Loke had seen the news too, and a frown twisted his face. The bullying incident in university was brought up by the news again, his name blatantly omitted, and all the focus was turned to Coco's name.Why had this story come out? Who had brought up the news again?!Although the incident had happened in the university, only a small group of students were involved in the actual bullying. Most of the students were only watching, not knowing the cause of the incident. Someone had exposed the story without missing any details. Only a few knew the matter well. Were the abusers the ones who had shared the story? Were they jealous of Coco's latest success and planning to ruin everything?Who could it be? Who was behind this?Loke's mind was still on the names of those involved in this matter when his phone rang. "Hello?""Loke!" His best friend Mason's voice came over the phone. "Have you seen the latest video about Coco? It's all over the internet!""No, not yet. What happened?" Uneas

Coco's boyfriend looked like a typical rich kid who came from money. Could it be him?Loke wondered if Coco's boyfriend was helping Coco with money. Was he just playing around with Coco? Or was it something more?Suddenly, Loke panicked. Was Coco's boyfriend serious about her? If he was, could Loke still start over with Coco? Or maybe he would never get the chance again.Coco did not end up staying in Minnie's place. Instead, Minnie found a service apartment on the internet and rented it for her.The serviced apartment was further away from the city but with strong security. All visitors and tenants required an access card to enter or exit the building. "You should stay here for the next few days. I'll bring you food every day," Minnie said, but Coco suddenly let out a laugh."How could you laugh in a time like this?" Minnie said. "I suddenly feel like a fugitive on the run from the public. Are you going to sneak around? Secretly bring me food every day? Maybe someone might be

"It's alright," Coco refused. "The news has been taken down, anyway. Besides, I'm not a celebrity. It's not like everyone knows my face. I'll get dinner for myself or order takeaway. You don't have to travel so far to send me food."It was an hour and a half drive from here to Minnie's place."Okay, then. Take care of yourself," Minnie sighed. "Call me if you need anything. I'll talk to the director. Perhaps you can go back to the set in a few days." "Alright," Coco responded.After her best friend left, Coco was left alone in the 40-square-foot apartment. A sense of loneliness surrounded her.Coco grabbed her phone and searched for Lucas' name in her contacts. After hesitating shortly, she made the call.The call connected, and there was a low voice on the other end of the phone. "Hey." Feeling nervous, Coco involuntarily tightened her grip on the phone. "Hey… I don't know if you know, but the story about my past was on the news.""Yeah, I know," Lucas replied, his voice pra

After the call was ended, Coco put on her mask and cap and headed to the grocery store with only her phone and purse. Minnie and Coco had talked about this before. Although she did make the news occasionally, she was not a celebrity. No one would recognize her in a small town like this.Even so, Coco could not help but worry about privacy, especially when Lucas suggested having a meal together. What if the public recognized them? She could not imagine the trouble they would be in for causing a commotion.Coco grabbed some groceries in the supermarket. Knowing she had to spend a few more days in the apartment, she bought more for the rest of her stay. After that, Coco returned to the apartment and began the preparations. She washed the rice and rinsed the vegetables and meat, ready to cook.By the time Lucas arrived, Coco was still cooking. "Wait a minute. There's one more dish to go. Food will be ready soon," Coco greeted Lucas and told him to have a seat first.Lucas sat in the

"Well… I didn't mean it that way…" Coco began to stammer. "Umm, no, that's not what I meant. I mean…""Even if anything had happened, you seem to be one on the losing end, and…""Besides, you certainly wouldn't hurt me, I think…" Coco mumbled, her face turning even redder as she tried to explain herself.'Pfft!' Lucas could not resist, and a laugh escaped him. Coco was so cute and funny, especially with her reddened cheeks and hand movements, which reminded him of a squirrel.Coco froze when she saw the clear amusement reflected on his face. Lucas would usually wear a polite, small smile, but this time, his smile was genuine."What?" Lucas asked, looking at the way she was staring at him blankly."You have a beautiful smile," she complimented, her hand instinctively reaching out for his cheek. Coco had an urge to draw his smile at this moment. She wanted to use her eyes to record his genuine smile; he could melt glaciers with that smile.Lucas stared at Coco, wondering if he s

"You won't hurt me," Coco said, trust evident in her eyes.Lucas narrowed his eyes dangerously. "What makes you think I won't? I'm a man, you know.""Because you promised, so you won't hurt me. I trust you," Coco said. She knew Lucas had another woman in his heart, and everything he did with Coco was for the one he loved.Something flashed in his eyes. A short silence later, his lips parted to speak. "Don't trust me too much. I'm not like what you think.""Oh," Coco responded, her eyes bright and confident.Lucas could see the unquestionable trust in her eyes. Her faith was a weight pressing down on his body, threatening to crush him.-Loke came to Minnie and demanded immediately, "Where's Coco?""Why should I tell you, huh?" Minnie scowled at Loke. "Haven't you caused enough trouble for her? It's all your fault! She can't even go home now! Now, the reporters are coming for her because of what you did!" "So, she hasn't been home for the last two days, right?" Loke asked shar

Over the next few days, Coco did not see much news about her online. Her alias was mentioned during the promotion of the TV series, but it did not garner much negative attention. Realizing that the storm was over, she let out a sigh of relief.Coco knew this was all because of Lucas' help. Without him, the storm would have grown and lasted longer. Fortunately, the worst had passed quickly.On the days they agreed to date, Lucas came over and spent time with Coco in the serviced apartment. He would sit on the sofa, either reading books or watching TV shows while she drew him in her sketchbook.If Coco was fast, she could finish a sketch of him within fifteen minutes. If she took her time, she would take half an hour to finish.Coco loved to draw close-ups of his face, focusing on his chiseled features. Lucas was so mysterious, yet so strangely attractive. The more she tried to understand him, the less she could read him. Although he seemed cold, his eyes were full of stories, all ki

She was stunned at his next words. "I will never have children of my own. I won’t be able to understand what you’re saying," Lucas said as he lowered his head, almost as if he was blocking off contact with his surroundings. -A week later, Coco moved back to her place and joined the film crew according to her schedule. She began to help Tracy, the screenwriter, with the script. However, she could feel strange gazes on the first day on set. After all, the rumors about her had spread like wildfire a few days ago. Even though it was quickly replaced by other trending gossip, almost everyone in the crew knew what had happened. But, what they learned online wasn’t the truth. "That’s her, the bully in university. It serves her right to be bullied in the end!" "I thought that she was a lovely person when I read her comics, but she deceived everyone." "I think Stella regrets picking her comic. Others would be way better than hers." Coco could hear their murmurs even though they were w

“……” 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
