My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 330
Serenity took the lunch box and ate it quickly with her head down. Right now, all she wanted was to finish the food and leave as soon as possible."You're eating so fast. Are you in such a hurry to leave?" Jackson's voice reverberated in the office.*Cough cough*Serenity choked on her food. She had to cover her mouth to prevent herself from spitting out the food in her mouth. Her face turned red.After a while, she finally stopped coughing. A few grains of rice got on her palm, so she reached for a piece of tissue to wipe it.But before she could do that, Jackson grabbed her hand and pulled it over.She twisted her wrist uncomfortably but failed to break free. "My hand's dirty. I need to wipe it," she said."Dirty?" He chuckled. "I don't think it's dirty at all." He lowered his head and pressed his lips to her palm, licking away the grains on her palm one by one.Serenity's body turned stiff."Done." He sounded like he hadn't had enough yet.Serenity came back to her senses

Clara asked, "What's wrong? You ate so little. Is today's food not to your liking?" The restaurant would usually ask the chefs to cook something for the restaurant staff during off-peak hours and they would have lunch together."Oh, that's not it. I probably ate too much before I came to work this morning so I'm not that hungry." Serenity looked at Yanny and said, "Don't mind me. I'll feed Yanny some fruit."Serenity grabbed an apple, peeled it, and cut it into small pieces to feed Yanny.Yanny obediently opened his mouth and ate the apple one piece at a time. He occasionally gave Serenity a smile.After eating the apple, he felt sleepy and yawned. He spread his hands, asking for a hug.Serenity picked him up and gently lulled him to sleep.Although he could not actually hear her soft hum, he gently touched her lips with his tender fingers, as if he was trying hard to sense her voice.After a while, he fell asleep. Looking at the sleeping baby, Serenity's nose tingled. He was su

"By the way, you haven't been here for a long time, so everyone in the office misses you. Good thing you became a delivery woman. We can see you whenever we want now," said Liliana as she led Serenity into the law firm, "Since you're here, don't tell me you won't come in to say hi to your old co-workers."Serenity looked at Liliana flatly. Of course she knew what Liliana was playing at.In that case, she would face the challenge directly. If she tried to avoid it, she would look pathetic."Sure, I'll go in and say hi," Serenity said nonchalantly.Her attitude surprised Liliana. It was not what she wanted to see.Once inside, Liliana clapped a few times to attract everyone's attention and said, "Everybody, look over here. Our old co-worker, Serenity, is back."Many people in the office looked over upon hearing that.Serenity looked around and saw that some of them were old colleagues that she knew and some of them were new."Lily, is she someone who used to work here? Where is s
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 333
The one who provided the answer was naturally Liliana. Liliana deliberately raised her voice and told the story of how Serenity went to jail for drunk driving and killing someone...Serenity shrugged. Liliana must be trying to humiliate Serenity because Serenity used to be better than Liliana in everything back when Serenity was a lawyer. As expected, you can only see the true nature of people around you when you're down on your luck.When Serenity reached the elevator, she heard a sudden rush of footsteps behind her. A voice called out to her, "Serenity, wait!"Serenity turned around and saw a man running over. He stopped in front of her and stared at her with complicated eyes.He was a man in his 30s with medium build and a decent-looking face. He was in a suit and was dressed the way an elite white collar worker in the city would normally dress."Can I help you?" Serenity asked her former co-worker, James Holt. He used to be her partner in the firm. There were rumors that he

In the past, when the staff at the law firm went out for dinner, she would take the trouble to remind her drunken colleagues not to drive and to get a substitute driver.How could such a person possibly drive under influence?He believed she must have been wrongly accused. Yet, he did not have the courage to help her prove her innocence even though he was a lawyer!He was afraid that the water in her case would run too deep. He was afraid of going up against Jackson Valor.In Solaria, no one dared to offend Jackson Valor!Serenity could only blame her luck!Over the next few days, Jackson's secretary would place a large order every day at noon. As usual, Serenity was responsible for delivering the order.And then... Jackson would make her stay for lunch.Serenity had already told Jackson several times that she hoped he would stop doing that.But every time, he would just raise his eyebrows and ask with a smile, "Do you hate having lunch with me? I just want to have lunch with

But seeing how happy Clara was, Serenity could only sigh and put the takeouts on the electric scooter.She could only tell herself that, with more takeouts sold, Clara would be able to earn more and would be able to give Yanny a cochlear implant sooner.Serenity's heart ached for Yanny. It was so unfortunate that a lovely child would have such a disability. Moreover, Serenity had never seen his father being around.Yanny's family name was Wells like Clara, so Serenity could tell that Clara must be a single mother.Being a single mother was not easy.Serenity rode the electric scooter to the Valor Group. The security guards there were already very familiar with Serenity. The moment Serenity arrived, they immediately helped her move all the food onto the trolley and even helped her push the trolley into the building all the way to the elevator. They were even thoughtful enough to help her press the elevator button.The receptionist also greeted Serenity with a smile. She even bowed

Serenity pursed her lips. She did not know how to answer that. She could only open the lunch box and bury her head in it.Jackson's eyes were fixated on Serenity. He tried to keep her by his side time and time again. It was almost a habit by now.He did not want her to leave. He kept thinking of how he could make her stay willingly.He did not know when he started eagerly anticipating having lunch with her every day. He was happy just getting to eat with her, even if the atmosphere could be pretty quiet sometimes.Now that he thought about it, the days of him being "Jack" were probably the happiest days of his life. At least, back then, she would talk and laugh with him, treat him like an ordinary person, dry his hair intimately, and call him "Jack" over and over again.Jack... Jack...She had no idea how much he wanted to hear her call him that again. Back then, whenever she called his name, it was as if she was calling out to her most important family member.Serenity finished

"Thanks," Serenity took the book and said."I'm the one who should be thanking you," said Clara, "Yanny doesn't communicate much with strangers. Because he can't hear or speak, people are also reluctant to communicate with him. I'm so glad you're willing to learn sign language to communicate with him.""Yanny is very lovable. He also seems to like me a lot. Maybe we're fated to be friends," said Serenity.Fate... Clara looked like she was going to say something, but in the end, she simply said, "Yeah... maybe it's fate.""I'll see you tomorrow then, Clara," said Serenity."Yeah, see you tomorrow." Clara waited for Serenity to leave before she locked the door and went to the small residence at the back of the restaurant. Her son was lying on the bed and had already fallen asleep. Mrs. Wells was gently patting the baby's back."Is he asleep?" Clara asked softly. Even though she knew her son could not actually hear her, she still lowered her voice subconsciously."Yeah, he just fel

“……” 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
