My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 494
"..." 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

She froze in surprise, then said, "It's different."One was the man she loved and the other was her best friend. They were two completely different kinds of feelings!"But..." She thought for a moment and said, "Both of you are people that I would protect with my life! So you're both important to me."His eyes flickered slightly. He should be content. She said she's willing to protect him with her life!But... why couldn't it be just him?He was simply too greedy. He wanted to be her one and only and did not want anyone else to be that important to her."Just because she helped you in the past?" he asked."Yeah, I guess. Before that, I didn't know that she could sacrifice so much for a friend," Serenity said emotionally. Although they were close back then, it was hard to tell a person's true nature without experiencing hard times.Only after going through hard times could you get a better read of the people around you. You would know that some people deserved your sincerity."

She told him about getting harassed by her male co-workers, being misunderstood, getting into a fight, being brought to the police station, and being bailed out. She told him everything in detail. She spoke so much that she was starting to get a bit thirsty.Terry listened with a frown. It was hard to tell what he was thinking from his expression.He waited until Lisa finished before he said, "Why didn't you call me?""I... I didn't want to bother you. I thought you must be busy with work. It's not a big deal anyway," Lisa lied.Terry stared fixedly at Lisa. It made her feel guilty."Is it really because you didn't want to bother me?" After a while, he broke the silence.She said sheepishly, "Of course."He pursed his lips and said no more. They went back to staring at each other. Lisa was getting anxious. She wondered how long he was going to stare at her for.Shouldn't he be happy that she didn't call him and disturb him for every little problem she had? Why was he looking at

She could find no retort.-In the end, Lisa brought Terry home with her.When they arrived home, Lisa's parents welcomed Terry enthusiastically. They even asked him to stay for dinner.Terry naturally agreed, much to Lisa's horror. She was worried that he might blurt out her secret if he stayed for too long.Lisa dragged Terry into her room almost immediately after the meal. "When are you going to leave?""Why are you so eager for me to leave?" he asked with raised eyebrows.She laughed dryly. "I'm worried that my parents' enthusiasm might annoy you. As you know, they really think that you're my boyfriend, so they must be asking you all kinds of questions.""They're not annoying. Chatting with them is quite interesting," said Terry. He could learn new things about her like her childhood experiences by chatting with her parents. They would often mention things like that in passing."Also, from now on, no matter what problem you run into, remember to call me. You're not allowed

"Well... it's not like I could make a public announcement that I found a boyfriend," If she did, her co-workers would think that she's crazy."Is that so? Okay, I understand," he said.She blinked in confusion. What did he understand? Why did she have a feeling that she did not understand?-The next day, everyone in Lisa's workplace was talking about yesterday's incident. The way Lisa's co-workers looked at her had changed.Some of her coworkers were even making snide remarks at her, "Why do you have to barge into the relationship between Jessica and Gavin, Lisa?""Yeah! Even if you want to be a homewrecker, you shouldn't do it in our institute!"Lisa scoffed. She did not back down at all. "What do you mean I'm a homewrecker? If you have no idea what's going on then stop spouting nonsense! There's no way I would fall for a man like Gavin Stanton. If I do, I'll gouge out my own eyes!""You're just talking big. Gavin graduated from a good university. He'll be transferred to the

Lisa was about to hurl more insults at Jessica when her eyes caught sight of the entrance. The director of their institute was currently walking through the entrance, but what caught her attention was not the director but the person beside him. That person was... Terry?!Lisa blinked a few times in disbelief. She confirmed that she was not seeing things. It really was Terry.Terry had obviously seen her but he did not say hi to her. He merely gave her a little smile and kept talking to the director.From what Lisa could see, the director was talking to Terry in a very respectful manner. The director asked his secretary to make some tea and bring it to his office.Lisa could understand why he was being so respectful. Their design institute was not that famous in Solaria. The main institute was at least somewhat well-known, but the second institute was often viewed as just a stepping stone to get into the main institute.Meanwhile, Terry White was the person in charge of the White M

Lisa stole a glance at Terry. He was well dressed and looked like a gentleman. He was indeed good looking! No wonder she would do that kind of thing to him when she got drunk in the past.Speaking of which, he had a really nice figure too. He might look slightly thin, but he was actually lean and muscular... Although Lisa was looking at Terry, she was actually thinking about the body that she had once seen...She suddenly blushed and immediately lowered her head. She told herself to stop thinking about those things.Terry looked towards Lisa. He saw that she was sitting in a corner with her head bowed. He had no idea what she was thinking about.The sight of Lisa put a smile on Terry's face.The director of the second institute asked Terry, "Shall we begin, Mr. White?""Sure," Terry replied with a faint smile.Thus, the director started the meeting. First, he introduced Terry, then he introduced some of their institute's past projects.He did not forget to point out Jessica to

Everyone at the design firm thought it was true. After all, Shen Ziyu was quite a catch while Qin Lianyi was just a nobody at the design firm. She came from an ordinary family background and had ordinary looks as well. It was quite normal for her to be interested in a man like Shen Ziyu.After what happened yesterday, many colleagues were on Zhou Jiewen's side.Many felt that even though Zhou Jiewen and Shen Ziyu were keeping their relationship low-key without anyone knowing, Qin Lianyi should not try to steal him away.However, who would have thought Qin Lianyi's boyfriend would be Bai Tingxin, the president of Bai Feng Group!If they compared Bai Tingxin and Shen Ziyu, were the results not obvious? Bai Tingxin won in every way!If Qin Lianyi had a boyfriend like Bai Tingxin and still seduced Shen Ziyu... That was impossible, no?Immediately, many colleagues who had been partial to Zhou Jiewen and Shen Ziyu changed the way they looked at them and began to wonder if things were n

“……” 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
