My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2158
Cynthia became envious of Evelyn as she listened to Evelyn's stories with her boyfriend. She began to wonder what it would be like to have a boyfriend in the future. Would it be like what she saw on TV? Although Cynthia was only in first grade, she knew what a boyfriend meant. She had seen it on TV before, after all!"Then just don't like other people," Caden said in a small voice, and his smile faded again."That's impossible," Cynthia refused and did not notice the dimming light in Caden's eyes.-Fred had no idea how long he had been hiding in the hallway. No one noticed him leaving the room, not even Jackie. Jackie did not come out to look for him because he was just a nobody.Fred was good at playing the piano, and that may be the only reason Jackie found him interesting. Many other children could not play the piano or keep up with Jackie's rhythm, so she loved playing with him. Whenever Jackie met someone else she liked better, he would be cast aside, just as he was at the

The child's voice caught everyone's attention, and they all turned to look at the stairs. Fred stood near the stairs on the second floor, and Jacqueline glared at Fred with a look of anger and shock. She must have seen something.Concerned, Serenity hurried to her daughter's side. "Jackie? What's going on?""Mommy, I saw Fred push Yanny down the stairs!" Jacqueline said. "I'm not the only one who saw it! Micah saw it too!"Jacqueline did not understand why Fred would push Yanny. Thankfully, Yanny had grabbed the handrail, or he would have gotten badly injured.Jacqueline had seen it on a TV show before. A lady who had gotten pushed down the stairs had died. Even though Mom told her that the TV show was fake, she had nightmares about it for a long time.Serenity then turned to Micah. "Micah? Is Jackie telling the truth?"Micah answered with a nod. "Jackie and I saw it. When Yanny was about to descend the stairs, Fred suddenly ran to him and pushed him."All eyes were on Fred at o
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2160
"Tell me your reason. I know you would never push someone for no reason," Serenity continued asking."Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me!" Fred said."But if you don't tell me, how do you know I won't believe you?" Serenity asked in reply."Have you forgotten? I'm a lawyer. If you have a reason and were wrongly accused, I'll clear your name. But if you did push Yanny down the stairs on purpose, I'll punish you!"After a short silence, Fred said in a small voice, "I heard a sound. I thought something was coming toward Yannick, so I tried to push him away.""There was a sound? What do you mean?" Serenity asked in confusion."It was a sound," Fred said. He was too young to describe the sound he had heard, so this was his best explanation.Serenity pondered for a moment. "You said there was a sound. Was there anything else? If you want me to believe you, you should tell me more. Was it just a sound? How can I help find evidence for you with that?"Fred kept his head down a

Jacqueline realized Fred was not going to apologize no matter what she said. Anger took over her, and she declared, "You must apologize to Yanny! If you don't, I won't play with you again! I don't want to be your friend!" This was the most serious threat a child could give, and surely enough, Fred's face paled at Jacqueline's threat.Fred reached out, wanting to grab Jacqueline. He wanted to tell her the truth, that he had heard a sound coming for Yannick, so he had pushed him away. But in fact, he had not even touched Yannick. Yannick had accidentally fallen when he tried to avoid him.Fred paused, his hand catching nothing but air, and a feeling of emptiness washed over him instantly.The servants around them looked at him with ridicule, disgust, and disdain. Fred shrank back and dropped his hands. He kept his head down and returned to his room like a poor, little soul.The room felt so empty and cold. Fred had never felt this cold before.Would Jackie no longer consider him a

Serenity hesitated for a moment. In the end, she shook her head and still believed in Fred. "I don't think Fred would do something like that. I'll look for evidence, in any case.""But what if the evidence still points to Fred? Would you still defend him?" Jackson asked.Serenity gave Jackson a look. "What are you trying to say?" They were married, and she sensed Jackson was implying something in what he said."Now that this has happened, wouldn't it be better for Weston Stanton to take Fred away?" Jackson said. "Serenity, you only took Fred in because he had no place to go. I'm not against it, but I can't say I agree. He's Jenny's son, after all." Although Fred was just a child, Jackson was extra careful with him. He was afraid that the boy would blame the Valor family for his mother's death. The boy might be harboring hatred toward the Valor family without them realizing it."Now's a good time to give Fred back to Weston. The kid should return to the Stanton family for his own
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2163
Serenity's face tensed, and Fred lying was the last thing she ever wanted."But we can't be sure yet. I'll have someone check the villa and see if something is making a sound. Maybe we all missed it," Lisa said."We all missed it? The three of us? And Yanny?" Serenity thought the chances were too slim.Lisa let out a small laugh. "Okay, I know you hope Fred didn't do this on purpose, but what if he did? Maybe Fred didn't mean to push Yanny down the stairs. Maybe he just wanted to push him to scare him. Besides, kids often play pranks without thinking of the consequences."Serenity sighed again. Did Fred really do it on purpose, and was what he said about the sound just a lie? Maybe giving Fred back to Weston would be better like Jack said.-At night, Fred curled up in the bed. Jackie had been ignoring him for the past two days. Although they ate at the same table as usual, she refused to talk to him.The servants in the mansion had noticed, naturally. They had been glaring at h

Fred could not accept it! He did not want Jackie to hate him! He would do anything for her, so please let her not hate him! Serenity had something to do that day, so Elliot picked up the kids from school in the afternoon.While on the way home, Fred kept sneaking glances at Jacqueline, but Jacqueline refused to interact with Fred. She kept talking to Micah about her day in the kindergarten.Soon, the car arrived at the Valor Residence. When the children were getting out of the car, Fred suddenly grabbed Jacqueline's sleeve.Fred began to speak with caution. "If… If I apologize to Yannick, can you not hate me?""So you're finally going to admit it? That you deliberately pushed Yanny down the stairs! And you even lied about it!" Jacqueline asked.Fred stiffened, and his face turned red. He knew he should be saying yes even though he never did it, but he just could not say it.He did not do it. He did not lie! Why should he admit something he never did?!Jacqueline saw Fred's ref

"No!" Fred yelled. "I didn't do it! I didn't push anyone!" Fred kept shouting. He curled into a ball and tried to protect his hands. His hands were the most important to him. He needed them to play more beautiful music for Jackie. Jackie loved playing the piano with him.By the time an adult noticed the fight and pulled the kids away, it was too late. Fred had gotten beaten so terribly, and his face was all bruised and swollen.Fred ran into Jacqueline while limping toward his room. Jacqueline was shocked to see Fred all bruised and swollen and became worried. "What's wrong? Who hit you?" Jackie asked, but she regretted it as soon as she spoke. They were in the middle of a fight, and they were not supposed to be talking, so she immediately shut her mouth.Fred looked at Jacqueline and stammered, "D-Do you want to play the piano? I can play it now." That was all he could do for her. Fred protected his hands during the fight earlier, so his hands were not injured. He was able to

“……” 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
