My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 46
Even though her face remained the same, it felt more weathered. She was also wearing a fluorescent work uniform instead of branded clothes.Zeke stared at her in a daze. The scene of her desperately crawling to him and begging him to believe her once again surfaced in his mind.At that time, she had looked at him with eyes that were eager, hopeful, and pleading... but now, her eyes were like a calm lake that had no ripples.Jenny saw her boyfriend's reaction from the corner of the eye. She handed the gift box to Serenity with a warm smile and said, "This is for you. I'm sorry for what happened that day. Thank you for helping me look for the ring." She was so different from the demon in the prison!Serenity took the box from her in silence. Without saying anything, she turned around and walked away.Back in the office, Serenity gave Xyla her gift box. "Xyla, you can have this.""Huh? You don't want such a good jacket?" Xyla was surprised."I have enough clothes," replied Serenity

Serenity grinned as if she found that amusing. She simply walked away.Zeke felt like his kindness was wasted on her. A surge of anger rose inside him, "What's the meaning of that, Serenity? I'm taking a great risk trying to help you here!”"No one asked you to take that risk," Serenity said indifferently, "Besides, aren't you afraid that your dear Miss Hall will find out about this?"Just then, a voice suddenly came from around the corner, "Find out about what?"Zeke's body stiffened. His hand that was tugging at Serenity's arm let go almost instantly. He turned around and saw Jenny walking over. He said, "Nothing."Jenny held Zeke's arm with a smile. "Zeke, why are you talking to this sort of person? What if Jackson Valor finds out? You know my sister is the only woman Jackson Valor is willing to marry. Even though she's passed away for three years, he has dated no one else..."She did not finish her sentence, but her meaning was obvious.Zeke's expression turned unsightly. He

"The higher-ups have given the order. Anything involving Serenity Lewis can't be published," said the editor-in-chief.Sam was astonished. "Is it because of pressure from the Shaw family?” No, that didn't make sense. When Jenny had that incident at the Sanitation Office, he wrote a report about Jenny and there was no problem at all. How come they could not write about Serenity Lewis?"No, not the Shaw family. All right, enough questions. The bottom line is, if this story gets out, not only will you have to quit being a reporter, I might have to quit too,” said the editor-in-chief.Sam stared at him in disbelief. What the editor-in-chief said... was too shocking."Serenity Lewis... She's just a sanitation worker. Who would be so protective of her?""You're too green. In this world, there are always things that are beyond your imagination," the editor-in-chief said with a sigh. In truth, he himself did not expect that it was Jackson Valor who wanted to protect Serenity Lewis. It was

However, the pair of eyes under the fringe were unusually direct, as if to him, it was just an innocent question.'Hmm... Jack looks naive. He probably didn't mean anything by that,' thought Serenity.She cleared her throat and said, "I can like you, but it's not love. They're two different kinds of feelings. In my opinion, love is eternal, irreplaceable, and you would even be willing to... live and die together."His dark eyes abruptly narrowed. Live and die together? Strangely enough, when he heard her say that, the first thought that came to his mind was... Living and dying together with her did not sound so bad.Did that mean he was in love with her?How could that be? He almost laughed out loud at the thought.He admitted that he had a fondness for her and felt attached to her. He cared about her and seemed to have unknowingly gotten addicted to the feeling of staying by her side. Otherwise, he would not have played this game for so long.But falling in love with her... he

But at that moment, Quinn Fender walked over. She looked at Serenity with disdain and said, "Xyla, why are you talking to her? She's an ex-convict! She killed someone!""Quinn, why do you have to say that? We're all co-workers. Besides, she only went to jail because she got careless when she drove..."Before Xyla could finish speaking, Quinn already interrupted her, "But the person she killed was Mira Hall! Xyla, do you know who Mira Hall is? She's Jenny Hall's sister! No wonder Jenny Hall asked us to look for a ring that doesn't exist. She was targeting Serenity all along and we just got dragged into it.""But didn't we all get an apology gift as compensation?" said Xyla.Quinn was obviously unhappy to see Xyla speak up for Serenity. She was the one who broke the news that Serenity had been in prison before.She overheard the conversation between Serenity, Zeke Shaw and Jenny Hall by accident, so she spent some time looking up various news articles about Zeke Shaw and Jenny Hall
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 51
That night, Serenity was back at her place having dinner with Jackson when someone knocked on her door.She was mildly taken aback since no one had ever come to her place and knocked on her door before. Could it be her father, stepmother, and sister coming to cause trouble again?!But when she opened the door, she was surprised to find that the person standing outside was Peter Wall. He was wearing a black padded jacket, and his face was slightly flushed red. He looked at Serenity while seeming a little embarrassed as he told her, "I..."Just as he opened his mouth to speak, he noticed Jackson walking up behind Serenity, and this made him stop speaking abruptly as if he was hesitant to speak.Jackson stared straight at the man standing outside the door. He remembered the man to be one of Serenity's colleagues at the Sanitation Office and that he seemed to be interested in Serenity."What are you doing here?" he asked Peter. "Do you need my sister for something?""I..." Peter repl

"Are you falling in love with him because of what he just told you, Sis?"Jackson asked the question in a soft voice, but there was a flash of jealousy in his eyes that even he himself did not realize.His breath brushed against the tip of her nose, and such close distance disconcerted her. A sense of danger washed over her. It felt like if she failed to give him the right answer, she would instantly be bitten in the neck by a savage beast.Good lord, what was she thinking?!Serenity silently scoffed at the thought that had just crossed her mind. She reminded herself that the man in front of her was Jack, not anyone dangerous at all."I don't have any feelings for Peter," she told him. She knew that she could never reciprocate Peter's feelings. She could only apologize to him.Her short response cheered Jackson up instantly. He looked at her and asked, "Are you sure you haven't fallen in love with that guy?""Why would I lie to you about it?" she responded. Ever since she was re

In fact, at first, it was almost impossible for her to find any job that would enable her to stand on her own two feet at all."But you still shouldn't waste your time staying in this kind of job," said Xyla. "If you go on like this, you'll never find a nice man to marry!"For a woman like Xyla, what concerned her the most was marriage and how to find a suitable match."It looks like Peter doesn't mind your past," she continued, "so are you really not going to consider him? You can't find many honest and decent men like him these days, you know.""No," replied Serenity. "I can't possibly be in a relationship with Peter."Xyla paused for a moment before exclaiming, "Serenity! You aren't rejecting him because he's just a driver, are you? Granted, he's not a rich man, especially when compared to your ex-boyfriend, but...""Xyla!" Serenity interrupted her. "That's not what I thought at all! I just... I've been through so much, and I really have no desire to fall in love with anyone e

“……” 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
