My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 383
“No, I’m fine with this place!” replied Serenity hastily. The grave plot Jackson had picked for her mother had its own private space compared to the other graves. Using an analogy with the different types of houses, the rest of the cemetery was like an apartment block, while her mother’s grave was a standalone bungalow. The private grave plot was neatly lined with a row of trees. There were also marble tables and chairs for visitors within the compound. “Very well,” said Jackson. “Then it’s time for you to lay down your mother’s ashes.” Serenity nodded before she knelt down and placed the urn inside a hole specially dug to contain the urn. Then, the workers covered the hole with cement, thus sealing the grave. One of them passed a contract over to her. It contained a fifty-year lease over the grave plot. She was shocked when she saw the price of the lease. It was so expensive that she probably wouldn’t be able to afford the lease even prior to the incident. “All expenses ha

Jackson’s pitch-black hair contrasted his fair skin. From her position, she could clearly see his beautiful neck, his shapely ear, and the side profile of his face. Everything about him was magnetic as she couldn’t look away from him. At that moment, she felt even his ear was much better looking than any other person’s. When he straightened his back and turned to face her, Serenity felt her heart hammering against her chest. His gaze under the moonlight was gentle. His lips opened and closed, creating sounds that tugged at her heartstrings as if they were a magical harp. At that moment, Serenity felt her surroundings fade away, making him the only existing being in her world. Then, she watched as his face inched closer. His facial features were flawless as if they were sculpted by God’s own hands. “What’s the matter?” his voice sounded. Serenity snapped out of her reverie and realized she had fallen into a trance from staring at him. “It’s… it’s nothing,” replied Sereni
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 385
Serenity noticed that whenever Jackson glanced at her, there would always be a hint of fascination in his gaze as if they had already known each other for years. However, she also noticed that he would quickly revert to his usual self, who acted as if he desperately wanted to leave her.Something seemed to have changed recently, as she noticed the struggle in his eyes. At that moment, Serenity had no idea what was the appropriate response. Under his intense gaze, her face grew bright red. “Why are you looking away? I want you to look at me, sis!” said Jackson as he moved closer to her. As if his voice contained a magical spell, her gaze unwittingly returned to his face. When she looked at him, she was met with a gentle gaze, from which she sensed longing and attachment. His hair was slicked back, which left his forehead exposed. In her mind, the image of him right now kept overlapping with “Jack” from before. Back then, Jack would also look at her in the same way. “Perhaps,
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 386
From the very beginning, all Jackson wanted was for Serenity to love him willingly. As time passed, his desire for this grew stronger. He wanted her to develop strong feelings for him only. In fact, he could not accept the possibility that she might be with another man in the future. Every time he thought of this, his heart would be overwhelmed by a tidal wave of jealousy. Jealousy… because of her, he finally understood how it felt to be jealous. Serenity looked up at him intently. The hand that rested against her cheek felt hot. At that moment, memories of the time she spent with him came flooding through her mind. Even… even if she felt a certain degree of fear toward him, perhaps she really had developed feelings for him. In fact, she might have already liked him back when he was still known to her as “Jack.” “Are you really okay with me falling for you?” she asked quietly. “Yes,” replied Jackson without hesitation. “What about you? How do you feel about me? Or per
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 387
Perhaps Serenity was a little impulsive when she said that last night. But… it was the truth. It seems that at some point, she had fallen for this man named Jackson Valor. Toward him, she felt both fear and admiration. Although they were contradicting feelings, they still existed together. “That means you wish to be with me, yes?” asked Jackson. “Huh?” His question caught her by surprise. Suddenly, she remembered how he pulled her into his arms after she confessed her feelings for him. “Then what do I have to do to make you like me only, and not any other man?” When Serenity heard what he said, she blurted out in response, “You mean… like a boyfriend?” Jackson murmured in reply, “Boyfriend, huh? Do you wish to date me?” Date me? Her mind went blank when she heard those words. Perhaps she had never imagined the two of them in such a relationship. The corners of Jackson’s mouth were upturned. “Then we’ll do just that. How do you feel about us dating?” he asked. “Sure,”

“Turns out I wasn’t mistaken at all. It really was you.” Lucas glanced at Clara with an indifferent expression. “Let me guess. You want me to keep what I saw a secret from Wilson?” Clara’s body trembled the moment she heard him mention Wilson’s name. It’s been such a long time since she last heard someone talking about him. It was a name that she once loved, but also hated. Now, she just wanted to stay as far as possible away from that person, so she could continue her life in peace.“Yes,” affirmed Clara through gritted teeth. “I understand that I don’t have the right to tell you what to do, but I beg your mercy. Just pretend that you didn’t see me!” Clara’s tone indicated that she had accepted her position as an inferior in this negotiation. Even if he wanted her to grovel at his feet, she likely would have done so without hesitation. “You probably know that for the past few years, he’s been on the search for you,” said Lucas. Clara pursed her lips and remained silent. He

Perhaps there was more to the story than a simple car accident. Lucas pondered in silence and laughed to himself. The only fatality from the car accident was Mira Hall, Jackson’s fiancee. Yet, Serenity and Jackson were dating today. If it really were a plot to remove Mira from the picture, then Jackson would have investigated the matter. Why was he being so worked up about it?It’s just that…“When did Serenity start working at your shop?” asked Lucas out of the blue.“Huh?” Even Clara was surprised by his question. After a moment, she answered, “I guess about half a month ago? She’s helping us with order deliveries.” “How is she as a worker?” inquired Lucas. “She’s pretty good. Serenity’s a diligent worker and rarely messes up our orders. I’ve never heard her complain about being tired…” As Clara spoke about Serenity, Lucas propped up his face and wore an intrigued expression. His lips were curled into a smile, and there was a renewed gentle look on his face compared to bef

The landlord’s reply pissed off Grayson to no end. He was about to ask the landlord about the room when the man hung up.“What’s going on? Did something happen to the urn?” asked Catherine anxiously. “The landlord said someone went there last night and took it away!” replied Grayson. “What do you mean? What about our money? If not for that damned urn, that girl would never give us fifty million!” Catherine began panicking. All of a sudden, a possibility popped up in her mind. “Right, she must’ve hired someone to take it away…” With a frown, Grayson dialed Serenity’s number. A moment later, she answered the call. “What’s the matter?” “Listen, I’ve thought about it, and since you’re still my daughter, if you can’t fork out the fifty million you promised yesterday, I’ll accept half that amount first, and I’ll tell you where your mother’s buried. Didn’t you say that you were getting along well with Jackson? He shouldn’t have a problem coming up with that amount, right?” Althou

“……” 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
