Who would have thought?

The determination he was holding on to crumbled within seconds.

Zeke had panicked when the accident had happened. Then, his parents had ordered him to dissociate himself from Serenity, and he had done so immediately without even struggling.

Zeke had reached a sudden realization at that moment. He had thought he loved her, but his future meant more to him. He was unwilling to sacrifice his future for Serenity.

The premise of his love was his status as the son and heir of the Shaw family. Without this identity, his so-called love for Serenity meant nothing to him.

Zeke had occasionally felt guilty over the years, but he would tell himself that it was all Serenity's fault whenever he did. Serenity had driven drunk and hit Mira Hall, killing her. Their relationship would not have ended if not for the accident. She was to blame for everything. He felt better when he thought like this.

Zeke had thought that he would never cross paths with Serenity again. He tho

    It was like this back then, and it remained the same even now.So what if Jackson treated Serenity as his most precious person? Jenny was sure that Serenity would eventually leave Jackson. After all, there were things that would destroy everything Serenity knew.***Serenity was no stranger to participating in functions. Back then, she had accompanied Zeke to various events. However... The current Serenity was a little different than who she had been back then.Serenity had spent three years in prison, and her skin lacked maintenance. It seemed duller than before. Her hands were also calloused, and her hair rougher than it had been back then.As if to erase her worries, a special team of stylists came to the Valor Residence in the afternoon, giving Serenity a special makeover. The light purple evening dress looked classy and elegant, and the crystals on the dress made it look dazzling. The dress must be worth a fortune.The stylist told Serenity, "Mr. Valor specially prepared t

    "I like it," Serenity answered in a low murmur. Women would always like pretty things. How could she not like a gorgeous dress like this? But... "This dress wasn't cheap, was it? I feel like it would be a waste if I only wore it once." She meant to say that she would have chosen a cheaper dress.Jackson, however, replied after hearing her comment, "If that's the case, accompany me to a few more functions. Don't worry. It won't be a waste."Serenity choked, feeling lost for words.Jackson held Serenity's hand. "Alright. Let's go."The warmth of his hand began to spread across her palm, and Serenity responded softly as she rose to her feet. She then followed him out of the room, and they went downstairs.The car was waiting outside. Jackson took Serenity's hand and led her inside.On the way, Serenity could not help studying Jackson's look for the night. Jackson looked fresh and radiant, dressed in an immaculate black suit, white shirt, and dark purple tie. The look suited him perf

    "Don't bite your lips. You'll ruin the makeup," Jackson murmured softly, his lips getting closer to hers. "What are you thinking? About me? Let me guess. Your face is so red. Are you thinking about the intimate moments we shared?"Serenity's eyes widened in surprise. Just by that look of hers, Jackson knew he had hit the nail on the head."I see. What sort of intimate moments..." His voice grew gentler, making her heart flutter. "Was it that night? Serenity? Are you thinking about that night?"Ba-dump!Serenity's face was burning, a flustered look all over her face. She wanted to bury her head in embarrassment, but his fingers remained on her chin, and she could not turn her head away.Jackson found Serenity's red face indescribably adorable, even more so when her dewy eyes constantly avoided his gaze. Serenity probably did not know, but her reaction only aroused his possessive desire more."Feeling shy? What's there to be shy about?" His fingers gently trailed along her hot chee

    The car soon arrived at its destination. Jackson walked into the function hall holding Serenity's hand.Naturally, their appearance immediately garnered much attention. Jackson alone was the center of attention, but everyone's eyes were also on Serenity. People in Solaria had not seen her for more than three years.Back then, Jackson had attended some public events with Mira Hall before, but they had never held hands. This time, Jackson held Serenity’s hand from the moment they entered the venue. It was different this time, and most people could sense it.Many upper-class ladies were attending the function tonight, some of whom were more or less interested in Jackson.Jackson was notoriously known to be celibate in Solaria. He had never been with anyone since Mira's death. Naturally, some of these ladies were eager to try their luck.Even so, no one dared to take the first step. A long time ago, a woman had intentionally played some tricks to get close to Jackson, but it had not g

    Lucas was not so much an affectionate person. Rather, he was pretty ruthless.'Does a guy like him ever care?' As the thought flashed through Serenity's mind, she somehow thought of Lucas' silver bracelet. It was because of that silver bracelet that she had met Lucas.The bracelet was clearly meant for a child, but Lucas treasured it like it was the most precious belonging. Serenity wondered what was the story behind that bracelet."Who are you looking at?" A low and elegant voice rang in Serenity's ears.Serenity immediately came to her senses, and the moment she turned her head, her lips almost met Jackson's. It was then that she realized they were so close to each other that she had almost kissed him.Jackson's thin lips parted slightly as he murmured softly, "It doesn't matter who you’re looking at. You can only think of me."As he spoke, he looked past her to the man standing at the entrance. Lucas Gomez, his friend since childhood.Jackson had never thought that they would

    This feeling was something Aria had not felt in a very long time. When she found out Serenity was dating Jackson, she did not feel Serenity was above her. After all, she was officially Lucas' girlfriend. However, she felt Serenity had outclassed her this time. Lucas returned to his senses and greeted Serenity. "What a coincidence. We meet again.""Hello," Serenity greeted him with a simple response.Lucas turned his gaze to Jackson. "I didn't expect to see you here today.""I brought Serenity here to meet people. After all, she'll eventually get to know them," Jackson replied flatly, his words overloaded with information.Aria was shocked to hear that. What did he mean? Did he just mention that Serenity would eventually get to know some of them? Could it be... What was Jackson hinting at? Was he planning to marry Serenity someday?!Jealousy rose as Aria thought about this. Despite that, she put on a smile and greeted, "Serenity! It's been a long time. Speaking of which, I've alw

    Lucas had a feeling that Jackson would break his wrist if he refused to let go. There was no need to fight with Jackson over a woman. Besides, Serenity was not the one he was looking for. Lucas thought he had already figured that out before, no?Lucas' eyes darkened, but he loosened his grip, and Serenity's hand was instantly free."My apology. I must've lost my composure. Ms. Lewis reminded me of an old friend," Lucas explained."She's not your old friend. Don't lose your composure again," Jackson warned coldly. Then, he took Serenity's hand and left.Lucas' eyes were glued to Serenity's figure, and there was an unfathomable darkness in his eyes. Meanwhile, Aria almost wanted to scream from beside Lucas.'She isn't?! Well... She probably is!' Aria thought. Assuming that the painting she had seen in Lucas' studio was the old friend he missed, Aria was almost certain that Serenity was the one he had been looking for.The dress Serenity was wearing, the little girl in the paint

    Serenity was surprised. Jackson seldom introduced another person as a friend. Perhaps he shared a close relationship with Caleb Moss. "Nice to meet you. I'm Serenity," Serenity humbly introduced herself."Hello! I've always wanted to meet you, but I didn't have the chance," Caleb said, smiling. He had always been curious about the woman who had captured his best friend's heart.Caleb remembered the night of New Year's Eve. To save Serenity, his best friend had left Master Zack behind and gone to the town next door with a group of police officers. How could Caleb not be shocked and curious?Caleb was finally meeting Serenity in person. He did not find her stunningly beautiful, but she seemed very approachable and comfortable to be with. Jackson seemed a little more relaxed than usual being with Serenity.Caleb immediately realized why his best friend was attracted to Serenity. Men in their circle were so used to their environment, usually surrounded by fake people. They held pow

    “……” 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
