My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 3029
The loneliness was overwhelming for Coco back then.“What are you looking at?” Lucas broke the silence.Coco turned to Lucas and said, “Look. A child is squatting there across the street. I've been watching for a while, and it seems like his parents aren’t around. Maybe he doesn't want to go home after school?”She had noticed that the child seemed to have a school bag beside him.Hearing this, Lucas looked across the street. After a moment, he frowned slightly.“It’s Hayden,” Lucas said.“You know him?” Coco was surprised.“I’ve only seen him once. He’s Summer and Harry’s son,” Lucas said, still puzzled. Normally, the Scott family wouldn't leave a child unattended like this. Moreover, he didn't see any bodyguards or nannies around the boy.Coco was stunned. She had just heard Summer’s story on the plane, and she had been watching Summer’s child the whole time she was here. Lucas stood up, saying, “I’ll go bring the child over before something happens.”“Mhm,” Coco replied.Lucas got

“Exactly! My child secretly used my phone to buy in-game credits, and when I found out, he kept denying it! He could lie without batting an eye.”As the onlookers chimed in one after another, a glint of satisfaction flashed in the middle-aged woman's eyes. She reached out to grab Hayden.Lucas stepped forward and blocked her. “You're not taking him anywhere as long as I’m here!”“Everyone, look! I’m trying to take my own child home, and this man won’t let me! Where’s the law in this?! What's your intention of stopping me?” The middle-aged woman clearly wanted the crowd to side with her.Some kind onlookers seemed inclined to help, and a few even began to berate Lucas.At this moment, Coco stepped forward and addressed the woman, “I should be the one asking that! You claim to be the child’s mother, but you’re dressed quite plainly. Your clothes probably cost only a couple of hundred, at most. However, this child is wearing branded clothing.”The crowd, listening to Coco, began to notice

Lucas stepped forward swiftly and grabbed the woman. "You’ll regret it if you lay a finger on her.” Lucas's tone was cold and laced with menace.The middle-aged woman trembled in fear as she wondered who Lucas was. Coco immediately went to comfort Hayden. "It's alright, you’re fine now. I'll call the police, and they'll handle the bad guys," she said as she dialed 911.Seeing Coco calling the police, the woman struggled more desperately. "Let me go! Let me go!" She shouted.However, Lucas held her firmly, refusing to let go.Since the truth was out, the bystanders began to scold the middle-aged woman. Those who had initially wanted to help her now wished they could give her a good beating."How dare she impersonate the child's mother?! She must be trying to kidnap him!""How can someone be so vicious? Your actions are unforgivable!""The kid’s family would have been devastated if she had managed to take the child!""Human traffickers deserve the harshest punishment!"Soon, the police

Lucas could see that if they had a child in the future, Coco would surely share stuff that children find interesting with their child, and she would undoubtedly be a wonderful mother.About twenty minutes later, someone from the Scott family arrived. Harry was clearly surprised to see Lucas among the people with his son. Lucas had helped Summer back then. Without him, Summer might not have been rescued from the Hope family so quickly. And now, Lucas had saved his son again.Harry approached Lucas and said, "You stopped the kidnappers from taking my son, didn't you? Thanks!"From the police call, Harry had learned about what happened to Hayden.Lucas looked at Harry. The man before him looked more haggard and thin than the last time they had met. Despite Harry being dressed in a suit with neatly combed hair, there was a dead look in his eyes. He looked as if he had lost faith in life."No problem, but if you had actually lost Hayden, Summer would probably hate you even more," Lucas sai

Thinking about this, Harry felt a pang in his chest.Coco looked at him and simply greeted him. After all, she didn’t have a good impression of Harry. Summer's suffering was largely because of him. If Harry had trusted Summer back then, she wouldn’t have endured so many years of hardship.Harry replied, "Hello. Thank you for protecting Hayden today. Feel free to ask for help if you guys ever need the Scott family’s help in the future, and I will certainly assist you."This was his promise to them.After saying this, Harry turned to his son, "Hayden, let's go. It's time to go home. Your grandparents are very worried about you."Hayden reluctantly moved away from Coco. As he left, he glanced back at Coco several times.Coco felt a pang of heartache. She could sense that Hayden was just longing for love.Back in the hotel room, Coco said, "It seems like Hayden wants to visit his mother. On one hand, he hopes his mother loves him, but on the other, he doesn’t believe she does.""Do you fee

"Six languages?!" Coco gasped. If Lucas only had a basic understanding of a few others and was truly fluent in these six languages, he could be considered a language genius.In comparison, she felt like an underachiever. She could only handle basic daily conversations even though the only foreign language she studied was French. "Do you think my grades would have improved drastically if I'd known you during school days? Maybe I could have picked up a few more languages," Coco mused."Why? Isn’t it better that you don’t even have to study hard now since I can be your translator?” Lucas replied.She thought about it and realized he was right.During the event, Coco met many of the cartoonists she admired. She made sure to get their autographs and take photos with them. They were all happy for Coco when they found out that she and Lucas were a couple.The event was enjoyable for Coco. She befriended many of the cartoonists and got to discuss various drawing techniques. They even exchang

"It's Saturday, and I don't have school today," Hayden said, his eyes shimmering with hope.Coco found it hard to refuse his puppy eyes."Hayden, come here!" Harry called, but Hayden acted as if he didn't hear him and kept holding Coco's hand.Coco glanced between the child and Lucas. "Lucas, what do you think?""I'm fine with anything," Lucas replied, giving Coco the final say.Coco thought for a moment and then said to Harry, "Mr. Scott, if you're okay with it, why don't you let Hayden spend the day with us? We'll bring him back to your place later."Harry responded, "Are you sure? Hayden might disturb you.""I actually quite like Hayden," Coco said. She just didn’t like Harry. Harry looked at his son, who was firmly holding onto Coco's hand, and sighed. "Alright, but you don't need to send him back to my place. I'll come to pick him up later.""That works," Coco agreed.After Harry left, the three of them began their outing. For convenience, Lucas had asked the Gomez Group's branch

The exposed truth must have hit Harry hard."I don't want a new mom," Hayden said. "I don't want to stay at home or go to school. It feels like everyone is overly careful around me, whispering behind my back. They think I don't know what they're talking about, but I do!"Coco could relate. When her parents had just passed away, her relatives, the teachers, and students at school treated her with the same cautiousness while still gossiping behind her back. She knew exactly what they were saying and discussing. At that time, she felt out of place with everyone around her."Hayden, we can't stop others from gossiping, but we can make ourselves stronger," Coco said. "We can openly express our thoughts. We shouldn’t avoid interacting with people because of our fear or annoyance. Otherwise, you'll only become a hermit."Hayden listened, though it was unclear how much he had understood.Coco didn't expect the child to fully understand her words right away. He needed more guidance from the peo

“……” 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
