“It’s lunchtime now, let’s eat first,” Lucas looked at the time and said.“It’s my treat today. You almost missed lunch because of me,” Coco said. “You’re paying today?” Lucas was surprised. “Yeah, but let’s choose a cheaper place,” Coco quickly added when she recalled their last meal together which cost a few thousand dollars. “Sure, I'm not a picky eater.” Coco breathed a sigh of relief and asked Lucas what he would like to eat. “I’m fine with anything,” Lucas said. Just then, he glanced toward a small restaurant not far away from Coco’s studio. It was quite near to the place where they met for the second time. “Do you often dine at that small restaurant?” Lucas asked her. “Mhm.” Coco nodded. “Shall we have lunch there?” “There?” Coco was taken aback because the food there was very cheap. “What’s wrong?” Lucas was surprised at her reaction. “Don’t you think that the place is too cheap for you?” She asked. “Nah, it’s fine. Didn’t we eat there last time?” Both of them then

Coco still felt happy because her work was going to be acted out in real life. “A company is optimistic about the film adaptation and has decided to invest more. It will most likely be aired on TV, and it seems that Rowan Palmer was in talks to play the male lead!” Minnie exclaimed.Coco was flabbergasted. Rowan was the trending celebrity now. His acting skills were good, and he was favored by all ages. All of the films that Rowan starred in had great ratings. It was possible for Coco’s comic adaptation to get good ratings if Rowan was the male lead. “Really?!” It took a while for Coco to react. “Do you think that I’m lying to you? The producer called me just now. If the adaptation is a hit, you’ll be famous soon!” Minnie was very happy for Coco. Her best friend’s work was definitely not inferior to other popular cartoonists, she only lacked a bit of luck.Coco had been drawing with all her heart for so many years. Even though she hadn't made much money from it, she persisted in

Coco thought that Lucas was just saying that to reassure her. “Fingers crossed. I hope that he can star in the adaptation, but it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t. I’m happy that my work can be shown on TV and investors are interested in it.” Lucas’s eyes flickered slightly at her contentment. He wondered if she would turn into a greedy woman once she tasted success. He would cut ties with her if he found out that she wasn’t the woman she used to be. After they parted ways, Lucas called his secretary. “Get someone to contact Rowan and ask him to take the role in the adaptation of ‘I See You’.” The secretary was stunned at Lucas’s order. Lucas shouldn’t be involved in trivial matters like this. Still, he quickly agreed after Lucas confirmed it again. He wondered why Lucas was concerned about Rowan’s acting gigs; he was only an actor under the company's branch. Even though his popularity was rising nowadays, there wasn’t any reason for Lucas to pay attention to him. Meanwhile, Mason

Serenity was on a video call with Clara. She was concerned about Clara’s ankle. “My ankle is getting better these days,” Clara said. “What about your relationship with Wilson?” Serenity asked again.“It's the same as always. He still doesn't want to accept me. Maybe we’ll get a divorce eventually,” Clara mumbled.“Why don’t we do something to stop the hypnosis?” Serenity suggested, “Maybe we can find a more powerful hypnotist to reverse it. I've looked it up, and there have been successful cases.” Clara shook her head. “It’s fine. He knew the secret phrase and he could have stopped the hypnosis himself anytime he wanted. Wilson wasn’t willing to stop the hypnosis because he didn’t want to love me anymore. I don’t want to force him if that’s the case.” Serenity was worried. “But you—” “I’m actually prepared for this. I can only say that we loved each other at the wrong time. I'll sign the divorce papers if he really still doesn’t feel anything for me by the last day. I’m willing to

“Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you a portion too?” Clara asked Wilson. He remained quiet. “Forget about it.” Clara was embarrassed. The chef at the villa probably cooked much better than her. Besides, Wilson didn’t say that he was hungry. “Are you someone who likes to go back on your words, Clara?” Wilson left the kitchen and sat at the dining table after saying that. Clara wondered if he wanted a bowl of pasta too, so she began to cook more. Two bowls of pasta were served on the table in no time. “Careful, it’s still very hot,” Clara reminded Wilson and began to eat. Wilson fixed his gaze on Clara, who was digging in. He wasn’t hungry at all. He thought of their past moments when Clara offered to cook for him. Clara had promised to cook for him in the future after she learned how to cook. The past was just the past. Wilson didn’t have feelings for her anymore. However, he still felt like eating what she had made. “What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to eat? The pasta is

Clara didn’t believe Wilson back then, and now, he was the one who didn’t believe her anymore. They would have to suffer because of trust. -Coco was ecstatic when she learned from Minnie that Rowan was going to star in the adaptation.“Oh, my God! Is that true?!” “Yes! How could I lie to you about this? The producer told me about it!” Minnie was excited. “Rowan was going to turn it down at first, but he agreed in the end. You’re so lucky!” Coco thought that luck was on her side too because she had heard that Rowan was picky about jobs. “Since Rowan is starring as the male lead, the production seems promising now!” Minnie said and asked, “By the way, how are you and your boyfriend doing?” “We’re getting to know each other,” Coco said. “Was he being pressured by his family to get married so he needed to find a fake girlfriend?”After all, news like this was quite common, and people were renting boyfriends and girlfriends nowadays. “I don’t think so, but he didn’t tell me the exa

The two of them chatted for a while. Minnie said, "Oh yeah, remember to attend the filming kickoff ceremony three days later.""Okay, got it," Coco replied."Buy a nice outfit and dress up a bit that day, okay? Don't just go in casual clothes. There will be many reporters at the ceremony, and they might take pictures of you.""Okay, okay, I got it. I'll make sure to dress up and attend the ceremony looking beautiful!" Coco responded.The next day, while on a date with Lucas, Coco said, "Can you come with me to the mall? I want to buy a new outfit for the filming kickoff ceremony.""Which mall do you want to go to?" Lucas asked."Let's go to Harbor Tower downtown. They have more boutiques there," Coco said."Sure." Lucas started the car and drove towards Harbor Tower. On the way, he asked, "The drama is starting production so soon?""It's not that soon. They've been preparing for a while, but they couldn't finalize the male lead. They finally got Rowan Palmer to agree to take on

"No problem. Mint green is the trendy color this year. It's a very popular choice," the saleswoman said. She then brought out a mint green dress in size M.Coco took the dress and went into the fitting room to try it on, while Lucas stood near the open section of the counter, gazing at the purple dress hanging on a nearby rack.Purple... that's Serenity's favorite color. He had once told her that he would buy her a beautiful purple dress. After that, he bought many purple dresses, but not a single one had ever reached her hands. Those dresses contained his longing and his pain. They were still being kept in his mansion's wardrobe, untouched.When Coco was about to try on the purple dress earlier, he asked her to change it to a mint green one almost instinctively. It appeared he still couldn't let go of his feelings for Serenity completely.At this thought, Lucas shifted his gaze away from the dress.Suddenly, his pupils contracted as a familiar figure entered his line of sight

“……” 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
