't you?" Serenity observed, noting the lingering doubts in her friend's expression."Should I... get back together with Terry?" Lisa asked."The question you should be asking is whether you still love Terry," Serenity countered.Did she still love him? Lisa pursed her lips tightly. If she didn't love him, perhaps she wouldn't be so troubled and might have easily opted for an abortion.Even without a direct answer, Serenity could guess Lisa's feeling

But Lisa was certain of one thing: if she didn't take this chance, she would surely regret it in the future!As she approached the villa, Lisa parked her car to the side and was about to get out when she suddenly saw another car overtake hers and stop at the villa's entrance.And the person who got out was... Monica!Lisa's eyes widened in shock.Why was Monica here at this time? Hadn't she and Terry broken up?What followed only added to her shock. The security guards at the entrance respectfully stepped aside. One took Monica's car keys to park her vehicle, while the other opened the gate to let Monica into the villa.Monica didn't even exchange more than a few words with the guards, indicating that such occurrences were routine and they had an understanding.Lisa was stunned as she watched this scene unfold, feeling a sharp sting in her eyes.She exited her car in a daze and walked towards the guards, her mind swirling with questions. Why was Monica allowed in so familia

"Hey, watch what you say. If Mr. White finds out you're gossiping behind his back, you might lose your job," the other guard warned.The guard who had been advising Lisa quickly shut his mouth and said no more. The two of them then treated Lisa as if she were invisible.Lisa felt an increasing chill enveloping her. The words she had wanted to say to Terry, the reasons for her visit, all seemed to slip away from her mind, leaving a blank void.She walked back to her car slowly but didn't start the vehicle to leave. Instead, she just sat there and looked toward the villa.Maybe... Monica was just there for a short visit, or perhaps... it was merely some unfinished business between White Maple Group and the Hart family...Lisa kept making up excuses for Monica's presence, but convincing herself became increasingly difficult as time passed.When her phone rang, she saw it was a call from her mom, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears."Mom," she answered, trying to keep her
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 1823
Monica watched Terry's agony with a cold gaze. This man, who had turned her into a laughingstock and led the Hart family to its downfall, was now in such pain.Yet, she felt no joy.Instead, there was a sense of loss.This man was enduring inhuman suffering all because of Lisa! The Blood Parasite targeted only Lisa. He could have chosen any other woman in the world and avoided the pain of removing the curse. Yet, he was willing to risk death for Lisa!And what about her? After all these years, she had gained nothing!What was so special about Lisa that Terry would go to such lengths? That woman seemed so ordinary. She never had to make any sacrifices, right?!"Terry, is it really worth enduring such agony for Lisa? She doesn't even know the pain you're going through!" Monica crouched down in front of him and said, "If you don't survive tonight, you'll die. Even then, she might not shed a single tear for you. In her heart, you're just the traitor who abandoned her."It seem

Lisa consoled herself internally, but the tears she had suppressed all night finally betrayed her and streamed down her cheeks.Could she really walk away from feelings that she hadn't fully let go of in the past?If that were possible, why was she in such agony now? Why couldn't she stop the tears?What was this pain in her chest?"Lisa, if I tell you I've only ever loved you, would you believe me?""Lisa, just give me a little time. That's all I need.""Lisa, how are you going to take responsibility for me?""Lisa... Lisa..."His voice, his words from the past, kept echoing in her ears. Yet, they felt so distant to her now...Finally, Lisa started the car. She turned it around and drove away from the villa.-Lisa knew she had to head to the office. It wasn't a day off, and she needed to work.She tried hard to compose herself, to stop the tears. If she continued, her blurred vision would prevent her from seeing the road ahead.Just then, a scooter suddenly darted in f

“……” 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
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
