My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 443
"There's a second hand vendor down the road. I'll sell the bedding and the pots and pans to him for some money. I can still wear these clothes and shoes, so I'll bring them back with me."Jackson checked out the clothes and shoes that Serenity wanted to bring back. Although some of the clothes looked like they were still in good condition, they were all obviously pretty old and were already out of style. Their colors have also faded due to age.She probably already had them before she went to prison.However, he did not say anything. Even though he really wanted to spend money on her and replace all these things into newer and better ones, it had to be done gradually, one step at a time.He was afraid that he would scare her off if he was too hasty. After all, it took him a lot of effort to make her lower her guard around him just a little."Why don't you wait here for a bit. I'll be back in a while," said Serenity. She moved to pick up the pots and pans and bedding, intending to

Jackson suddenly stopped in his tracks and stared fixedly at her."What's wrong?" she asked, puzzled."What if I say I would?" he asked.She was stunned, her smile slowly disappearing from her face. She pursed her lips in apprehension and told him very seriously, "Jack, I hate it when people lie to me. I've always felt that sincerity and honesty are the bare requirements to maintain a long-lasting relationship between two people."He kept quiet and continued to stare at her."Would you lie to me?" she asked. She was actually becoming really apprehensive. She was afraid that he would actually say "yes", afraid that they would not see eye to eye on this matter.If they could not even agree on something like this, how could their relationship last?He clenched his hands almost imperceptibly, then slowly said, "No."When she heard that, she felt like a heavy stone was lifted from her heart. She heaved a sigh of relief.Thank goodness he wouldn't lie to her."Were you afraid that

He slowly loosened up, but still held her in his arms. "Sis, never say you would break up with me again, okay?"He lowered his head. To her surprise, she saw that his dark eyes were filled with panic. It was an emotion that she had never seen in his eyes before.It was as if hearing her say that she wanted to break up with him was something that would overwhelm him with panic.Was she really... that important to him? So important that... he could not even bear to hear the hypothetical scenario of her breaking up with him?Serenity's chest felt stuffy. Her heart went out to him. Almost instinctively, she raised her hands and hugged him back, gently."Okay, I'll never say I'd break up with you again." And just like that, she made an "eternal" promise to him.At that moment, she didn't stop to think what kind of price lay behind a promise like that. All she wanted at the time was for him to stop looking so sad.Because... it made her feel sad too.That afternoon, Serenity and Jac

His question stunned her. A blush appeared on her face as she stammered, "I... I..."Serenity didn't know how to answer. Both "yes" and "no" sounded wrong!"Don't you dare say no!" Jackson wrapped his arms around Serenity's waist possessively and told her, "If I'm going to have children, I'll only have children with you... So if you really want to be a mother, you can only be the mother of my children."Serenity blushed even harder. "We're at the hospital." There were people walking by around them. Some of the passers-by were already looking over when they saw him hug her."So?" His lips moved close to her ear. She could feel his breath on her ear and neck as he said, "Sis, do you understand what I just said?"A shiver ran down her spine. His voice and his breath were so enchanting. She could not stop herself from nodding in response.Even after getting into the car, Serenity's face remained red.She stole glances at Jackson, who was driving next to her.From her angle, she cou

"Okay," answered Serenity.After Serenity put her phone away, Jackson asked, "Was it Lisa?""Yeah.""Did she ask Terry White to help you look into your case?" he inquired further."Not exactly," answered Serenity, "She only asked Terry White to help me investigate one of the witnesses who's in San Marco right now. She said the witness is currently detained by the police, so there might be a way to get some information out of him. We're planning to go to San Marco tomorrow."Although Lisa didn't go into detail, Serenity knew some of the tricks of the trade since she used to be a lawyer.How could it be that easy to get words out of someone in custody? There's no way Lisa was capable of doing that. It must be Terry White at work again.The problem was, Lisa now owed Terry White another favor even though this was Serenity's problem.How much had Lisa sacrificed for her by now? Would she ever be able to pay Lisa back? Serenity thought about it with a heavy heart. She did not notice

"You think I should let her know the truth?" Jackson asked with cold eyes.The look in Jackson's eyes made Connor shiver. He realized that he had accidentally mentioned a taboo subject.Serenity Lewis' case was something that Mr. Valor did not want anyone to inquire about.All Connor had to do was obediently follow Mr. Valor's orders."I'll leave for San Marco right away," said Connor. He then left the study.The moment he came out of the study, he ran into Serenity."Are you looking for Mr. Valor, Miss Lewis?" Connor asked respectfully. He knew that, barring any accident, the woman before him would be the future Mrs. Valor.Although Mr. Valor only treated her as a game in the beginning, their relationship had turned serious now.Furthermore, Connor had never seen Mr. Valor take a woman so seriously before. He did not even take Mira Hall, who was only one step away from becoming Mrs. Valor, this seriously.But Serenity Lewis actually managed to do it. Who in Solaria could have

"Nothing. I just want to hold you like this for a while," he said softly as he buried his face deep in the nape of her neck and took in her scent.It looked as if simply holding her like this gave him a lot of satisfaction.Serenity felt like there's a hint of childishness to Jackson's behavior for some reason, as if he's a child who's clinging to a precious toy and refusing to let go.And she was that toy.Serenity raised her hand and gently hugged Jackson back.The moment her hand touched him, she felt his body tremble slightly. A few moments later, he murmured in her ear, "Sis, I like it when you hug me like this. Will you hug me for a while longer?"His soft voice was coquettish, making it impossible for her to refuse."Okay," she answered. She kept hugging him, letting time tick away quietly...The next morning, Lisa arrived at the Valor Residence right on time. However, she did not come alone. Terry White was with her. In fact, Terry was the one who drove the car.Howev
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 450
When Terry told Lisa what he did, Lisa praised him profusely. Of course, she had to let Terry touch her afterwards.However, she did not mind being touched by Terry. In fact, she, uhh... kinda liked it.Lisa did some self-reflecting afterwards as to why that was the case. In the end, she came to the conclusion that it was because he was handsome.After all, his face was very much to her liking. She had always been easily attracted to handsome faces. It was hard not to fall for his looks.It's not her fault that humans were inherently visual-sensory animals.Outside the car, the two men were still staring at each other. The atmosphere outside the car was not as cordial as the atmosphere inside the car."I didn't expect you to go with us today, Mr. Valor," Terry broke the silence."Serenity is my girlfriend. Of course I have to go," Jackson replied flatly."Is that so?" Terry said, "If I remember correctly, the victim who died in Serenity Lewis' case was your fiancée, Mira Hall,

“……” 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
