Chapter 2194

Author: Anastasia Marie
Jacqueline finally brightened up a bit when she heard that.

Jackson, who was standing nearby, chimed in, "Do you really like Fred that much? Daddy can find you other friends who play the piano well, maybe even better than Fred. You can play the piano together with your new friends every day. That way, you won't miss Fred so much."

"But they're not Fred. Even if you find someone else to play the piano with me, I'll still miss Fred," Jacqueline replied.

"But you like Fred because he plays the piano well, right?" Jackson asked.

Jacqueline blinked her eyes a few times and tilted her head, pondering for a moment before saying, "I don't know. I just like Fred, and he likes me too. He misses me too."

Jackson smiled and didn't push the issue. Although his daughter said she liked Fred, maybe she herself didn't even know in what way she liked him yet.

But, at least the two children were now separated. With time, he would definitely be able to find other well-behaved and understanding child

    "Terry is a capable man, so I'm sure he'll find out soon," Serenity said. She then looked towards Clara's abdomen and said, "Looking after the convenience store must be tough for a pregnant woman like you. I can get someone to look after the convenience store for you until you've given birth and recuperated."Clara replied with a smile, "That won't be necessary. I'm doing just fine, and the morning sickness has stopped too. The baby is behaving and isn't causing me too much trouble. My mother is also helping me out. If I really need help, I won't hesitate to ask. Don't you worry about me."Thus, Serenity could only say. "If you have any problems, remember to reach out to me.""I will," Clara replied.After saying goodbye to Clara, Serenity visited Lisa. She wanted to ask Lisa if there was any progress in the investigation of the toxin injection incident. However, upon reaching the mansion where Lisa and Terry resided, she was taken aback."What is he doing here?" Serenity asked in

    "Good boy," Lisa replied with a smile. As expected, "Aunt Lisa" sounded much more pleasant to the ears.Still curious, Serenity pressed on, "Why do you want to be with Riley? I remember you already said you wanted to be with Riley when Aunt Lisa was still pregnant with her."The boy shook his head, saying, "I can't tell you!"He couldn't reveal the reason? Serenity's suspicion grew. In other words, there was a reason, but it’s a secret.Regardless, there's no way a 7 or 8-year-old boy would fall in love with a baby at first sight!"Do you have superpowers?" Serenity asked again.The boy blinked, clearly confused."I mean, how did you know that Aunt Lisa was carrying a baby girl the very first time you saw her? And why was your blood able to save Aunt Lisa and wake her up?" Serenity questioned."That's right. How did you know?" Lisa also looked at the boy curiously.The last time the boy came, Lisa forgot to ask him these questions because she was so surprised."I just feel li

    "By the way, may I know your name?" Serenity inquired."Morgan Wood," the boy replied honestly.After burping Riley, he reluctantly handed her back to the nanny. Then, he stood up and said, "I have to go. Goodbye, aunties.""You're going back alone? Why don't I give you a ride home?" Serenity offered."Don't worry, someone will pick him up. His family really treasures him!" Lisa assured Serenity. Last time, she had intended to give the boy a ride home too, but when she walked out, she saw a line of cars parked outside, all there to... pick up Master Morgan!Most likely, there was already a row of cars parked outside the house right now.After Morgan left, Serenity asked Lisa, "By the way, any leads on the search for the culprit who injected toxin into you?""Terry said they have some leads, but they need to verify them first," Lisa replied."Where is Terry, by the way? Is he not home today?" Serenity suddenly remembered that she had been here for quite a while and hadn't seen T

    Terry slowly opened his eyes and stood up to face his mother. She was dressed in luxurious attire, always seeking a life of extravagance, even when abroad. Truth be told, as long as his mother left Lisa alone, he would do his best to provide her with everything she wanted. She could have a luxurious lifestyle, she could have a sugar baby, she could go on shopping sprees. He wouldn't care.However, despite his efforts to satisfy her, his mother constantly tested his patience.Terry's cold, icy gaze stopped the sarcastic words Glynnis had yet to say."Why...Why are you looking at me like that?" Glynnis felt a sudden unease creeping in.Could he have come because he had found out? No, there's no way. She had been very careful, and there was no way anyone could trace it back to her."I thought that, by sending you here, we could both get on with our lives and I could let you grow old in peace, but it seems I was too naive," Terry calmly stated, devoid of any emotions."You really

    Glynnis looked at her son mockingly. "If I'm imprisoned, it won't just disgrace me alone, it'll tarnish the reputation of the entire White family. The White Maple Group's stock prices will plummet, causing significant losses for the shareholders. Can you still hold onto your position as CEO if that happens?"Glynnis had already devised a plan to save herself."You have no choice but to let this go. I will live my life here, and you'll go back to the White family and live yours!" she declared.Terry sighed. "Yes, you can live here, but you won’t be allowed to leave this place anymore."Glynnis was taken aback. "What do you mean by that? Do you want to imprison your own mother?!""You can use that term if you wish. From now on, you will spend the rest of your life in this mansion. Your basic needs will be taken care of, but the luxurious lifestyle you desire will be gone," Terry explained.Glynnis's anger flared up. "Who gave you the right? I won’t allow it! I will go out whenever

    "I'm already back in the country, but there are pressing matters at the company that require my attention, so I won't be coming home tonight. I'll be home tomorrow. Make sure you go to bed early. Don't overexert yourself," Terry said."Alright. Do you want to video call? I can show you Riley," Lisa suggested. Ever since their daughter was born, Terry would often video call during work hours to take a look at her. Lisa could already envision her husband being a doting father in the future.However, this time, Terry said, "No, it's okay. I'll be home tomorrow anyway, so I'll see her then. I have some urgent matters to attend to at the moment, so I'm gonna hang up now, alright?" With that, he abruptly ended the call.Lisa stared at her phone, feeling an inexplicable sense of unease welling up within her. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off with Terry. Normally, he could not look at their daughter enough. She also felt that his voice during the call sounded strange,

    Terry stiffened at her voice. Slowly, he turned his head and looked up at her. "Lisa? What are you doing here?" He forced a smile and said with a crack in his voice.Lisa was surprised by the haggard look on his face. "Are you tired from traveling abroad? You look so terrible. Why don't you go home and rest first? You can continue what you're doing after you've rested," she said as she approached him."When did you get back today? You didn't even call me when you got off the plane."Terry did not answer her. Instead, he suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed his face onto her belly."What's wrong? Did... something happen?" Lisa asked, a little stunned. Her voice was so gentle, but it felt like a crushing weight on his chest.How could he tell her? His mother was the mastermind behind her and their child's close encounter with death! How was he going to tell her the truth? The only justice he had done for them was just to keep his mother confined in her residence fo

    Terry reached up and gently pulled Lisa's hands down into his palms."But even so, I spared her. I didn't give the evidence to the police. I just made sure she would stay confined in the house for the rest of her life," Terry explained in a low murmur. "Sorry… I'm sorry…" He kept his head down and apologized profusely."Terry, you've done enough for me. Don't apologize! You haven't done me any wrong!" Lisa soothed him. "You're essentially using residential confinement on your mother, which is no different than her going to jail. Did you think I'd blame you? Because you might be favoring her?""I..." Terry gaped. It seemed Lisa understood his worst fears."I'm glad you didn't hide it from me. You did me justice. Although it was your mother, you still did it for me. Thank you for not hiding the truth and pretending it didn't happen," Lisa said."You're glad?" Terry murmured, staring up at her in surprise."Yes. I'm glad. I'm happy you're protecting me, but I feel sad too. I kno

    “……” 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
