"I... understand," said Clara. "I won't tell her anything."She then hesitated and added, "Although I now know that Serenity is your girlfriend, I've never had any idea to use her from the start, and I naturally have no intention to do so now either. I gave her a job back then because we both suffered the same fate and used to be in prison, so I felt sorry for her and wanted to give her a chance so she could stand on her own two feet."Hearing this, the iciness in Jackson's eyes thawed a little."I won't meddle in the business between you and Wilson Birch," he assured her. "All I want is for Serenity to work here safely and peacefully. If anything happens to her, you can always give me a call."After speaking, he gave Clara his phone number. She quickly noted it down. To think that only a handful of people in the whole of Solaria actually had this man's number, and Clara had actually gotten it under such bizarre circumstances!Nevertheless, since Jackson had assured her that he wo

Lately, he had always been spending the night sleeping in the same bed with her in this room. Although strictly speaking they did nothing at all the whole night, as time went on, it had become a habit for both of them to fall asleep together without them even realizing it.Because she had to keep the lights on while sleeping, Serenity would gently hint, "I always need the light to be on when I'm sleeping and you're probably not used to it. Why don't you just go sleep in your own room instead?"But the only reply she got was, "I just want to sleep with you, Sis. I don't mind it even if the lights are on."And so, the rest of what she had in mind remained unsaid."Are you going to bed now?" Jackson asked when he saw her heading toward the bed."Uh-huh," she replied, blushing slightly.She then lifted the blanket and prepared to climb into bed when Jackson suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tight, burying his face against her body. He was acting just like a sp

"But even if Lucas really wants to snatch you away from me," Jackson asked in a whispering voice, "he still won't get what he wants, right? Because I'm the man you like the most, and I'm also the man you're destined to fall in love with one day, right?"His warm breath tickled her face, and soon after she heard his voice, his kiss quickly followed as it landed gently on her lips.He would never let anyone take her away from him. She was his and his alone!*** When Serenity woke up the next day, Jackson had already gone to work. So, after eating her breakfast, she went straight to preparing his lunch.Both the lunch box and the cooking ingredients were already there for her in the kitchen of the Valor Residence. In fact, even the cook was there by her side, and he had been ordered to give Serenity any assistance or help that she might need.When the lunch was finally prepared, even Serenity felt that her cooking skills had improved to a higher level. So, with the lunchbox in tow,

But it was precisely because she could comprehend the conversation that she was now feeling even more embarrassed. In the end, it was Jackson who confirmed their suspicions with a brief, "It's her.""Oh? So what's going on between the two of you, Jackson? Are you guys lovers?"Because these people were foreigners, they were much more direct in their manner of speaking. Had it been Jackson's Solarian employees, they would never even dare to think of asking him such a blunt and personal question.Serenity then heard Jackson reply in French, "She is the woman that I love the most."In that instant, she felt as if her heart had been gripped tightly by an invisible hand that made even the beating of the heart difficult. When the meeting was finally over, Jackson walked over to Serenity's side and asked her, "What's wrong? Why is your face so red?"She hastily answered, "N-Nothing..."But that only made him hold her face and study her blushing face intently, asking her, "Is it beca

"Yanny's surgery went well!" Serenity heard Clara's voice say from the other end of the line. "The doctor said he'd need about two days to get used to it and then he'll be able to start the training to recognize sounds and voices.""That's great!" cried Serenity with joy. "I'll come over and visit Yanny this afternoon, then."She then asked Clara where Yanny's hospital ward was and ended the call."Was that about the deaf kid?" Jackson asked."Yeah," she replied. "Yanny's operation went well, and since I'm free in the afternoon, I think I'll go visit him later.""I'll go with you, then," said Jackson."Go with me?" Serenity's eyes widened with surprise. "But... don't you still need to work?""I'll just let my secretary postpone my appointments this afternoon. There's nothing urgent, anyway."Although he had said that, Serenity could guess that as the CEO of such a large corporate group, there would be very few matters in his work that were not urgent."What's wrong? Don't you

Sometimes, she even could not help wondering if she really was that important a person to Jackson. They had only known each other for half a year, so could his feelings for her really have developed that far?But it did not look like he had any reason to lie to her either since she was currently a total nobody. Lying to her would not benefit him at all, would it?"Will you, Sis?"His magnetic voice buzzed with undeniable desire as he asked her the same question for the third time."Well... if I have the time to do it, I'll try my best to cook for you more often."When she regained her composure, she could still feel her heart beating violently in her chest."Good," he said, smiling faintly.Serenity lowered her head hastily and cleaned up the lunchboxes on the table. Just as she was about to close the lid of the lunchbox, she suddenly let out a cry and recoiled her finger before gasping in pain."What's wrong?" he asked with urgent concern."It's nothing," she replied. "I just

After a while, Jackson was finally done trimming Serenity's nails under her instruction and guidance.The first thing she felt was exhaustion. It would have been much simpler and easier if she could have just trimmed her nails herself. Still, it looked like Jackson was having fun trimming her nails. Once he was done with one finger, he began scrutinizing the rest of her fingernails and started to trim all of them too.He even seemed disappointed when he was done, almost as if he wished it was not over so soon. "When your nails get longer again," he told her, "let me help you trim them again, okay?""..."Serenity was left speechless and unable to react. Because it was still noon, it would have been too early to go to the hospital to visit Yanny now, so Jackson returned to his desk and settled the remaining work he had for the day while Serenity picked up her phone and began scrolling through the news.Suddenly, a trending headline caught her eye. It was an article about her si

She... she had actually fallen asleep!“Are you awake? Would you like to rest a little longer?” Jackson’s voice sounded. Startled, Serenity looked up at him. “I... I fell asleep. Why didn’t you wake me up?” “You were sleeping soundly, so I thought I’d let you sleep a little longer,” he replied. “But I promised I’d go visit Yanny. I’ve overslept now...” As she spoke, Serenity picked up her phone and checked the time. Thankfully, it wasn’t 3 pm yet, but she couldn’t afford to wait around any longer before heading to the hospital. “You’ve got enough time for a trip to the hospital. I’ll come with you,” said Jackson as he put on his jacket. He then walked up to her side. Serenity nodded. She suddenly remembered that her hair was in a mess, so she reached up and pulled off the elastic hairband. She then grabbed a bunch of her hair and tied it up into a new ponytail. The whole process took only 5 or 6 seconds. Jackson was a little surprised by the speed of her movements. “Have y

“……” 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
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
