"W-What did you just say?" Clementine and Harold were stunned by Coco's refusal."I won't help!" Coco repeated, her voice cold. "Harold, the house is your own matter. I'm not obligated to raise the money for you. If you can afford it, then buy a house. If you can't afford it, you should consider renting!" "You're living your best life with Mr. Gomez, yet you want your cousin and his wife to live in a rental?!" Clementine suddenly raised her voice."Mom, calm down. You'll scare Coco," Harold hurriedly interrupted his mother and quickly turned to Lucas with an apologetic look on his face. "Mr. Gomez, I hope you don't mind it. My mom just didn't think Coco would say something like this and got a little angry… Well, we're always a family. Whenever someone in the family has difficulties, all of us should work together and think of ways to overcome the challenges in life.""Oh? Family?" Lucas arched a brow."Yup. If my parents hadn't adopted Coco, maybe Coco would have grown up in an o

"My hand… It hurts!" Clementine cried out in pain."M-Mr. Gomez! How can you hurt an elderly woman?!" Harold hurriedly helped his mother up."So what?" Lucas' voice was ice-cold. "Like I said, I won't let anyone hurt Coco.""Mr. Gomez, don't let her fool you! She's a jinx! Her parents wouldn't be dead if not for her! You can ask her yourself. She is the reason her parents died!"Knowing that there was no way he could get the money, Harold decided to break the peace. He wanted to give Coco a hard time for her refusal to help him.Lucas noticed Coco was trembling, her face becoming paler than ever."Mr. Gomez, she'll only bring you bad luck! You must be careful!" Harold said it like it was a well-meant advice."Not long after we took her in, my father was dismissed from work. He had to search for another job, which was tougher. My mom had always been healthy, but she got very ill because Coco came to the family. Because of Coco, I didn't do well in my midterm and college entrance
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2805
Coco's breath hitched before she replied. She seemed hesitant, almost as if she were worried about something.Looking at her hesitation, Lucas flicked her forehead. "It seems you aren't determined to love me. How can you make me love you?"Coco put her hand on her forehead. "Coco, don't you want me to fall in love with you?" His deep voice ringing filled her ears as she stared at him in a daze. Then, her eyes filled with tears.Tears were soon running down her cheeks. It all happened so fast that she could barely react in time. She never realized she would cry.Her tears left Lucas stunned. "Did I flick your forehead too hard? It must've hurt. Sorry, I should've been more careful…"Before he could finish speaking, she suddenly jumped into his arms and burst into tears. She had a lot of bottled-up feelings, and all her helplessness, fear, and grievance broke free in that instance.Lucas looked at Coco bawling in his embrace and was at a loss to know why. He knew what he had to do,

Besides..." Coco paused slightly. "When my parents died, they took all the compensation money and inheritance, leaving me with nothing. They're not broke. They're just too greedy."Coco did not want to fulfill their greed."Alright, that's enough." Coco took a deep breath to calm herself. "I have to continue working on the draft. If I don't finish it, I'll have to stay up late today."With that, Coco went back to her work table and started drawing the script. Lucas stayed and watched Coco quietly until he was lost in thought.-By the time Coco finished the draft, it was already 6 in the evening. "Sorry, I lost track of time," she apologized."Done with work?" Lucas asked."Yeah.""Let's go eat, then. What do you want?""Maybe somewhere nearby. Remember the restaurant where we met the second time?" Coco mentioned.Something flickered in Lucas' eyes. That place held a lot of his memories of Serenity because she used to work there before the new restaurant took over the place.

Coco hurriedly added, "Well, if you're not available, it's fine… I-I'll go by myself like I always did.""I'm free. I can go with you," Lucas said. "I was just thinking about what to bring for the visit."Coco let out a sigh of relief. "You don't have to bring anything. I'll get everything ready. You just have to accompany me."After saying that, Coco resumed her meal.Lucas was silent for a moment, perhaps pitying her. He had always been cold, rarely showing sympathy, but this time, he felt different. Instantly, the need to protect her and keep her safe from all danger welled up inside him.-Wilson quickly arranged a place for Clara. According to Wilson, if they were going to act like a loving couple in front of the press, they would have to do it right.Clara spoke to her mother about this. Mrs. Wells said, "You should take Yanny and Amy with you. I'll stay here, and I don't plan to move over.""But I can't leave you here," Clara protested."Why not? I still have to run the
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2808
Clara spoke to her son as she gently placed her six-month-old daughter on the soft and fluffy sofa. "Okay, Yanny, you stay with your sister. I want to talk to your dad alone," Clara told Yannick. Yannick then took the toys for Amy and played with her.Clara turned to Wilson and said, "Let's go somewhere and talk."After a glance at her, Wilson took her hand and led her to the study on the second floor. Clara instinctively tried to withdraw her hand, but Wilson whispered, "There are helpers in the villa. If you don't want them to think we're not close, you'd better not move."Clara froze. She gritted her teeth and stopped trying to pull her hand away. Instead, she followed Wilson to the study obediently.After closing the door behind them, Wilson quickly released her hand and told Clara, "Well, what do you have to say?""I just want to inform you about my schedule. I'll be at the store during the day and bring Yanny home in the afternoon after he finishes school. If you need me

"Clara, I thought we were supposed to act like a loving couple. You can't even handle one kiss? How are you going to convince others that we're in love?" Wilson demanded."I'll be careful in front of others, naturally. But I don't want any of this, especially when it's just us. It's unnecessary." Such intimacy would only give her an emotional rollercoaster again, breaking the peace that ruled in her heart."Unnecessary?" Wilson's voice was cold, his eyes locked on her."Isn't it?" Clara said and met his gaze.Silence blanketed the room as they stared at each other. Pursing her lips, Clara broke the silence and changed the subject. "By the way, I'll share a room with Yanny and Amy. Amy can sleep in the crib.""Yanny's room is ready. You're staying with me. I'll have the crib moved to our bedroom shortly," Wilson informed."We’re sharing a room?" Clara was shocked."Why would a couple in love sleep in separate rooms? Don't you find that weird? There are many eyes in the villa. T

Wilson had never gotten such a long look at his daughter. The baby had stayed in the neonatal ward for a long time after Clara had given birth to the child. He had only seen the baby a few times, and all he could do was look in through the glass.Maybe his subconscious mind was afraid of his attachment to the child. The longer he looked at her, the more he would be emotionally attached to her. That would make him reluctant to part with her."Umm… I'm going to wash up. If the baby wakes up crying, just hold her for a little while. She'll stop crying as soon as you hold her," Clara said.Wilson furrowed his brow slightly. Hold… the little one?"Okay, sure." Speaking of which, he had not really held his daughter much.Clara made her way into the bathroom and washed up. After that, she opened the door only to hear her daughter's cry and Wilson struggling to hold the child."You said she'd stop crying if I held her!" Wilson blurted out when he saw Clara quickly rushing over to help.

“……” 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
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 3369
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
