"Of course I'll go," Coco answered with a chuckle, "It's the wrap party of my first comic adaptation. I wouldn't miss it for the world.""Alright, then I'll go with you," Minnie replied.After Minnie left, Coco's smile gradually faded. She slapped her cheeks, reminding herself to pick herself up and become the old Coco again.Her reliance on Lucas stopped here. She needed to become a strong and independent Coco who didn't have to depend on others.In the following days, Coco settled into a routine, shuttling between her apartment and the studio.Her two assistants were aware of the incident at the Comic Con. These days, they kept their heads down and focused on their work, refraining from saying anything about it.One day, while Coco was working on her sketches with her assistants, her aunt, Clementine, came to look for her at the studio.The moment she saw Coco, Clementine fell to her knees. "Coco, I know our family has wronged you, but we're relatives after all. Please show me
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2899
Clementine's face turned pale. She glared at Coco, her resentment evident. "This isn't over," she spat before storming off.Coco turned around and saw her two assistants looking over. "Alright, let's get back to work," she said.One of the assistants voiced concern, "Coco, your aunt doesn't seem like the type that would let the matter rest. Shouldn't you take precautions?"The other assistant chimed in, "Don't worry, Coco's boyfriend is Lucas Gomez. What can her aunt do?"Coco pursed her lips. "You guys should stop saying that Lucas is my boyfriend. We've broken up," she revealed.Shocked, the two assistants exclaimed, "What? No way!""It's true. Alright, let's get back to work. If we don't finish this, you two will have to stay and work overtime," Coco stated.The assistants exchanged glances and swiftly returned to their tasks.Coco settled back into her chair. She had no idea what her aunt would do next, but she would not compromise!After Clementine exited the building,

He made the difficult decision to let her go and had refrained from seeing her since then, but he couldn't suppress the growing thoughts of her. It had only been a few days, yet he missed her so much. Somehow, she had become incredibly important to him, to the point where he would spend sleepless nights gazing emptily at the bed she once occupied in the mansion."Why can't you give me a little more time? How can you be so certain that I'll never fall in love with you?" He whispered these words into the air, sounding incredibly lonely.Coco's assistants departed the studio for the day, but Coco remained. She hunched over the worktable, engrossed in her artwork.A slight pang in her stomach caused her a bit of discomfort. Coco got up, brewed a cup of hot tea, and resumed her work. Immersing herself in her work and the beauty of art was her only solace from the troubles of reality.She continued painting until hunger interrupted her focus. Glancing up to check the time, she saw

Lucas frowned, worried about Coco. Her face was pale, and her body was trembling slightly."Are you going to take the subway back by yourself? Even in this state?" A sour look covered his face as he bent forward and picked her up."Don't... " Coco exclaimed, but it was no use. Lucas carried her in his arms, heading toward the subway exit.Many people in the subway turned their eyes to them. If she struggled, they would only attract more attention. Unable to think, Coco buried her head in Lucas' arms, hiding from their sight. Lucas glanced down at the woman in his arms. She no longer resisted his touch, obedient and docile like before. If he could, he would love to keep holding her like this. Lucas quickened his steps at the thought of her pale face. He carried her to his car within minutes and carefully put her in the passenger seat.Coco's face was very pale, a layer of sweat forming on her forehead."I'll take you to the hospital. You look unwell," Lucas said. He whisked a t

Awkwardly fidgeting, Lucas paced back and forth, guessing what caused her cramp. A voice suddenly rang beside him, "That must be your girlfriend." Lucas turned to see a man in his fifties, and he was unable to answer the latter."There's no need to ask. She's either his girlfriend or wife." The wife stood next to the stranger and chuckled. "Look at the worry on his face, the same way you used to worry about me.""You're my wife. Of course, I'll be worried about you," the man answered, and a sweet smile appeared on the wife's wrinkled face.Just then, the door opened, and Coco came out with a red face and a hand on her stomach."What did the doctor say?" Lucas asked worriedly.Coco looked very embarrassed. After hesitating slightly, she said, "I'll go buy something, you… Sit here and wait for a while.""What do you need? I'll go get it," Lucas said urgently."I'll get it myself," she said, her face turning red. "You're feeling unwell! What do you need and where can I get it

Coco's eyes flickered. "He's a nice guy. I'm just not good enough for him." She no longer had the confidence to date him. She could not make him fall in love with her anyway, so she chose to part ways with him!Coco's answer left the couple totally flabbergasted. They were at a loss for words.Silence blanketed the room. Just then, Lucas finally returned with the sanitary pads. Coco grabbed the pads and headed to the restroom. When she came out, she saw Lucas waiting outside."I'm having cramps because of my period, plus I've been stressed lately. Maybe that's why it hurts more than usual. I don't need any medicine. I'll be fine in a day or two with good rest," Coco explained."Anyway, I'm fine. Besides…" Coco paused hesitantly, chewing on her lips. "Since I'm on my period, that means I'm not pregnant. We should be relieved." Coco locked her eyes on Lucas, her expression intent.Lucas' heart sank at her words. Not pregnant? He had not thought of this at all, even when he had rus

"He's really good-looking. You have a good eye." The neighbor smiled and stepped into the elevator.Coco was embarrassed.Lucas reminded, "You'd better open the door or your other neighbors may come and ask again."Coco hesitated for a heartbeat. Then, she opened the door and let him inside."What else do you need, Mr. Gomez? I'm home now," Coco turned around, asking him.Lucas pursed his lips, his gaze on her abdomen. "Does it still hurt?""A little. But it's tolerable, just like my usual period cramps." As she spoke about her period cramps, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.Lucas frowned. He had no idea how much pain came with period cramps."I’ve heard a cup of hot ginger tea would make you feel better during period cramps," Lucas said abruptly, having heard that from his friends' past conversation with Caleb."And?" Coco asked in reply.Turning around, Lucas headed straight to the kitchen. Coco quickly followed, only to see him grabbing the tea and pot from her pantr

"I like you, Coco. I really do. I don't know when I can turn these feelings into love, but it's you, so anything is possible!"The melodious voice echoed in the room and struck her."Coco, are you really giving up on me?"A knot formed in Coco's throat. She just could not say no at that moment.Until Lucas left, Coco still did not give him an answer. She was still obviously shaken from Lucas' words earlier.Coco carefully took a sip of the ginger tea. She glanced at her almost empty cup and realized the tea had actually eased her stomach cramps.It was Coco's first time falling so deeply in love. She loved Lucas so much. Her feelings for Lucas were much stronger than her infatuation with Loke in university. How could she not be swayed? The man of her dreams had said he liked her. The man she loved asked if she was really giving up on him. Coco's mind replayed what Lucas had told Jackson in the hospital. Not wanting another unseemly breakup because of Serenity, Coco suppressed t

“……” 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
