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

    "L-Lucas..." Coco gasped. "Stop… If someone comes in, they might... they might see..."Coco’s voice seemed to bring Lucas back to reality. He suddenly stopped and held her close while burying his face in the crook of her neck. "Sorry..." he murmured.He had almost lost control because of his jealousy toward Loke. Even though he knew Coco loved him now, Loke's appearance and Coco's admitting crushing on him back then stirred up a storm of jealousy within him."What are you apologizing for?" Coco was puzzled.Lucas said nothing and continued to hold her tightly. She didn't struggle and let him hold her.After a while, Lucas whispered, "Do you still have any feelings for…" The rest of his words caught in his throat. He was afraid of her answer. What would he do if she said yes? How would this jealousy manifest, then?Sensing his tension, Coco hugged him back and said, "No. I don’t feel anything for Loke anymore. In fact, my crush on him back then was nothing. Now that I think ab

    Sometimes, fate works in mysterious ways. Because of a certain event, the lives of two individuals were intertwined.“I should also thank you for saying yes. If you hadn't, I might still be stuck in a mess," Lucas looked at Coco lovingly. "Coco, you're the most precious person to me. In the days to come, I'll treat you well. So... never worry that your leg will change my feelings for you, okay?"Coco sighed inwardly. Was he still bothered by what Loke had said?"Sure!" she answered seriously. "Lucas, when I decided to be with you and marry you, I had already considered everything. My leg might bring some troubles in the future, but it won't be an obstacle between us because I trust that your love for me is incomparable.” "Yes, incomparable.”Lucas gently sat her down on the couch and rolled up Coco’s pants to check her deformed leg. It was a result of her sacrifice for him. Back then, she had risked her life not just to save that child, but for him.He understood that. He unde

    Leia hugged Coco and gently patted her back. "Alright, don't cry, my child. I’m right here.""Yeah. From now on, you'll live in Solaria, and I'll take good care of you. If you want to go back and visit the village, I'll go with you," Coco said."Sure." Leia smiled. Years of hard work had left Leia, now in her sixties, with white hair, making her look much older than she actually was.Lucas drove Leia to Coco’s apartment.On the way, Leia marveled at the bustling sights of Solaria, feeling a mix of awe and apprehension. Having spent her entire life in the village, she wondered if she could adapt to living in the city.When they arrived at the apartment, Leia's eyes widened. "Am I… going to stay here?""Leia, you can stay here, or you can stay with me at Lucas's villa. Lucas said you can choose whichever place you're more comfortable with," Coco said."There's... a villa too?" Leia stammered in surprise."Yeah.”Lucas then addressed Leia, "Since you’re Coco's godmother, you're

    Lucas smiled. "Don't worry about the money. We mentioned it just now. We brought you here to have a comfortable life."Leia nodded at that.After dinner, Coco told Lucas that she would stay with Leia tonight."Leia is new to Solaria and isn't familiar with you yet. If you stay here tonight, she might feel uncomfortable. You should go back to the villa, and I'll stay with Leia," Coco said.Lucas understood but still looked disappointed. After all, this meant spending the night alone at the villa."Should I come by in the morning to take you to the studio?" Lucas offered."No need. I'm not going to the studio tomorrow. I'll spend a few days showing Leia around Solaria and getting her settled," Coco replied."Then, I'll arrange a driver for you guys, and I'll join you if I can find some time," Lucas said."Sure," Coco agreed.That night, Coco shared a bed with Leia just like back then in Leia’s house. Lying together again brought back memories of those tough times. Coco had bee

    “……” 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
