My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 255
Jackson simply ignored Serenity's request. Instead, he pulled her hand closer and gazed down, studying the bruise on the back of her hand.Jackson then pulled the back of her hand closer and blew gently.Serenity gasped and stared at Jackson as he gently blew on her bruise with all seriousness."It'll be better after I blow the pain away," Jackson hushed, his fingertips gently rubbing the bruise on the back of her hand. He was blowing the pain away as if performing a serious task.Serenity's heart was thundering hard, and she choked on her unspoken words, unable to say anything.Serenity treated Jack and Jackson differently. Jack would be a caring brother for doing this, but Jackson... Serenity was overwhelmed, not knowing what to do.The bodyguard standing behind Jackson was shocked. His eyes went wide as he watched this scene. He had never seen Mr. Valor treat a woman like this! He thought that maybe Serenity would become known throughout Solaria before long!"Feeling better?"
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 256
There was a hint of gentleness in Jackson's eyes. It was as if he could tolerate her no matter what she did. He was indescribably charming with the light in his eyes and smile on his lips.Serenity suddenly realized that she was being such an idiot. Even if she ordered everything on the menu, this would mean nothing to Jackson.What was wrong with her? She could not believe how she had ordered a crazy amount of food. It was such a foolish way to vent.Serenity was almost discouraged. She then handed the menu back to the waiter in low spirits. "That'll be all.""Is that enough?" Jackson asked with a smile.Serenity bit her lips slightly. After a short moment, she responded, "Yes."The waiter asked politely, "Can you really finish it? These are more than enough to feed seven to eight people. Would it be too much for you two?" Jackson replied indifferently, "That's all for now."Seeing this, the waiter took the menu, turned around, and left.Jackson turned to Serenity. "If it's

Jackson's intense gaze was too direct and scorching, so much so that Serenity looked up at him helplessly. "Are you not eating?""I am, but I'll watch you eat for a while. It'll make the food taste better," Jackson said.Serenity felt really speechless, completely lost for words. What did he mean by that? Would watching her eat really make the food better?"Every time I watch you eat, I find the food tastier," Jackson murmured."That's because you've never starved before." Serenity mocked indifferently, "If you haven't eaten for a few days, you'll find even white rice soaked in water delicious."His gaze darkened. "Have you starved before?""Yeah, I have," Serenity answered flatly. She used to be living on the verge of life and death. When she mentioned it again, her experience seemed to have become something ordinary.Jackson pursed his lips. "While in prison?""Yeah," Serenity responded.After that, the two never said anything else, and Jackson's heavy gaze remained on Seren
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 258
Many people in Solaria knew that Jenny and Zeke were engaged. They would be married soon. Liliana's mention of Zeke as Serenity's ex-boyfriend seemed like a deliberate reminder.Serenity stared at Liliana and suddenly had a moment of clarity in her heart.Liliana felt a little uncomfortable as Serenity gazed at her. She seemed to have seen through her. However, she immediately told herself 'So what?'. After all, Serenity was no longer the promising lawyer in the industry as before.Liliana and Serenity had joined the law firm together. They were batchmates, but everyone only had Serenity in their eyes. Liliana was just a sidekick. Everyone talked about how Serenity was successful in her career and love and how she would become a great lawyer in a short time. Meanwhile, Liliana could only envy her from the sidelines.Whenever Liliana made a mistake at work, her mentor in the law firm would tell her to learn from Serenity. It made her angry, but she could not do anything about it.

"Don't worry about it," Serenity said indifferently. "My friend is waiting for me outside too. I'll be leaving.""Hey, why are you in so much hurry?" Liliana hastily added, "You must be single, right? My boyfriend is a university professor. He knows a lot of people. Shall I get him to introduce you to somebody?"Liliana spoke as she followed Serenity out of the restroom.After that, Liliana called out to a medium-sized man waiting outside. The man immediately came over to her.Serenity studied the average-looking man who approached. He seemed a little older and was about forty. He must be Liliana's boyfriend."Benjamin, this is my former colleague, Serenity Lewis. I ran into her in the bathroom earlier coincidentally," Liliana said and introduced, "Serenity, meet my boyfriend, Benjamin Holt. He's a professor at the University of the People."From Liliana's tone, she was clearly bragging.Instead, Benjamin quickly corrected Liliana, "I'm just an associate professor, not a profess

Then, there had been the turn of events. Before they could go to the mall again, he was no longer the Jack she knew, but Jackson Valor.Serenity did not expect Jackson to remember her casual ramble to him before."Serenity? Who is he?" Liliana looked at Jackson in a daze and asked somewhat nervously.Jackson had an elegant aura around him. Was he Serenity’s friend? How could that be? No matter how she thought about it, it just seemed very strange!Jackson answered before Serenity could say anything. "Is she trying to introduce you to a blind date? Didn't you tell her? You already have me."Liliana drew a sharp breath.This man... Was he really just a friend to Serenity? Could he be her boyfriend?!Just his appearance alone was already streets ahead of Zeke Shaw, let alone Liliana's boyfriend!Thinking of this, Liliana glanced at her boyfriend, Benjamin Holt. She had been quite satisfied with him before meeting Serenity's friend. He might be ten years old than her, but he was an

The three ordered coffee for themselves, and Liliana intentionally talked to Serenity about various topics. She kept asking about Serenity's current job for many reasons. She just wanted to hear more about Serenity's misery and observe Jackson's reaction after hearing this.Jackson was calm and collected, and it seemed he was aware of Serenity's situation. Her answers did not surprise him at all. "Serenity, why don't I talk to the firm's bosses? You might be able to find a job here. You can be a cleaner and do some cleaning in the office. It's probably better than being a sanitation worker," Liliana pretentiously suggested, pretending to help.Serenity's gaze darted up to Liliana and turned cold. "I don't plan to change jobs.""Seriously?" Liliana grimaced, "You'll earn more working as a cleaner in an office than sweeping the road. Won't you consider it?""I think I know exactly what I want to do," Serenity said, her tone gradually becoming ice-cold.Liliana wanted to say someth

Jackson's words made Serenity jolt in shock. She looked up, somewhat startled, and met Jackson's clear eyes.Liliana's face changed, and she let out a dry laugh as she said, "Mr. Valor, you love Serenity so much. I couldn't tell at all. Do you plan to get married?""If she wants to, I'll gladly marry her," Jackson said.Jackson's words had Serenity's heart thundering in her chest. She turned to Jackson in disbelief, almost as if she had heard something unthinkable."Seriously?! That's impossible!" Liliana blurted out.Jackson cast a listless glance at Liliana. "How is that impossible?"The coldness in his eyes made Liliana shiver, and a kind of fear rose in her heart."Alright, Serenity, time to go." Jackson took Serenity's hand and left the cafe. Serenity followed Jackson out without objection.Benjamin looked at Liliana disapprovingly. "Lily, why did you mention your friend's past in jail? Fortunately, Mr. Valor is aware of it. If not, it'll strain their relationship. They ma

“……” 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
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 3369
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
