Naomi shut her mouth reluctantly.

This incident was only the beginning.

Before dinner, Jared and Carmen formally introduced Coco to their relatives, clearly treating her as their future daughter-in-law.

This made them understand that Coco’s position in the Gomez family was not to be challenged. She wouldn't be mistreated because of her disability or background.

As a result, the relatives quickly warmed up to Coco. Some even gave her expensive gifts, which made Coco feel a bit awkward.

“It’s the thought that counts. You should accept them,” Lucas said.

Only then did Coco accept the gifts.

Naomi felt even more irritated when she saw Coco accepting the gifts. She couldn’t understand how a cripple could be Lucas’s wife.

After dinner, Naomi deliberately approached Coco and said with a smile, "Coco, I read online that you went missing because you saved Serenity's child. You have such a big heart. Not everyone could do that."

"It's not a big deal," Coco replied, sensing the hosti

    "Coco, that's not fair. I'm just praising you for saving a child's life and changing your destiny. Why are you acting like I've said something wrong? Do you know how deeply Lucas loves Serenity? If you hadn't saved Serenity's child, how could Lucas...""How could he what?" A cold voice suddenly interrupted, startling Naomi, who turned to see Lucas standing nearby.Coco looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lucas’s cold expression. She knew that he was angry and upset. Coco hurried over to Lucas, trying to prevent him from starting a fight at the family gathering. "Don't worry, I didn't take her words to heart," she said softly.But Lucas tightly held Coco's hand and told Naomi, "Get out!"His words shocked everyone. Naomi stared at Lucas in disbelief. “What?”"I said get out. And don't ever set foot here again!" Lucas coldly ordered.Naomi's face turned bright red in embarrassment. Esther quickly came over. "What's going on? What happened?""Mom, I was just chatting w

    Hearing this, Jared and Carmen glanced at Lucas’s serious expression and then at Esther and Naomi. They immediately understood what might have happened. Before Lucas’s arrival, they had heard Naomi talking about Coco disdainfully. They thought she was just commenting about Coco in front of the family and wouldn’t be bold enough to do anything in front of Coco. But now, it seemed they had been too optimistic.“What are you waiting for? Get lost!” Lucas ordered coldly as he looked at Naomi. Naomi turned pale, and she looked at Jared and Carmen for help. "Uncle Jared, Aunt Carmen, I was only making small talk with Coco. I just mentioned that she had saved Serenity's child and done a good job. I didn't say much else. I don't understand why Lucas is so angry."Naomi continued to argue even at this point.However, as soon as she mentioned Serenity's name, Jared and Carmen's expressions changed. Jared and Carmen, who had seen all sorts of people, could roughly guess what Naomi

    Coco was about to go with Carmen, but Lucas stopped her by grabbing her hand. Before Coco could say anything, Carmen spoke up, "What? Are you afraid I'll eat Coco? I just want to chat with my future daughter-in-law. I promise I'll return her to you in good shape.""Mom," Lucas frowned slightly, worried his mother might say something unpleasant to Coco."Don't worry. I cherish Coco more than you do," Carmen reassured him. "Now, let go unless you want me and Coco to stand here with you all day?"Lucas released Coco reluctantly.Coco followed Carmen to the backyard where Carmen looked at her with a gentle expression. "I'm sorry if their words upset you earlier.""It's fine," Coco quickly replied."Coco, Lucas chose you, and so did the Gomez family. If you ever feel wronged, you can talk to us," Carmen paused and continued, "Lucas loves you very much. At first, I didn't realize how deeply he cared, but during the year you were missing, I saw how much he loved you. I believe he migh

    Coco looked at him puzzledly. "What did my mother talk to you about?" Lucas asked."She told me to stay with you no matter what happens," Coco answered honestly."Really?" "Of course. Did you think she would say something bad to me? If she had, she wouldn't have defended me in front of your relatives today. Lucas, I really like your parents."Lucas felt a bit relieved. "And what about me?""I love you," Coco replied."Tell me honestly, are you mad at me today?" Lucas asked suddenly.Coco was surprised upon hearing that. "Why would I be mad at you?""Because... Serenity," he hesitated before finally saying the name.Lucas had loved Serenity back then, and the thought of her possibly coming between him and Coco scared him. He feared Coco might misunderstand or doubt his love for her.So, when Naomi mentioned Coco saving Serenity's child, he felt anxious. He could almost predict the kind of trouble Naomi would stir up. It had been hard enough for Coco to believe that he loved

    "Do you really believe me?" Lucas looked at Coco intently.She raised an eyebrow slightly. "What do I need to do to prove that I genuinely believe you?"“Love me a little more each day, love me until you can't leave me and want to be with me all the time."Lucas kissed Coco passionately once he finished saying that. Coco melted in his arms. "Alright. I'll love you a little more every day," she promised. ‘Until death do us part,’ she said in her heart. -Coco gradually resumed work. She had thought that her studio would have been cleared out after being missing for a year, but to her surprise, Lucas had bought the entire floor and kept her studio just as it was. He even had someone clean it regularly. When Coco arrived at the studio, everything was exactly as she had left it, without a speck of dust. It was as if she had never been gone.Coco smiled at Lucas’s effort. He had done so much for her, yet he never mentioned it, always letting her discover these things on her

    When Loke got the call, he had dropped everything and rushed over."I went to your place, but you weren't there," he continued. After the news about Coco had spread online, he learned that she was back in Solaria. However, when he went to her place, the door was closed, and he saw no sign of her. He even spent the whole night outside her door, but she never appeared. He knew that she must be staying with Lucas. After all, she was now Lucas's fiancée.Loke couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. It hurt to think that he had been so close to her once, yet now, she was beyond his reach.If he hadn’t been blinded and had taken Coco’s feelings seriously, maybe things between them wouldn't have ended up like this."It's been a long time. How have you been?" Loke murmured."As you can see, I'm doing well," Coco replied while limping over to Loke. "I'm busy tidying up the studio, so if you don't have any business here, please leave."Loke's gaze was fixed on Coco's leg. "Your le

    "If you truly love someone, you wouldn't bear to see them get hurt. You would feel their pain too,” Coco continued as Lucas’s face flashed through her mind. “If you really loved me, you had plenty of time to search for me after we graduated, but you didn’t.""I... I was—""See? You don’t really love me. You might have had some feelings for me, but it wasn't love. And as for me, I only had a crush on you. It wasn't love either. So, there was never anything to begin with between us, and there were no ‘ifs’ between us."Loke was in a daze as Coco continued, "Even if you hadn’t used me back then, we would have ended up as strangers. That’s all between us."A glimpse of sadness flashed across his eyes as he wondered if what Coco had said was true.Coco’s words were hurtful. All these years, he'd been thinking about her, but now, she was telling him that what he had felt wasn't even love."Then... does he love you?" Loke murmured. Both of them knew who he was referring to."Lucas love

    "No one can predict the future, but I'll do my best to make my life the way I want it to be," Coco replied.Loke clenched his fists tightly. The woman before him was no longer the timid girl who used to endure the bullying in silence. She was shining brightly even with a limp. He suddenly felt that the woman who once secretly admired him had become someone he admired now. However, it was unfortunate that she couldn’t be within reach. Loke knew that he had lost Coco completely, and he would regret this for the rest of his life."Are you still not leaving?" Lucas asked coldly.Loke looked at Lucas, then left without another word. There was no point for him to say anything more.Coco noticed that Lucas still had a cold expression. "What's wrong? Are you angry?" she asked while gently touching his face.He grabbed her hand. "Why did Loke come to see you? What did he say?""Nothing much. He just wanted to see how I was doing," Coco explained. "I didn't expect him to show up at my

    “……” 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
