Terry pulled out a crumpled and yellowed piece of paper from his pocket. The words "I'm sorry, I'm leaving." were written on the paper.

Lisa had left this behind back then. He had been carrying it with him all these years.

Terry had had several episodes of anger where he had crumpled the paper into a ball and thrown it in the trash, but after that, he would rummage through the trash can and retrieve it again.

The note Lisa had left behind was like a thorn in his heart. He could not remove the thorn and was even more reluctant to pull it out.

The note was the only thing she had left behind for him. If he lost this, he would have nothing left of her.

'But, it's all right now...' He had finally found her!

"Lisa... Lisa..." Terry murmured her name repeatedly and pressed a kiss on the piece of paper in his hand. He seemed to have missed her dearly.

***

Lisa followed Serenity into Jackson's car and said to the two, "Thank you."

Jackson replied indifferently, "I'll send you home. Whe

    Could someone like Jackson really ever find himself in danger? If that happened, the threat would be beyond Serenity's means. Whether she got on her knees to beg would not matter.She could get on her knees and beg until she broke her legs, but it would not benefit a man like him.The light in his eyes dimmed at her silence. He was silent as he restarted the engine and drove away.At this moment, Serenity found the stinging silence in the car unusually oppressive.***Serenity went to see Lisa the next day. The two met up and got a table in a restaurant near Lisa's house.Seeing Lisa's swollen eyes, Serenity reckoned Lisa had probably not slept well last night."What happened after you got home yesterday?" Serenity asked."Don't even talk about it. My parents were starting to prepare a ransom amount. They almost punished me when they saw me back," Lisa grumbled.Serenity looked puzzled. "What? You didn't tell them about Terry?""Uh... I told them a friend I hadn't seen in a w

    "Can you deal with him? If you can't, just tell me. I..." Serenity started to speak, but Lisa interrupted her before she could finish."Serenity, you were a huge help to me yesterday. Jackson wouldn't have come to get me if not for you. Regardless, I did cause Terry some problems. At the worst, I'll let him take it out on me."Lisa made it sound easy, but Serenity was still a little worried. Would it really be that simple?"Hey, don't worry. I left Terry without saying goodbye, but I didn't do anything bad. It's not a grudge either. It's just... Well, it was a one-night affair. I hope he won't be too harsh on me," Lisa reassured.Lisa did not want Serenity to worry about her. She knew Serenity was already having a hard time just staying by Jackson's side."But if you have any trouble, tell me!" Serenity insisted, "I may not be able to help much, but... I can beg for Jackson's help. He might help."Serenity sounded embarrassed and depressed when she talked about begging Jackson.

    "Get in." Terry ordered.Lisa had a reluctant look upon hearing his order. Although her phone was important, her freedom was worth way more! She did not want to be locked in his room for hours again like yesterday.Fortunately, Jackson and Serenity had come to take her away yesterday. If they had not, she had no idea when she would have been able to leave."No need. I'm thinking of getting a new phone, so I don't need the old one," Lisa rejected him awkwardly."So you don't need the photos and various social accounts on your phone? Right. You have some of your company's confidential information on the phone too." Terry said flatly, "But if you really don't want it, that's fine."'That's just... A threat!' Lisa thought and gritted her teeth. 'But the thing is, my phone has a password! He... Did he unlock my phone? Did he see the photos and information on the phone?!' 'What about... My various social accounts? Did he decrypt them too?!'Lisa huffed in anger upon realizing what wa

    Lisa blinked her eyes. What? Was he not planning to return her phone?"You want me to pay you?" Lisa felt silly as soon as the words left her mouth. With Terry's status, would he even care about her money?Sure enough, Terry was looking at Lisa with a slight smile as if she was an idiot.Lisa took a deep breath. "So, what do you want?" Lisa knew that this would not be easy and reckoned that Terry was trying to use her phone to vent about what she had done three years ago. Resigned to her fate, she decided to let him vent his anger."Have you been dating over the past three years?" Terry asked.Lisa shook her head, puzzled by his question."Have you ever liked anyone?" he asked again.'Oh...' Lisa had lost count of how many idols and celebrities she liked. Seeing Terry's expressionless face, Lisa almost intuitively shook her head again."Speaking of which, didn't you say you'd be glad to have a boyfriend like me?" Terry mentioned seemingly nonchalantly.Lisa almost choked on he

    Lisa's red face turned white, and her lips trembled slightly. Finally, she uttered, "Sorry."After all, Lisa was the one who had given Terry all those empty promises."You should feel very sorry for me," Terry said.There was then a brooding silence in the car. After some time, they arrived at their destination. Lisa followed Terry out of the car only to find herself at the same villa yesterday.Lisa stopped dead in her tracks when she remembered how Terry had detained her last night. "What's wrong? Are you afraid to go in?" Terry turned to Lisa.Lisa's lips twitched slightly. She managed a smile. "If you have something to say, let's say it outside."Terry said with a half-smile, "Lisa, if I wanted to, I have many ways to detain you. I swear it would not be easy for Jackson to take you away this time."Lisa was stunned. After a short hesitation, she ground her teeth and mustered her courage. Did he think she was afraid of him? Even if Terry wanted to harm her, Lisa had no powe

    "It's... delicious." Lisa's words almost got caught in her throat, and her mouth was filled with the taste of the cocktail.The glass of cocktail was meant to be savored slowly, but she had finished it in one go."Tell me, Terry. What do you want for me? How do you plan to vent your anger?"Lisa became bolder and spoke louder, perhaps under the influence of alcohol.Terry's gaze darkened. "You'll pay me back for what you owed me back then."She cocked her head, her round eyes wide open at him. She seemed lost in her thoughts. "I just have to pay you back for what I owe you, then?""Yes," Terry said.Lisa got to her feet and shook her head. It seemed like the alcohol was getting to her. Her head felt a little dizzy all of a sudden.Sure enough, the cocktail was still as strong as ever. Lisa became bolder because of the alcohol and could do things she would not normally do.Lisa pulled the zipper of her jacket down and started to take off her coat.Terry narrowed his eyes. Seei

    Terry had revealed to Lisa that he was an illegitimate child. Hearing that, Lisa had smiled heartily."So what? You are you. You're unique in this world. A man's achievement isn't determined by his birth but by hard work.""Don't you find my birth disgraceful?"How had Lisa answered him at that time? Lisa had given him a serious answer. "I think your parents are very irresponsible toward marriage. They should have gotten married after having children. If they didn't plan to get married, they should have kept their distance from each other or taken precautions from the beginning. Isn't there a saying that a relationship without a plan to get married is just dishonorable?" It was Terry's first time hearing someone's comment about his parents.However, did she know? There were other reasons behind his parent's relationship without a plan for marriage. How much personal interest was involved in their decision? For his father, marriage was just a matter of choosing the right woman a

    Terry looked at Lisa's sleeping face and took her hand in his.He had found her! She no longer existed only in his memory. She had actually appeared in front of him again!"You promised today. I won't allow you to go back on your word." Terry's whisper rang in the quiet room, the sound of her rhythmic breathing the only response to him.***Serenity returned to Valor Residenc after the interview. The interview was actually quite simple for her. The interview only looked at her health report and asked her some basic questions.Even though she was prepared for this, she was still nervous when the interviewer then asked why a law graduate like her wanted to be a delivery driver. She tried her best to explain in simple words and shared how her lawyer license had gotten revoked because she had been in jail for a traffic accident.The interviewer had not asked any further questions after that. He told her to go back and wait for the notice. At that instance, Serenity knew that she migh

    “……” 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
