My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 281
Something smells fishy! Serenity stared at her friend curiously, "So there is someone?""Kinda," Lisa smiled sheepishly, "There was someone I liked, but that guy looked really young. When I was with him, I felt like a cougar. It was just a fateful encounter... but it was pretty sweet.""......" A cougar? Serenity was speechless. Lisa was only 27 years old. "He's that young?" she asked."Yeah, he's quite young." She shrugged and said, "We met abroad... but afterwards... Sigh, I don't wanna talk about it. He's probably forgotten what I even look like by now."After all, a handsome man like him was probably surrounded by women all the time. There's no way he would remember someone he only spent a few days with for too long.Lisa felt that having one experience like that in her life was already enough.Serenity's face fell when she heard Lisa say "abroad". As far as she could remember, Lisa had only been abroad once. Before Serenity's accident, Lisa planned to further her studies in

He stared deep into her eyes. "Does it matter if I believe you or not?"She was stunned, and then she smiled to herself. Yeah, whether he believed her or not had nothing to do with her. Why was she so nervous when he looked at her just now?"I'm going back to my room," said Serenity. She tried to walk past Jackson to get to the stairs.But she only managed to take two steps before he grabbed her arm. The next moment, she was pulled into his embrace."I believe that you're innocent." He bent down and said next to her ear, "But do you really think you can find out anything investigating on your own like this? Three years have already passed. Have you ever thought that maybe the truth you wanted to uncover never existed in the first place?"Serenity's bright almond-shaped eyes looked back at Jackson. She smiled gently and said, "Rich and powerful people like you think that I can't possibly overturn the case with my own power, but a common folk like me still believes that one day, I c

"It doesn't matter if you’re her or not. You can only be with me and no one else!" He stared at the photo and declared coldly.It was a declaration of absolute dominance.He would never let her go or let anyone else get a chance!In a luxurious clubhouse suite, Aria Lewis was trying hard to please Lucas Gomez.She could not get any guarantee out of Serenity, so she could only put in more effort on Lucas's side.But to Aria’s frustration, from the time she walked into the suite, all he had asked about was Serenity. He asked what she was like as a child, how her grades were, and so on.He wanted to know everything about Serenity. As long as it's something related to Serenity, he was interested in hearing it, no matter how trivial.What the hell?! His girlfriend was her, not Serenity! Aria complained inwardly. However, she kept a gentle smile on her face and talked about some of the things she remembered about Serenity like they were loving siblings.They were just random, trivia

"Tell me more about your sister," Lucas said softly."Huh? You want me to speak... like this?" Aria asked hesitantly."Yes, like this," replied Lucas.Aria could only keep talking about Serenity while she silently cursed Serenity out.Serenity was just a sanitation worker! She's also an ex-convict! Even if she was pretty before, after three years in prison, there was no way her beauty could compare to Aria who took very good care of herself.What exactly did Lucas Gomez see in her?!Aria even had a weird suspicion that the reason why Lucas hadn't broken up with her yet was because she was Serenity's sister.Of course, the suspicion only surfaced in her mind for a fleeting moment before she suppressed it."After that... after that, my sister met Zeke Shaw. Zeke Shaw courted her for a long time. One time, my sister twisted her foot while hiking. Zeke Shaw carried my sister all the way down the mountain. My sister agreed to date him after that. They were a loving couple back then.

While she was struggling to carry him, she kept telling him, "Don't be scared. I'll carry you down the mountain and take you to the police."Don't be scared, huh?...She was the one who was trembling heavily. Even her voice was trembling.She was the one who was scared, but she kept comforting him."You're so heavy..." She would occasionally complain."Sorry," he apologized."Hehe, after you get better, you have to carry me back. Then we're even," she said with a smile as she continued to move her feet forward with great difficulty.He had never thought that he would one day be protected by a girl younger than him."Okay, I'll carry you back," he said it like it was a promise.He told himself that he would carry her on his back after this. No matter what the obstacles were, he would keep carrying her.Where was she?All these years, he had always regretted letting go of her hand.If he insisted on holding onto her hand back then, would she be by his side now?But all he co

If she kept working in the sanitation office, she would inevitably be given preferential treatment, and the other employees would surely look askance at her."No, I want a change in environment," said Serenity."Is that so?" The director thought that the person behind Serenity must have offered her a decent job, so he approved Serenity's resignation without much hassle. He did not deduct any of her salary for the time off she took and even paid her an extra month's worth of salary. He told the financial department to process the payment immediately.After leaving the sanitation office, Serenity took a deep breath. The extra month of salary was the director's way of showing goodwill, but to be frank, he did it because of Jackson Valor.If she had a backbone, she should have said no to the extra money.But she could not.Her grandmother was still in the hospital. The money she borrowed from Lisa would not last long. There might even be additional medical expenses in the future. Her

"No, I'll look for a job myself," she refused his offer.His face fell slightly, and the fingers holding her hand also tightened a little. "You don't want me to help you find a job?"Her body stiffened as if there was an invisible pressure all around her."I want to look for a job myself." She took a deep breath and met his eyes firmly.She would no doubt have an easier time if she let him find her a job. The job would probably be easy and high-paying too.But such a job... how long would it last?When he got tired of the game and drove her away, everything would burst like a bubble.Perhaps her refusal was also meant to preserve what little dignity she had left.That's right. The trials and tribulations of life and the cruelty of reality had taken away almost all her dignity.The old her could never imagine what it felt like to kneel before someone, but she had to do that multiple times in prison. She also had to eat food that had been tossed to the floor and had her head ste

Serenity blushed involuntarily. She tried to look away.But he stopped her by holding her jaw. "You were staring at me intently. Is it because I'm good-looking?"She was at a loss for words. What was she supposed to say? That he's good-looking? That he's not good-looking?Neither answer sounded right! Serenity felt her face become hotter. She wanted to avoid his eyes, but it was impossible.The maid who was standing nearby tactfully lowered her head. Although she was not looking at them, she could hear their conversation, and that was enough to shock her.Mr. Valor really was treating Miss Lewis differently from how he treated other women. Could the rumors be true? Would Miss Lewis really become the mistress of the Valor family?But... wasn't she a sanitation worker?Would Mr. Valor really... marry a woman like her?That night, Serenity lay in bed, unable to sleep. Through the moonlight that slipped through the window, she inspected her bandaged fingers. Jackson had been chang

“……” 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
