"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

"You'll get the hang of it after doing it a few more times. If you're still having trouble, I can teach you," Clara suggested."Sure, I'll be grateful for that," Peter replied with a smile. He added, "Those two people earlier probably removed the tire from your tricycle. I can't believe some of these shops. But don't worry, shops like that usually won't last long. Let me give you a ride back.""But what about my tricycle...""Give me the key. I'll have my coworker fix it for you. I'll deliver it back to your place once it's done," Peter offered. "I have a tire shop right here in the market.""That would be very kind of you," Clara said, handing over the electric tricycle key to Peter.Peter called over a coworker, gave him some instructions, and then helped Clara load all her goods onto his car. He then drove her back to her convenience store.Along the way, Clara learned that Peter used to have a business partnership with a friend, but they had since disbanded. He now rented a s

When the weekend arrived, Peter drove to the convenience store to pick Clara and Yanny up. The children sat in the backseat, while Clara joined Peter in front.During the drive, Yanny took care of Riley like he was an adult. Riley sat in a booster seat, chatting incessantly with Yanny about things like the cartoons she had been watching, her drawings, and how much she looked forward to attending kindergarten."Is kindergarten fun, Yanny?" the little girl inquired.Yanny's expression dimmed at the mention of kindergarten. He didn't have pleasant memories of it. At that time, his mother's case hadn't been overturned yet, so he faced a lot of mockery and insults from other children and their parents.Although he was young back then and didn't completely understand it, he now had a better idea of the conflicts among adults and the injustices prevalent in society. Even though his mother's case had been overturned, he was still subjected to various prejudices due to his disability.

Clara was slightly taken aback. She asked without thinking, "Your friend? Is he the business partner you mentioned before?""Yes, that's right. That's why I left to open my own shop. I couldn't face them anymore," Peter explained."He was never truly your friend then. A true friend would never have done that to you. Look at it this way – at least now, you've seen their true colors," Clara offered words of comfort."Yeah, you're right," Peter muttered. He then turned to Clara and asked, "What about you? How's it going between you and Yanny's father? Why are you running a small convenience store?"He knew that Yanny's father was Wilson Birch, the rich CEO of the Birch Group. He also knew that Wilson had donated his liver to Clara.Before this, he ran into Clara again, he had assumed that Clara must be living a life of luxury with Wilson Birch, but it appeared that she was relying on a small convenience store for her livelihood."We have nothing to do with each other. I'm able to su

"I can't hear without a cochlear implant like normal people can. That's why I'm deaf," Yanny explained calmly, and his indifference struck a chord in Clara's heart.It was as if her son had become numb to the discrimination he had to face since he was born, causing him to accept his identity as a deaf person with resignation."Then I'll be deaf too so I can be like Yanny!" the little girl exclaimed, her teary eyes filled with determination.Hearing that, Yanny's heart skipped a beat, as if something deep within him had been touched.She was only three years old. She probably didn't even fully understand what being deaf meant.If he removed his hearing aid, the whole world would go silent – a complete silence that could induce panic!It felt as if he was the only one left in the world!"No, you shouldn't be like me. People will look down on you too if you're like me," Yanny said."I'm not scared. If anyone tries to bully you, I'll fight them!" little Riley declared fiercely, des

That warmth... She had no idea how much he yearned for it! She used to look at him that way too before they became enemies, before he misunderstood her.But after that, when she looked at him, all that remained in her eyes was coldness.Wilson stared intently at the photo of Clara on his computer screen, reaching out to gently touch her face in the picture. "You said we're even, that we don't owe each other anymore, but... are we? If we're even, then tell me, why can't I move on from you?"The woman in the photo had an affectionate gaze, but that gaze wasn't directed towards him.After the incident at the amusement park, Peter had visited Clara's convenience store a few times. Each time, he brought little Riley along, as she always insisted on seeing Yanny."I don't know why, but Riley really likes Yanny. At home, she keeps telling me that she wants to see Yanny. I'm sorry for bothering you so often," Peter said somewhat awkwardly."There's no need to apologize. Yanny seems to e

Clara turned to her son and asked, "Do you like Riley?""I do. She's cute, like Jackie," Yanny replied. "I think if Riley and Jackie meet, they'll become good friends.""Maybe. Alright, you haven't finished your homework yet, have you? Go and do it," Clara urged. After Yanny went to his room to do his homework, Clara's mother approached her daughter and said, "Peter is a good man. It's not easy for a man to take care of a daughter by himself. Actually, you two...""Mom, are you trying to play matchmaker again? Is that why you asked Peter to stay for dinner?" Clara interrupted, seeing through her mother's intention."I just wanted you two to spend more time together. Relationships need time to develop, you know," Clara's mother explained.Clara gently smiled. But she fell in love with Wilson at first sight! She had always believed that, if the man was someone she would fall in love with, she would fall in love with him at first sight. Otherwise, she would never fall in love with

“……” 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
