"Clara and Wilson?" Lucas followed Coco's gaze and then asked, "Do you want to go say hello?""Yes," Coco replied, "but let's wait until the reporters leave."Soon, they walked over when the reporters left. "Hello, Clare," Coco greeted.Clara was surprised to see Coco. "Coco, you're here too?""Yes," Coco replied.Clara then greeted Lucas and introduced, "This is my husband, Wilson." She turned to Wilson and said, "Wilson, this is Mr. Gomez's girlfriend, Coco.""Nice to meet you," Coco said and extended her hand."Nice to meet you too," Wilson replied politely, shaking her hand while glancing between Lucas and Coco.After exchanging a few pleasantries, Coco turned to Clara and said, "Clare, let’s catch up over there. It's been a while.""Sure," Clara smiled.Coco then looked at Lucas."Go ahead. Mr. Birch and I will come over later," Lucas said.Coco and Clara walked toward another seating area.Watching the two women leave, Wilson suddenly commented, "I didn't expect you to have a gi

Lucas smiled bitterly. He agreed with Wilson. In this world, no matter how powerful or wealthy one might be, there would always be things that were beyond their control.Meanwhile, Coco and Clara had moved to the lounge area. Coco asked, "How is Serenity doing lately? Is she okay?""She's fine, but she needs to stay in bed all the time. If all goes well, she should be able to carry the baby until 37 weeks before giving birth," Clara replied."That’s good news." Coco sighed in relief.Clara took a moment to observe Coco's outfit. She looked elegant and sophisticated. She knew that Lucas must have prepared it for her, it wasn’t just any ordinary designer piece."By the way, you look stunning today. I almost didn't recognize you," Clara said. "It seems that things between you and Mr. Gomez are going well.""Yeah," Coco replied. "Lucas is a wonderful person."Coco had always wanted to treat him better because of that."Yes. He’s a nice man, and he takes relationships seriously. Even Sere

Coco found herself in a dilemma. She was wearing pieces of jewelry, but they were all Lucas', so she couldn't donate them. She also didn't bring anything else with her, so she was at a loss for what to do.The host, noticing her silence, jokingly remarked, "You must be having a hard time deciding what to donate. Any small item will do..."Coco remained silent. After a while, whispers could be heard from around her."She’s unwilling to donate?""Some people dress so luxuriously but are so stingy.""Why is she even attending a charity event if she's so stingy?"Aubrey Stewart, who was nearby, scoffed as she observed Coco's awkward predicament. When she found out that the charity event had a segment like this, she bribed the person in charge of the spotlight to shine it on Coco during the segment.She wanted Coco to realize how ridiculous it was for an "ugly duckling" like her to try to fit in among the "swans"!Clara wanted to help Coco, but before she could, Coco spoke up, "I wa

"Don't worry, I'm here for you. Just draw like you usually do," he whispered softly, ensuring that only the two of them could hear. His words of assurance instantly calmed her nervous heart.Taking a deep breath, Coco placed the paper on the coffee table in front of her and started sketching with the pen in her hand. She forgot about her surroundings; her complete focus was on Lucas. Her eyes remained fixed on him as her hand skillfully captured his likeness on the paper. The concentration she exhibited gradually silenced the previously noisy venue.All eyes were glued to Coco and Lucas, illuminated by the spotlight. To many observers, they appeared to be a perfectly matched couple.After some time, Coco finally completed the sketch. She let out a long breath and said, "It's done."The nearby staff approached to collect the drawing and pen from her.The host on stage said, "Thank you, Mr. Gomez and his lovely girlfriend. I'm looking forward to obtaining a good price for the ar

Even though they currently lived together and displayed affection in public, she knew it's all fake. Their marriage would eventually end in divorce."One day, you'll also find a new love. You'll meet a woman who loves you, and you'll love her too," Clara stated, mustering a forced smile.Unbeknownst to her, her smile stung his eyes. "You really want me to find a new love?" he questioned."Yes, I do," Clara answered.Wilson's expression darkened. "You're that eager to dump me?"Clara's smile turned stiff. "Neither of us is dumping the other. What we had was perhaps just missed opportunities. You've missed out on me, and I've missed out on you too."Those missed opportunities had now transformed into an unbearably bitter pill that she had no choice but to swallow.The highly anticipated charity auction began at the banquet, featuring a diverse array of valuable items.Bidding for the auction items in this kind of charity event had become a symbol of social status. Some individ
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2842
And after that, she would look for an excuse to destroy the drawing. That way, Coco's actions today would become a joke!Aubrey wore a confident smile while she envisioned her plan. However, her confidence shattered when someone suddenly shouted, "$15 million!"Startled, Aubrey turned her head to look at Lucas in disbelief. He had actually...bid $15 million!Coco couldn't believe her ears. $15 million?! Did she mishear, or did he make a mistake?!The auctioneer on stage was clearly taken aback by the $15 million bid as well. It took him a moment to say, "Mr. Gomez has bid $15 million. Is there a higher bid?"Silence blanketed the venue. $15 million for a piece of artwork by an unknown comic artist? The guests may be rich, but they're not stupid!"Are you...are you crazy?" Coco grabbed Lucas' arm and asked in a whisper."It's a portrait of me that you drew. I think that price is reasonable," Lucas replied."But...""The Gomez family intended to donate the money to charity anywa
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2843
That's his girlfriend... Unbeknownst to him, he has slowly grown accustomed to her presence, finding comfort in her closeness....When he was with her, he felt more relaxed.She thought he had given her a lot of help, but little did she realize that it was actually she who was a great help to him...Coco was roused from her sleep by a call from Minnie."Coco, did Lucas Gomez really spend $15 million to buy your drawing yesterday?" Minnie asked, astonishment evident in her voice.Still groggy, Coco replied, "How... How do you know?""I saw it online, but someone seems to be suppressing the news so that it doesn't go viral. I only found out because my coworker told me," Minnie explained.Coco was now feeling more awake. She was glad the news didn't go viral."That's so crazy! He actually spent $15 million to buy your drawing! Aren't you rich now?" Minnie asked."No, he bid for it at a charity event, so the money’s going to charity. The Gomez family was going to donate that mone
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2844
Coco was relieved to hear that. "Okay, I'll do it," she said."You need to make some preparations for the Comic Con. You have to come up with some promotional phrases," Minnie began discussing the Comic Con details with Coco.While that was happening, Caleb arrived at Lucas’ office."I can't believe you actually spent $15 million to purchase your girlfriend's drawing. Looks like you're more serious about this than I thought," Caleb remarked.Lucas gave his friend a casual glance. "Did you come here just to say that?""I came to warn you about Aubrey. You should keep an eye on her. I'm worried she might do something reckless," Caleb expressed his concern."Shouldn't you try to talk her out of it instead of telling me about it? If I find out that she did something bad, do you think I'll forgive her?" Lucas responded coldly.Caleb chuckled dryly. "I’m warning you about it because, with your abilities, you can definitely minimize the damage if she does try something. If I didn't war

“……” 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
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
