My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 225
Caleb was joking when he made the remark. He had grown accustomed to his friend changing girlfriends, and it would be a real surprise if Lucas went a prolonged period without doing so. But if Lucas were to replace his current little star, it would be the shortest relationship he had ever had."Well, I suppose you could say that," Lucas calmly replied, his gaze still locked with Jackson's.Caleb didn't think much of it, but suddenly, Jackson's face darkened, and even the air around them seemed to grow cold and heavy."Hey, Jackson, what's wrong? Why the serious face?" Caleb asked, puzzled by the inexplicable and eerie atmosphere.Jackson ignored Caleb. His inky dark eyes were fixed on Lucas, and the corner of his lips quirked up."That extra, was she your girlfriend's sister?""Yes. Quite a coincidence, isn't it?" Lucas said.Jackson's smile grew wider, but his eyes remained icy cold. "Yes, what a coincidence indeed."After uttering those words, he turned around and walked towar

Just as the person got closer to the camera, their figure became clearer on screen.When Serenity saw the person on the screen, she almost spat out the food in her mouth. It was... Jackson!On the screen, Jackson was dressed in a black suit. He stood tall with a neat hairstyle, looking like a noble and elegant gentleman. The only thing that seemed out of place was the scarf around his neck and matching gloves on his hands, which seemed completely mismatched with the suit.Netizens were already discussing and flooding the screen with comments inside the live stream chat.[Who's that?][He doesn't seem like a celebrity, but he's so handsome! Oh my, I would gladly kneel before his suit pants.][Oh my gosh, is this person really not a celebrity?! If he debuts, I'll be his number-one fan!][Quick, go and interview him! Talk to him! I can't wait!]The internet celebrity smiled brightly at the camera and said, "Let's go and interview him, then. Hopefully, this gentleman will agree t

There were even speculations that Jackson Valor had an argument with someone at the banquet and left in anger. There were also speculations that Jackson Valor was annoyed at being pestered by all the female socialites there, so he left early.In short, there were all kinds of speculations.Serenity read all this like she was reading normal gossip. She also wondered what made Jackson leave so suddenly.There was a knock on the door. Serenity got up to open it and, upon seeing the person standing outside, almost choked."*Cough*... *cough*..." She coughed, her face turning red.Who would have thought that the person whose whereabouts the netizens had been discussing the whole day would suddenly appear outside her door?Jackson frowned and patted Serenity's back to help her get her breath back. "Why are you coughing so hard? Did you catch a cold?"She shook her head and kept coughing. No, she did not catch a cold; she choked because she was shocked at his sudden appearance.When S

Earlier in the evening, his mood turned sour at the thought of her getting bullied on the set. He was anxious to see her.Now that he had seen her, his mood became even worse!Jackson flicked the swelling on her forehead."Ouch!" Serenity could not help crying out in pain.He scoffed. "You can feel pain?"Of course she could feel pain! She's not made of stone! How could she not feel pain when he flicked her with his finger?! Especially since he was flicking her where she was injured!She glared at him.He was so mad that he laughed. "Well done, Serenity Lewis. Well done. You refused to stay by my side without even giving it a second thought, so I thought you must have a lot of backbone and dignity. But then, what happened? You became an extra and was forced to repeatedly kneel and kowtow to your sister. Was that fun?"She bit her lip and subconsciously took a step back. Right now, he felt scary to her for some reason.But every time she took a step back, he would take a step f

"Are you saying that I scare you?" he asked.She hesitated slightly before replying, "I know that you're just treating me as an object in a game. You still maintain interest in me because the novelty hasn't worn off, but once your interest fades, I'll become worthless to you. If I accidentally piss you off, I might end up getting tormented again like I did back in prison."She never wanted to go through that kind of miserable experience again!"Surely saying all these things to me wouldn't piss me off, right?" he questioned.Her body stiffened. Of course she was afraid that it would, but she still chose to say them.Her reaction told him everything he needed to know.Silence enclosed around them. It was a scary silence.Serenity lowered her head. The only thing she could hear right now was her own breathing and heartbeat. Jackson did not say anything, but she could feel his eyes on her.She had no idea how much time had passed when she finally heard him say, "What if I tell you

She lightly bit her lip. Then, she sat down, picked up the chopsticks with her uninjured right hand and slowly finished her meal.All the while, he sat quietly next to her, watching her with his chin resting on his hand.Her eyelashes had a natural curl which was even more pronounced whenever she looked downwards. Her face was so small that he could cover it with one hand.Her tiny nose and her cheeks that were constantly moving while she was chewing made her look like a cute little pet.He had never realized that watching a woman eat could be so fascinating.The more he looked at her, the more he wanted to hide her away from prying eyes so that he would be the only person who could look at her and get close to her.He would not allow anyone else to covet her!Although Serenity was eating with her head hanging down, she could feel Jackson's eyes on her the whole time.There was an ambiguous feeling in the air.She felt her face becoming hotter and hotter. Even swallowing seeme

His lips moved even closer to hers. Their lips were almost touching by now.Serenity could not help but blush. "Don't..." she said in a panic.He stopped and stared at her fixedly. "Then how about you tell me how you met him.""A thief stole his bracelet. The thief then bumped into me and the bracelet fell into my pocket. Lucas Gomez asked for it back from me. That's how I met him," Serenity said in a hurry."Really?" he asked, "How many times have you met him?"She didn't count! But seeing Jackson's face moving closer, Serenity quickly counted and answered, "Four... Four times. After the incident, he bought me dinner to thank me for the bracelet. Then I ran into him at the hospital my grandmother was staying in. And then I met him again on the set today."His eyes gleamed. Based on his understanding of Lucas, if Lucas merely wanted to thank her for the bracelet, he could have just paid her. He did not have to buy her dinner.In other words, Lucas already had his eye on her back

"Mmh..." Serenity reflexively tried to push him away with her right hand, and when he grabbed it, she tried to do the same with her left hand.When his fingers pressed down on her left hand, she inhaled sharply and instinctively opened her mouth to cry out in pain, but that allowed him to kiss her even deeper.She could hardly breathe.She had no idea how much time had passed before he finally ended the kiss and let go of her hands.He had a hand on her waist while his other hand gently held up her left hand. "Did I hurt you, Sis?"Serenity bit her lip and glared at Jackson. "Why did you do that?""Because I don't like it when you say something I don't want to hear," he chuckled softly, as if he had a gentle personality, "If you plan to say it again, I don't mind kissing you one more time.""......" She did not say anything, afraid that he would really do it.Jackson lowered his head and carefully inspected the swelling on the back of Serenity's hand. "Your injury will probably

“……” 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
