The nurse skillfully tied a tourniquet and tapped Coco's arm to locate a vein."Hold her still. Don't let her move when I draw her blood," the nurse instructed."Got it," Lucas responded. He let Coco rest her upper body against his chest while he held her shoulder with one hand and her arm with the other.As the needle pierced her skin, Coco instinctively tried to pull her arm away, but Lucas held her firmly."It hurts..." she complained pitifully."It'll be over soon. Just bear with it," he said patiently. He couldn't recall ever being so patient with any other woman except Serenity.Once finished, Lucas held Coco and waited for the results, which would take about 15 minutes.After ensuring the bleeding had stopped, he got up and disposed of the cotton ball in a nearby trash can.When he returned to her side, Coco was staring at him intently.“The nurse has drawn my blood…” She was still tipsy."Yes," Lucas replied. "It’s finished.""Can I kiss you now?" Coco asked while

Their teeth collided with each other, but Lucas was focused on the softness of her lips instead of the pain. Coco’s kiss sparked a strange feeling in him.Lucas had never liked being intimate with the women he dated. Despite having dated many women, he never allowed anyone to kiss him. However, he wasn’t repulsed by Coco’s kiss at all.He didn't know how long the kiss lasted, but she pulled away eventually and rested her head on his shoulder. Coco fell asleep soon.Lucas looked at Coco helplessly, wondering how much she would remember when she woke up.After receiving the test results and confirming that she was fine, Lucas carried Coco back to the car."Take us back to my villa," Lucas instructed the driver.Throughout the ride, Lucas couldn't help but space out as he looked at Coco. He kept wondering if he would come to love her. He wasn’t sure if he could ever love anyone again. If he did, he hoped that the woman would be Coco.-Coco felt like she had a long and swe

Just then, a maid entered the room with the hangover medicine and a cup of warm water. Her eyes widened in disbelief when she saw Lucas massaging Coco. Those who had worked there long enough knew that Lucas always kept his distance from women. They knew that he had liked Serenity for a long time, and the maids often speculated that Lucas might never date seriously again.Yet, last night, Lucas had brought a woman back to the villa, and now, he was massaging her temples. This was not something he would normally do!Lucas noticed the maid’s odd expression and frowned slightly. “Place them on the bedside table and leave.”"Yes, sir." The maid quickly left the room.Lucas handed the medicine and water to Coco. "Take this. It should help with the headache."Coco felt better after taking the hangover medicine. "Thank you for saving me yesterday," Coco said."I should have come earlier. Then, you wouldn't have had to suffer at all," Lucas replied, his expression darkening. “

"The maids?""I didn’t think that it would be appropriate for me to change your clothes, so I asked a maid to do it," Lucas explained.Coco sighed in relief, inwardly laughing at herself for overthinking.Of course, Lucas would order a maid to help her change. It was the most reasonable thing to do."Did I say or do anything inappropriate after I got drunk yesterday?" Coco asked hesitantly.Lucas was reminded of their kiss at the hospital. He turned away and said, “No, I don’t think so.” Since they were in a relationship, a kiss was acceptable for him."Alright, I'll go downstairs first. Once you're ready, come down for breakfast," Lucas said before leaving the room.Coco was left alone in the large room. She finally had the time to scan the unfamiliar surroundings. This one room alone seemed to be the size of her apartment.She stumbled out of bed feeling amazed and picked up the clothes Lucas had prepared for her. They were all luxury brands that were worth thousands. It

Coco wondered if Lucas would love her someday as she continued to eat her breakfast. Suddenly, her phone rang, and it was a call from Minnie. “Coco, have you seen today’s news?” Minnie sounded anxious. "News?" Coco paused, "I just woke up. Did something big happen?""Check it out now! The photos of you and Lucas kissing at the hospital yesterday are trending!" Minnie exclaimed.Coco nearly spit out her food again. "What?""I said, the photos of you and Lucas kissing have gone viral. Your face wasn’t blurred out in the original post. So, you’d better prepare yourself. A lot of people will likely know about your relationship with Lucas now," Minnie saidCoco was shocked. She never imagined she would make it to the top of the trending news.While she didn't intend to hide her relationship with Lucas, knowing her boyfriend was a prominent figure in the entertainment industry made her worry about the paparazzi and gossip."What's wrong?" Lucas asked, noticing her troubled expres

A few hours later, all the news reports of Coco and Lucas kissing had been taken down from the internet. However, her friends, colleagues, and those who knew her well were now aware of her relationship with Lucas.The filming crew even reached out to her to ask if it was true. Coco could only give a vague and awkward response.While that was happening, Layla stormed into Loke's office with a furious look on her face."Mr. Clark, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop her. She insisted on seeing you..." the secretary apologized with a guilty expression."It's alright. You may leave," Loke said.The secretary exited the office and closed the door behind her, leaving Layla and Loke alone in the office."You knew Coco's dating Lucas Gomez, didn't you?" Layla questioned sharply. Frustration was evident on her face, void of her usual composure."Yes," Loke responded without hesitation.Layla felt like a clown when she recalled the things she said to him. She thought Coco was still someone sh
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2790
After saying that, Layla stormed out without looking back. Loke lowered his gaze, his lips tinged with bitterness.Pay the price? He had already paid the most painful price a long time ago!The price he paid was that there was no longer any love for him in Coco's eyes. He had missed the chance to be with the person he loved forever!In the following days, Coco noticed a clear change in how people treated her. Even her two assistants in the studio would occasionally give her meaningful glances and jokingly ask if she was about to marry into a wealthy family!"We're just dating, what are you talking about?" Coco said."But if things go well, you'll get married, right?" one of the assistants remarked."Yeah, and I read online that the Crown Prince hasn't had a girlfriend in years. Coco, you're his first girlfriend in a very long time!" the other assistant chimed in.Coco chuckled. Her assistants thought Lucas loved her, but she was well aware that his feelings for her were not rom

"Try me," Coco said."What's going on? Tell me what?" a voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.Coco turned to the voice and saw Lucas making his way towards them. The actress was visibly taken aback to see him. She nervously said, "I-It's nothing, I was just joking with Miss Souza. Sorry, I have to go."With that, she left in a hurry."Did she say something offensive to you?" Lucas asked.Coco replied with a faint smile, "Yeah, she did, but I didn't let her get the better of me. After all, I have you as my strong support. In the entertainment industry, I doubt anyone dares to touch me now.""If anyone troubles you, just let me know," Lucas said.Coco hesitated for a moment before she said, "Is my incident back in college really no big deal? Now that our relationship is public, won't it make you look bad?"Lucas' gaze flickered slightly when he saw the genuine concern in her eyes. Was she worried about him?"No one dares to badmouth me, so don't worry," he replied, then

“……” 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
