My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 202
Serenity wished she had nothing to do with Jackson anymore, or so she thought. After all, his existence had been a nightmare to her. She could not believe she was thinking of him, wanting him to save her!"Why did you come here?" Lucas's cold voice rang in the car."My grandmother is sick. I'm here to visit her," Serenity answered. She could refuse to answer, but he could find out with a little investigation."Your grandmother lives in this town?" Lucas asked."Yeah.""So, you... Have you lived here before?" Lucas asked with some hesitation in his voice."I lived here for some time as a kid, but I went back to Solaria when I grew up," Serenity explained."Is that so? Did anything special happen to you when you lived here as a child?" Lucas's fingers on the steering wheel tightened a little as he asked this question."I don't understand what you mean by something special," Serenity replied. "Besides, I was very young when I was here. Even if something special happened, I may not

"I see," Serenity responded. She somehow had a feeling that Lucas was telling her all of these things on purpose.Lucas continued speaking, his penetrating dark gaze pinned on her. "I was separated from a girl in the hospital many years ago this day. She told me about this restaurant, which was her favorite. That's why I would spend some time here every year on this day and have a meal.""She must be someone dear to you," Serenity said. Lucas sounded like he missed her a lot."Yeah. She is. She's probably the most important person in my life." Lucas's tone was very indifferent, almost as if he was talking about something that seemed natural to him.Serenity, on the other hand, was shocked. Did Lucas care that much about a lost person? Serenity's original view of him was very different. She thought he was cold and heartless. He showed no mercy to his ex-girlfriend and constantly changed girlfriends—his feelings were like a ripple in the water and would die down as quickly as they fo

After all, Lucas had first met the girl in this small town.After asking Serenity a series of questions, Lucas thought about it again. It seemed like he was overthinking it."You're not her," Lucas stated indifferently. Serenity was not the one he was looking for.'Not who?' Confusion flashed in Serenity's eyes. When the restaurant owner came over and served the food, Lucas spoke. "Okay, let's eat. Do you want some wine?"Serenity thought of her previous experience of getting drunk in Jackson's presence and shook her head. "No, I'll just have a bottled drink." Lucas then asked the owner to bring over two bottled drinks."Are you not drinking?" Serenity raised her eyebrows."I won't drink. I have to drive later," Lucas said.Serenity's expression darkened, thinking of the car accident years ago. She had been charged with drunk driving despite not drinking at all!"By the way, you were in a car accident because of drunk driving, weren't you?" Lucas's voice rang out abruptly,

Serenity had had very little time to sleep every day for the past few days. She had work during the day and was busy researching and knitting gloves at night. Early this morning, she had taken the bus to the town and had a busy day.Therefore, it was not long before Serenity closed her eyes and unknowingly drifted off to sleep.Lucas glanced at Serenity and turned down the volume slightly.The sleeping Serenity reminded him of the young girl in his memory. In fact, Serenity resembled the young girl when awake, but there was a striking difference in her eyes. The present Serenity had a depressed look in her eyes like she had been beaten up by life, but the young girl's clear and bright eyes had been filled with endless hope.When Serenity woke up, the car was already parked at the entrance of her residence area.Embarrassed, she quickly unbuckled her seat belt. "How long have I been sleeping?""Well, not long," he said.Serenity hurriedly got out of the car and took her bag. Ho

Serenity then heard herself singing ‘Walk of Life’ in her childish voice."W-what if we get caught again? What if we can't escape?" The little boy's voice rang again."Silly. Why can't we escape? I'll definitely get you out!""If you leave me behind, you'll surely escape.""I won't leave you behind! I promised to protect you, so I will protect you! I'm not afraid of those bad guys!""Why won't you leave me?""Because we're friends!""Ah!" Serenity jolted out of sleep and sat up from the bed. When her eyes fluttered open, all she saw was the dim light.She was still in her rented place!Serenity breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the time. It was only 3 am.Was that a dream? She seemed to have dreamed about her younger self. She had been talking to a boy and singing the song ‘Walk of Life’ by Teresa.'Oh, God.' Serenity wondered how she could have such a dream. Did she dream of singing the song because she had listened to it countless times in Lucas's car earlier?Howev

The part-time job Xyla introduced was acting as an extra. Serenity only needed to register her name and leave a contact number on the line to apply for the job. They would not check her records.A background actor would receive a daily rate of 80 dollars, and lunch was provided. Dinner would be provided in case of overtime, but no overtime would be paid. According to Xyla, Serenity could work as a background actor during her rest day. She would be free, anyway, and she could earn money each extra day she worked.Serenity had a few rest days in a month. If she could work on every rest day, she would have a few hundred dollars extra in that month.A few hundred dollars would not mean much to most, but it was good enough for Serenity.At the end of the shift, Serenity looked at the finished gloves and called Jackson. "The gloves are ready. Should I send them over, or would you prefer to send someone over to pick them up?""I'll come and get it," Jackson said."Alright, then," Sere

"Y-you came." Serenity spoke, but her throat felt dry. She moved sideways and let Jackson into the room."Have you been waiting, Sis?" Jackson smiled and went to the table. Then, he saw the papers spread out on the table. Serenity had left the case file on the table and did not have time to clean up.Jackson's dark eyes narrowed slightly. He reached out, picked up some of the documents, and glanced at them. "Hmm? Are you looking at the case again?"Serenity stiffened slightly. She did not know his true identity before and had mentioned the case to him. After learning of his real identity, talking about the case again made her feel awkward and helpless.Serenity might think she was not guilty, but the car accident had indeed happened, and his late fiancee had died in the car accident!"Sis? What's wrong?" When she did not answer, he looked up at her."I'm just..." She swallowed and answered, "Casually looking." "By the way, you mentioned that you were accused and not guilty. Sin

"Why not?" Jackson asked in reply."I would eventually have to marry someone in my life. Would an early or late marriage make a difference? Besides, Mira is quiet and obedient enough. An arranged marriage with the Hall family would help the Valor family's business in the shipping industry, so why not?"Serenity felt a little unsettled listening to Jackson's business mindset.Jackson spoke as if he had no love at all. Even marriage was just business to him. For a man like him, what was important to him?"But now, I think it'd be nice to marry a woman I find interesting," Jackson added with a smile, his blazing gaze focused on her.Jackson's words seemed to imply something, and Serenity turned away uncomfortably. She told herself not to overthink. Both of them were simply living in two different worlds. They were very different. She thought it would be unlikely for them to cross paths again after giving him the gloves."Oh, um..." Serenity said hurriedly, "I'll give you the gloves.

“……” 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
