My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 529
“Say my name, Serenity. I want you to say my name...” urged Jackson with his hoarse and seductive voice.“Jack...” In the next second, he pressed his lips against hers, and he began kissing her passionately. The sound of her calling his name was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard. In fact, he wanted to treasure it for the rest of his life. ***Recently, various news outlets across the city had begun reporting on the Wayne family’s tax evasion scandal. While there was a half-hearted attempt to cover up the incident, it was now put on full display for everyone to see. All the while, the Tax Bureau had gathered sufficient evidence of their tax evasion to bring a lawsuit against the Waynes. It was reported that the Waynes had paid back a considerable sum for their taxes and fines, which led to a severe restriction in their cash flow. Due to the incident, no bank was willing to give any loans to the Waynes as well. The Waynes, who once owned a large chain of convenien

“I’m sorry to say that Mr. Gomez isn’t interested in seeing anyone today. By ‘anyone’, I think he meant you as well, Ms. Lewis. You may try calling him. If he’s willing to see you, I will let you in,” The servant said courteously. The politeness in his tone was betrayed by the contemptuous look in his eyes. While serving their family, he had come across plenty of women like Aria. Lucas had a string of ex-girlfriends who had tried desperately to get him to fall in love with them, but none were successful. It appeared that Aria had the same intention as those girls, but like them, he remained unmoved. If she couldn’t get him to fall for her, it was only a matter of time before she lost the glamor of being Lucas’ girlfriend. She gritted her teeth as she glared back at the servant. If Lucas had agreed to meet her, she wouldn’t have come to him in the first place.At the villa, Lucas was in his art studio sketching the grown-up portrait of the little girl from his memories. The mom

Serenity learned of the Wayne family’s tax evasion scandal from the news even though there were already reports in the past about the same issue. Given their financial capacity, it remained unclear whether they could recover from this incident.The Waynes had their own connections throughout the city. If they were willing to help and if Jackson refrained from pursuing the matter, there was still a chance that they could salvage their business. Whenever she asked Jackson about them, he would respond without hesitation, “Julia mistreated you, so they deserved this.” “But that’s her problem, her family has nothing to...” “Their business was already plagued with issues in the first place. What I did was merely highlight their flaws in advance. What’s more, the businessmen in this city are no fools. They were all waiting for an opportunity just like this to gain more market share in convenience stores across Shermal,” explained Jackson. Serenity more or less understood what he was

“No... you don’t have to go that far.” Serenity was just a delivery driver. If news got out that the mighty Jackson Valor had to find a replacement for her, a lot of jaws would drop to the floor. The blame was still on him for being so enticing, which led to Serenity losing herself in his presence. At least she now understood how it felt to be in love with someone so attractive. “Serenity? Serenity!” Clara’s voice sounded next to her ear, forcing her to snap out of her daydream. “Huh? What’s the matter, Clare?” “I should be the one asking you that! You’ve been staring off into space the whole day. Is something going on?” asked Clara out of concern. “Oh, it’s nothing,” replied Serenity. Despite her answer, her face was flushed red. “Right, how is Mrs. Wells’ leg?”Yesterday, Clara’s mother had fallen and injured her leg. Because Clara had to send her to the hospital, their restaurant had to close early. “It’s nothing too serious. The doctor said she’ll have to undergo a

“Hmm? You don’t enjoy movie premieres?” asked Jackson. “No, it’s not that,” replied Serenity while shaking her head. Her problem was that movie premieres weren’t attended by regular movie-goers. The movie stars themselves would be present at the premiere.It was just too...Serenity forced herself to suppress the imaginations in her head as she still had a mission to accomplish. “I have to send Yanny to class, so I’m not sure if that’s possible.” Upon hearing that, Jackson’s gaze left her and fell on the little boy standing next to her. “Why are you sending him to school?” From his tone, one could almost detect a hint of jealousy.“Clara’s mother hurt herself and is scheduled for a minor operation in the afternoon. Clara’s at the hospital with her mother, so I volunteered to send him to his class.” Jackson frowned silently at her reply. Having come under his intense gaze, Yannick grew visibly uncomfortable, so he moved closer to Serenity and grasped her hands tightly. Na

“Then there shouldn’t be a problem. The premiere starts at five o'clock in the afternoon. We can still make it after his class ends.” “Oh?” Serenity was pleasantly surprised. She thought she had missed out on the chance to catch the premiere. “Well, I don’t see why not,” Jackson chuckled. “Even if we can’t make it in time, I can make them hold another premiere when you’re available.” His reply caught her by surprise. He was willing to go that far just for her? Though now that she thought about it, it wasn’t that hard for him to pull off such a stunt. While Serenity didn’t want Jackson to spend too much time planning another premiere just for her, she felt the sweetness in his promise. It was the gesture of love that she cherished. When they arrived at their destination, Serenity held Yanny’s hand as she brought him out of the vehicle. Jackson silently followed them to the classroom. This place was filled with children wearing cochlear implants. Like Yanny, they were accompa

The parent replied enviously, “So he’s your boyfriend! What a nice guy, to accompany you in this activity. I’m sure he’ll make a great dad if you two get married. It’s rare to see a man as patient as this these days. Take a look around, and all you see are mothers.” The thought of having children with Jackson made Serenity blush. After their conversation ended, she glanced down at her flat belly. She had been taking supplements to boost her fertility, but she wondered if it was working. In any case, she was still hopeful. At the very least, she wasn’t as pessimistic as before whenever the question of having children came up. Suddenly, she heard someone whisper in her ear. “I’m gonna be a good father if we have children together.” Serenity was momentarily taken aback. Jackson had moved so close that her lips brushed against his cheek when she turned around. It happened so quickly, but her face started to burn up. “I swear, I will do my best to protect you and our child.” He kn

“Sure,” replied Jackson. After all, bringing an extra child to the movie premiere wasn’t a particularly difficult task. “But are you sure he can understand the movie?” Serenity searched her memory. If she recalled correctly, the movie was marketed to everyone, including children. Although Yanny was considered fairly young, she was more worried that he wouldn’t understand the words being said.At the same time, going to the theatre would be a brand-new experience for the boy. She could whisper softly and give him hints of the plot or signal to him with her hands. All of a sudden, she realized how meaningful it was to bring Yanny along! She looked forward to seeing his reaction to the big screen. Using sign language, she asked the boy if he had watched the movie already. Yanny shook his head. “Then, would you like to watch the movie together with Auntie later?” asked Serenity while using sign language to assist his understanding. The boy nodded excitedly. Although he underst

“……” 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
