My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2969
Coco kept her eyes closed. “Let me sleep for a little longer. Give me a morning kiss when you wake me up later. That way, you’ll be the first thing I see when I open my eyes. If we were in a comic, there would definitely be roses and sparkles all around you.”Just then, a burst of laughter was heard, followed by a woman's voice. “I didn’t expect her to be so funny. How come I didn’t notice it last time?”Coco jolted and opened her eyes as she sat up abruptly. She wished that she was still in her dreams when she saw who was in front of her. Jared and Carmen were standing at the foot of the bed looking at her, and Lucas was lying next to her in the bed. Which meant that she and Lucas were caught in bed together by his parents!Coco couldn’t help but groan internally. Ever since the first night she had stayed here, Lucas and she had been sharing one bed. Although they hadn't done anything besides chatting under the covers, she wondered if Lucas's parents would believe her if she said

Carmen had teased Lucas, saying, “You really dote on her, don't you? The sun is already up and you still can’t bear to wake her up. When will you start doting on your mother?”“Dad is there for you,” he replied.Jared and Carmen looked at him in surprise.He knew exactly why they were surprised. In the past, he would have barely responded to them. It seemed that being together with Coco had even made him more talkative.For the first time in his life, he chatted with his parents while lying in bed with his girlfriend for half an hour until her alarm went off.“Hey, what should I say when I meet your parents downstairs?” Coco asked worriedly.“You can say whatever you want, and if you don’t feel like talking, I’ll do the talking,” Lucas said, patting her head. Since it was morning, Coco’s hair was let down, making her look like a doll. “Well, go freshen up first,” Lucas reminded her. The next moment, Coco quickly dashed off the bed and into the bathroom. She knew that she shouldn’t ke

After Coco and Lucas sat down, Carmen said to Coco, “You draw quite well. I admire talented women a lot. You don’t have to worry about your future if you have a set of skills.” “Thanks for the compliment. I have liked drawing since I was young, and I’m lucky that it can be my profession now,” Coco replied.“That's great,” Carmen said, then her tone shifted. “Lucas says you two have started dating again. Is that true?”Coco stiffened, knowing they were getting down to “business”. “Yes, it’s true.”“Is it because he took a knife for you?”“No. It’s because I love him,” Coco said earnestly. She would have felt shy and embarrassed if she had to say this in front of others.“Will you dump him again in the future?” Carmen asked.Lucas’s body tensed slightly, a hint of unease flashing in his eyes as if he feared her answer might be something he didn’t want to hear.Coco replied, “I will only break up with him if I am sure that he doesn’t love me anymore. Otherwise, no.”“Do you plan to marr

After Jared and Carmen left, Lucas hugged Coco from behind. “See? There’s no need to be nervous about meeting my parents. They’re not going to eat you.”“Do they have anything to say about me?” Coco hesitated and asked. “Why would they?” he asked.“I... I don’t have any parents nor a good family background, and my profession is just a small-time cartoonist,” she said, biting her lip slightly.Lucas chuckled softly. “I have been single for years before I met you. Unless my parents never want to have grandchildren, why would they disapprove of you?”To be honest, Carmen was just hoping that Lucas would bring any woman home. At one point, she wanted nothing more than that. “My parents have already accepted you. If they hadn’t, they wouldn’t have invited you to dinner tomorrow,” he added.His words seemed to remind Coco of something, and she quickly said, “What should I wear to meet your parents tomorrow? Should I dress up a bit? It’s a formal dinner, so I need to make a good impression

Coco bit her lip slightly and looked into Becky’s eyes. "I don't think there's anything wrong with using this compact powder. However, you shouldn’t speak so rudely about others, it's barbaric of you to do that.""You!" The woman fumed with anger. "What?! If you don’t want others to degrade you, you shouldn't use cheap products, then. I wonder how you got those clothes on you, probably doing some shady things with your body!"With that, Beckly left the restroom with her friend.Coco quickly kept her compact powder away and chased after them. "Apologize!""What?" Becky and her friend looked at Coco with amusement, as if she was joking."Apologize to me!" Coco demanded.She would have just taken it quietly if someone disrespected her back then, but she wasn’t going to let them off the hook now. Lucas and the Gomez family’s reputation would be on the line too as she wasn't just representing herself now. She wouldn’t tolerate Becky at all. "Are you kidding me? Crazy bitch!" Beckly spat at

“My status? And what exactly is my status?” A dangerous glint flickered in Lucas's dark eyes.The enraged Becky was oblivious to the looming threat, and she continued heedlessly, "Of course, you have a prestigious status. But people might think there's something wrong with your taste what with you being involved with someone like her. Someone like her is only fit to be with the poor—"Before she could finish, her friend urgently tugged at her sleeve.“What are you doing? I wasn’t done talking!” Becky said irritably.“Mr. Gomez, she... she’s just rambling nonsense. Please ignore her!” The friend hastily apologized to Lucas.“Why should I ignore her when she dares to speak about my girlfriend like that?” Lucas said coldly with an oppressive aura. It was only then that Becky began to realize the gravity of the situation, and she finally felt fearful.“I... I was rambling away with my nonsense, Mr. Gomez, please forgive me,” she said with a trembling voice.Lucas replied icily, “You shoul

Coco understood that the other party was more powerful than she was, and there was nothing that she could do about it."So, you're upset about this?" Lucas asked."It's just... I feel a bit powerless," Coco admitted. "Even though I don't want to admit it, it's often the case. That's why people strive to become stronger. The stronger you are, you can protect what you want to protect like dignity, freedom, and so on,” Lucas explained. "It’s always the law of the jungle. You have to keep growing stronger if you don’t want to be seen as a weakling.” Then, he paused and looked at her. "Coco, aren't you also becoming stronger bit by bit?""Me?" She was taken aback. "Am I?""Of course," Lucas affirmed. "You probably wouldn't have chased after someone to demand an apology like today back then.""That... that's because...""You want to say it’s because you're my girlfriend, right? If she insulted you, it meant she was insulting me too, right?" Lucas seemed to see through Coco’s mind.Coco sta

"I do not have to wear them daily," Coco said. Her daily casual look didn't suit this jewelry. Since these pieces were quite valuable, wearing them would make her constantly anxious and worried about damaging them."In that case, I'll find more opportunities for you to wear them," Lucas said teasingly.Coco wrapped her arms around Lucas's neck. "Lucas, I feel so happy right now." But the happiness she was feeling now also frightened her. She feared that their happiness might not last forever. The happier she felt now, the more fearful she was deep down.Lucas bent down and kissed her lips. "I'll make you even happier in the future, Coco... I want to be the source of your happiness!"He wanted to give her the best of everything. Unknowingly, his feelings for Coco had deepened even more.-In a private room at the bar, Caleb looked at his friend. The usually indifferent expression on Lucas seemed softer, and he was smiling faintly."You're in a good mood?" Caleb asked."Yes, I am," Luc

“……” 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
