Morris quickly emerged from the house. Upon seeing Jacqueline, his eyes brightened.

Jacqueline thought she would be happy to see him, but now that she did, she couldn’t feel any joy at all.

"I want to talk to Morris outside for a bit, is that okay?" Jacqueline asked Marissa.

"Oh, why outside? Why not come in?" Marissa warmly suggested.

But Jacqueline insisted, "Outside is fine."

Marissa opened her mouth to argue but faltered when she met Jacqueline's gaze. Jacqueline was just a child, yet her eyes made Marissa feel an inexplicable sense of fear.

"Well... okay, you can talk outside," she relented.

"I want to speak with Morris alone," Jacqueline added.

Though reluctant, Marissa couldn’t say no. The driver who came with Jacqueline stepped forward and said, "Please go back in."

Marissa had no choice but to go back into the house. The driver stood at the door. Jacqueline turned to Morris and asked, "Did you befriend me just to gain something from me?"

"Huh?" Morris was taken aback

    "Jackie..." Morris pleaded, his voice filled with embarrassment and guilt, "I... Can I still learn the piano with you? Even if you don’t want to be friends anymore, I still want to learn the piano with you. I’ll learn lots of pieces – whatever you want to hear, I promise I'll play it for you."His voice trembled with emotion.Jacqueline hesitated, but the things she heard earlier echoed in her mind. She tried to pull her hand free of his grip. "There's no need. I don’t want to hear you play the piano anymore. Morris, I don’t like being used, and I don’t want my family to be used either. I used to love your playing, but not anymore."With that, she got into the car with the driver, leaving him behind.The black vehicle slowly drove away, fading from Morris' view.He stood there, staring blankly at the departing car, his fragile body trembling with overwhelming fear.Does Jackie... hate him now?Would he never play the piano with her, attend classes together, or even see her anymo

    He approached his daughter's room and lightly knocked on the door. When there was no response, he gently opened the door and stepped inside.As soon as he entered, he heard his daughter sobbing. The sound made Jackson frown, his heart aching for her. Among his children, Jackie took after Serenity the most, and she was also a girl, so she had always been his favorite. Seeing her cry filled him with deep sorrow.He walked over and said softly, "Jackie, why are you crying? Are you sad because the Yale family used you?"Jacqueline stiffened, then looked up at her father. Her tear-filled eyes deepened his heartache, and he began to regret his decisions.If he had known this would happen, he would have lied and said they couldn’t find Morris. She would have been disappointed, but it would have been better than seeing her in such pain."Don't cry. Just tell Daddy what you want. Whatever it is, Daddy will make it happen for you," Jackson promised.Through her sniffles, Jacqueline said,

    "Yes," Jackson said. This would serve as a good lesson for his daughter, albeit a painful one. "You can only speak to the people you trust, not just anyone."Jacqueline listened to her father, and her mind traveled to the look on Morris' face before she had left. Morris had given her a pleading look, pulling her hand. Why had he looked at her like that?Jacqueline loved Morris' music and wanted to be his friend. It would be nice if he hadn’t used her. She felt sad at the thought, and it seemed she would not hear his music again. -The weather got colder at the end of the year. The city was filled with a festive holiday atmosphere with a mere couple of days left before New Year. Winter arrived, and Coco curled into a ball, keeping herself warm. Her husband was constantly afraid she would get cold, so she had to wear more layers and dress warmly to stop him from worrying. Coco thought she would be exhausted during pregnancy, but it seemed Lucas had it harder than her. Lucas ca

    Lucas must be in the study at this hour. Sure enough, she arrived at the study to find the lights on.Coco opened the door and saw Lucas sitting at the writing desk, working on the computer and looking through the papers at hand.When she entered, he was startled and glanced up at her. "Why are you awake?""I got a leg cramp," she whimpered. Lucas stood up sharply and strode toward her. "Sit down. I'll give you a massage.""Don't worry about it. Go ahead with your work," Coco urged. She wanted him to finish his work and sleep early instead of delaying him."Let me," Lucas insisted, hoping to ease her leg cramps. Since he was pretty insistent this time, she had no choice but to go along with him. Coco sat on the couch, staring at her husband. Lucas would listen to her most of the time, but she would surrender whenever he insisted.Grabbing Coco's legs, Lucas rested her legs on his thighs like he always did. "Which leg is cramping?""My left leg," she said.Lucas rolled up he

    Coco grinned, her fingers trailing over his face. "Hm?" Lucas shot her a glance."Don't mind me," Coco laughed dryly. "My husband is so handsome. I just can't stop."After rubbing her left leg, he switched to her right.Unable to resist the seductive look on his face, she touched him, her fingers moving down from his cheeks to his neck. His Adam's apple was so prominent, and she could not resist touching it. Lucas did his best to hang onto his self-control, but he could barely resist while she kept stroking his throat like a toy.Eyes narrowed, Lucas turned to his wife with a warning gaze. "You keep touching me. How long are you going to do this?" he rasped. "Huh?" Coco jolted in surprise. The look on his face told her she had been pushing him to his limits. "Well… Um…""You love this?" Lucas' voice dropped dangerously low, his gaze intent.Her face flushed pink. She tried to withdraw her hand, but he moved one step faster, pressing her hand against his neck. "Are you doi

    Coco covered her mouth and yawned. Lucas had slept much later than her yesterday, but he seemed more energetic than her."Still sleepy?" Lucas seemed to be in good spirits."Yeah…" She yawned, still feeling drowsy."You can nap in the car later," he said, helping her dress.Closings her eyes, Coco let him dress her. She seemed to have gotten used to this. She could be a little bit shy with him while awake, but not when the cloud of sleepiness filled her mind.After dressing her in her shirt and pants, he helped put on her socks on bended knees. Bending over became harder as her pregnancy progressed. Since then, he had been helping her put on her socks and shoes.Coco glanced down at Lucas squatting before her, fully awakened by this time."Lucas, you're gonna be a great dad," Coco said abruptly.Lucas tilted his chin slightly, looking up at her. "Why all of a sudden?""I just think you're very good at taking care of people. You'll raise our kids well," she said, the thought of

    Coco could not recognize the stranger, but she was definitely not a familiar face. From her question, she might be acquainted with Lucas."I am," Coco replied. "And you are?"The stranger took off her mask, and Coco immediately recognized her as Jayce Tyler! Jayce had risen to fame about ten years ago. Although no longer as popular as before, she was still active on TV in supporting roles."Hello," Coco greeted her. "You must be Jayce. I've seen your TV shows."It was not surprising to meet celebrities in this particular hospital. After all, it was the hospital where most celebrities and high-profile people would come, especially for the obstetrics and gynecology clinic. "Nice to meet you," Jayce greeted back, looking at Coco's already obvious belly. She sighed a little, "I never thought I'd see you here."Coco puzzled, "What?""Nothing. I've always wanted to talk to you," Jayce said."When I first met Lucas, I thought he'd marry someone of high status, intellectual, or with h

    Lucas' face darkened as he thought of his history of dating Jayce. Then, he rushed toward the restroom, fearing that Jayce would hurt Coco.Lucas had provided Jayce with plenty of opportunities and resources while they were dating, but Jayce's career had gone slightly downhill after they broke up, and her popularity had gradually declined. Jayce had a considerably good life even though it had been years since her peaceful breakup with Lucas. Logically speaking, Jayce had no reason to hurt Coco, but Lucas lost his judgment because of fear.Worried about Coco, Lucas rushed into the restroom just in time to see Jayce reaching out to Coco near the sink. He rushed forward, protecting Coco behind him. "Jayce! What are you up to?!" Jayce froze, her hand still hanging in mid-air. "Lucas?! W-Why are you here?""What are you doing to Coco?!" Lucas questioned again."I..." Jayce was barely coherent, still confused by Lucas' sudden entrance.Coco poked her head from behind, calming him do

    “……” 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
