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.

    "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

    At the moment, the atmosphere in the ward was quiet. No one made a sound. She could tell that Master Zack was observing her very seriously, but there also seemed to be a bit of disdain and disgust in his eyes.Next to Master Zack, in addition to a nurse, was the man who brought her here. He claimed to be Master Zack's personal secretary."Do you know why I brought you here?" After a while, Master Zack finally broke the silence."I know," answered Serenity, "It's because of Jackson, right?" She would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous and apprehensive on the way here, but now that she had arrived and had seen the disdain in Master Zack's eyes, she managed to calm down for some reason.She had already been through the worst possible experience. How bad could this be?Master Zack harrumphed. "I'm glad you know that!""What do you want to say to me?" Serenity went straight to the point. She was tired, so she did not want to beat around the bush."I can't believe he would let yo

    Didn't she choose to study law in order to uphold justice? But now, she could not even uphold justice for herself."A wise decision," the man laughed and said.Serenity's hands clenched into fists. So this is what it felt like to be powerless!The closer the dagger moved towards her face, the harder she trembled. She abruptly ducked under the man's arm and dashed towards the door of the ward.When she opened the door, she was grabbed and held down by the two bodyguards who were guarding the door.The man walked up to Serenity and mocked, "I thought you had guts, but it turns out you were just waiting for an opportunity to run away. But, like you said, you can't escape."Yes, she could not escape, but even if she was just a lamb waiting for slaughter, she wanted to give herself a chance to fight back.Serenity was dragged back into the ward once more. When the dagger was going to cut her face for real this time, the door was suddenly kicked open.A figure walked in and went stra

    In the past, Jackson would never leave the Valor Residence in the evening on this day no matter what. He would stay in front of his father's portrait the whole night to remind himself not to repeat his father's mistake.He would do this every year.But this evening, things have changed!Jackson led Serenity out of the hospital.A black car was at the entrance of the hospital. After getting into the car, Serenity still felt like everything that happened was a dream. She thought this evening would become a nightmare, but surprisingly, he showed up."Scared?" He asked while holding her hand. Even now, her hand was still slightly trembling.Serenity bit her lower lip, then nodded her head. Yes, how can she not be scared? Her fate was completely left in the hands of others. She felt so powerless.As if a single word from others could determine her life and death."I got careless today," Jackson said, "I thought the old man wouldn't touch you so quickly. He's more anxious than I tho

    He was not in the room.Where could he be? Downstairs?But when Serenity went downstairs, she found that Jackson was not downstairs either.She did not know why she would go outside when she could not find him in the main house.The Valor Residence was really big. Outside the main house, there were the servants' rooms, the garden, other pavilions, as well as ponds and streams.In fact, having stayed at the Valor Residence for so long, she had never really taken a stroll through the Valor Residence. She was not sure how big it really was.It was the wee hours of the morning. Besides some lighting along the way, the whole place was dark.The night was a little chilly because of the wind. Serenity could not help pulling up her collar. She asked herself, why was she looking for Jackson? Was it because she was afraid that something might have befallen him?As if anything would happen to him in the Valor Residence!In the end, she could only tell herself that she merely wanted to ch

    She hesitated for a moment before she said, "It's nothing. I noticed that you didn't go back to your own room after walking me to my room. Instead, you walked towards the stairs. I thought you might be up to something, so... uhh... since you're fine, I guess I'll go back..."She turned around, intending to leave.However, a pair of arms instantly hugged her from behind. "Sis, you were worried about me, weren't you?"Serenity instantly felt his scent enveloping her. She did not know what to say.Worried? Was she worried about him?Her mind was in a mess. Was it because he saved her tonight? That's why she did not think of him as Jackson Valor tonight, but as "Jack", so she was worried about him?While thinking that, she suddenly noticed the sound of his breathing near her ear becoming more rapid. He was also moaning softly in his throat. He slowly loosened his arms that were wrapped around her.Serenity turned around and saw that Jackson's face was pale. His forehead was drenched

    "If you don't take medicine, what if the pain gets worse?" said Serenity. Suddenly, she thought of something. She took out her phone and browsed online pharmacies.Although some of the pharmacies were a little far away, she could just pay a higher delivery fee. The medicine would arrive in 20 minutes. It would be faster than waiting for a security guard to go out, buy the medicine, and come back.Serenity immediately made an order. She bought the same medicine she used to buy for Jackson. After that, her eyes fell on him again.He was curled up in pain. His lips were tightly shut as if he was trying hard to stop himself from groaning, but that made his breath sound even more painful.His eyes were closed. His long eyelashes made shadows on his lower eyelids like they were fans.The man who called the shots in Solaria seemed like a helpless, vulnerable child at the moment, as if he could only rely on himself to stop the pain.Serenity felt pity for him for some reason. He was the

    Serenity told Jackson, "Wait here for a minute. I'll go get the medicine." After saying that, she ran out of the mourning hall.Jackson lay on the sofa. Wait for a minute?... Back then, when she went out in the middle of the night to buy medicine for him, she said the same thing.Okay, he would wait. He would wait for her to come back...Serenity rushed to the mansion's metal gate. The street lights outside the gate shone on the delivery man's bewildered face.Obviously, the delivery man did not expect to deliver medicine to such a luxurious mansion."Are you Miss Lewis?" the man asked."Yes, that's me," Serenity answered. She took the medicine from him and said thank you. She then turned around and ran back to the mourning hall.The delivery man scratched his head. Looking at the huge mansion before him, he could still hardly believe it.In the Valor Residence's security office, several security guards were watching the surveillance monitors with dumbfounded looks on their fa

    “……” 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
