"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

But Jackson, owing to self-deception or willful blindness, would rather believe everything she said and even consider her lies as the truth. Her lies seemed to be exposed only when it came to the time to choose and the inevitable tests in life, making it impossible for him to continue the self-deception."I'll stay here tonight. Leave me alone and go home," Jackson said coldly, but as he felt a pair of hands wrap around him from behind, his body stiffened.Serenity hugged Jackson, pressing her face against his back. Jackson heard her voice ringing in his ears. "I won't plead for Mary anymore, but Jack, you should know that Edward and Mary have helped me a lot. You don't understand how hard it was for me to find a living in a city I'm unfamiliar with. I felt so helpless without any memory of the past, and I had a child with me. It wasn't until I met Edward and Mary that I could finally catch my breath and take a break."After a pause, she hugged him tighter, mustering the courage

Jackson realized Serenity's exposed skin was cold after staying outside the whole night. He urged, "Get some sleep. I'll wake you up when we reach home.""Jack… Will you disappear from my sight again?" Serenity was a little worried he would leave without a word again. It was only by chance that she had found him this time."I won't," Jackson promised. "Now sleep."Relief flooded through Serenity, and as she fluttered her eyes closed, the exhaustion suddenly hit her hard, putting her to sleep.Thoughts clouded Jackson as he stared at the sleeping Serenity next to him. The car drove up the road, and soon, they were back home. Jackson did not wake Serenity up. He carried her back to the bedroom and gently put her in bed. "Serenity, I can never forgive that woman. So please don't ever plead for her again." Jackson made a low sigh, a pleading note mixed in his warning.-When Lisa met Serenity, she noticed the worried look on her friend's face. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"But have you thought about the future? What if Terry finds out about the child one day? What if he wants the child?" Serenity asked.Lisa immediately replied, "The child is mine! I won't give my child to anyone!""But he can file a lawsuit to get the child's custody," Serenity said, reminding Lisa of Wilson and Clara's case. "Did you forget how Wilson sued Clara and tried to fight for Yanny's custody?"Lisa's face paled, and she stopped eating her dessert. "Can he… Possibly win the child's custody?""If he's serious about it and gets the best lawyer to help him, there's at least a fifty percent chance he'll get custody when the kid turns two," Serenity stated.Lisa gritted her teeth, clenching her hands into fists. Serenity sighed. "Things might get ugly, Lisa. I'll do all I can to help, but… Why did it come to this? I thought you were planning to start over with him?""We can't start over. Terry never loved me," Lisa said, bitter about the relationship. "He told me he never

"Well, don't overthink. When it comes down to it, I'll help," Serenity reassured.After dropping Lisa off at home, Serenity contacted an experienced private investigator she knew from her time as a lawyer in Latveria."Help me investigate Monica Hart from the Hart Company. I want to know what she's been up to since her official break up with Terry White and the press conference to call off the wedding," Serenity told the investigator. She thought she had to check it out to put her mind at ease.Serenity only contacted the investigator to look into Monica's history. She wanted to know about Edward and Mary's whereabouts, but she knew the investigator would not be able to help, especially when Jack wanted to hide their whereabouts. Serenity came to the Valor Group building, wanting to meet Jackson. When she was about to reach Jackson's office, she saw Connor striding toward Jackson's office with a stack of documents in his hands."Connor!" Serenity called out to him. Connor stopp

Jackson was in his office, reviewing the paperwork at hand. When Serenity came in, he heard the noise and glanced up to find Serenity in his office. "What brings you here?" asked Jackson."Where is Edward and Mary?" Serenity questioned."What? Are you here to question me?" he said, and she could see his eyes getting cold."Mary has a fever. At her age, a little fever can cause all sorts of illnesses. I know you want Mary to atone for her sins, but Jack, you should get a doctor for her first," Serenity urged.Jackson stood up and walked over to her. "What? You think I'm holding them hostage?""Aren't you?" Serenity asked in reply."I got them a quiet place, allowing that woman to repent. Edward is free to leave at any time. As for the woman I once called Mom… She can leave, but she'll end up in prison right after she leaves." Jackson leaned down as he spoke, giving Serenity a smirk, almost as though he was mocking her gently.Serenity's breath hitched. She suddenly understood why

Staring into the darkness, Serenity watched and listened to the sound around her. Someone seemed to be sobbing. Who was it? Someone was crying, but who?Serenity tried to tear away the blinding darkness, and at last, she found a small child sobbing in the darkness. The small child was lovely—he had fair skin, his delicate features and beautiful eyes strangely attractive and doll-like.Was the boy Micah? No. Not Micah. Jack! Was this Jack as a child? The boy wore the same clothes she had seen in Jack's photo album as a child!Desperately Serenity ran forward and took the little boy in her arms. "Don't cry, Jack. Don't cry!" She heard her own voice say, and the next moment, she heard the boy's voice muttering, "Ouch! It hurts!"'It hurts?' Serenity became anxious. "Where do you hurt?" She saw blood oozing out of his chest as the crimson-red stain continued to expand. It was blood! Jack was bleeding!Serenity reached out almost uncontrollably, pressing her hand on his chest. She trie

“……” 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
