My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 465
No one answered him in the room.Jackson spun around and headed straight to his room instead. He then entered Serenity's room through the inner door that connected the two rooms.Serenity's room was dark, and the lights were off. Jackson glanced around in the semi-darkness, relying on the faint sunlight shining through the curtains. Although dim, it did not affect his vision.Jackson soon found Serenity in the corner of the room, sitting curled up. She had wrapped her arms around her knees and buried her face in it. She seemed like she was trying to curl into a ball.Jackson vaguely remembered seeing her hiding in a corner with a similar posture some time ago. At the thought of this, a sudden pain stabbed at him, just below his heart. The scenario from the video he had seen just moments before flashed across his mind.In the video, Serenity had gotten slapped in the face and then escorted out of the mall. The video had been recorded from a distance, too far away to hear the conver

"Don't worry. I've already had the video deleted. The video hasn't been on the internet for long. It won't resurface again," Jackson promised, his finger tracing the swollen bruise on her cheek.Serenity let out a whimper and drew in a sharp gasp.Jackson's face grew colder. "I'll get the doctor here.""It's fine. I'll get a cold compress to treat it later," Serenity refused."Don't make me worry. Let the doctor take a look at it," Jackson urged. "Alright, I’ve decided. Did the security guards at the mall hurt you? Are you hurt?""I'm fine. I didn't get hurt elsewhere," Serenity tried to play it down, not wanting Jackson to worry. "Oh, right. By the way, I-I'm visiting Granny tomorrow. I went out to get something for Granny, but I couldn't buy anything. Why don't you come shopping with me after dinner tonight?" Serenity deliberately changed the topic.Jackson gave her a deep look. A long moment later, he finally responded with a single syllable, "Sure."Just then, there was a kn

Quinton and Demetria Hall had completely lost the previous haughtiness they had displayed with Serenity when they acted as if they could easily step all over her.But now, it was their turn to be the worthless bugs!Jenny, being a professional actress, was now the one who could best conceal her real feelings among the three of them. She put on a guilty look and said, "Jackson, my parents bumped into Seren–Miss Lewis at the mall today, and they lost their temper and treated her a little too aggressively, so we came here to apologize to her and ask for her forgiveness in person."It was hard for Jenny to utter the words "Miss Lewis". After all, she had always despised that woman. Serenity was as worthless to her, yet she had to force herself to address this woman respectfully now. It felt as if her dignity was being trampled on!"Really?" asked Jackson calmly. His deep dark eyes were unfathomable. No one could tell what he was really feeling inside. "They lost their temper, huh? Why
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 468
Regardless, Quinton remained composed and hid his true feelings."That's unnecessary," Jackson said in a flat voice. "I don't think she has any desire to see you."Jenny and Demetria instantly sighed in relief. To them, not having to apologize to that woman in person would mean that they were spared a humiliating situation. After all, how could they accept being forced to apologize to a woman they regarded as nothing more than a dirty bug? Especially since she was a murderer in their eyes, and to Jenny, she was even once a love rival to her.However, Quinton did not seem to feel relieved at all. In fact, he frowned even more. An ominous premonition arose in his heart. He feared that this matter was not as simple as he thought. "In that case," said Quinton, "we won't be disturbing you anymore. It's time for us to leave."He then gave his wife a look to urge her that it was time to go. Only then did Demetria get up to get ready to leave, but they were soon interrupted by Jackson's

Demetria thought of how she had always been highly regarded in the elite circle. She had never been treated with such ridicule before."I won't let this slide," she declared. "I must teach that woman, Serenity Lewis, a lesson! She must've run to Jackson and whispered horrible things about me in his ear! He has never treated me this way before!"Demetria was determined to push all blame on Serenity."That's enough!" Quinton reminded her. "From now on, don't ever mess with Serenity Lewis again! Let it end here and now!"Demetria stared at her husband in disbelief."What?! But that woman is the murderer that killed our daughter!"A look of conflicted feelings flashed across Quinton's eyes. He turned away as if deliberately avoiding his wife's eye contact."If you don't want the whole Hall family to follow Mira into the grave, just do as I say!"Demetria seemed to have more to say, but Jenny pulled her aside and told her, "Just listen to Dad this time, Mom. At the very least, we sh

The more dependent on him she got, the more likely it was that it might slowly and gradually become a habit of hers to always rely on him...He leaned down and gently kissed her red and swollen face. The kiss was so soft and tender that it felt like a feather playfully tickling her face."Just rely on me, then," he murmured. "I want nothing more than for you to be dependent on me."How he wished that she would always depend on him so much that she could never leave him...About half an hour later, the Valor family doctor arrived at the Valor Residence. After examining the reddened bruises on Serenity's face, he prescribed some medicine to reduce the swelling.After the doctor had left, Serenity was just about to apply the medicine, but Jackson quickly snatched it before she could and said, "Let me help you.""Okay," she replied briefly.He then dipped his long fingers in the ointment and gently spread it on her face. His gentle touch was followed by the cool feeling left by the

"No... It’s nothing. I just realized that I haven't bought the things I wanted to bring with me when I visit Grandma tomorrow."In truth, she had already bought the pastries, but they had been thrown into the trash by the Hall family's people."Oh," he said, "I've bought it for you. It's on the coffee table."She turned to the coffee table in the room and saw a familiar shopping bag. Was that... The shopping bag from the pastry shop in the mall that she had gone to earlier that day? Could it be that he... had bought exactly the same things she had for her?"Are those the same things I bought today?""Yeah," he replied. "I also added some other items.""But how did you... uh, how did you know what I bought?"Even if he had seen her through the security cameras, at most, he could only have seen the shopping bag, right?"I just went through the transaction statements in the mall and figured out what you bought."Serenity finally understood. For other people, this was not such a d

But to her surprise, what she saw next was Jackson ordering his driver to bring over his own car which was worth less than fifty thousand dollars. This startled Serenity."Didn't you say you wanted a humble car?" Jackson asked."Well, yeah... I just wanted a more humble car so that it won't attract too much attention when we get there. It's a really small town, and I don't want anyone to spread any rumors. I'm worried that Grandma will get worried when she hears it. But are you seriously going to drive this car there?""Why not?" Jackson smiled. "Come on, hop in."It was only when she got into the car that Serenity realized the driver had been ordered to get out because Jackson was going to be driving it himself."You're driving?" she asked."Uh-huh," he replied, speaking as he started the engine. "It's not that far, anyway. If you're feeling sleepy, go ahead and take a nap. I know the way."She pursed her lips without realizing it as she watched him drive. It would take more th

“……” 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

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
