Chapter 2664

Author: Anastasia Marie
"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

    Coco looked at Loke coldly. "I don’t need you to do anything for me. If you’re feeling guilty, I hope that you don’t show up in front of me again. That’s the best thing you could do for me." Loke turned pale. "Do you hate me that much?" "Do you expect me to be happy to see you?" Coco asked sarcastically. "Would I have to go through all these things if it wasn't for you using me to win over that girl you liked? Would my name appear on the trending news if you hadn’t done that?" "I know that I hurt you very deeply back then, but Coco, I hope that you can give me another chance to make it up to you," Loke said sadly. "You don’t have to do that!" Coco refused. "I must make it up to you, because…" Loke paused as his voice trembled. However, Coco didn’t bother talking to Loke anymore. She got up and wanted to leave the room. She would come back later when Tracy was done with Ash. Loke stepped in front of her and stopped her from leaving. "Wait, please listen to me, Coco," he pleaded.

    "Yes! Are you satisfied now?" Coco used Lucas as a shield.Loke pursed his lips. "Lucas isn’t the person you think he is. Your relationship with him won’t last long. Don’t make a life-regretting decision just because you’re angry with me, Coco!" "It was never because of you that I got together with him," Coco said expressionlessly. Then, she pushed him away and left the room. Loke looked heartbroken as he wondered if he still had a chance to be with Coco. There was a crowd not far away from Coco, and they were being rather loud. Coco was confused. Someone from the film crew walked up to her and patted her shoulder. "Hey, Coco. Ash is looking for you." "Ash is looking for me?" "Yes, he’s over there!" The crew pointed to the crowd. Coco moved nearer to the crowd and noticed people holding beautifully packaged festive cookies in their hands. She wondered if it was Christmas cookies, but it was still far away from Christmas. When she got closer, she noticed a lot of people were

    They had wanted to hurt Coco’s hands because Layla didn’t like Coco’s talent. Coco was lucky that her hands weren't harmed because the campus’s security guards had saved her in time. Later on, she found out the reason Layla had targeted her. After one of Coco’s comics was published, some of the classmates jokingly called her a professional cartoonist. Layla harbored hatred when she heard that because she hadn’t won first place in a comic drawing contest in high school. In Layla’s eyes, it was a sin for Coco to have her comics submitted and published!At this moment, Coco froze in place after hearing Layla’s words. Layla smiled brighter, picked up a box of cookies, and walked over to Coco. "Here, take this. Tell me if it’s good, I’ll send you a few more boxes later." She shoved the box into Coco’s hand. Coco subconsciously raised her hand, wanting to refuse. The box of cookies fell to the ground before her hands could touch the box. Layla put on a sad face. "Coco, you don’t have

    Actually Loke didn’t like Layla at all. When he became an exchange student abroad, he left without the slightest bit of attachment to her. "Let’s meet up after I finish handing out the cookies. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other. I have so many things to share," Layla said softly. Loke subconsciously glanced at Coco who was walking away and looked at Layla again. "Sure," he agreed. Layla and Loke went for lunch at a restaurant near Studio City.In the private room, Layla smiled at Loke and said, "How many years have you and I not seen each other? It’s been eight years, right? You didn’t contact me anymore after you went abroad. If it wasn’t for me seeing you in the photos of the filming kickoff ceremony of this TV series, I wouldn't have even known that you were back!" "What do you want by sponsoring this TV series under the name of your company?" Loke stared at her and asked. "Didn’t you invest in the TV series too? What about you? What kind of games are you playi

    Layla’s nails dug into her palms as Loke’s words replayed in her mind. She didn’t understand how Loke had fallen in love with a mediocre woman like Coco. He had been in love with her first! Layla wondered why Coco was always getting in the way. Coco had gotten first place when they entered a comic drawing contest together, and she had only gotten second place. If it wasn't first place, then she would rather have nothing. So, she had withdrawn her comic submission and stopped drawing comics altogether.Drawing comics was just Layla’s hobby, she never wanted to be a cartoonist. Later in university, she had met Coco, who was still drawing comics, and her comics were even published.Seeing her classmates praising Coco’s drawings made Layla mad. So, she wanted to ruin Coco’s life. Things were going according to what Layla had anticipated. Everyone despised Coco at school, and she lost interest in bullying Coco after that. She hadn’t expected Coco to become a cartoonist and even get h

    “……” 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
