Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to attend it."Uhh… okay. Well, see you tonight, then," Caleb said awkwardly before ending the call.Lucas got into his car to pick Coco up. He would be seeing Serenity tonight again. He would show Serenity that he had moved on if that was what she wanted. His mind flashed back to the moment when Serenity held onto him at the cliff when they were young. She never let go even though they were in great danger. Later, she used all her strength to carry him on her small back. He had vowed to be nice to Serenity from then onward. She had become an obsession for him. Soon, Lucas arrived at the styling salon. The manager quickly greeted him, “Mr. Gomez, Ms. Souza has already chosen a dress, and she’s with the stylist in the dressing room. Would you like to wait at the lounge or go to her?” “I’ll go to her.”Lucas was stunned the moment he saw Coco. Coco’s makeup was nearly done. She stood up to greet him as soon as he was there. “Hey.” The stylis

“You can pick something else if you don’t like it,” Lucas said. “This one is fine.” Coco went into the fitting room with the dress while Lucas sat on the couch to wait for her.Lucas knew that anyone could wear purple, but seeing Coco in purple made him uncomfortable although she looked beautiful and elegant in it. After Coco changed into the pink gown, Lucas commented, “This looks better on you, but your neck looks a bit bare.” Then, he turned to the manager, “Please get us some accessories.” The manager quickly brought over some matching jewelry. Coco realized that the jewelry was probably authentic and expensive since the manager handled them with gloves on. “Let’s try the pearl necklace and earrings set,” Lucas said. Then, he took the necklace and put it on Coco. The cold touch of the necklace and his warm breath on her neck made her flush. His gesture was like a scene straight out of a romance comic. "What do you think?" Lucas asked."Huh?" Coco was startled and looked

Coco wondered what Lucas had done out of love for Serenity and how madly Lucas was in love with Serenity. "Why are you staring at me?" Lucas broke the silence.Coco was startled, and she snapped out of her thoughts. “I was just thinking that you don’t seem to like purple.” Lucas glanced at her as if she was probing too much. Coco quickly explained, "When we went shopping last time, you picked mint green over purple for me. And today, you chose pink instead of purple. I just thought you might not like purple."Lucas paused for a moment before saying, "It’s not that I don’t like purple. I just think other colors suit you better."“Ohh…” “Don’t worry about the banquet tonight. Just be yourself. However, remember one thing.” “What is it?” Coco asked nervously.“You’re deeply in love with me. Don’t forget that no matter what,” Lucas reminded her seriously.For a moment, Coco was sucked into his gaze as if he was hypnotizing her, constantly reminding her that she was his girlfriend.-T

"Look at me like you’re doing now and adjust my collar," Lucas said as he stayed close to Coco. Coco blushed shyly and lightly fumbled with the collar of his suit and shirt."Like this?""Yes," Lucas said as he smiled back at her lovingly. Coco knew that he was just acting. She could feel all eyes on them without looking around. "A lot of people are watching us," she whispered."I know. Let them watch.” The attention was what Lucas wanted. Just then, a voice was heard, “Being affectionate with each other the moment you arrive. I’m envious of you guys!” It was Caleb, whom Coco had met before. He had a new female companion by his side today. “Hey,” Lucas straightened up and greeted Caleb.They continued chatting. It was obvious that Caleb didn’t plan to introduce his female companion to Lucas and Coco. To him, she was just a fling, so there wasn’t a need to introduce her. Caleb's gaze shifted to Coco. “Coco, I almost couldn’t recognize you. You look so beautiful today! It seems

Joanna looked at Coco enviously. “Coco, may I know which business field your family is involved in? How did you meet Mr. Gomez?""I'm just a cartoonist. My family doesn't run any business. I come from an ordinary family," Coco replied. "I met Lucas in a restaurant.”There wasn’t a need to hide these facts as they weren't secrets.Joanna was surprised. She assumed that Coco had a significant family background to become Lucas's girlfriend, but she was only a cartoonist. She wondered if Coco was worthy to be in a relationship with Lucas. Joanna couldn’t help but feel a surge of jealousy. Her family owned a small business, but Caleb hadn't even bothered to introduce her to anyone.Just then, a scornful voice was heard, “Who do we have here? Oh, it's you. Do you belong at a banquet like this?"Coco looked up to see Aubrey in a couture gown. Coco remembered her from the previous gathering. Aubrey was a socialite from Solaria and could be considered Lucas's childhood friend.Coco could see

Gasps erupted around them, and Coco was stunned.She found herself in Lucas's arms. “Sorry I'm late,” Lucas said softly.Those few words brought tears to Coco's eyes.Although she had boldly retorted Aubrey and the others just now, only she knew how nervous she had been, feeling as if she were on a battlefield.She gradually calmed down with Lucas protecting her now. Lucas looked at Aubrey and her friends coldly. “Aubrey, do you want to have a word with my girlfriend?” Aubrey panicked as she noticed Lucas’s voice was laced with anger. "Lucas, it was just a misunderstanding. I… I was just...""A misunderstanding?" Lucas snapped his fingers for the waiter who was distributing drinks. He took a glass of red wine and handed it to Aubrey. "Do you think I'm stupid?"Aubrey turned pale. She wondered if Lucas was asking her to throw the drink on herself. Doing so at a banquet would be utterly humiliating.Aubrey looked toward Caleb, who was standing beside Lucas, for help. He hesitant

The people were surprised to learn that she was a cartoonist. They couldn't believe Lucas would date someone insignificant like her. Just then, there was a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.Lucas was stunned after turning his head toward the direction. Coco, who was holding his arm, noticed his reaction first. When Jackson and Serenity entered the hall, a lot of people walked up to them to greet them. Coco had bumped into Serenity at a mall back then, and she had later found photos of Jackson online.She looked up at Lucas instinctively and noticed that his gaze was fixed on Serenity. Meanwhile, Jackson seemed to sense something and looked their way, followed by Serenity.The four of them exchanged glances across the room.“Coco, let's go and say hello,” Lucas said, sounding slightly nervous.Coco was surprised to see that Lucas was nervous. Ever since Serenity had arrived, Lucas’s arm which she was holding had been stiff. Coco bit her lip and interlocked their finge

Coco nodded.Lucas looked at Serenity’s already rounded belly. “I thought you were going to stay home since you’re in the second trimester.” “I’m actually doing fine. It’s too boring to spend most of my time at home. So, I came along with Jack,” Serenity said. Then, she complimented Coco’s outfit. “Coco, you look very beautiful today.”“Is that so?” Coco smiled shyly. “It’s all thanks to Lucas. He prepared everything for me. This is my first time attending such a grand banquet, so I’m not very familiar with the etiquette.”Her honesty made Serenity like her more. “You'll get used to it in time,” Serenity said.Coco blinked. She wondered if Serenity meant that she would be accompanying Lucas to many more banquets in the future. “Lucas is a sweet guy,” Serenity added.“Yes, I know. He’s a nice man,” Coco said with a smile.Jackson then turned to Serenity. “You shouldn't stand for too long. Let's find a place to sit and continue chatting.”“Yeah, that’s right,” Lucas said before Serenit

“……” 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
