When she thought of what happened last night, Serenity's face started to burn again.

She was already awake, but she had not opened her eyes yet. She was afraid that it would be awkward if she opened her eyes and saw Jackson looking at her.

What should she say to make it less awkward?

Serenity started to ponder.

But before she could think of anything, she heard him ask, "Are you awake? Why won't you open your eyes if you're awake? Are you afraid to look at me?"

Serenity winced. She opened her eyes and saw an unusually handsome face – Jackson's face!

He was currently propping himself up on the edge of the bed with one hand and bending forward. His face was very close to hers. She could feel his warm breath on her face.

At such close proximity, she could count how many eyelashes he had.

His long, dark eyelashes would make women jealous. Coupled with those beautiful eyes of his...

When her eyes met his, she could not help thinking about last night, when those eyes of his were fil

    By the time she was done brushing her teeth and washing her face, Serenity's face had become as red as a tomato.When she grabbed the comb to comb her hair, he abruptly took the comb from her and said, "I'll comb your hair for you."She was stunned. "But...""Don't worry, I won't make your hair look bad," he said with a smile. He then started to gently comb her hair.His actions were very gentle, as if he was taking care of his most beloved treasure.In this world, how many people would he treat so gently?Through the mirror before her, Serenity stared at Jackson in bewilderment.Her face was still red hot, but her eyes were brimming with happiness and also a little bit of shyness. He had a smile on his face, as well as a gentle expression that would make countless women swoon.He gathered her hair in his slender fingers and combed it a little bit at a time until it was all bunched up in his palm, after which he tied it up with a hair tie."Should I comb your hair regularly fr

    "Do you really expect them to help us? How?" asked Quinton. "Would the Shaw family become enemies with Jackson Valor? Do you want the Shaw family to inject hundreds of millions of dollars into our family business to raise the stock price back up?"Demetria instantly shut her mouth. She was not completely clueless about business. After hearing what her husband said, she understood that it was impossible to get help from the Shaw family.Leaving aside the question of whether the Shaw family had hundreds of millions of dollars in liquidity, she knew there was no way the Shaw family would become enemies with Jackson Valor for them."Then... what should we do?" Demetria asked anxiously, "What is wrong with Jackson Valor? How can he let himself be seduced by a woman like Serenity Lewis? Did she put a spell on him or something? She's just a woman Zeke cast away!"Quinton said a little impatiently, "That's enough. You can say that to me, but don't let anyone else hear you say that or we'll

    Serenity went to the hospital to visit Yanny again. Unlike the previous time, Yanny was awake this time. He was playing with Clara in the hospital ward. Clara was pointing at various things and telling Yanny they were called.Yanny was listening attentively. He was actually "listening". He would point his finger at something that Clara had pointed at, and Clara would say the object's name again.Serenity shouted, "Yanny."The little boy instantly turned back to look in Serenity's direction.He had never done something like that before. It was evident that Yanny could actually hear her voice now! Serenity felt happy for him.Being able to hear meant that he would be able to learn to speak as well. As long as he wore his cochlear implant, he would be able to communicate like most people.Getting a cochlear implant at three years old was actually a little late. Doctors usually recommended getting one as early as possible. Fortunately, it was not too late. Most children at Yanny's ag

    "But from what I can see, Mr. Valor is treating you very well. I'm glad you found happiness, Serenity," said Clara.Found happiness? Maybe. Things were getting better and better between her and Jack. She felt like they had regained the warmth that they had back in the rental house.No, there was something different about their relationship now. Back then, she treated him as a younger brother, as family, but now, she treated him as a lover, as someone who would potentially spend the rest of her life with her."I'm glad you found happiness too, Clara. Yanny can hear and speak now. In the future, he'll be able to read and make friends normally like other children," said Serenity."Yeah, Yanny is my everything. I don't care how hard my life is as long as he can be happy," said Clara. She then smiled at Serenity and said, "You're not a mother yet, so you might not understand. When you become a mother, you'll know that a mother will sacrifice anything for her child!"Become a mother...?

    "Who's that? Your goon?" The woman mocked as soon as she saw Serenity.Serenity frowned and turned to her best friend. "Lisa, what's going on?""Ignore her," said Lisa.The young woman instantly lashed out like a powder keg that was ignited, "What? You shameless b*tch! How dare you seduce my boyfriend! I bet if I hadn't caught you in the act, you would have stripped naked and jumped into his bed!"Lisa glared at her angrily, "Seduce your boyfriend? I wouldn't even look at a guy like him twice. Do you have tofu for a brain? Maybe the problem lies with your boyfriend and not with other people!""I saw it with my own eyes! How dare you deny it!" said the woman."What the hell did you even see?!" Lisa retorted indignantly. She pointed her finger at the cowering man. "I'm telling you, even if you gift-wrapped a man like that and delivered him to my bed, I still wouldn't want him. Besides, I have a boyfriend, and my boyfriend is much better than him. Why would I want him? Is he made of

    While Serenity was going through the bail procedures for Lisa, Jackson called her. "You're at the police station?""Huh?" Serenity was surprised, but she soon figured out that the driver must have told him."Yeah, I am," she said, "Lisa ran into some trouble. I came here to bail her out.""She asked you to bail her out?" Jackson seemed to find it a bit funny, "Why didn't she ask Terry White? Isn't Terry White her boyfriend?""..." It was too complicated to explain. Besides, it concerned Lisa's privacy, so Serenity simply said, "She must have her reasons. I'm actually in the middle of handling the bail procedures, so I'll talk to you later!"Serenity ended the call and went back to the bail procedures.Jessica was still yelling at Lisa. She still believed that Lisa had seduced her boyfriend.Lisa was so mad that she cursed her out! Her boyfriend was Terry White, for goodness' sake! Even if he was only a temporary boyfriend, he still let her have her way with him! Why would she se

    Gavin cowered and nodded, "Y-Yeah, Lisa... Lisa seduced me!"Lisa felt the urge to give him a big fat slap on the face!Serenity was worried that she would, so she quickly held her friend back and said, "I will hold you legally responsible for your words. If you're lying, that means you're slandering her. Should we go back inside to file a case?"Gavin shuddered and instantly shut his mouth.Meanwhile, Jessica was still yelling. Jackson gave her a nonchalant glance and said, "What a conceited woman. As if I don't know what kind of person my girlfriend is. Who are you to talk about her like that? Get out of my sight."Jessica's face twisted in rage. His words were like a huge slap to her face."I... I'm just reminding you not to get tricked," she argued.But Jackson could not be bothered listening to her. He instead turned to Lisa and said, "You had to come to the police station because of a person like that? I guess Terry White must not know about this. If he did, she wouldn't b

    "..." Lisa had a helpless look on her face. She wished she could hide the fact that Terry White and her were dating so that her life would not be impacted too much when they eventually broke up.She did not even want to tell her parents about it if they had not found out by accident!"I... Ah, he's at work, so I don't want to bother him," Lisa could only give a random excuse."But you're okay with bothering Serenity?" asked Jackson.Lisa did not know what to say. Serenity quickly said, "I don't mind her bothering me." She then told Lisa, "If anything happens again, you have to come to me. You're my best friend."Lisa felt a warmth in her heart. She gave Serenity an affirmative answer while stealing a glance at Jackson Valor through the rearview mirror. Just now, he sounded like... he was jealous. She felt like she had become the object of envy for no apparent reason.But the problem was... was Jackson Valor really jealous of her? Because of Serenity? The thought made Lisa shudder

    “……” 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

    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
