My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 318
"Fine," Lisa sighed, sounding as if she was resigned to her fate. If this was how he was going to get revenge, then at the very least, she was mentally prepared for it, so it would not be too bad in the end. "Can you, um... give me back my phone now?"She had not forgotten that the main reason why she had followed him to the mansion was to get her phone back.He scrutinized her for a few moments before picking up the phone on the nightstand and tossing it to her."Ah!" She yelped as she narrowly caught her phone in her hands. This phone had cost her a fortune and she had to save up for ages before she could afford it! If it really fell and broke the screen, she'd have to spend hundreds of dollars to fix it! It hurt her even thinking about it!Besides, if it did break, she would never dare to ask him to pay for the damages, anyway!Lisa then turned on her phone and noticed that it was already 9 pm. There were also several missed calls from her parents, so she called them right aw

Lisa was well-aware that she had a weakness for handsome men. She'd fall in love with this idol one day and a different one the next day, her adoration as fickle as the weather, but when it was all said and done, her love for each and every one of her favorite idols had always been serious and sincere!Each time when she was in love with a certain idol, she would be his most loyal and die-hard fan. She would never hesitate to spend money to go to his concerts, get his autograph, and do everything a fan would do. If the particular idol held a fan meeting, she was sure to attend.But all this happened before Serenity got into trouble, of course. She did not chase after celebrities as much as she did anymore because most of her time was spent finding a way to help her friend overturn the court's conviction.Because of this, all the recordings of her going to concerts, autograph sessions, and fan meetings were precious memorabilia of her idyllic youth. Yet now, all these beautiful memor

Lisa had not recovered from the shock yet when she got home. Was she really dating Terry White now? She had been wondering about the ways that this man might try to get revenge, but she never thought that this would be his way of doing it!She was not that experienced in dating, but either way, she decided that all she had to do was follow Terry's lead. If that was not good enough, she would just consult her TV dramas for guidance.The only problem was that he... wanted her to fall in love with him.Would he dump her as soon as she fell in love with him, then? Lisa shook her head helplessly. In any case, she would just date him for a few months and then pretend that she had fallen in love with him. When he dumped her, she would act as if she was completely heartbroken, and then the whole affair would be over.She sighed heavily as she thought of this. Never would she ever think that her first experience in dating someone would be this way. But then when she remembered how she feare

Serenity once again walked out of a job interview in failure. She smiled wryly.She had thought that she was mentally prepared for this. She was even willing to take a delivery job that did not even come with a basic salary, but even there, her application was rejected.Serenity glanced at the time. It was almost noon now, so she stopped by a small restaurant where she ordered a bowl of noodles that cost barely more than a dollar—the cheapest item in the restaurant.There was an old television in the restaurant with the news on it. It was a rerun of yesterday's news, so Serenity did not pay much attention to it at first, but when she heard a familiar company's name, her head instantly shot up.That... was the company where she had gotten an interview for a delivery job previously. It was the same company whose boss had called Jackson to tell him about her interview. Jackson had told her off-handedly that he would eliminate this company.And now... the news reported that the comp
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 322
"He wasn't disturbing me at all," said Serenity. "Besides, your son is really cute. I think he wants to try the noodles because he's been staring at the bowl the whole time.""He might not eat it even if you offered it to him," said the woman. "This boy just likes to join in on the fun."As the woman spoke, Serenity noticed that she was making hand gestures in front of the boy. She was taken aback for a moment when she realized that those gestures were... sign language!"Is this boy..." Serenity blurted out."He can't hear," the woman replied. "But he knows a little sign language now, so if I tell him something in sign language, he's able to understand me."Then, the woman slowly said the words "Apologize to Auntie" while simultaneously using sign language to say the same thing.Following that, the boy turned to Serenity and bowed to her, signifying that he was saying sorry to her.Serenity could not help but ruffle the boy's hair affectionately. The boy was so young, yet he cou

"By the way," the woman added, "my name is Clara Wells. You can just call me Clare. What about you? What's your name?""Serenity Lewis," she answered, the dark clouds in her eyes now dissipated. "You can call me Serenity, Clare."Clara's eyes trembled as she looked at Serenity.After giving her name and contact number, Serenity left. A woman over 50 then walked up to Clara's side and asked her, "What were you talking about with that person?""She applied for the rider's job with us just now," Clara replied, "and I've given her the job. She'll start working tomorrow.""That young woman, a rider? Something's fishy here. Women like her would usually apply for office jobs, wouldn't they?"Because of the low salary, only people over the age of 50 ever asked about the job, and even they decided against taking the job because the wages were too low and the working hours were too long."She has a criminal record," Clara explained. "She was in a car crash that led to someone's death. Sti

Serenity's first reaction was the thought that Jackson might attack that small restaurant. If he could destroy an up-and-coming company to the point of bankruptcy, there was certainly no limit to what he could do to that small restaurant."No..." she stammered. "No, I never thought of it that way."She did not want to see the small restaurant suffer because of her. Besides, she could tell that Clare was a decent person, and she even had a disabled son to take care of, so Serenity was sure that Clare must have a lot of burdens to bear."That's good, then," Jackson smiled. "So just keep on living here and don't worry about anything."Serenity pursed her lips and said nothing. Jackson took her hands and placed her palms against his cheeks. "Since you insist on finding your own job," he said, "I'll give in and let you have your way. But remember, no matter how late you get home, you must wish me good night every day, okay?"She was slightly stunned, having never expected that he w

"I'm so sorry," Clara said, "Yanny's never like this usually. He seems to like you very much.""It's okay," Serenity assured her before picking the boy up in her arms. "I like him very much too."The boy did not struggle when Serenity picked him up. Instead, he happily went along with it and even smiled at her when he was in her arms. But that smile was a mixture of timidness and admiration, which made her feel inexplicably sad.She tousled his hair and said to him, "Hello, Yanny!"But the little boy could not hear her, so he had no idea what she was saying to him. All he did was look up at her with eyes full of curiosity.Clara, who had been watching her son interacting with Serenity from the side, suddenly looked gloomy as a look of heartache flashed across her eyes. Did Yanny... regard Serenity as that person? Perhaps that was why he liked her so much... It was a pity that... they could never meet that person anymore.Serenity turned to Clara and asked her, "Can you teach me

“……” 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
