Chapter 3036

Author: Anastasia Marie
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

    "I did save her, but we’re not that close," Lucas replied."I see," Hayden muttered. Nonetheless, he went up to the stall and bought a charm. Coco couldn't help but sigh inwardly as she watched Hayden pay for it. Then, Hayden handed the charm to Lucas. "Please remember to give this to Mommy's friend," the little boy said earnestly."Sure.”Then, the three of them returned to the city for dinner.As Lucas parked the car in the parking lot, Coco suddenly exclaimed, "Oh!""What's wrong?" Lucas asked."I think I saw Serenity," Coco said.Indeed, Serenity was getting out of her car with three kids in the same parking lot.After Lucas parked the car, Coco got out of the car while holding Hayden's hand. She called out to Serenity, "Serenity!"Serenity looked in the direction of the voice and spotted Coco. She then waved back.A moment later, Lucas and Jackson also got out of their respective cars. Upon seeing each other, they exchanged a silent nod. They hadn’t expected to bump into each ot

    Hayden looked hesitant. He clearly wanted to ask more about Summer but was feeling shy about it.Serenity smiled and said, "I'll tell you about her later, okay?" Instantly, a glint of joy flickered in Hayden’s eyes.Serenity then turned to Coco and Lucas. "Why don't we have dinner together? I can also talk to Hayden about Summer.""Sure," Coco agreed.Lucas and Jackson naturally had no objections, so the group headed to a nearby restaurant.There was a famous kids-friendly restaurant in the mall, which Jacqueline really wanted to visit. Micah and Frederick were okay with anything as long as Jackie liked it. Hayden, too, seemed interested in the restaurant, and no one objected.After entering the restaurant and ordering some dishes, the children started their chatter. Micah was the quiet one, and Jacqueline was the most talkative with Frederick mostly responding to Jacqueline's topics. Hayden occasionally interjected with questions.Jacqueline was confident to get good results in the p

    Fred’s tiny lips tightened.Jacqueline said, "Fred, how could you say that to Hayden? It's great that Hayden wants to learn the piano. You should apologize to him."A hint of sadness flickered in Fred's eyes, but he still said to Hayden, "I'm sorry."However, he didn't genuinely want to apologize. He only said sorry because Jackie told him to."Alright, alright, the food is here. Let's eat, and then we can go play!" Serenity said.The restaurant had a small play area with some fun facilities that were very popular with children. It had received positive reviews online. Jacqueline cheered and started eating immediately, and the other children followed suit. The arguments between them seemed to be over.After finishing their meal, Coco and Serenity went to the play area with the four children. Lucas and Jackson stayed at the table, staring at each other."Looks like things are going well between you and Coco," Jackson remarked."It's alright," Lucas replied."You, Coco and H

    "Serenity!" Jackson answered instantly, "I would save Serenity because she's the most important person to me. However, if Serenity wanted me to save the children, then I would respect her wish and save the children instead. After that, I would follow her to the afterlife."He said it so matter-of-factly.Lucas stared at Jackson. So Jackson would live and die with Serenity?And what about him? With whom could he share such a profound connection? If Coco were to face danger one day, would he make the same decision as Jackson?After some time, the children were finally done playing. Jacqueline mentioned their plan to visit the zoo the next day, so Hayden asked, "Can I join you?"And so, they all reached an agreement to visit the zoo together the following day.Later that evening, when Harry Scott came to pick Hayden up, Coco told him about their plan for tomorrow."Can Hayden join us tomorrow?" Coco asked.Before Harry could respond, Hayden chimed in, "I want to go!"His desire t

    "Because he said he wanted to learn the piano, and when I told him about the piano, he listened attentively," she replied."Then... if he becomes skilled at the piano, you'll like him even more, right?" he asked.Once again, she nodded her head. If Hayden became good at the piano, of course she would like him even more!"What if he becomes better than me? Will you like him more than me?" He couldn't hide the possessiveness and unease in his tone.This emotion was more commonly known as... jealousy!Jacqueline pondered the question seriously, while Fred anxiously waited, fearing her response would be a "yes."The piano was his most potent weapon to win her affection. From the beginning, her fondness for him stemmed from his piano skills. Thus, it seemed logical for her to develop a liking for someone else because of the piano too.But apart from the piano, what else did he have? What other qualities could he use to impress her? His grades? Or perhaps, his current status as th

    After some time, the woman put away the binoculars and turned to face the other woman seated in the room."Aubrey, you ask me to impersonate Serenity and infiltrate the Stanton Residence tomorrow, but what if things go wrong? I'll be in serious trouble, while you can escape unscathed! You assure me that I'll be safe and I’ll receive a substantial sum of money afterwards, but why should I believe you?" Snow Norris asked, glaring at Aubrey Stewart.Aubrey smiled faintly. "Because of how badly you want to see Coco Souza suffer. We both loved Lucas and hate Coco. Given that, my plan is the best plan."As she spoke, she carefully observed Snow's face, which bore a striking resemblance to Serenity's. So did her attire, hairstyle, and makeup. It was very hard to distinguish her from the real person.Aubrey was surprised that Lucas refused to keep Snow by his side, considering how much he loved Serenity. In fact, he wanted to send Snow away from Solaria in order to avoid complications with

    The children insisted on taking a boat ride, so after the meal, they all boarded a small boat.As they sailed along the river, Jacqueline suddenly exclaimed and pointed to a distance, asking, "What's that?" The boat owner explained with a smile, "That's a reservoir. It releases water before the rainy season, but outside of that, it's usually inactive. Some local children swim there during the summer as the water there is cooler.""But isn't it dangerous to swim in a reservoir?" Coco inquired."Oh, yes! People have drowned there before," the boat owner admitted. "But that hasn't stopped people from going there. However, I've heard that a rafting project is being planned downstream, along with the construction of the city's largest outdoor swimming pool. It's been underway for nearly six months and should be completed in a few months. The pool will be free for local residents.""That's wonderful," Coco remarked.The children began discussing swimming and whether they knew how to s

    Fortunately, the maid didn't ask any questions. She led Snow to Eden's room as she was instructed. Eden was peacefully laying in a crib under the supervision of a nanny."You may take a break. I'd like to spend time with Eden alone. If I need any help, I'll call for you," Snow told the nanny."Yes, Mrs. Valor," replied the nanny before leaving the room.Now alone with Eden, Snow retrieved a small vial of medicine from her pocket along with a cloth. She meticulously sprinkled the medicine onto the cloth, ensuring an even distribution, and then covered the baby's mouth and nose with it.The baby appeared uncomfortable. Although her eyes remained shut, her mouth opened, emitting a few whimpering sounds before falling silent.Snow carefully released her grip on the cloth. The cloth had been soaked with a potent anesthetic. This was to ensure that the baby would not make any noise when she was brought out of the mansion.Snow quickly unfolded a concealed backpack and gently placed 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!

    "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
