"Wait." Lucas stepped forward and grabbed her. "Are you angry? I didn't mean to belittle your current job."Serenity gave him an odd look. "I'm not angry." It was not worth getting angry at petty things like this or letting the anger drown her."If you want, I can get you another job," Lucas offered."Mr. Gomez, we aren't that close. You don't have to help with my career. I'm happy with my current job," Serenity said and glanced at his hand. "Can you let go of my hand? I'm rushing to make a delivery."Lucas's rich and black eyes stared at her. A moment later, he finally let go. 'We aren't that close?' Despite what she had said, he knew her better than she thought. He had learned about her past from early childhood to her adult life from Aria's word of mouth."Happy with your job now?" He suddenly let a soft chuckle. "Would someone who was a lawyer be happy with just being a delivery girl now?"A gloomy look flashed in Serenity's eyes. 'Someone who used to be a lawyer...' Her past

"He asked about you. I said you went to work in the kitchen, and he glanced at the kitchen." Mrs. Wells was puzzled. "Who is he? Do you know him?"Mrs. Wells had seen how Clara had hurriedly avoided Lucas as soon as she saw him.Clara had a complicated look on her face. "That man is Lucas Gomez, the prince of the entertainment industry! When... I met Lucas a few times while I was still with him.""Did Lucas recognize you?" Mrs. Wells asked nervously.Clara sighed. "He probably did." Clara's current appearance was very much different than the old her. Even so, Lucas must have recognized her. Otherwise, he would not have asked Mrs. Wells that question before leaving.Mrs. Wells' face turned ugly. "Oh... What should we do? Will he tell that man about you? I think Serenity seems to know Lucas... Should we let Serenity talk to him for us?"Clara bit her lips slightly. She was still puzzled about the situation earlier. She had initially thought that Lucas had walked into her restaura

'Which means... Mr. Valor is yearning for Ms. Lewis' affection?' Connor thought and finally understood the situation. However, he was still astonished. When had Mr. Valor actually cared about a woman's feelings for him?!"Ms. Lewis has... suffered greatly. Having been through so many struggles, she'll probably see right through things. If you force your way to her, she may appear submissive but keep a greater distance in her heart."Connor suggested, "Ms. Lewis seems to be the soft type. It might be easier to persuade her with gentler ways. She may eventually feel comfortable enough to let her guard down.""So, am I supposed to please her to get her to like me?" Jackson murmured.Connor blinked, feeling a little frightened. He had only suggested that his boss soften his ways, not please her. 'B-but... If Mr. Valor is trying to impress a woman, isn't she going to be...'"But how am I supposed to please her?" Jackson asked.Connor's words got caught in his throat. Hearing Mr. Valor

Terry looked like a prince in a comic book in his pristine suit and delicate face. Surely no one would believe that a man like him was her boyfriend.Lisa just wanted to gaze up at the sky and sigh. She felt miserable thinking about the last few days of events.It had all started with the blind date with Godfrey. She had thought that the blind date was a failure and would end there, but she did not expect what would come next. When she went home, her mother had lectured her about the blind date incident and berated her for not telling the family about her boyfriend. The introducer who had referred Godfrey to her family had even called her parents and blew up at them, embarrassing her parents.Right after that, her parents had started to ask who her boyfriend was.Lisa had initially refused to admit it given the situation. She had given a lame excuse and claimed that a friend had happened to pass by and helped her knowing that she did not want a blind date.Her parents had questi

Shortly after, the elevator arrived, and the person walking out of it just happened to be Lisa's neighbor. As soon as the neighbor saw her, she immediately greeted her, "Oh, you're home, Lisa! And this must be your boyfriend!"As the neighbor spoke, her eyes wandered toward Terry.Lisa was still in shock and did not know how to react, but Terry quickly answered the neighbor, "Yes, you're right. I'm Lisa's boyfriend.""Ah, looks like it won't be long before I get invited to your wedding!"The neighbor smiled before she hastily added, "Very well, then! Hurry up and take your boyfriend in, Lisa! Your mother's been nagging about it all day. She just can't wait to meet your boyfriend!"Lisa broke out into a sweat. Now she knew exactly why her neighbor thought Terry was her boyfriend the moment she saw him—her mother must have been announcing it to the world the whole day!They entered the elevator, and Lisa glanced at Terry only to see him staring at her with a half-smile on his face.

Lisa's parents hastily replied, "Pleasure... to meet you too."Her dad then invited Terry to take a seat while her mother pulled her aside and asked her, "Is that really your boyfriend?! You didn't hire an actor to pretend to be your boyfriend, did you?"Lisa rolled her eyes, "Maybe I did do that, Mom.""Silly girl!" Mrs. Quest snapped angrily. "How could you say things like that?! Go on, go make us some tea."After that, Mrs. Quest changed into her warm and welcoming expression as she walked over to Terry.Having been reduced to a waitress, Lisa stomped into the kitchen to brew some tea. When she reemerged in the living room with a tray of tea and cups in her hands, her parents and Terry seemed to already be getting along swimmingly in a cheerful conversation."So," said Mrs. Quest, "you said you met Lisa abroad, didn't you, Terry? Does that mean you two have been in contact all these years?""No," Terry replied. "I happened to bump into her when I returned to this country not

"I guess I can do whatever you want," Lisa said. After all, she had no money to offer him nor had anything else but her life to give."Okay," he said.She was stunned. Did he just... agree to her request? Was that not too easy?"How's your hand?" He asked as his gaze fell on Lisa's hand which was still held under the cold running water. "Does it still hurt?""Not anymore," she replied. "It's been under the running water for quite a while, so I think I should be fine now."He turned off the tap, pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket, and used it to pat her hand dry."Is there any medicine in your house?" he asked. "Your hand is still a little red and swollen. I think we'd better apply some medicine on it.""Umm, I think there is.""Go get it, then."Lisa hurried to her own bedroom and quickly got the ointment for burns. It was only then that she suddenly realized what she was doing. Why had she been so obedient in following Terry's orders?!Still, she shook off the thought

"I have some half-brothers and half-sisters," Terry replied. "My father had a lot of mistresses, so he naturally had many children as well."Lisa's parents did not expect this kind of answer at all. They turned awkward and had no idea how to continue the conversation.Seeing this, Lisa did not quite know why, but she quickly responded, "Mom, Dad, what his parents did has nothing to do with him! He's his own person! He's not his parents!"Terry turned to Lisa in shock, but there was a tinge of warmth in his eyes that even he did not notice.Luckily, Lisa's father came back to his senses and echoed her, "That's right! He's not his parents. So... Terry, what kind of work do you do now?""I'm mainly responsible for the management of a corporate group.""Management... of a corporate group?"Lisa's father looked like he doubted what he had just heard. He continued, "What kind of company do you manage? You're only 29 years old, aren't you?"In Mr. Quest's mind, a 29-year-old would hav

“……” 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
