She could imagine how terrified he must have felt. He was a child who was alone in a mansion. Even though he had family, there was no love, and he had to constantly worry about being replaced.

The only way he could live was to keep being strong. He could not even show a little bit of weakness.

Because showing weakness meant the possibility of being discarded.

"Was it hard for you when you were young?" Serenity asked in a soft voice. Her heart ached for the man in front of her.

In the past, when she heard others talking about him, he sounded like a high and mighty man who had limitless wealth and could have anything he wanted. He was simply a born winner.

But now, she realized that there was no such thing as a born winner. He had to go through a lot of hardships to obtain what he had now.

He had to carry a burden at a young age that was far beyond what a child should carry.

"It was alright," Jackson replied, his slender fingers gently brushing over her almond-shaped eyes that wer

    Serenity took the wedding dresses into the changing room. Lisa also went in with her to help her change.Meanwhile, in the resting area outside the changing room, Jackson and Terry White sat in silence.Terry observed Jackson. Honestly, he was really surprised that Jackson and Serenity would get married so soon."I heard you've been trying to help Ms. Lewis appeal her case lately," Terry broke the silence and attempted to start a conversation with Jackson."You're very well-informed," Jackson looked up and said."It's mainly because Lisa is concerned about Ms. Lewis' case, so I naturally paid more attention to it," said Terry, "I heard the appeal submitted by the law firm you appointed claimed that the real culprit is Yuri Volkov. Is that true?"Jackson narrowed his eyes and did not say anything. He merely stared at Terry with a cold glint in his eyes."I've done a bit of investigation into Miss Lewis' case myself. There's certainly the possibility of Yuri Volkov putting the bla

    An angel...? Jackson's eyelashes fluttered slightly. Perhaps she really was like an angel to him.She pulled him out of the abyss when he had become so numb that he did not know what the meaning of existence was anymore.If it wasn't for her, he would just be living a meaningless life right now."Jack, what do you think?" asked Serenity. After she put on the dress in the changing room, she inspected herself in the mirror and thought she did not even look like herself anymore.Even though the wedding dress was not a formal wedding dress, it was so beautiful that it made her sigh. Perhaps, deep down in every girl's heart, there was a wedding dress complex.She remembered when she saw brides in wedding dresses when she was a child, she thought wedding dresses looked so beautiful. She wondered when she would be able to wear a wedding dress too. Would her Prince Charming be holding her hand?And now... she really had met her Prince Charming!Serenity stared at Jackson who had walked

    "Too revealing?" Lisa checked the dress she was wearing. It was just a normal strapless gown. The skirt was short in the front and long in the back. The short part was above her knees and the long part reached her ankles.Because the dress was well made, it accentuated her figure. The waistline was tightened just right.The flattering effect of the dress was something that all women dreamed of!Lisa asked Terry, "Don't you think the dress makes my boobs look bigger? I feel like the dress is really flattering."Terry was speechless. Was she really a woman? She was actually discussing her boob size with him. Was she even treating him as a man at all?Even though they were currently a couple in name, he knew that she did not really see him as her boyfriend at all!To her, he was just someone who came to her for revenge, right?"If you really make this the bridesmaid's dress, I’ll make sure that you won't make it to the wedding!" Terry said with a scoff."You--" Lisa glared at Terr

    Granny was discharged from the hospital not long ago and went home to recuperate. Serenity thought Granny was gradually getting better, but... How could this happen?The call just now was made by a nurse from a hospital. The nurse called Serenity at Granny's behest. She told Serenity that Granny was in the hospital and was on her deathbed. She would constantly drift in and out of unconsciousness. Her last wish was to see Serenity before she died!According to the nurse, Granny had been hospitalized for 3 days, but none of Serenity's relatives had called to inform her!If the nurse had not called her today, would she have missed the chance to see her grandmother one last time?No, this was definitely not the last time she would see Granny. Serenity kept telling herself that. However, her hands that were holding the phone kept trembling harder and harder.Suddenly, a hand touched her trembling hands, and a voice rang in her ears, "Don't be afraid. Whatever the situation, we'll face

    Granny did not finish her last sentence. Her eyes and mouth were still open, but she was no longer breathing.Serenity stared at Granny blankly. Tears rolled down her cheeks.The doctors and nurses certified Granny's time of death and told Serenity, "Our condolences, Ms. Lewis."Condolences... The only family she had who loved her was no longer alive.Serenity let out a wail and cried next to her grandmother's body, which was still warm.Granny's body was still warm, but she was no longer breathing and her heart was no longer beating. From now on... Serenity could no longer hear her grandmother's voice, no longer see her grandmother's smile...Jackson stood quietly by Serenity's side as she cried.He knew that she needed time to grieve. Granny had always been Serenity's spiritual pillar. She was the one who protected Serenity after Serenity lost her mother.From now on, Serenity would never see her again.He understood the pain of losing a loved one. His father froze to death

    Serenity's Uncle Francis, Uncle Desmond and Aunt Theresa were notified by the hospital, but they only arrived at the hospital two hours after her grandmother's death.Meanwhile, Serenity's grandfather, Henry Walker, did not even come to the hospital. His excuse was that he wasn't in good health and he was worried that he would get too emotional when he saw Granny's corpse, making his health worse.Serenity wondered how Granny would feel if she knew that.The first reaction of Francis, Desmond and Theresa upon seeing Serenity was to tell her that she must pay her share of the cost of Granny’s grave and funeral!Serenity was so mad. Granny had just passed away, but all they were concerned about was money!"Money, huh?" Jackson, who had been standing at the side without saying anything, finally spoke.Only then did Serenity's uncles and aunt notice there was someone else in the ward. Because they came inside in a hurry and their niece was wearing a very conspicuous wedding gown, the

    Francis said fiercely, "Young man, you were the reason we were in police custody for so long, weren't you? If you don't apologize and compensate us immediately, we'll make you regret it.""I haven't met anyone who dares to demand an apology from me before," Jackson said lazily.Serenity was puzzled. What's happening? His uncles were scared of Jackson at first, but after her aunt said those things, their attitudes changed completely.Was it because Theresa's daughter, her cousin Lynette, had found some kind of backer?But Serenity remembered that her cousin Lynette and her husband were just ironmongers who had a little store in town. They had average income, about the same as most of the town residents. What kind of backer could she have found?"Fine. You won't apologize? Even if you get on your knees and beg us for forgiveness in the future, we won't let you off easy now!" Francis remarked fiercely.Theresa watched them leisurely as if she was watching a show. "Serenity, listen t

    "Jack, forget it." Serenity said, "Granny has just passed away. I don't want to disturb her peace." After all, Aunt Theresa was Granny Emily's daughter! Even though she had a grudge against Aunt Theresa, she did not want to disturb Granny. She wanted Granny to rest in peace."Alright," Jackson responded softly, letting go of Aunt Theresa's hand.Aunt Theresa stumbled a few steps backward and finally managed to steady herself. Her face was pale, and she glared at Serenity with hatred. Her wrist hurt, but she did not dare to charge at Serenity again."Damn you! Wait till Lynette comes and..."Another voice interrupted Aunt Theresa before she could finish her sentence. "Mom, what's wrong? What are you waiting for me to come for?"Serenity looked up to see her cousin Lynette walking in.Lynette was wearing a dress from Chanel's latest collection and holding a classic Chanel bag. She looked beautiful with the delicate makeup on her face, her loosely curled hair draped over her shoul

    “……” 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
