A nearby reporter took pictures of the two of them. Rowan Palmer appeared calm and composed. He seemed used to it, but Coco blushed slightly."Are you not used to the cameras?" Rowan asked in a soft voice."Yeah, I'm not used to it," Coco replied. "You're often in front of cameras, so you must be used to being photographed like this, right?"Rowan said with a faint smile, "Yes, I've been doing this for years. Even if I wasn't used to it at first, I am now. I heard that you and Loke Clark, the CEO of Future Tech, are alumni from the same university. Did he invest in this TV series because of you?"Coco's face tensed up slightly. She said a little awkwardly, "We're not that close. I only found out today that he invested in the series.""Really? And I thought you two were good friends," Rowan said with a chuckle.Coco pursed her lips. She and Loke would probably never be friends anymore.The ceremony lasted half a day. After it ended, Coco called Lucas. "Lucas, I'm almost done here
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2648
But Coco understood the meaning behind the question. He had given her another chance to choose.If she said she wanted to be Loke's girlfriend, then their agreement would probably be null and void. He wouldn't make things hard for her.Coco took a deep breath and said seriously, "I'm your girlfriend. You promised me that we'll remain a couple until I say otherwise."A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then Lucas smiled faintly, "Alright, then I guess we're not breaking up."Coco stared blankly at Lucas' smile, unable to look away. She had always found him good-looking, but in her presence, he usually exuded a sense of indifference. Even when they pretended to be a couple in front of others, his smile seemed formulaic, and even when he hugged her, the hug felt cold.But his smile right now seemed to carry warmth, different from before.The sight of Coco staring intently at Lucas triggered Loke. "Coco, do you really think a man like him would love you? How serious is he abo

In the car, Coco said apologetically, "I'm sorry for involving you in all this.""Don’t worry about it. Besides, I was the one who suggested we date," Lucas replied, glancing at Coco from the corner of his eye. "But why are you so sure that I'm a person who takes relationships seriously? Maybe our relationship is just a game to me as well.""If it really is just a game to you, you wouldn't have warned me not to fall in love with you," Coco said. "I remember the first time I saw you, you said that if it were possible to take back all the love I've given someone, it only meant that I didn't love that person deeply enough. So I think you must have loved someone very deeply before."He tightly pursed his lips.Coco let out a sigh and continued, "If I guessed wrong, then I guess it's my mistake for misjudging you."Right then, they reached a red light, and the car stopped in front of a crosswalk. Lucas turned to face Coco and asked, "Do you really think you can tell who I really am?"

"No, it's okay, let's go to a bar," Lucas said. "Do you have a specific bar in mind?""Not really," Coco replied.20 minutes later, Lucas' car stopped in front of a bar.Coco knew about this bar since she had collected information about many bars in the city when she was researching the setting for her new male protagonist.The bar Lucas brought her to was a bar which had gained popularity in the city recently. However, due to its high entry requirements and expensive prices, it was mostly frequented by wealthy individuals, and regular working-class people or students wouldn't come here.But this bar fit the description of the bar owned by Coco's male protagonist, making it a good choice for her research.The only problem was... "Isn't this place pretty expensive?""Not really," Lucas said.However, when Coco saw the prices, she instantly understood that their definitions of "expensive" were clearly different.Looking at the menu, she hesitated to speak.Lucas seemed to have

"How is it? Good?" Lucas asked.Coco nodded. She had had cocktails in small bars before, but it felt completely different from those that were served here."It's so much better than what I've had before," Coco exclaimed."If you like, we'll order a couple more later," Lucas said. "Can I have the same as yours?" Coco asked. The signature cocktail had a beautiful color, and it was delicious."This signature cocktail?" Lucas arched an eyebrow. "I'm afraid it might be too strong for you.""I'm a pretty good drinker," Coco said. "Really? Alright, then," as he spoke, he called the waiter and ordered another glass of signature cocktail like his.Lucas and Coco were drinking and casually chatting. With the alcohol-induced courage, Coco began to open up a little more and got comfortable with Lucas.While they were talking, Coco suddenly heard a sultry and suggestive voice calling out to Lucas."How about you buy me a drink?" said the voice.Coco looked up to find a woman in a littl
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2652
Coco was still a little too stunned to react. The woman's approach had started like a normal conversation, but it had gradually become something dangerous.Coco was just watching, but her heart was racing. She was so scared that her palms were hot and sweaty. Lucas seemed so cold and ruthless earlier. Every movement of his screamed danger. She thought he would break the woman's hand with the glass in his hand at any time. "Why? Scared?" A low voice rang, bringing Coco back to her senses. Lucas seemed normal again. It was as if what she had witnessed was just an illusion. "Kinda," Coco told him honestly. "You were like a completely different person.""I don't like women touching me," Lucas declared, a hint of disgust in his expression.Coco frowned and wondered about her future with him."But I'll make an exception for you," Lucas abruptly said. It was like he was reading her mind. "You're my girlfriend now. It would be weird without any touching. Besides, holding hands and hugg

Coco quickly pulled out her phone and dialed the emergency service.Thud! Thud! Thud! The sound of the men kicking at the door became louder and stronger. It sounded like the door would break at any moment.Coco could hear the men's rough growl from the other side. "Open the door, you damned woman! You think you can hide?!""I'm going to let you have a taste of your own medicine. We're going to break your limbs. You won't be able to run!"The call finally connected. When Coco heard the call operator speaking, she quickly explained her situation.The men outside raised their voices, shouting and screaming. "What? Are you calling the police?! It's useless! We'll break the door open before they even reach here!"The men were arrogant and ruthless. They continued to threaten her as she spoke to the call operator.The men continue kicking the door. Coco heard a crack, and she feared that the door would break open within seconds. Coco looked around, desperate. Even if she made the p

For a moment, Coco just stood there, staring blankly. Did Lucas beat them up? But he was alone. Could he really fight them by himself?"A-Are you hurt?!" she asked sharply."They can't hurt me," Lucas said with a grunt. "Well, let's get outta here."Lucas took a few steps forward, only to find Coco standing in place. He turned around to look at her. "What's wrong?" Taking a deep breath, she curled her fists on the side to gather her strength. "I-I feel a little weak. I'll walk a little slower," she explained.Coco tried to move, but her legs went weak. She almost fell to the ground. Lucas jumped forward to catch Coco as she stumbled back and picked her up in his arms."Hey!" She gasped in surprise. "A-Are you going to carry me?""What else are you going to do? If I let you walk on your own, you'll take forever."While on the way out, Coco felt many people staring at her. She would have been dying of embarrassment in normal circumstances, but not this time. She was still shell-

“……” 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
