My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 432
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

At the very next moment, Jackson reached over and grabbed her wrist. Serenity looked back at him in surprise. “What’s the matter?” He pursed his thin lips, and his gaze gradually cleared up. Wearing a slight smile, he replied, “It’s nothing. Go get changed.” After he had let go of her hand, Serenity went into the changing room. It was only when she shut the door that Jackson closed his eyes. ***Not yet. He had spent so much effort just for her to grow close to him. She would be frightened if he moved too quickly. Serenity was like a timid little animal. She was as cautious as she was timid. Every step she took was filled with trepidation. Jackson, on the other hand, had to be extremely patient in order to slowly break down the wariness of her heart. For her to learn to rely on him, he had to take it slow.Only then would she truly fall in love with him. Only then would she be unable to leave his side!And so, patience was key...But he wanted her love so badly!Serenity

What Flora expected did not happen. Instead of lashing out at her, Serenity merely glanced at her calmly. On the other hand, the man she had set her eyes on simply told her, “Go away.” Flora’s eyes widened with surprise. This was the first time in her life that someone had told her off so rudely. “You...” Her face was flushed red. Without waiting for her response, Jackson pulled Serenity into the elevator. Flora saw what was happening and was about to enter the elevator with them. However, when she was met with an ice-cold glare from Jackson, her body froze up instantly. After the doors rolled shut, Candice, who was standing next to her, grumbled, “What a tasteless man! Doesn’t he know how to speak properly to a lady?!” Flora gritted her teeth angrily. After all, she had never been humiliated like this before. People would suck up to her most of the time, so how could she possibly accept being treated like this?!She looked at the elevator display and saw that it had stopp

“Cough!” Serenity almost choked on her saliva. Was he really talking to the head of the Transportation Department?! Only a handful of people in Solaria were capable of pulling off such a stunt.Jackson drove past the intersection when the traffic light turned green again. Serenity glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed the car that he had mentioned earlier. Sure enough, although there were a few cars between them, it would remain behind them. Before long, she noticed a patrol car catching up to them, and it eventually forced the vehicle behind to the side of the road. She watched as two policemen exited their vehicle, and... they soon disappeared from the rearview mirror. That patrol car had probably been dispatched by the Transportation Department. While shocked, Serenity also gained a better understanding of Jackson’s influence in the city.Under the intense stares of the policemen, Flora had to produce her ID card and driver’s license. As she did so, she silently lamented

Leaving aside his social status, which was a major plus point, his appearance alone was enough for most girls to fall head over heels for him. To Serenity’s surprise, a dejected expression appeared on Jackson’s face when he heard her response. “Don’t you feel the least bit jealous?” “Jealous?” Serenity was stunned.Jackson stared at her with his penetrating gaze. A while later, he sighed softly as if he had accepted the truth. “You really are a heartless woman. I would’ve felt happier if you had said you felt jealous.” Serenity bit her lip as she pondered in silence. Was she jealous? She recalled Flora confidently running up to Jackson and the disdainful look that she had received. Was she jealous of that? She had no idea. At that moment, jealousy had not crossed her mind at all. Instead, she already knew that Jackson would never accept that girl’s approach. Was it because she believed that Jackson was truly hers? Since when had she developed such a level of trust in him?

Before she went to prison, all the clothes in her closet were either formal clothes for work or the type of clothes that Zeke Shaw liked. She barely had any clothes that she herself liked.It was as if she was trying so hard to please other people that she forgot to please herself."I wish I got to know you sooner," Jackson suddenly muttered.If he had known her sooner, they might have started off on the right foot and she wouldn't have to go to prison for three years. He also wouldn't have to feel apprehensive of her finding out about certain things.Serenity felt like Jackson's eyes currently contained a lot of emotions that she could not decipher."Alright, let's go," he said and helped her down the stairs. She skipped breakfast today because she had to go to the hospital on an empty stomach for the medical checkup.Jackson led Serenity to the car. In the car, he watched her tie her hair with the scrunchie he bought yesterday. It was just a simple black scrunchie, but unlike t

When they arrived, the hospital staff was already waiting for them. All Serenity had to do was follow the nurse.And so, the nurse guided Serenity through the whole process of drawing blood, getting X-ray, getting ultrasound, and so on. Jackson waited for Serenity in the VIP lounge of the Health Screening Center.As the nurse led Serenity to various departments to perform tests, Serenity saw long queues at the entrances of several of the departments.According to the nurse, some companies were also conducting their medical checkups there, so it was a very busy day.Serenity followed the nurse to the ultrasound department. There were long queues outside several of the ultrasound rooms. The nurse led Serenity towards a room with no queue."Serenity!" Suddenly, a voice called out.Serenity turned around and saw Liliana Granger. She was queuing in one of the lines.Serenity was surprised to see Liliana. Was she there for a medical checkup too? Then... Serenity looked at the people a

Liliana was always overshadowed by Serenity when Serenity worked at the law firm. Serenity shone so brightly that it made Liliana feel invisible.Now, Liliana would make sure everybody in the law firm get a good look at Serenity. She wanted them to see what the so-called pride of the female lawyers from back then looked like now!She wanted to let the people in the law firm know how wrong they were!That was the only way her anger could be quelled.Just then, a nurse passed by, and the co-worker who was talking to Liliana asked the nurse, "Excuse me, a staff member told us earlier that ultrasound room is not open for medical checkups, but a nurse clearly led someone who's here for a medical checkup to that room. What's going on?""Oh, that person must have booked our hospital's VIP medical checkup package," answered the nurse."VIP medical checkup package?" The co-worker looked stunned. She asked, "How much does that cost?""It depends on the package, but even the cheaper ones c

“……” 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
