"What are you doing here?" he inquired, rising from his seat to greet her."I came straight from the hospital after dropping off the kids at their extracurricular classes. I thought, since I'm already out, I might as well come check on you," Serenity explained. "By the way, Mary's surgery went well. The doctor expects her to be discharged in a week.""Is that so?" Jackson responded nonchalantly."When you're free, come with me to the hospital to pay her a visit," Serenity suggested. "I don't think you've spoken to Edward and Mary since the day they arrived.""You want me to spend more time with them?" Jackson asked."They're like family to me. Jackie and I received immense support from them during our time in Latveria. Of course I'd like to see you get along with them. Spending more time together would definitely help improve your relationship," Serenity explained."What if I could never get along with them? What would you do?" Jackson suddenly asked.Serenity was taken aback by

Edward said, "We really want to pay our respects. It wouldn't be right to come here and not meet with your father-in-law. Can you make an exception this time?"Serenity thought her mentor’s suggestion seemed forced. She thought they didn't actually have to pay their respects, but seeing how much they wanted to, she said, "Alright, I'll talk to Jack about it. If he agrees, I'll take you there.""Great," Edward remarked.That evening, Serenity discussed the matter with Jackson. "Edward and Mary want to visit the Valor family cemetery to pay their respects to your father. Is that okay?""Pay respects to my father?" Jackson raised an eyebrow. "Who came up with that idea?""It was Mary. But Edward wants to go too," Serenity explained. "I know outsiders aren't allowed there, but they mean well."Jackson pursed his lips, considering the proposition. After a moment, he said, "If they really want to go, you can take them there.""You're not coming?" she asked."Me?" he said softly. "I'l

The woman that... he had hated for years!"Hahaha...hahaha..." A chilling laughter cut through the office as Jackson erupted into cackles that swelled in volume, his eyes slowly reddening.The woman he had been looking for had appeared before him in such an unexpected way. He couldn't believe he had actually felt grateful for that woman – grateful that she had taken care of Serenity and Jacqueline in Latveria!His father had loved her so much that he chose eternal sleep after losing her. But her? She'd found another man, living blissfully.How dare she show her face to him, let alone have his children call her Grandma? She had no right!If his father knew that the love of his life had changed her name, remarried, and lived happily with another man, how would he feel?"Dad... that's the kind of woman you loved...that's the kind of woman you lost your life for... hahaha... hahaha... Dad, rest assured, I’ll never let her off. I'll make her atone for everything she did. I want her to

His abnormal behavior shocked her. "Jack, talk to me. What happened?""Answer me first!" His voice carried a sense of urgency."Yes, of course. You’re the love of my life, and I'll always be on your side," Serenity replied, raising her hands to hug Jackson back. "Now tell me, what happened?"He remained silent, holding her tightly and resting his chin on her shoulder. Each breath he took seemed burdened with weight."Jack, we're husband and wife. No matter what happens, we'll face it together," Serenity assured him.He fell into a brief silence before finally speaking, "I... I just feel for my father. He loved that woman so much. For her, he was willing to betray his family. He left the Valor family just to be with her. But that woman, because my father couldn't give her money anymore, abandoned him and abandoned me without looking back."Serenity knew that he was talking about his mother. "Losing your father was her loss. I'm sure she eventually realized that there would never b

However... when she remembered Jackson's unusual behavior yesterday, Serenity couldn't shake off a lingering sense of unease. Yesterday wasn't a day for mourning or remembrance, yet Jack went to the memorial hall and talked about his mother. He was clearly not in the right emotional state. But in the end, she didn't ask him why he went to the memorial hall.Recalling last night, Serenity couldn't help blushing. She would have to ask him tonight if something was bothering him."Serenity, Serenity!" Edward's voice rang in Serenity's ear.Serenity snapped back to reality. "Oh, uh, what's the matter, Edward?""Is Jackson... not coming?" Edward asked."Jackson has a meeting at the company, so he might be a little late. We'll go to the cemetery first," Serenity said. The car had already arrived at the Valor family cemetery."Okay," Edward said as he helped his wife out of the car.Ever since leaving the hospital earlier today, Mary had been quiet. At the cemetery's entrance, she s

However, Mary couldn't hold back her tears. Edward thus turned to Serenity and said, "Let her cry it out. She's been suppressing these emotions for far too long."Mary cried in such a sorrowful manner that Serenity couldn't help but feel suspicious. There was something strange about Mary weeping like that.After a while, Mary gradually stopped her tears. She told Serenity, "Serenity, I... I'd like to light some candles for your father-in-law. I... I've also prepared some food to offer him. I hope he likes them."As Mary spoke, she took out several food containers from a bag she was carrying. Opening the containers, they revealed familiar home-cooked Solaria cuisine.Serenity couldn't help but frown in puzzlement. Those were Solaria's local dishes. She had never seen Mary cook these dishes before when she was living in Latveria.Did Mary specifically learn to cook Solaria's local dishes as an offering for her father-in-law?Mary took out the candles she brought. Edward bent down

Serenity jumped in a big shock. "Mary? What are you doing? Come on, get up. If you have something to say, just get up and talk about it!"Serenity tried to walk toward Mary, but Jackson held her wrist firm. He refused to let go, making it impossible for her to pass. Startled, Serenity turned to look at him. "Jack?" "Leave her be. She deserves it," Jackson said, his icy voice frightening her.The way Jackson behaved reminded Serenity of the Jackson she knew long ago. She remembered the man's hostile eyes and how he used to be ruthless and cold."Jackson, I owe it to you and your father. All these years, I've lived in regret, regretted why I left you two so heartlessly and caused so much irreversible damage!" Mary said, bursting into tears. Serenity jolted in surprise, her eyes widening in disbelief. Was Mary… Jack's long-lost mother? Serenity looked at Mary kneeling on the ground, unable to process any rational thought. Mary turned out to be Jack's mother. How could that be? Ho

Edward tried to stop them, but there was nothing he could do. The bodyguards surrounded him, keeping him in the distance. Edward could not even get close to Mary. Serenity wanted to do something, but Jackson tightened his grip on her arm so hard she could not move."Jack!" Serenity shouted his name in a panic."Serenity. Don't ever try to plead for her!" Jackson let off a low growl, almost like a warning. He just stared at her with his moist and pleading eyes.Serenity caught her breath, staring into his eyes, all her words stuck in her throat.Jackson had had a hard childhood. She knew the trauma Jackson endured and how deeply it burned. She knew how he barely survived after his father's death, his will to live fuelled by his hatred for his mother. There was even an old scar on his chest, given by his mother.Serenity resented Jackson's mother for hurting the man she loved. She could not understand why his mother would abandon him when he needed her the most. His mother had le

“……” 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
