My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 187
Serenity got out of bed in panic and said, "I'll... go wash up." She then fled to the bathroom.Seeing Serenity fleeing from him, Jackson's eyes turned even more gloomy.In the bathroom, Serenity looked at her blushing face in the mirror and sighed.She found what Jackson Valor said hard to believe. She... she kissed him?There's no way she would do that kind of thing!But... she could not be 100% sure either. Was it really impossible? Even she herself did not know what she would do after she got drunk.What if... Jackson Valor was telling the truth? Then...When she thought of the possibility, she felt like digging a hole and burying herself in it.She took a quick shower. When she got out of the bathroom, she found that Jackson Valor was still there.He was sitting on a chair, sipping a cup of water.His well-tailored suit outlined his broad shoulders and narrow waist perfectly. His pair of long legs were elegantly folded. His handsome face had well-defined features and co

People like him usually wear custom-made branded gloves!Seeing her dumbfounded face, he added, "Consider it my compensation for releasing your relatives. You should thank me for that, right?"She hesitated. "But... I don't have your measurements anymore." Back then, in order to make him the gloves, she had taken the measurements of his hands with a tape measure.But after that, because she did not intend to finish the gloves anymore, she threw the paper with the measurements away."You can just take the measurements again," he said.She had no choice but to take out the tape measure, sat down next to him and measured his hands again.Her hands inevitably made contact with his hands sometimes.Whenever her fingertips touched his hand, she would carefully move them away. She was even pinching the tape measure with her fingertips to minimize contact with his hand.Her actions made him snicker. "You were so bold last night when you hugged me and kissed me, but you wouldn't even to

In order to finish the gloves faster, Serenity brought the half-knitted gloves and yarn with her to work so that she could knit during lunch break.When Xyla saw Serenity knitting the gloves, she asked curiously, "Are you knitting them for yourself? They seem a bit too big for you.""Wait, are you knitting them for someone?" Xyla guessed.Serenity nodded."Don't tell me you have a boyfriend?" asked Xyla."No, I don't," she immediately denied it."If you don't, why are you putting so much effort into these gloves? You're even knitting during lunch break," Xyla clearly did not believe her.Serenity did not know how to explain it to her. What could she say? That they were for Jackson Valor and she wanted to finish them as quickly as possible to get it over with?If she really said that, Xyla would probably think her head was messed up."Looks like Peter is going to be disappointed. What a shame," Xyla said regretfully, "Peter is actually a good man. He has a house and he's honest

"But even if I do get promoted, I still won't be good enough for you, will I?" he asked.Serenity was at a loss for words.Peter smiled wryly and added, "Actually, even before you said those things to me, I'd already thought about changing jobs. I can already see how the rest of my career will pan out if I keep working in the Sanitation Office. I want to find some new challenges before I turn 30."Challenges? If the old Serenity had to choose between an unknown life full of challenges or a stable life that had everything planned out, she would probably choose the former.But after all the things she had been through, she now knew that stability was actually the most important thing in life.Serenity took a deep breath and said, "You don't have to take what I said that day to heart. I just don't want you to keep wasting your time on me. I don't have that kind of feeling for you, so it wouldn’t work out between us."After a pause, she told him slowly and clearly, "If I really do lo

Could that man be the person she loved?In the end, he did not ask the question.Right now, he was not worthy. Maybe one day, after he found success, he could come back and stand before her again...Peter drove away while Serenity went home to her rental house. Before she even opened the door, she already noticed that the light was on.She clearly turned off the light before she left, so...Serenity was surprised. She opened the door and was greeted by the sight of Jackson, who was sitting on a chair."You--" She walked in. "What are you doing here so late at night?""I'm the one who should be asking you that. I know you don't have to work overtime tonight, so why are you home so late?” He raised his brows slightly and scrutinized her."A co-worker quit, so we all went out for a farewell dinner," said Serenity."Which co-worker?" he asked.She hesitated before saying, "Peter Wall." Even if she did not tell him, he could still find out.He raised an eyebrow. "Don't tell me he

"I used to live here, didn't I? We used to sleep together in the same room every night," he said calmly.Those words sounded... way too suggestive!Serenity bit her lip, "But...""But what?" he asked."There's no extra bed for you. I already put away your mattress and blanket. You'd have to wash them and sun-dry them before you use them or they'd smell.""That's all? Not a problem," said Jackson. He took out his phone and made a call.Not long after that, there was a knock on the door.Serenity went to open it. She saw Connor and a few bodyguards she had seen with Jackson in the hospital outside. They walked in with a mattress, a blanket and a pillow.Each person who walked in would say, "Sorry to bother you, Miss Lewis."All of them said that to her.Serenity's mouth twitched. What could she say in reply? The only thing she could say was "It's okay".After they put all the stuff down and arranged them properly, they left.Serenity and Jackson were left alone in the house a

In the past, when life was good, she would often try to lose weight. She was worried of growing fat because she would not look good in certain clothes.Now, she no longer had to worry about that. She had lost weight, but she no longer had to consider if it would make her look good in certain clothes. What she needed to consider when it came to clothes was the practicality of the clothes, their resistance to wear and tear, how long they would last.Sometimes it's funny to think about.She wanted something, so she worked desperately to achieve it, but now that she had achieved it, she found that she no longer cared about the thing she desperately wanted in the first place.She smiled self-deprecatingly. She still could not figure out why Jackson Valor insisted on calling her Sis as if he cared about her and missed the time they spent together.Was he interested in her?He sometimes acted as if he really liked her, but she could not help wondering if that was also an act.Serenity

But without waiting for her to answer, he resumed talking to himself, "I once hated someone very, very much. I've thought a million times how I’ll get my revenge when I finally find her one day. But every year, on her birthday, I would still feel a little upset. I only feel a little better when I'm here with you."Serenity's eyes were closed as if she was asleep. She remained silent.Perhaps he hoped that she would be asleep because he did not actually want her to hear this? Serenity secretly guessed. If that was the case, she had even more reasons to pretend to be asleep."I think I'd like to see her again sooner rather than later. I can only take revenge if I see her again, right? No matter where she hides, I'll find her one day and let her know what it feels like to be betrayed and tormented by someone she cares about."His soft voice resonated in the quiet house, but the tone of his voice carried a hint of hostility.Serenity could not help trembling slightly. Someone he cared

“……” 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
