There was a short pause, then Lucas continued, "Well, Snow resembles Serenity very much. That's indeed why I saved Snow abroad. I didn't want her to fall deeper into the pit, so I provided her a job."Coco did not expect Lucas to tell her so much. Lucas had never liked to explain himself, but he was giving her an explanation.Coco seemed confused, so Lucas quickly clarified, "I'm saying this because I don't want you to get the wrong idea.""Oh." Coco nodded. "But she seems to know a lot about you," she said, a hint of jealousy in her tone."What about you? What do you want to know about me? I'll tell you everything you want to know." Lucas stroked her hair in encouragement."I want to know about you and Serenity. Will you tell me that too?" Coco blurted out, then she froze as she realized what she had said.Lucas' dark eyes fixed on hers, and they seemed to burn with emotions she could not understand. Coco swallowed hard. She could have just said that it was a joke, and busines

A flicker of something flashed in Lucas' eyes."Yeah. I missed my chance with Serenity, but at least I'm here with you," he whispered. Maybe he was at God's mercy, so he had met her that fateful day."I don't know how long it'll take me to fall in love with you, Coco," Lucas admitted frankly. "But… If you're willing to stay by my side all the time, I want to marry you." Coco was struck dumb by Lucas' melodious voice."Get married?! You want to marry me?""Yes. As long as you're willing, I want you to be my wife."Lucas hoped Coco would not despise him for his inability to love her. If she could accept him as who he was, he would give her everything in his power!-Was that a proposal? That thought had been bothering her, even after Lucas left the studio. Was this a compensation for her? Because he did not have the confidence to fall in love with her? But why would anyone use marriage as compensation? Coco kept thinking about this until she became confused.Fortunately, he

Uncle Dave remained nice to her, but Aunt Clementine's repeated demands eventually strained their relationship. Their relationship soon turned sour, and she no longer spoke her mind to Uncle Dave.Aunt Clementine and Harold had always been the ones who demanded money from her. Why did Uncle Dave call her suddenly? Maybe she would find out soon!Coco felt a pang of pain in her heart, especially as she thought of her happy times with Uncle Dave as a child. How wonderful it would be if everything was the same as it used to be!Later at night, Coco came to visit Uncle Dave at home. Uncle Dave and his family were waiting for her arrival. Coco entered the living room and found her parents' black-and-white photos neatly displayed on the table. The incense and candles around her parents' portraits made it seem like an offering to her late parents."What's going on..." Coco looked around in confusion. What were they up to? This was not a special day nor her parents' death anniversary. D

"Is that so? You'd better hurry. I don't know if I'll be able to make it to your wedding." Dave pretended to sigh emotionally."Don't say that. The doctor said you can be cured with proper treatment, didn't he?" Clementine hushed."But it'll cost so much money. Let's just forget about it. I might as well leave the money to you and Harold. I just hate my incapability in my life. I couldn't make a fortune and give you a good life. I even dragged Coco down, and she has to suffer with us," Dave let out a heavy sigh."Coco, say something! Tell Uncle Dave to get better soon!" Clementine shouted at Coco."Is Uncle Dave sick?" Coco finally asked."Yeah. Dad got a medical checkup, but he's diagnosed with kidney disease," Harold revealed and began complaining, "The doctor says he needs timely treatment. If we delay it any longer, he may need a kidney transplant to save his life. If he wants to get better results from the treatment, he needs to use special medicines, which are really expensi

"I know it costs money to raise a child, but I didn't know it'd cost that much. Probably a couple hundred thousand, at most," Coco said mockingly. "After I got into university, you guys haven't paid for anything except for the necessary tuition fee. I had no money for my living expenses, so I had to work while I studied." "You're going to settle old scores, aren't you? If I'd known, I wouldn't have adopted you back then. Maybe you would have been better off growing up in an orphanage," Dave said harshly.Clementine quickly comforted Dave, trying to calm him. Then, it was Harold's turn to speak. "Coco, how can you be so stingy? You're so heartless, unwilling to pay to save my father. He's your uncle! What's there left to say? Our family doesn't need someone like you!""Why did you summon me here today? Was it for Uncle Dave's illness or the money?" Coco asked, her voice cold."For the illness, naturally! It takes money to cure the disease!" Clementine yelled."In that case, show

Lucas was about to take her inside, but Coco suddenly threw herself at him and buried her face deep into his chest.Lucas stiffened when she hugged him suddenly, a puzzled look on his face."Don't push me away. Let me hug you for a while, okay? I really want to be in your arms right now," she rasped, choking with sobs."Did something happen?" Lucas asked, realizing she was having a little emotional breakdown.Coco said nothing, but her hands tightened on his waist. Her body was so close to his.Lucas stopped asking questions. Lifting his hand, he wrapped one hand around her waist and gently stroked her hair with the other. It was a quiet embrace, their warmth comforting each other.Coco rested her face on Lucas' chest, inhaling his incredible scent. His familiar warmth was a comforting taste.When Coco ran into trouble in university, she always told herself to be strong. There was no one else she could rely on anyway. Coco wondered if things would be different with Lucas around.

Coco found it a bit strange. Uncle Dave and his family had been silent. There was no contact from them ever since. Did they finally give up on the idea?It seemed Uncle Dave was just faking his illness. Otherwise, he would have used his medical reports to demand more money. How could he let her go so easily?It was getting closer to Comic Con. While getting ready for Comic Con, Coco prepared some small gifts for her fans, such as some simple drawings. Two days before Comic Con, Coco informed Lucas about the venue for the event and the location of her booth. She hoped he could visit her after work, but he seemed to be planning to visit during the day.On the day of Comic Con, the number of fans who came to the book signing event far exceeded Coco's expectations. During the signing session, some fans asked her about her relationship with Lucas. They wondered if she was truly Mr. Gomez's girlfriend.Coco gave them all the same reply, "Sorry, but I don't really feel comfortable talki

Harold had an outburst of righteous anger as he spoke and tried to push Minnie away.Minnie resisted, trying her best to stop Harold. Afraid that her friend would get hurt, Coco rushed forward to help her. The moment she stepped forward, Harold took his chance and threw his hand at Coco's face. There was a loud, clear slap. Harold beat Coco so hard that her ear was buzzing, her cheeks burning with pain.Furious, Minnie began yelling at him. "How can you hurt her?! That's too much!""Why can't I beat her?! She's so heartless! It's all her fault!" Harold said righteously, "Even if you call the police, I'm still going to fight.""What do you guys think? Shouldn't someone like her get beaten?" Harold began stirring the crowd, and some voices responded in the crowd, "She deserves it!""How can she be so heartless! You should beat her!""How can someone like her be a cartoonist?! She should be blacklisted from the industry!"A one-sided fight somehow started, and people in the cro

“……” 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
