"Why are you spacing out?" Terry inquired after he approached Lisa."I can't help but notice that you... um, look like the lead actor in a young adult TV show," Lisa stammered.Terry smiled and gently caressed her cheek. "I'd only be the lead actor in your life. You're the only one I want looking at me."His intense gaze held her captive like an intricate web, and she had no desire to escape.At the marriage registration office, they obtained a ticket number and settled into their seats, waiting. Lisa snapped a photo of the interior of the hall and shared it in a group chat with Serenity and Clara.Lisa: "Today, we're registering for marriage."After a moment, Serenity responded in the group chat, "??? You and Terry are registering for marriage?""Yes, we're currently waiting in line!" Lisa replied."That's wonderful news! We must celebrate!" Serenity remarked.Clara added, "Congratulations, Lisa! I wish you and Terry a happily ever after!""Thank you," Lisa acknowledged. "By
Clara's lips tightened. She understood her mother's concerns, but... "Mom, I'll save money for my retirement. Yanny is a good kid, and I believe he'll take care of me when I grow old. You don't have to worry.""Clara, be honest with me. Do you still have feelings for Wilson Birch? Is that why you can't move on?" her mother questioned.Clara fell silent. Wilson had left an enduring mark on her heart. Though she no longer loved him, she couldn't completely forget him. After all, he had been a huge part of her life. He had also shattered her heart so completely that she was afraid to pursue a new relationship now. Once bitten, twice shy!"Mom, there are certain things from the past that are impossible to get rid of, but I don't love Wilson anymore, I know that better than anyone. I'm content now – I run a small business, I can take care of you, and I get to raise Yanny. This is the life I desire," Clara stated.Her mother sighed and ceased further discussion.At the marriage regis
"Okay," Terry answered.Meanwhile, in the Quest household's living room, Lisa's parents examined the exquisite envelope Terry's subordinate handed them. Upon opening it, they discovered a list inside.As they read through the list, Lisa's parents, who were honest and simple folks, were astonished by the contents. The gifts listed were worth millions, including various jewelry and a mansion..."What are these?" Lisa's parents asked, bewildered."These are the betrothal gifts Mr. White prepared. If you would like to add anything else to the list, please let us know," Terry's subordinate respectfully explained."Add to the list?" Lisa's parents exchanged confused glances. With such overwhelming gifts already, they couldn't fathom what else could be added.The items on the list were already more than their minds could process.The next day, Serenity went to the hospital with Clara and Yanny to collect Yanny's cochlear implant.While Yanny was undergoing the implant fitting and adj
Riley politely greeted, "Hello Aunt Serene, hello Aunt Clara." Her sweet voice matched her adorable face, making her even more lovable.However, Riley's voice had a slight nasal tone, prompting Serenity to ask, "Is Riley having a cold?""Yes, she has a slight cold, so I brought her to the hospital to get examined," Peter explained. "What about you?""Yanny lost his hearing aid, so we came to the hospital to get a new one," Serenity replied.Noticing Riley's slightly messy hair, Clara squatted down and said to the little girl, "Should I help you re-tie your hair? Otherwise, it's gonna get undone."Riley blinked her eyes and nodded, showing no shyness. Thus, Clara took out a small comb from her bag and began combing Riley's hair.Serenity turned to Peter and remarked, "Congratulations on your marriage. Even your child has grown so big. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend your wedding."Peter smiled wryly and replied in a hushed tone, "I'm actually divorced now." He clearly didn't wan
Yanny possessed a striking combination of Clara and Wilson's best features. Despite his hearing impairment, he still attracted the attention of many girls at school, who would confess their feelings or even send him love letters.Lisa even remarked that when Yanny grew up, he would surely break many hearts.Just then, little Riley accidentally touched Yanny's cochlear implant, and she curiously tried to take it off to see what it was. Peter quickly intervened and said, "Riley, don't touch Yanny's cochlear implant!"The sudden shout from her father startled Riley, causing her body to tense up.But Yanny gently patted Riley and explained, "If I don't have this, I won't be able to hear anything, so you can't just take it off.""You can't hear anything?" Riley asked, puzzled. "If you don't have this, you won't be able to hear a thing?""That's right," Yanny replied.Suddenly, Riley's expression seemed even more concerned than Peter’s was earlier. "Then, Yanny, you must protect this
"Wow, looks like our little Yanny is really popular with girls, huh? Even a three-year-old girl has taken a liking to you," Lisa playfully remarked, teasing Yanny.Yanny's childish yet handsome face turned slightly red. He didn't know what to say, so he simply lowered his head and focused on eating.However, he couldn't help but think about Riley, who was the first person who had ever said they would protect his cochlear implant. He was looking forward to seeing her again and spending time with her.After finishing lunch, the group said their goodbyes and left the restaurant. Lisa got into the White family's car, while Serenity drove Clara and Yanny back to the convenience store.Meanwhile, in a coffee shop adjacent to the restaurant sat a woman whose eyes were fixated on Clara as she got into the car.Clara Wells... we meet again!Sandra Cooper silently muttered to herself. She blamed Clara for all her misfortunes – the downfall of the Cooper family and the five years she spent
"Serenity, don't worry about Peter. Even if you think he's a nice guy, don't worry about him..." he whispered softly."Jack, are you...jealous again?" she asked with raised eyebrows.He looked at her and spoke in a gentle voice, "If I say I am, what would you do?"What would she do? Serenity's face reddened slightly as she pondered his question.His captivating eyes locked onto hers, waiting for her response.Men, no matter their age, would sometimes act like children! Serenity thought to herself before leaning down to kiss Jackson...After properly comforting him, she spoke, "You know full well that you're the one I love the most, but you still get jealous. I'm just feeling sorry for Peter and his failed marriage, that's all. He's a genuinely good person, but his marriage is unhappy. He's now divorced and is taking care of his three-year-old daughter by himself."Serenity spoke while planting kisses on Jackson's face, "Your jealousy makes me feel like I haven't expressed my lov
However, upon finishing her purchase and loading the goods onto her tricycle, Clara discovered that one of the tricycle's tires had been removed. Two seemingly sincere young men approached her and said, "Oh no, your tricycle is missing a tire? You can't ride it like this. There's a repair shop nearby. Why don't we help you take your tricycle there to be repaired?"Clara immediately recalled that earlier in the market, some shopkeepers had mentioned that there had been a lot of incidents lately where tricycles and electric bikes outside the market had their tires deflated or removed completely, which led to increased business for the repair shop nearby. The people who visited the shop were then grossly overcharged.There were suspicions among the market-goers that the repair shop was behind these incidents. Unfortunately, the surveillance camera outside the market wasn't working. Every time it was repaired, it would break down again after a few days.Clara firmly replied, "No, thanks
