Chapter 1852

Author: Anastasia Marie
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

    Serenity's life in Latveria would have been much more miserable without Edward and Mary's help, and Jackie would have suffered with her. Mary had helped her a lot when she needed it. Mary was the one taking care of Jackie when she was busy with work."Jack! Please let Mary stop!" Serenity glanced up at Jackson, telling him, "Mary just got out from the hospital. Her body won't be able to take this. I know you hate her, but can't you let her atone for her sins in another way?"Jackson slowly turned his head, and his dark eyes locked onto hers. “So, you're still going to plead for her, aren't you?"Yes," Serenity said, the word struggled past gritted teeth. "You should know what she did to me, to my father!" he said, looking at her with what seemed to be a touch of sadness. The heavy weight in her chest grew with every word he spoke. "I know. I know all that, but Edward and Mary have been kind to me. Jack, I beg you, please. Let Mary stop. Mary has changed. She's not the same as sh

    Jackson cut her off, refusing to let her finish her sentence. Maybe her deep love was all just his self-deception! "Serenity, how much do you love me? Maybe your love for me has never been as deep as I thought!" "You knelt down for this woman and begged me. I'll stop here today, but there will be no next time. I won't forgive her. Help her again, and you stand against me. It means your love for me is nothing more than this!" Jackson said, turning to leave with his men.As the bodyguards left, Mary collapsed to the ground, her face pale. Mary's forehead was red and bleeding from repeatedly hitting the floor. Edward quickly rushed to his wife, helping her up. "Mary?! Are you okay?!" He asked, anxious about his wife."Jackson hates me… He hates me..." Mary did not answer her husband's question. Instead, she kept mumbling, tears streaming down her cheeks.Edward tried to soothe Mary. "This isn't something you can resolve overnight. Perhaps in the future, he'll forgive you eventuall

    "Mrs.Valor, you may ask Mr. Valor about this," Connor answered politely."Where's Jackson, then? Where did he go?" Serenity continued asking."I'm not very sure of that," Connor answered. "Mr. Valor only gave orders regarding Mr. And Mrs. Klein and left without saying anything else. I'm just working for him, so it's not right for me to ask for his whereabouts."Connor took Edward and Mary with him and left, and Serenity stared blankly at the car as it drove away. The events of the last hour had been like a dream to her. She welcomed Edward and Mary's visit to Solaria, but what started as a joyous meeting had now become a nightmare. Mary turned out to be Jack's long-lost mother, and Jack's hatred for his mother was more than she ever imagined!Jack… Where was he? Serenity thought restlessly. She quickly pulled out her phone and dialed Jackson's number, but no matter how many times she called, no one answered. Pick it up! Hurry and answer the call! She had so much to tell him! Sereni

    "How nice to see you again, Mr. Valor. It seems something is troubling you," Walter said, grinning."You knew this a long time ago. My mom, Mary Whitelock, is Edward Klein's wife?" Jackson's eyes darkened. He never believed in remarkable coincidences. Meaningful coincidences were planned by individuals, allowing events to happen in the exact manner of a predetermined plan.After the crash, Walter had arranged for Serenity to restart her life in Latveria, and soon, she had gotten to know Mr. and Mrs. Klein. To Jackson, it seemed like someone had been planning for Serenity's fateful meeting with Edward Klein.Walter listened, showing no trace of surprise on his face. "It seems you've found your mother. Indeed. I've known who she is for a long time, and I'm not the only one who knows. Master Zack knew."Jackson narrowed his eyes. So, his grandfather knew?"You've been searching for her all these years, and so has Master Zack. How could Master Zack possibly let her go? But by the time

    After Jude Valor died, Master Zack had bought the house and kept everything inside the same. It was Master Zack's way of telling Jackson not to forget what had happened back then!Master Zack wanted the house to serve as a constant reminder of how his father had died and how his mother had left him behind!The car drove to its destination, and Jackson shut his eyes again. Was his love just self-deception? Was it nothing more than wishful thinking? Would he end up like his father, falling into despair in an unequal relationship?- When Serenity got home, Jackson was still not back at Valor Residence. She called his number on her phone, but he was unreachable.Where are you, Jack?! Serenity became desperate. She knew asking Connor would not help, and Elliot could not give her any answers either. When the children came home, Serenity had to force a smile, pretending that everything was fine.Jacqueline became curious as Jackson did not come back home for dinner. "Where's Daddy? Is

    "Jackie considers Fred a friend!" Serenity raised her voice. At least in her opinion, that was the case. Besides, some friendships could last a lifetime!"Really? Well, let's see if she thinks Fred is a friend or a toy," Jackson mused, leaving the matter inconclusive in the end.Serenity's efforts to keep her daughter from going to Fred's room to sleep were futile. Even if she watched Jacqueline fall asleep in her own room, she would find her daughter in Fred's room the next morning. With not many options left, Serenity had to let it go. Luckily, the kids were only five years old, so she did not have to be too worried about them.Micah was still awake. The boy who inherited his father's eyes was staring straight at Serenity."Micah? What's wrong? Do you want to listen to Mommy's story before you sleep?" Serenity asked."Did Mommy and Daddy get into a fight?" Micah asked, and his question caught Serenity off guard.Startled, Serenity quickly managed a smile. "Why do you think Momm

    "I know it's late, which is precisely why I must look for him!" Serenity had to find Jackson as soon as possible. She owed him an apology. Otherwise, their misunderstanding would only worsen, and the widening rift between them would eventually be irreconcilable."I shall arrange a car for you," Elliot offered. Serenity agreed with a nod. She had retaken her driving test and gotten her driver's license issued in Latveria, but she was too tired and emotionally unstable. She could drive, but letting someone else drive was much safer.The car took Serenity to the Valor Group building, but Jackson was not there, so she told the driver to go to one of the villas she knew. While on the way, she noticed that the driver deliberately avoided the usual road and detoured around the city, so she asked, "Why don't you just drive straight ahead?"The navigation shows that the road ahead is closed. We have to take a detour," the driver explained."The road is closed?" Serenity jolted in surprise

    In the silence of the night, the couple stared into each other's eyes just like this.For a moment, Serenity felt like she had gone back to the time she had first met him. His face was void of emotions, his beautiful eyes filled with only cold emptiness."Jack, sorry." She murmured, her apologetic voice resonating in the quiet night.Jackson's eyes were hooded. "Sorry? What are you sorry for?""I was wrong. I knew how much you hate your mother, but I stubbornly fell to my knees, begging you to forgive her. I shouldn't have done that," Serenity repented. She had never imagined she would face such a complicated situation one day. Edward and Mary had been kind to her. She had to repay their kindness, but not at this cost.Maybe her heart has always been biased toward him. She cared about him most and never wanted to hurt him. As Serenity continued to approach him, Jackson kept his head down and did not say a word. Serenity walked slowly and finally stopped when they were only a ste

    “……” 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
