Chapter 3077

Author: Anastasia Marie
Lucas was shocked at the sight of Coco’s right calf. He knew all too well what her leg used to look like.

"Pretty ugly, isn't it?" Coco said awkwardly. "Actually... there's really nothing much to see. Sometimes, I don't even want to look at it."

Upon hearing that, Lucas was stunned. Coco’s deformed leg and the hideous scar on it told him all about the pain she had endured. It was something that she wouldn’t have had to suffer if it wasn’t because of him.

“Alright, stop looking,” Coco said and tried to cover her calf again.

However, Lucas stopped her and bent down to kiss her deformed calf and the scar on it.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for all the pain you've been through," he croaked.

Coco stared blankly at the man before her.

Lucas was kissing her calf with closed eyes, and each kiss burnt her skin. Her heart was pounding so hard that it felt as though it was leaping out of her throat.

She tried hard to calm herself. His actions would only make her more reluctant to let go o

    "Lucas! I don't want to go to the hospital," Coco quickly said. "There isn’t a need for that!”"Coco, please, let me take you to the hospital and have the doctor examine you again, okay?" Lucas's voice was almost pleading. "I don't know who your previous doctor was, and I will ask another doctor to examine you. I will try my best to fix your leg!” Coco couldn’t refuse him at all. Then, Lucas carried Coco out of Minnie's apartment and quickly got into his car which was waiting downstairs.He placed her in the car and instructed the driver to head to the hospital. On the way, he called his subordinates to arrange for a specialist to examine Coco as soon as they arrived.Coco nervously clutched her skirt, and Lucas placed his hand over hers. "Don't worry. I'm here with you."She looked up and met his eyes, which were now filled with concern for her.“Don’t worry, Coco. I will handle every single problem you have. You just need to stay by my side, and I'll do everything in my po

    However, once they were in the car, the driver drove them to Lucas’s villa. “I can just stay at Minnie’s place!” Coco said hastily. She wasn’t totally ready to face him yet. She figured that Minnie had let something slip, which had led to this sudden encounter. “Since you’re back, why would you still want to stay at Minnie’s place?” Lucas asked.“Let me stay at my apartment, then. It’s more convenient and comfortable for me.” “What’s wrong with my place?” “Your bedroom is on the second floor. You’ve seen my leg now, and you know it’s hard for me to use the stairs.” Coco finally found a reason. “I’ll arrange a room for you on the first floor. It’ll be easier for you to move around,” Lucas suggested. “No, thank you. I’m not used to it,” she refused while keeping her head low. Lucas noticed her resistance, and he asked after a pause, “Coco, do you... not want to see me at all?”Coco was stunned. “No...”“Is that so? Then why did you let Minnie know that you’re back but

    Coco hugged the cushion and gently touched the comic book. “You must be hungry. I’ll ask them to prepare dinner and set up a bedroom for you. All your stuff is still here. I’ll have them moved to the new room,” Lucas said and immediately instructed the servants.Coco noticed Lucas was being cautious around her, and it burdened her. She didn’t want him to act this way as it only made her more aware of her change. Just then, Lucas’s phone rang, and he quickly answered Minnie’s call. “Are you with Coco right now?” Minnie asked anxiously. “Yeah.”“Let me have a word with Coco.” Lucas glanced at Coco and handed the phone to her. “It’s Minnie. She probably couldn’t reach you, so she called me.”Only then did Coco remember that her phone was still at Minnie’s place.Minnie’s urgent voice came through the phone. “Coco, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to reveal that you’re back, but... if I hadn’t, a murder case would have happened in town.” Then, she quickly summarized the events at

    “Coco, please don’t avoid me, okay? If you hate me or blame me for not protecting you, you can always hit me, curse me, or do whatever you want to me. But please, don’t avoid me. Don’t look away from me,” Lucas pleaded. His usual cold and indifferent tone was replaced by sincerity.Coco looked into his eyes. After a brief pause, she said, “Lucas, I’ve never hated you or blamed you for what happened. I decided to put Eden into the cradle, no one forced me! And the last words I said to you before I was swept away were truly from the bottom of my heart. So, you don’t need to feel guilty at all.”Lucas looked hurt. Those final words she had said to him had echoed in his mind countless times over the past year, each time adding to his agony.“Coco, you once said that I would eventually find someone else to love. But did you ever think that maybe I had already found her?” Lucas said while gently caressing her cheek. “I had already found her, but I was too blind to see it and kept denyin

    Coco stared blankly at the man in front of her, then looked down at their intertwined hands. She felt a pang of bitterness. “I know, and I’m truly grateful that you’re willing to tell me your feelings. It means a lot, and I feel satisfied. But Lucas...” She paused, trying to maintain a normal expression. “You don’t need to say that you’ll never love anyone else but me. In the future, you’ll meet a wonderful woman, and I’ll be happy for you too.”Lucas was taken aback. “Do you think that I didn’t mean what I said?” He croaked.“I... I want to believe you’re being genuine. So... please don’t make me say things I don’t want to, okay?” Coco murmured.Hearing this, Lucas's heart sank. He realized that Coco felt that he wasn’t being sincere at all. “Are you thinking that I’m saying those things out of guilt and self-reproach?” He asked.Coco didn’t respond, but he knew the answer from her expression.Lucas took a deep breath and gripped her shoulders firmly. “Coco, listen to me. I

    “O-only one of my legs is crippled, so I can still walk. I can walk on my own!” Coco insisted. She didn’t want to rely on Lucas anymore. Now, she needed to be independent and strong more than ever.“I know. I just want to make things easier for you,” Lucas explained.“But it can’t last forever. No one can carry another person all the time. Everyone must learn to be independent, especially... someone like me,” Coco replied.“Why not?” He retorted. “I can carry you forever, Coco. If you don’t want to be independent, you don’t have to be. I’ll support you!” Lucas said anxiously.However, Coco constantly created more and more distance between them. “But Lucas, I want to be independent. I don’t want to rely on you anymore!”At that moment, Lucas felt that a big gap had formed between them.-Lucas stood outside the bathroom with his mind in turmoil. Coco was taking a shower, and he could hear the water running in the bathroom. He had always thought that he would be incredibly hap

    Coco’s anxious expression made Lucas heartbroken. She was clearly afraid of him and wanted to avoid him. Lucas wasn’t sure what she was afraid of and the reason for avoiding him. He had been tirelessly trying to find her in cities outside Solaria these days. He never expected her to be in Solaria, hiding from him. He thought she must have gone to see Minnie as soon as she returned, but she had been back in Solaria for much longer than he had thought. Suddenly, his desperate search, his inner torment, and even his love felt like a joke.“Coco, you didn’t have to stay away from home if you really didn’t want to see me. You could have just told me!” Lucas laughed bitterly. “During the time you were missing, I told myself that if I ever found you, I would fulfill all of your wishes no matter what. So... you only need to tell me what you want and I’ll do it!” Coco felt a pang in her chest when she heard him laugh. Despite that, she didn’t know what to say to comfort him. “The serva

    The servants privately gossiped about how deeply Lucas cared for Coco. He wouldn’t allow anyone to touch her belongings in the villa, insisting on cleaning and organizing everything himself, preserving the space as it was when she left. Once, a servant had secretly tried to sell a few pieces of her clothes, and Lucas had almost beaten them to death. Another servant claimed to have seen Lucas clutching Coco’s clothes and crying late at night. Coco had become a mystery among the servants. Many said she was incredibly lucky to be loved by a man like Lucas. Out of curiosity, the new maid wondered what kind of woman Coco was. Upon seeing her, she felt a bit disappointed. Coco’s appearance was ordinary, and she had to use a crutch to walk since her leg was crippled. The maid couldn’t fathom what Lucas saw in her.“I see,” Coco said with a hint of self-mockery in her eyes. Lucas was really angry this time. He had even left early to avoid her. Minnie came to Lucas’s villa after

    “……” 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
