My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2938
"He was stabbed in the abdomen and needed eleven stitches. Luckily, it didn't hit any vital organs. The doctor wants him to stay in the hospital for observation, but if everything goes well, he can be discharged in a couple of days," Coco explained.Caleb grumbled, "Hmm... it seems he really does care about you, going as far as to risk his life for you. If it were me in danger, he'd probably just watch on coldly."Feeling awkward, Coco said, "He... he would probably save you too. You're his friend, he...""I know his personality well enough," Caleb shrugged. "He’s always been indifferent to everyone and everything except for the people he cares about. Back then, it was Serenity. Now, it's..."Caleb paused, suddenly feeling awkward himself. "Haha... Sorry for mentioning Serenity. I hope you don't mind," he laughed dryly."It's fine," Coco said softly, her eyelashes trembling as she lowered her gaze. "I know Lucas loves Serenity and has loved her for many years. If Serenity hadn't marrie

Coco was taken aback. Could it be possible? Given more time, could she replace Serenity's place in Lucas' heart?"If you really believe that Lucas will never fall in love with you, then how long do you think it will take for him to find someone he can truly love? It's been years since he was rejected by Serenity, yet you're the only one he found. If even you reject him, how long will it take for him to find that person you mentioned? Ten years? Twenty years? Or will he never find her? Life is short, Coco. He doesn't have an eternity to keep looking."Each word spoken by Caleb pounded on Coco's chest like a heavy boulder, making it difficult for her to breathe."Coco, I still believe that you are the only one who can pull Lucas out of despair. And he's someone you cannot miss out on. If you let him slip away because of your stubbornness, I guarantee you will regret it one day, and the regret will haunt you for the rest of your life!"Caleb spoke with unwavering conviction.Coco's g

Lucas glared at Caleb."Fine, I'll leave!" Caleb quickly said. After all, the patient's wish must be respected. He got up and headed for the door."Oh, by the way, Coco said she's only going home to grab something. She'll be back later," he added before exiting the hospital room, leaving Lucas alone.Lucas was stunned. It took him a while to regain his senses. He rubbed his forehead with a wry smile on his face.Earlier, he felt down because Coco was gone, and now, his mood was soaring after hearing what Caleb said.These fluctuations in his emotions were all due to Coco.What's wrong with him?... Although he liked Coco, this was too...Suddenly, the hospital room door swung open once again."Back already? Do you have something else to say?" Lucas sighed, assuming it was Caleb returning."Um... If you don't like me being here, I can stay outside," a timid voice spoke.Lucas froze. He looked up at the person standing by the door.She had a backpack slung over her shoulder and

Coco pursed her lips as she set her sketchbook aside, silently observing Lucas. Did she really want to let him slip away? And how long would it take for him to find someone he could truly love? She feared that jealousy might destroy their relationship, that his love for Serenity was too deep, that he would never truly fall in love with her.In this relationship, she feared many things.But... was she really going to let it end like this? Coco's hand instinctively reached out to gently stroke Lucas' cheek, feeling his warmth beneath her touch."Lucas, can I really do it?" she whispered, seeking an answer from him, but also asking herself.Lucas suddenly furrowed his brow, and he tossed his head from side to side with an uneasy expression on his face. "Coco... no..." he muttered.Coco was taken aback. Was he having a nightmare? And he's dreaming of her?She noticed a thin layer of sweat forming on his forehead, and the temperature of his skin beneath her hand seemed to be ris

Lucas, please let go so that the nurse can take your temperature," Coco persuaded."Don't jump, don't... I don't want to lose you... Coco, don't jump..." he continued to mumble."Alright, alright, I won't jump, I won't leave you," she said, unsure of the situation but decided to assure him. "Just let go for a moment so the nurse can take your temperature and check on you, alright?"Finally, her words seemed to get through to him. Slowly, his grip loosened, and Coco breathed a sigh of relief. The nurse quickly measured Lucas' temperature with a thermometer."103 degrees," she reported.Indeed, he had a fever.The nurse promptly informed the doctor.Lucas held Coco's hand the entire time. His eyes were half open, seemingly looking at her, yet lacking focus. He continued to murmur, "Don't jump... Coco, don't jump..."Soon, the doctor arrived, and Coco anxiously inquired, "Doctor, what's happening to him? He keeps saying incoherent things, and earlier... I think he had a nightmare.
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2943
"You're awake. Are you feeling alright?" Coco asked with concern."What happened to me?" Lucas inquired. He felt weak, and he was sweating all over."You had a fever last night. The doctor gave you an injection and an IV drip," she explained. "Thank goodness your fever has subsided. The nurse will come to check your temperature soon.""You stayed by my side all night?" he asked.She shyly smiled in response.His attention then shifted to their tightly intertwined hands. He immediately realized something and asked, "Have I been holding your hand the whole time?""You had a nightmare yesterday and kept calling my name. You held my hand and wouldn't let go," Coco curiously asked, "What did you dream about? Why did you keep telling me not to jump?"His face turned pale, and his gaze shifted to their intertwined hands as his grip involuntarily tightened. "I dreamt of you standing on the edge of a cliff, about to jump. I shouted desperately and ran over to try to grab you, but... it's

Although she left early, she was actually hiding in the shadows, looking on as his parents arrived to pick him up. She watched him get into the car and watched the car drive away from the hospital.She couldn't quite explain why she chose to hide. Perhaps she feared the awkwardness of facing his parents, or maybe... there were still unresolved matters within herself. She needed time to think it through before deciding how to approach the situation.After leaving the hospital, Coco hailed a taxi and headed to the Valor Residence. Serenity had already been discharged and was recovering at home.When she arrived at the Valor Residence, she learned that Jackson had left for work while the triplets were at kindergarten, but Serenity and her newborn daughter were home.Serenity was currently lying in bed, while the baby was in a crib, being cared for by a nanny.As soon as Serenity saw Coco, she greeted her with a smile. "Come, Coco, have a seat!""How are you doing?" Coco asked."I

"Then, when you two get married, make sure to give me a thank you gift," Serenity joked.Coco chuckled. Get married, huh... Would she have that kind of future with Lucas, she wondered.After chatting for over an hour with Serenity, Coco stood up to take her leave.When she descended the stairs, she ran into Jackson who had just got home.Jackson looked up and greeted her. "Coco, it's been a while.""It hasn't been that long," Coco responded. "I came to visit Serenity and the baby.""I see," Jackson suddenly mentioned, "I heard that you and Lucas broke up."Coco tensed up. "Mr. Valor, what are you trying to say?""Nothing. I simply hope that it won't impact Serenity's recovery. Apart from that, it's not of much importance to me," Jackson stated calmly.Coco observed the man in front of her. He had the power to influence the city, yet, for him, the only thing that truly mattered was Serenity.As a woman herself, Coco would be lying if she said she wasn't envious."I agree," Co

“……” 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
