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

When Fred was living with Jenny, Jenny would not care much about him even if he got into a fight with someone else and injured himself.His mom was addicted to her alcohol and would spend her time doing nothing and watching TV. Otherwise, she would spend her time talking about her past glory."Come here. I'll treat your bruises." Serenity took the little boy back to his room, grabbed the medicine box, and carefully treated his wounds.Fred remained silent and felt Serenity carefully putting the medication on his bruises."If it hurts, just say so," Serenity said, afraid she was using too much force while treating Fred's wound and that he might be silently in pain.Fred pursed his lips, and for some reason, the pain gradually faded. Was it because of the medicine? Or was it because of Aunt Serene?The next day, the swelling on Fred's face remained. Serenity thought of giving the little boy a few days off from school until he was better, but Fred insisted on going to kindergarten.

Frederick had heard someone say that he would do something bad one day. He wasn’t a bad boy. He hadn't even been trying to push Yannick down the stairs.Just as he wanted to say something, Jacqueline’s figure flashed through his mind. He would be leaving the Valors and Solaria if he followed Weston back to Lanford, and he wouldn’t be able to see Jacqueline again. “I’m…not leaving,” Frederick whispered. Weston raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that his son was dead set in his ways. “Is it because of Jacqueline?” Frederick remained silent. “Do you think Jacqueline will think highly of you even if you stay here? You're nothing more than a playmate to her. She doesn’t care much about you. Look, did she choose to believe you? Like others, she was sure that you pushed Yannick down the stairs. She doesn’t believe you no matter what you say, right?” Weston said. Frederick widened his eyes and looked at Weston in disbelief. He couldn’t understand why he knew about the inc

Just then, she was startled by a light tap on her shoulder. She turned around only to realize that it was Micah. “Why are you…” “I saw you coming out, so I followed.” “Micah the Great, do you know who is that uncle who came out with Fred? What’s his relationship with Fred?” Jacqueline asked. She would only nicely call him by that nickname when she needed something from him. Otherwise, she would just call him by his name. “He’s Fred’s father,” Micah replied calmly.“Father?!” Jacqueline nearly choked in shock. “His name is Weston. Daddy investigated the Stanton family. I hacked into his computer and saw the information,” Micah said. However, Jackson had found out about it, and Micah had gotten a hard time from him. He wasn’t allowed to touch the computer for a week. “What kind of person is he?” Jacqueline asked.“He’s from Lanford, and he owns the Stanton Group. It seems that he came to Solaria to look for Fred.” Jacqueline frowned. She wondered if Weston was here to t

Fred’s eyes widened, and he panicked. At this age, he still wasn't good at hiding his emotions even though he was attentive.“What’s your decision? Do you want to go back? Or are you going to stay with us?” Jackson asked while smiling. Fred felt overwhelmed even though Jackson was smiling at him. “I-I…” he couldn’t continue saying that he wanted to stay with the Valors. The words were stuck in his throat.“I won’t stop you if you want to leave, but if you want to stay here, don’t do anything bad. If you have any ill intentions, I won’t forgive you even if you’re still a kid. I don’t care who your father is,” Jackson said. Fred trembled. “I… I don’t have any ill intentions. I didn’t push Yannick down the stairs either,” he said after mustering some courage. Jackson smirked. “I don’t care what the truth really is. It doesn’t matter to me even if you did it or not.” Jackson was not bothered about Yannick's life and death. All he cared about was the safety of Serenity and their

After some time, Fred opened the drawer and took out the piece of paper with Weston's phone number on it.He knew what Weston said was correct—he would never get what he really wanted if he stayed with the Valors. There was something else that he wanted besides Jacqueline’s smile. In the middle of the night, Fred went to the living room and dialed the number on the paper using the telephone. Weston picked up the phone after a while. “It’s Fred calling.” “So, have you decided?” Weston asked. “Hmm. I want to go back to the Stanton family,” Fred said softly with teary eyes. “I’ll be at your door in half an hour,” Weston ended the call. Fred realized that he only had half an hour left before he had to leave the Valor Residence. He went back to his room to pack, but everything in the room didn’t belong to him. He hadn’t brought anything with him when he came here. He hesitated and only took the doll that Jacqueline had given him. Then, he went to Jacqueline’s room and

“……” 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
