Chapter 3096

Author: Anastasia Marie
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... for causing you so much pain," he whispered.

A bitter smile formed on Coco's lips. She had been apologized to so many times since her return. In truth, she didn't want to hear apologies.

They only made her feel like everyone was trying to make it up to her out of a sense of guilt and responsibility for her leg injury.

She would rather everyone treated her normally so that she could feel like an ordinary person again.

"Lucas, you don't have to feel indebted to me. You don't owe me anything," Coco said, attempting to pry his arms away from her waist.

But he held her even tighter instead.

"Coco, I understand that you don't want me to compensate you out of guilt. But I want you to know that I would never tell you I love you out of guilt. When I heard about all the things you had to go through during the past year, my heart broke. I want to protect you so badly, but when you suffered, I... I couldn't do anything to help you at all..."

Lucas' voice was hoars

    He maintained his intense gaze, exuding an irresistible charm. "Are you sure you don't want to?" he asked. Coco fought to keep her composure and answered, "I... I'm sure." She refused to let his seductive stare draw her in.People who typically remained cold became even more alluring when they turned seductive. A flicker of disappointment flashed across his eyes, but he quickly smiled and said, "Alright, if you don't want to, then never mind. I won't pressure you into doing something you don't want to."He straightened himself and added, "Get some rest. I'll go wash my face." With that, he headed towards the bathroom.Coco sat up and heaved a sigh of relief as soon as Lucas walked into the bathroom. She had nearly fallen into the same trap as last night. He always had a way of making her lose control. Fortunately, the sky would turn dark soon. Surely he would go home then, right?While Coco was lost in her thoughts, Lucas emerged from the bathroom. Not only was his face damp,

    "Then I'll sleep on the couch in the living room," he said. "I'm staying with you no matter what. How else can I trust that you won't run away from taking responsibility?""…..." A sense of helplessness washed over her. Why did she feel like he's going to stick to her like glue no matter what she said? Given his personality, he shouldn't be acting like this at all!In the end, he did stay in her apartment. He even took out spare sheets and made a temporary bed on the living room couch. He also fetched spare pillows and blankets as if he was familiar with the place.Sensing her confusion, he said, "While you were gone, I spent a lot of time here, looking at everything that you own. So, I know where everything is.""…..." She hoped he hadn't gone through her underwear. But in the end, she never asked him if he did!That night, Coco struggled to fall asleep. She kept tossing and turning in bed. If Lucas really were to stay with her, they would be no different from the way the

    Because, in that case, it meant that he had truly fallen in love with her, right? Now, even if he continued to express his love for her and told her it was not driven by pity, sympathy, or guilt, could she really believe him? Perhaps he himself didn't know for sure.Coco bent down and adjusted the blanket for Lucas before turning around and slowly making her way back to her own bedroom. She failed to notice that behind her, a pair of captivating eyes had quietly opened, following her on her way back to the room...In the days that followed, many people came to visit Coco, including Clara and her family, Lisa and Terry, as well as Coco’s two assistants and some co-workers from the magazine company where she used to work at.They all marveled at how lucky she was to survive such treacherous waters."You're so lucky," Clara exclaimed."Yes, I was incredibly lucky. I feel like I've used up all my luck," Coco replied."Don't say that. You'll have a lot more luck waiting for you i

    "I..." Coco hesitated."Don't rush to conclusions and make hasty decisions. Relationships involve two people, so decisions should be made together. If you make a decision by yourself and it turns out to be wrong, you might end up regretting it, like I do," Clara said with a serious tone. She didn't want Coco to make the same mistake she did.Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Wilson asked Lucas, "Coco's back, so why do you seem unhappy?"Lucas asked self-deprecatingly, "Have you ever loved someone who doesn't believe that you love her?""I have," Wilson admitted.Lucas looked at Wilson with a hint of surprise. "You mean Clara?""Who else can it be?" Wilson said. "So, Coco doesn't believe that you love her too?"The two men exchanged meaningful looks."Do you remember what you once told me?" Wilson suddenly asked. "You said that even if a relationship was painful, you wouldn't choose to forget it; you would rather remember it forever. Do you still think that way? If Coco continues to do

    Clara pursed her lips. A short pause later, she said, "Even if you don't have the photos, it's fine.""But it's not just that. I don't remember the feelings I once had for you."Memories became fuzzy as time passed. Wilson could barely recall the small details in the past, but the stronger memories stuck with him.Emotions could affect a person's memories. Strong emotions triggered the formation of strong memories while the rest would fade. Maybe the human brain decided that those things were unimportant and could be forgotten.What about him? Would he gradually forget more than just his love for her? Would he also forget all his memories with her? If so, would anything be left from his past?"You have them. It's just buried deep within. Even so, those feelings are there. Maybe you'll get them back someday when you want it," Clara said."What if I'm willing to recover them now?" Wilson asked.Clara froze and stared at Wilson blankly, a little confused by his words.Putting away

    Lucas had been staying with Coco in his apartment lately. Coco had no idea how many times she had told him to go home, but Lucas insisted on staying.When Lucas' parents found out that Coco was back, they came to see her and brought her a lot of supplements. Coco had a crippled leg, but Jared and Carmen Gomez said nothing. Instead, they told Lucas to stay with Coco and care for her. Lucas agreed readily while Coco stood there, helpless.Coco spoke to Lucas after his parents left. "Lucas, I plan to buy a two-bedroom apartment and bring Leia to live with me. I'm going to rent out this place, so you can't stay with me.""Are you moving to a bigger house? I'll get a place for you. I have no objection to you staying with Leia either. She saved your life, and I'm grateful to her," Lucas said.After giving it some thought, Coco explained, "I can afford to buy a two-bedroom apartment. You can't stay with me, though, especially when Leia comes over. Uh… She'll be uncomfortable.""We just

    Lucas raised a brow. "And then?" Minnie began to share her wisdom. "You'll have to take advantage of your remaining time alone with Coco and capture her heart quickly!""You think it's that easy?" Lucas grunted.Minnie used to think that Lucas was a naturally distant person. He always intimidated her, especially his reputation as the uber-famous Prince Lucas of showbiz. After getting to know him, her impression of Lucas had changed over the past year. She was no longer as timid around him.Minnie occasionally felt sorry for Lucas. So what if he was the almighty Prince Lucas? He was still human, just like anyone else. There were times he felt like he could not do anything and was left feeling helpless especially when it came to Coco."It might be hard for anyone else to do it, but I think you'll be fine," Minnie said, sizing him up."You have a plan?" Lucas humbly asked for advice, which was rare. It was all for Coco's sake."You should use your good looks to your advantage!" Mi

    Lucas spoke to Coco, trying to convince her. "I know you don't want to move to my place, Coco. How about I get a two-bedroom house ready for you? You can just move in without the need to buy a house.""I can get a place myself. I don't need to live in your house," Coco refused.Coco's rejection made his face and mood darken. It felt like she was desperately trying to distance herself from him. "Why do you have to draw such a clear line between us? I can give you all I own. You can have anything!" He would give her anything, including himself!Coco chewed on her lip, then sighed. "I know you mean well, Lucas. But buying a house is a big thing. I can buy it myself. I don't want to take advantage of you.""Do you want to get rid of me so badly?" Lucas growled, frustrated."I just want to be independent," Coco replied.Noticing the tension in the air, Minnie tried to ease the situation. "Okay, okay. Let's order lunch first! The restaurant has become popular lately, serving plenty

    “……” 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
