Chapter 2407

Author: Anastasia Marie
North's eyes darkened and narrowed dangerously at Serenity.

Just then, Lucas' voice rang in the room. "Mr. Gerhold, Serenity is my friend. If you harm her, I'll make your family's life in Lanford difficult," he warned.

North turned to Lucas. "Mr. Gomez, you're very nice to your friend, but is it worth turning against the Gerhold family for a friend?"

"I owe my life to her. What do you think?" Lucas simply said.

After North and Yelena left, Serenity told Lucas, "You didn't have to do this. Why turn the Gerhold family against…"

"Serenity," Lucas interrupted her, "I know you've never had feelings for me. I won't ask for anything more, but it's up to me to decide what I want to do."

Unable to say anything, Serenity got up and said goodbye.

Lucas did not offer to see her off, but when Serenity took a taxi back to the hotel, Lucas followed in the car behind.

The taxi arrived at the hotel, and Serenity was surprised to see a familiar figure as soon as she got out of the car.

    Serenity gasped in surprise. Within seconds, Jackson had dragged her into the hotel elevator. "What floor and room are you in?" he asked as they got on the elevator that took them to the floor where Serenity's room was located. Serenity gave the floor and room number and watched Jackson press the button to the right floor. She could feel the atmosphere in the elevator space shift as the door shut before them."Jack, did you misunderstand something? I can explain," Serenity said. She did not expect Lucas to be following her taxi.Jackson stared at her with his dark eyes. "Misunderstand something?" Jackson repeated softly.Was there no misunderstanding? The very air around Jackson was heavy, and the look on his face made Serenity think otherwise.When the elevator door opened, Jackson grabbed her hand and quickly walked out of the elevator. When they arrived at her room, he questioned, "What's the password?"Obediently, Serenity gave him the password, and he dragged her into the

    Serenity was glad that Jackson had learned to trust her—that she truly loved him. At least there was some progress in their relationship.A smile formed on Serenity's lips as she thought of this. "Maybe I'll sympathize with Lucas, but I don't feel sorry for him. As a friend, I hope he'll find his other half soon, and…"With a slight pause, Serenity stood on her tiptoes and pressed a gentle kiss on his lips. "Jack, I won't leave you again. You're stuck with me for life."Serenity had told him this countless times, but she would always tell him the same thing over and over again. Seeing the emotions flowing in those beautiful eyes, she pushed him toward the couch, making the room spin around him.Jackson fell on the couch with her right on top of him. He saw her grin, her eyes twinkling with playful mischief. Then, he heard her say, "What's wrong? You don't believe me?""I do," he rasped. Ever since he realized she would sacrifice her life to save him, he knew she truly loved him,

    "Sis," Jackson said, endless love in his voice. It was so beautiful and filled her heart up from within. "Jack, I love you." Serenity said, gently unbuttoning the buttons of his shirt.-While driving home, Lucas kept replaying the moment when Jackson dragged Serenity into the hotel. Envy filled him in that instance—Jackson could be with Serenity at any time while he could only look on from afar. Lucas realized one wrong step could make things dramatically worse in life. With one missed opportunity, he would never catch up again no matter how hard he tried. He knew he was paying the price of his mistakes. The joy he would never have for the rest of his life.As soon as Lucas got home, a beautiful woman appeared. "Lucas! You're back."Lucas stared at the woman standing before him, studying her face that resembled the young Serenity. Lucas had first met her in the nightclub and heard she was going to sell herself. Not wanting a woman who looked like Serenity to suffer such a mise

    Snow's resemblance to Serenity was her biggest advantage. Naturally, she had to make good use of it. Moreover, Lucas did not make any complaints. Instead, he would stare at her sometimes, appearing dazed. Snow was thrilled and thought she had made the right move. "I told you. You're just my assistant and nothing more. I don't need you to miss me," Lucas said, his tone cold. "If you find your job boring, you can quit. Let's consider the contract terminated. You can leave at any time."Startled, Snow quickly dropped her eyes and said timidly, "I-I know my responsibility. I'm not asking for anything. It's just… Mr. Gomez, you saved me at the lowest point of my life. I just want to repay you for your kindness. I know I can't help much with your current project, but I'd like to learn and improve better." Then, she gazed up at Lucas, her eyes twinkling with light.Snow had studied everything about Serenity and knew the kind of angle and expression that resembled Serenity the most. Sure e

    Jacqueline wanted to make origami frogs with Fred this time, so she had brought along a lot of colorful paper she loved for this visit. While Serenity and Jackson were on the way to the Stanton Residence, Jacqueline was teaching Frederick how to make origami frogs in excitement. Micah watched Jacqueline and Frederick with boredom, unable to figure out what was so fun about the paper frogs. He thought folding a few was more than enough, but Jackie seemed to be planning to fold hundreds or even thousands of them. Fred's enthusiasm puzzled him the most. He enjoyed it so much and was happy folding paper frogs with Jackie.Was it that fun? Anyway, Micah did not think origami was as much fun as a jigsaw puzzle. The Stanton family watched the two children folding paper frogs with interest, especially Emma Stanton.Emma enjoyed watching her grandson playing with Jackson's daughter. Fred and Jackie looked so cute together, especially when they were so close to each other. Besides, Emma th

    After the meal, Jacqueline and Frederick sat down at the piano in the living room and began to play. When Frederick was staying with Jacqueline, the Valor family used to listen to the two little ones playing the piano after dinner. It had been a while since Frederick and Jacqueline had played a piano duet together. As soon as they positioned their fingers on the piano keys, the flowing music of the piano came effortlessly.The two's synchronization and beautiful symphony were unbelievable. It was fast-paced, and the adults could see their four little hands dancing quickly on the piano keys as the music flowed quickly.The Stanton family knew Jacqueline played the piano well but never realized she was this good. Frederick always mentioned Jacqueline's superior piano skills whenever receiving praise for his piano playing, but the Stanton family thought Fred had been exaggerating. Frederick had been receiving praises for his skills from even the best pianists in Lanford, after all.

    Weston was a businessman. There was no reason for him to hurt his ties with another influential family in Lanford."In that event, we'll fill the gap, especially if you do suffer any loss of business in the future because of this. I'm sure the Valor and Stanton Group can be great business partners. We have an upcoming real estate project, and if you're interested, you can join us," Jackson offered.Weston gave Jackson a thoughtful look. After a short silence, he broke into a smile. "Alright. I'll take care of the hospital matter. You should be able to get the answer you want soon."Serenity was so relieved to hear that. By the time she wanted to tell her daughter to get ready to go back, she realized she had fallen asleep leaning on Frederick. Serenity felt helpless, looking at her daughter who slept whenever and wherever she wanted. She tried to pick Jacqueline up, but she could not separate her from Frederick, especially when she hugged Frederick's arm so tightly.Serenity want

    Micah listened but barely understood it. "Mom, what about you and Dad?"Serenity turned her gaze to Jackson beside her, her eyes sparkling with endless love. "I like him a lot, and I'll like him forever."Jackson stared at Serenity, his heart pounding at the way she looked at him. If his son was not around, he would not have resisted his urge to pull her into a tight embrace and kiss her to express his most sincere joy.Jackson turned to his son, who was still in a daze. "Well, you'll meet someone you like eventually.""But I think I've already met someone like that now. I'll always like Mommy," Micah expressed.Noticing how Jackson became a little upset over Micah's answer, Serenity quickly interrupted, "That's not the same. We're talking about liking someone differently."Micah had an annoyed look on his face. He could not understand the difference between liking Mom and someone else. Maybe he should talk about it again some other time.Back at the hotel, Serenity put her son

    “……” 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
