My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 61
Earlier in the morning, Serenity had told Zeke that the man was just her brother. However, he had to reconfirm it before feeling at ease.Zeke drove to the entrance of a rural residential area. He left the car, entered the neighborhood, and searched for the specific unit.After some effort, he finally stopped in front of a narrow door.'This is a typical rural house for rent. Is this where Serenity lives?' Zeke thought.Zeke heard some footsteps approaching just as he was about to knock on the door and instinctively ducked toward the shadows beside him. He hid in the dark and looked toward the sound of footsteps.A tall and lean figure soon came into his view, and as the figure got closer, Zeke's eyes grew wide. He had a speculation that occasionally popped up in his head, and he thought it was impossible, but it had ultimately turned out to be possible.'It's Jackson! It's really him!' Zeke thought. That man could be a lookalike, but two different men could not have resembled ea

Zeke thought Jackson's attitude toward Serenity seemed a little too gentle. The great Mr. Valor he knew had never been gentle with women. He probably had never even treated the late Mira this way.Suddenly, a thought flashed through Zeke's mind. He thought about the previous advertisements that had been withdrawn. Zeke was in turmoil.Before this, they had thought that Jackson had a problem with the Shaw family and the high-profile marriage proposal because of Serenity. Thinking about it again, Serenity was indeed an issue, however, it was a completely different reason from what they had initially thought!Meanwhile, Serenity and Jackson were eating a meal together at home, and Serenity was telling Jackson about what had happened at the Sanitation Office earlier. "I don't know why, but the director fired Quinn. I thought I would be the one fired.""Isn't that a good thing?" Jackson said.Serenity hesitated slightly. "Well, I'm glad I wasn’t dismissed, but I don't know if Quin

Zeke was staring at his girlfriend, Jenny. Although she was wearing such a gorgeous dress, he was distracted. His mind was full of what he had seen last night. Jackson and Serenity's faces were flashing through his mind.Zeke still felt that what he had seen last night was like a dream. He thought, 'What the hell is going on? Serenity and Jackson? What the hell is going on between them?!'Jenny was unhappy seeing her fiance so distracted. She frowned, asking, "What's wrong with you? You have been so distracted since yesterday. Why are you still so distracted today? If you don't want to be engaged to me, just say so."Startled, Zeke hurried up and reassured her with a smile, "How could that be? Why wouldn't I want to be engaged to you? You should know that I'm absolutely devoted to you.""Devoted to me?" Jenny arched her brow. "So you really don't love Serenity anymore?"Zeke's expression faltered slightly. He asked, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, "Why did you mention her again? I

Connor responded with a meaningful smile, "You'll know when you meet him."Zeke felt apprehensive about the meeting.The car soon stopped at the gate of Valor Residence. Zeke followed Connor into the house and saw Jackson sitting on the couch.Jackson was playing with an invitation card in his hands. As Zeke approached Jackson, he saw it was the invitation to his engagement party with Jenny. "We meet again," Jackson greeted indifferently.Zeke shuddered a little. Jackson wore a tailored gray-blue suit, his bangs were combed back, revealing his forehead. He had a relaxed look in his beautiful eyes, and his defined nose and sexy lips with a small smile had an indescribable charm. No wonder many women were obsessed with him. Many celebrities and wealthy ladies from high society were desperate for Jackson's attention. It was not just for Jackson's influential identity but also because of his looks.Subsequently, those beautiful eyes glanced at Zeke, and Zeke stiffened. He felt lik

The cold glint in Jackson's beautiful eyes made Zeke shudder.Connor, who stood beside them, spoke up. "Don't ask what you're not supposed to ask. Mr. Shaw, how do you not understand this?" Zeke paled and left in embarrassment.Meanwhile, Jackson leaned back on the couch. He then took out a cheap cell phone with only one number stored in it and dialed it. A few moments later, a gentle female voice answered the call. "Sis, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll pack it and bring it home," Jackson said softly, and his cold eyes became gentle.***That night, Serenity took a tissue and wiped the picture frame with her mother's photo. She had specially bought a small desk for her rented place. She usually put her mother's photo on the desk and would wipe the accumulated dust every few days.All of her mother's belongings had been left at the Lewis Residence. For her, this photo was the only thing she had of her mother.Jackson sat aside and quietly watched her as she wiped the ph

Serenity was startled. She did not expect the place where she had met him to be the place where his father had died. "I'm sorry," she said."My father's death was his own doing," Jackson said in a low voice. "No need to apologize, Sis.""His own doing?" Serenity was surprised. She never thought he would describe his father's death in this way."Isn't it? He fell in love with someone he shouldn't have. Soon, the person he loved found out he had no more value. He knelt on his knees and desperately begged for her to stay. Even so, it was useless. Finally, he froze to death in the snow."The expression he had seemed indifferent. It was as if he was just talking about a perfectly ordinary thing, and even his voice remained calm.However, there seemed to be a feeling of loneliness around him.Serenity felt like Jackson was back to how he had been when she had first met him."Jack." Serenity called out to him.When Jackson looked up, her face was reflected in his dark eyes. "Hey, do
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 67
Serenity let out a sigh of relief. "Great, you're finally awake."Jackson sat up. Earlier, he had dreamed of his childhood, kneeling in front of that woman and begging. Why had he had such a dream? Was it because they had talked about that woman earlier?"I just had a bad dream..." Jackson exhaled a long breath. When he looked down, he found that his pajamas had been unbuttoned, revealing his bare chest. "Why are my clothes..."Seeing that, Serenity pursed her lips in embarrassment and explained, "Well... You were screaming about the pain, and I was afraid that something was wrong... Uhh... So, I unbuttoned your pajamas and wanted to have a look."Jackson stared at Serenity in silence, and her face slowly grew hot."I swear I didn't... You woke up before I saw anything. I didn't see anything." Serenity was busy explaining, but the more she spoke, the weirder it sounded."Even if you did see anything, it's okay," Jackson reassured her.Serenity's face flushed red. His response ma

"Jack!" Serenity called out to him. She was louder this time and pressed her hands firmly to his face.A trace of clarity gradually came to his eyes, and his dark pupils regained focus, reflecting her face. However, the look in his eyes seemed inexplicably complicated."What's wrong?" Serenity asked."It's nothing." Jackson let out a long breath."I'm glad you're fine." Serenity sighed in relief. "That look you just gave was like..." She thought about it and came up with a description. "You were like fragile glass, and it scared me.""Fragile glass?" Jackson chuckled softly. A deep coldness and hostility flashed in his eyes and disappeared instantly. Then, he was back to normal. "Sis, no one in this world can break me."At that instance, Serenity felt like Jackson was a different person, and she thought she must have seen it wrongly."Sis, you're never going to leave me behind, are you?" he asked, staring at her.Serenity smiled. "Didn't we talk about this before? I won't leave

“……” 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
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
