My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 697
If the dreams were indeed her memories, then she was indeed the person Lucas had been searching for. What should she do then? What would be her next step? Should she tell Lucas about it?Would it only cause more trouble eventually?But... if she did not find out the truth... there would be a bottomless hole in her heart which would cause her constant anxiety.While Serenity was lost in thought, her phone rang. She picked up the call and heard a familiar voice. It was a call from Jackson. "How did it go? Have you seen the doctor?""Yeah, I have," replied Serenity."What did the doctor say?""He said it's nothing serious. He asked me to come back if the problem lingers," she said somewhat guiltily. After all, she had always believed that a couple should be honest to each other, but now, she was actually lying to him."That's great. There's a trade show tomorrow that you should go with me. I'll ask the driver to take you to Color Delight to pick a gown and jewelry," said Jackson.

She was left standing in the boutique in embarrassment.She had not visited the boutique again after that.And now, all the staff were showing her a respectful attitude. Of course she knew that it was not because she was Serenity Lewis, but because the man behind her was Jackson Valor.That was the way the world worked. Many people in the society were materialistic.She hoped that, one day, she would be respected not because of who the person standing behind her was, but because of who she was.In the end, Serenity chose a purple evening gown. The gown's design was very simple. Although the style was relatively conservative, it gave the gown a sense of elegance and dignity. The combination of crystals and lace on the waist and skirt gave the gown a lively feeling so that it did not look too rigid.When Serenity chose the gown, a staff member looked like she wanted to say something but she was stopped by a look from Mr. Wallace.After Serenity went into the changing room, the sta

Before this, he thought Lynette was only rumored to be the Prince's girlfriend, but the Prince had not admitted it yet, so he was not afraid of offending Lynette.But now, the Prince had actually come to the boutique with her!Could Lynette actually be the Prince’s girlfriend?On one side was the Prince's woman and on the other was Mr. Valor's woman. Mr. Wallace wished he could pass out right now so he would not have to face such a difficult problem.Meanwhile, Lucas was staring at Serenity in a daze. She was standing there quietly, waiting for the manager's answer.The soft light of the corridor fell on her body, making her look gentle and serene.There was an underlying toughness in her almond-shaped eyes. A woman like her may seem gentle, but nothing could crush her.Even three years in prison could not wear away the toughness and clarity in her eyes.Seeing the way Lucas was looking at Serenity, Lynette's jealousy burned even greater. She bit her lower lip and pretended to

Jackson glanced sideways at Lucas.Lucas, seemingly aware of this, shifted his gaze to meet Jackson's eyes.The two men's eyes met in mid-air. There seemed to be a silent battle going on between them.Suddenly, the corner of Jackson's mouth curled into a smile. He reached out and wrapped his hand around Serenity's shoulders, leaned down to move his face close to hers, and softly repeated his previous question, "What did you say you would let her have?"That stung Lucas.Jackson… was doing it on purpose!Was he deliberately acting intimate with Serenity to tell other people to stop having funny ideas about her?It left a bitter taste in Lucas' mouth.He could not believe that he would actually fancy another man's fiancée.He had never lacked for women. He had never bothered to hit on women who already had significant others.All the women he had been involved with had done so willingly.However... Serenity was an exception.Was it because she looked too similar to the girl i

Serenity seemed like she had changed her mind about the purple dress after hearing that Lucas liked purple. 'Is she… Is she trying to draw a line with me?' Lucas felt uncomfortable at the thought that flashed past his mind.***Each of the fitting rooms here was a separate room. The staff guided Lucas and Lynette to one of the VIP fitting rooms.When Lynette appeared in the same dress Serenity had worn earlier, Lucas simply glanced at her and said, "Not bad."Lynette knew she would not look as good as Serenity in this dress, especially when Serenity had already worn it before her. It felt like Lynette was imitating Serenity. After what had happened earlier, it would be hard for her to get another dress instead."Lucas, do you think I shouldn't have argued with Serenity about the dress earlier?" An aggrieved look spread across Lynette's face. "I-I just wanted to wear the purple dress to make you happy. I remember you said you liked purple when you were little."Lynette paused slig

The next moment, Jackson wrapped his arms around Serenity from behind. He let out his breath and moved his lips closer to her ear. "Sis, you're so pretty."Serenity's face flushed red. Doing that right here… The staff in the store were still around!"Hey… You shouldn't! People are watching!" Serenity warned softly, her face heating up again."So what? We're dating. Isn't it natural to hug?" Jackson said.Serenity looked up and faced the mirror. She had a shy smile on her face, wrapped in his embrace. The contrast between Jackson in a black suit and Serenity in a silver dress formed a sharp difference and strong visual impact.Suddenly, her eyes met his. The couple looked in the mirror, their gazes locked. Serenity stared at Jackson in the mirror. He rested his chin against her shoulder, his hair slicked back, revealing his forehead.His beautiful eyes exuded endless charm, his sexy lips parting to speak under his chiseled nose. "Sis, you're so beautiful." Serenity's face turn

Something fishy was going on with Lynette's strange behavior. Maybe it was what she suspected!'But… Is it really okay?' Serenity thought. If she guessed correctly, everything she knew would be different. Her relationship with Lucas would not be the same as before.Serenity only saw Lucas as another acquaintance. Even if things changed, Serenity could think of Lucas as nothing more than a childhood friend. At most, they shared a common experience when they were children. She would not treat him differently, but what about Lucas? What would he think?What about Jack? How would he react? Over time, Serenity had gradually grown to understand Jackson better, and she realized that Jack was extremely insecure in their relationship. Maybe his childhood experience had made him emotionally sensitive.Jackson was already very bothered about her relationship with Lucas. Serenity became even more hesitant about seeing the psychiatrist. She was worried about what he would think if her suspicion

Jackson would never let Serenity get her memory back! No matter what! He wanted to be the only one in her heart!*** It was late at night. Feeling tired, Serenity became drowsy. Jackson carried Serenity to the bathroom. He gently put her in a tub of warm water and bathed her. Serenity tilted her head back and fell asleep. Jackson gazed at her, madly in love. He loved her deeply. He loved her pretty face and found everything about her attractive.Serenity was fair-skinned. The old scars on her fair skin were very striking. She had gotten them when she was in prison.Whenever Jackson saw her scars, he felt guilty and heavy-hearted. Maybe it was a feeling he would never be able to get rid of. It would burden him as long as he loved her. The scars were not the only thing he saw. There were some red marks left on her skin. Jackson loved seeing his marks on her. It was like silent proof that she was his!After bathing her, Jackson carried Serenity out of the water. He wrapped her

“……” 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
