My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 425
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

Back then, she would follow Wilson around at the beginning of their relationship. However, his family had little to no business dealings with the Valors, so she had never seen Jackson before. This was why she was surprised to bump into him two days in a row. What’s more, Serenity would be there whenever they met.Clara remembered Jackson’s warning from before. Her gaze was filled with mixed emotions as she looked at Serenity. To be loved by such a man, Clara wondered if it was a blessing or a curse. In any case, she just wanted Serenity to be happy. “Ah, I forgot to buy something. Yanny told me he wanted to try pomegranates while he was in the hospital,” Serenity said as she hastily grabbed her purse.Of course, Yanny hadn’t literally told her about it. Instead, he had conveyed his wish through sign language. “Oh, you don’t have to do that! You’ve bought him toys, and that’s enough. I’ll get him the pomegranates,” said Clara hastily. “It’s fine, it won’t take too long. Ther
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 429
To be honest... she had a feeling that Serenity was the person behind all this. Did she ask for Jackson’s help? Was that why they were so lucky?!Clara’s thoughts were interrupted when Serenity returned to the ward with a bag of pomegranates. “If the doctor’s okay with this, let Yanny have them when he wakes up,” she said with a beaming smile. “Thank you, Serenity,” said Clara as tears began welling up in her eyes.“Come on, it’s only a bag of fruits,” said Serenity, who assumed she was tearing up because she was worried about Yanny’s condition. “His operation was completed successfully, and now, it’s just a matter of him getting used to the cochlear implant. He’s no longer under any risk, so you don’t have to worry that much. I’m sure he’ll recover soon.” “Yeah, I hope so too,” replied Clara with a nod. Back then, she used to think of herself as Serenity’s benefactor. She had been willing to offer her a job when the latter was struggling. Oh, how the tables had turned!If it

“Are you sure you want to come here?” asked Serenity in disbelief.“Is there anything wrong with this place?” Jackson replied with another question. “Didn’t you bring me to a night market before? I think they’re pretty similar.” “But that was when I had no idea who you were.” Honestly, had she known Jackson’s true identity, she never would have brought him clothes shopping at the night market. “Why does that matter? Whether in the past or in the future, I’ll always be your Jack,” he said with a serious look on his face. Ugh... those eyes were the ultimate killer move for her! “Fine... if you say so.” Serenity pursed her lips and walked along the stalls with Jackson. Back in college, she would always hang out with her classmates at the market. After she had started working, she naturally came here less often. When she was released from prison, she struggled to feed and clothe herself, so shopping here was out of the question. It was around sunset when they came to the nig

Serenity held her breath when she saw his expression. Wait a minute... Was he... Angry? “You said you wanted to support yourself, that you’d rather continue delivering food for that restaurant than relying on me. I’ll accept that.” Jackson took a deep breath before he continued, “However, isn’t it quite normal for a man to buy little gifts for his girlfriend? Are you treating me as a boyfriend at all?” Serenity bit her lip nervously. At that moment, she was lost for words.“I understand that you don’t wish to rely on me, but that doesn’t mean you have to reject everything I give you,” said Jackson. He wanted her to live a good life and to stop being such a penny-pincher. Of course, he understood that she had developed this personality due to her experience. He knew that it would take time for her to change. But... the frustration that he so desperately tried to suppress still made its way out. However, the frustration was directed more at himself than her. If only he had

After saying that, Jackson turned to the shopkeeper and told her, “Wrap these up for me.” The shopkeeper was overjoyed. She swiftly wrapped up the items and handed over a purchase receipt. Jackson paid the bill and picked up the shopping bag filled with new accessories. Serenity did not object to his decision as she understood that this was his way of expressing his love for her. Further refusals would only make him feel uncomfortable.“Let’s go buy you some more clothes and shoes,” suggested Jackson, who had suddenly turned into a shopaholic. “Umm, but I already have everything I need,” replied Serenity. “But I want to see you dressed up properly. Isn’t there a popular saying among women that a man makes money so his woman can spend it? Don’t forget about the clothes you bought for me back then. I didn’t turn them away, did I?” Now that he put things that way, how could she refute his words?Worried that he would buy her a bunch of expensive luxury brands, she said, “The

“……” 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
