My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 353
Lisa looked like a hungry little pig. As Terry was unfamiliar with the restaurants in the area, Lisa gladly took him to one of her favorite restaurants."They have some special dishes here. You won't find them in any other place." Once they got a seat in the restaurant, Lisa took the menu and ordered with great enthusiasm.While ordering, she passionately introduced the best dishes served in the restaurant. Halfway through, she found Terry looking at her with a deep gaze."Ah, sorry. I’ve spoken too much," Lisa said."Don't worry about it. Carry on. I'm listening," Terry said flatly.Lisa rubbed her nose, suddenly feeling lost for words. Not knowing what to say, Lisa spontaneously blurted out, "So, what brings you here today?" She wished she had bitten her tongue the moment she said that. It had been so hard for them to get past the topic of her blind date earlier. Why had she led the conversation back to the topic?! Sure enough, Terry looked up at her and said, "If I hadn't c

"I'm just thinking..." Lisa suddenly jolted, her gaze locked on Terry while her train of thoughts ran through her head. Terry was the current head of the White family. He naturally had connections and contacts in his hands. If Terry would help her look into Serenity's case, she might have an easier time getting some useful leads compared to looking alone.Lisa's eyes sparkled at that thought. Her gaze on Terry became even more intense, and she looked at him like he was some great treasure in the world."Hey... I know I did something wrong to you back then. I admit all my mistakes. I promise to do what you say, but umm... While we're dating, can you do me a small favor?" Lisa looked at Terry with hopeful eyes."A favor?" Terry seemed a little intrigued. "What kind of small favor do you need?" Looking at Lisa's expectant look, he could tell that this favor might not be as small as she made it seem."Umm, remember my friend Serenity? The lady who came to me with Jackson. She was con

Terry was a little stunned at her actions, his gaze fixed on her hands on his. Lisa was grabbing his hands so tightly, expressing her unconcealed joy.Terry glanced up to see her beaming. He suddenly felt a little jealous. Lisa was not smiling because of him. It was for Serenity. Lisa clearly prioritized Serenity much more than him!***Lucas leaned back in his seat inside the car, his hand gently rubbing his temples slightly.Lucas's secretary, Blake Hamer, was in the car with Lucas. He received a phone call and said to Lucas, "Mr. Gomez, Ms. Lewis is at the jewelry store. She has her eyes on a set of jewelry worth 3 million dollars. Would you like Ms. Lewis to have it?"The highly valued jewelry at 3 million dollars was a tremendous amount, so the jewelry store owner had called to inquire.Lucas said indifferently, "Since she has chosen, let her have it.""Yes," Blake responded and aptly passed the message to the jewelry store owner. Blake found Aria too materialistic and su
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 356
Lucas initially treated Aria as a substitute for the little girl in his childhood because her lips resembled those of the girl he remembered. Later, his purpose had gradually changed. Listening to Aria tell him something about Serenity would calm him down whenever he was in a bad mood even though Serenity was not the little girl who had saved him back then.Maybe it was because of Serenity's features. Serenity somehow resembled the little girl in his memory, which made Lucas treat Serenity especially. Whenever he saw her, he could not resist wanting to get closer to her.Even so... Serenity was the person Jackson wanted. No need for him to sever his relationship with Jackson for a woman. After all...Serenity was not the one he truly wanted to find.Lucas instinctively looked toward the street as the car drove across a familiar road. He was subconsciously looking at the uniformed sanitation workers by the road.Lucas knew Serenity was in charge of cleaning this particular road. The

Aria wore the necklace that was worth 3 million dollars with a face full of joy. She felt that her worth was equivalent to this 3-million-dollar necklace and that she was no longer someone ordinary.Aria had joined a new production crew and was playing the leading role. Although the director of this production was not as renowned as the previous one, overall, it was not bad. As the leading actress, she was quite satisfied with the resources Lucas provided.Aria was sure that as long as she was good to Lucas, good opportunities would be abundant. However, something was frustrating her. Whenever Lucas asked her out, he would ask her to tell him about Serenity. She had almost told him everything she knew.Aria felt uneasy sometimes. It was as if Lucas still let her hang on as his girlfriend to hear her talk about Serenity. However, knowing that Serenity had hooked up with Jackson, it was unlikely for Lucas to get involved with Serenity.Aria had asked around and heard about Lucas's st
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 358
Sure enough, when the women who had been vying for Lucas's attention saw Aria's necklace and listened to her words, strong jealousy and envy rose in their eyes. Finally, they walked away in defeat.Aria had a victorious smile, knowing she had achieved her goal. Seeing that the people around had left, Aria murmured to Lucas, "Lucas, I hope you won't be angry with me for wanting such an expensive necklace at the jewelry store."Aria behaved coyly, her teeth biting her lower lip in a pitiful but lovable look. As an actress, she knew what kind of expression she needed to appear softer and likable. "I just wanted to make myself more worthy of you. I don't want to embarrass you when I'm standing next to you," she explained.Lucas looked at the woman in front of him with pensive eyes. Worthy of him? Did Aria think she was worthy of him? Just by dressing up with jewelry and designer labels? In that case, countless women would be worthy of him. Lucas was certain this time. Other than her l

Aria became more excited at the thought of that. As she undressed him, her fingers touched a hard object. Leaning in for a closer look, she saw the silver bracelet Lucas often carried with him.Lucas held the silver bracelet close to his chest. Aria stared at the silver bracelet in a daze, lost in thought. 'This bracelet... It's just an ordinary and plain bracelet. What's so important about it? Why does he wear it like this? He's treating it like a precious treasure.'Aria picked up the bracelet and held it closer to get a better look. The very next moment, a strong hand grabbed her hand. She instinctively let go of the bracelet as a sharp pain hit her wrist.Aria gasped in pain. Then, she met a pair of cold eyes.Lucas was obviously a little drunk, but in this instance, his sharp eyes seemed to show no sign of drunkenness. His eyes were frighteningly clear."You can't touch this!" His voice was bone-chilling."I-I won't touch it again! I was just trying to help you to change y

Meanwhile, Aria was staring at the painting in front of her, her eyes full of disbelief.Aria had wanted to go in and have a look when she passed by the studio the last time, but Lucas had stopped her from going in. Having the chance this time, she could not resist the temptation anymore. Aria curiously pushed the door to the studio open and went in only to see the last thing she would have expected to see here—a painting with Serenity's face. Not the adult Serenity, but the young Serenity.The painting showed a little girl carrying a little boy on her back. The little girl was the young Serenity. Serenity had looked just like that when she was a child.Aria remembered the floral dress on the little girl. She had seen a similar dress in Serenity's photo album before.What the heck was going on? Why was the young Serenity on the painting in Lucas's studio? What was Lucas's relationship with Serenity?Aria had so many doubts in her mind. An overwhelming panic consumed her all at o

“……” 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
