My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 409
"What if she's single? Would she like Lucas then?" Jackson seemed determined to find an answer.'What... How would I know?!' Connor was frantic and had no choice but to answer Jackson seriously. "I think Ms. Lewis... She's quite conservative. She wouldn't casually fall for someone else.""Is that so? But she was dating Zeke before," Jackson reminded coldly.Connor wanted to cry. He felt the struggle as Jackson's trustworthy secretary. "Ms. Lewis' relationship with Zeke Shaw is a thing of the past. Zeke has betrayed Ms. Lewis. Naturally, she no longer has any feelings for him.""Betrayed?" Jackson raised his brow in surprise."Well, yeah. Zeke broke up with Ms. Lewis when she needed help the most. Isn't that betrayal?" Connor explained, "Knowing Ms. Lewis' character, she's the kind who won't forgive those who have betrayed her."Jackson's face darkened at Connor's comment, his mouth set in a grim line. What Zeke had done to Serenity was considered a betrayal. How about the things

"Why didn't you turn on the lights?" Serenity asked, feeling that something was off.Jackson simply avoided her question and murmured, "I missed you." Serenity's face flushed red, her heart racing. She was glad for the dark surroundings and hid her red face in the darkness. "What about you? Did you miss me today?" His deep voice resonated through her, his breath brushing the nape of her neck.All her attention shifted to the nape of her neck. She could feel his breath, and his lips were close to her, almost kissing her ear.In a daze, she felt a tickle of pain on her earlobe. She jolted to her senses, her face bright crimson. Jackson was nibbling her ear!"Did you miss me?" His low murmur rang again."Yes..." she almost stammered. "Uh... Let me go. I'll put my bag away," she said unsteadily. She could barely breathe, and the air that hung there between them was too much for her to handle.He did not oblige, still holding her in his embrace. Instead, he probed for her answer

"I'm not asking you to fall in love with me immediately. I'm not asking you to open your heart to me all of a sudden either. I just want you to like me a little better. I just want you to love me more," Jackson murmured.Jackson feared that Serenity did not like him enough. Her other feelings for him could replace her little love for him without warning, and he was afraid that she would leave him one day. Jackson slowly made her turn, and their eyes locked on each other.The living room was pitch black. The moonlight from the window allowed Serenity to see the outline of his face but not his expression. She could tell he was looking at her.Serenity raised her arm and cupped his cheeks as she promised solemnly, "Okay. I'll learn to love you better."Before this, Serenity was still confused about their relationship. She could not see a future together with him. It seemed her thoughts had changed. Serenity was willing to accept Jackson, regardless of their future. She wanted to s
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 412
Jackson was a powerful man with a high position in society. Endless temptations surrounded him. Even so, she knew his love for her was true for the moment. However, would this endure the future and last forever?"I will never love anyone else. You're the only one I've ever loved in my life," Jackson vowed. "So, if I make a mistake about something else, you'll forgive me, won't you?" His murmur was pleading and eager."Yes," Serenity responded.When the one-syllable answer was out of her mouth, Jackson hugged her and squeezed her tight again."Remember what you’ve said today, Serenity. Don't forget this. You promised!" Serenity's promise seemed extremely important to him, something unforgettable and never-changing.***Later, Serenity could see the red creeping over her cheeks in the bathroom mirror.It had been a while since they had hugged and kissed in the living room, but the flush on her cheeks had not faded.Jackson had seemed a little odd earlier. Serenity felt that som

The video was no longer online, but... Serenity did not want to hide it from Jackson. After all, they were officially dating. "Well..." Serenity told Jackson about what had happened earlier at noon, including the dispute and Lucas helping her.Serenity studied Jackson's face when she finished the story, but he did not seem surprised. She could not resist asking, "You knew?""Yeah. I saw that video," Jackson said.Serenity was surprised in turn. She had not even seen the video yet he had seen it!Afraid he would misunderstand, she spoke first. "That video... There's nothing between us." She had heard about the video earlier. Clara had mentioned that many comments were speculating about her relationship with Lucas.Jackson sat on the bed with his arms around her waist. He tilted his head slightly and looked up at her. "So, you're not attracted to Lucas, are you?""Of course not," Serenity answered. Her? Attracted to Lucas? Speaking of which, she found Jackson much more attracti
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 414
Serenity immediately thought of what had happened yesterday. Lucas had helped her tie her shoelace. Was Jackson jealous?"Is he actually jealous?" Serenity thought, feeling that it was a little sweet. Jackson being jealous was something that would have never crossed her mind before. 'The sun?' Clara looked out the window at the cloudy sky. The sun was hiding behind the thick clouds on this cloudy day."Oh, right. Yanny is going to get his surgery done soon. My mother and I are going to the hospital. We'll take care of him for a couple of days. I'll take a few days off but don't worry. Wages will be paid as usual." Clara said, "I'll inform you when to start work again.""Sure." Serenity said, "I wish Yanny a smooth and successful surgery. Let me know after that. I'm eager to know the news of his surgery too.""Alright," Clara responded, smiling. Although closing the store for a few days would affect business, her son's hearing was her utmost priority for the moment.Clara had man

"Where is Serenity? Is she not in the store?" Lucas inquired."Serenity... She went to make a delivery. She'll be back soon," Clara answered.Lucas stopped asking questions and ordered a special coffee milk tea. He then got a seat for himself and sipped the drink slowly.Lucas was a naturally striking man. His presence in the shop alone attracted many people's attention. As business was slow, few guests were in the restaurant. No one recognized this eye-catching man as the Prince Lucas of the entertainment world.Despite his aloofness, his looks and figure alone seemed strangely attractive to many. Many guests in the restaurant frequently cast their eyes upon him.Even Clara could not help but marvel at Lucas' presence. The way he sat there leisurely, sipping his coffee milk tea, seemed like an advertisement rolling in real life. For some reason, Clara found the coffee milk tea she served in the restaurant classier than ever. Clara wondered how long it would take for Serenity to
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 416
Lucas' fingers tightened around the coffee cup. "What if I regret it?" Lucas had underestimated Serenity's influence on him when he made his previous decision. He had thought that he only cared for her because she looked like the little girl in his memory.Gradually, Lucas realized that it was more than that. He felt his heart clench whenever he saw someone trying to harm her. He would always rush over to her rescue subconsciously, almost as if seeing her a little hurt was enough to make his heart ache.Lucas was unwilling to let her leave whenever they parted, wishing her gaze on him would stay a little longer, even if it was just for a little while!No other woman had ever affected him as much as her. When had he ever cared so much about a woman? He only cared about the little girl who had saved his life back then, but Serenity was an exception.Lucas occasionally wondered. Maybe he should not have given Serenity to Jackson without putting up a fight. Would things be different if

“……” 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! The

"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
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 3369
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
