"Do you think she'll want to stay with me?" Jackson asked.

Connor was slightly surprised. "Do you want Ms. Lewis to stay with you?"

'Isn't the game over once Mr. Valor tells Ms. Lewis who he really is?' Connor thought. He wondered if Mr. Valor... Perhaps he had special feelings for Ms. Lewis?

Connor's eyes grew wide at the thought. "Mr. Valor, are you..." Connor gaped and paused his question abruptly.

"What do you want to say? Say it!"Jackson ordered.

"Mr. Valor, are you in love with Ms. Lewis?" Connor asked honestly.

Connor thought that was why Mr. Valor had been so passionate about this game. Maybe that was why he had secretly done so many things for her. That would explain why he wanted her to stay with him even after the game was over.

Jackson's expression gradually froze.

In love with Serenity? How could that be? How could he fall in love with a woman?

His father was already a good example. One should never fall in love with anyone. He should protect his dignity and not l

    Sometimes, Caleb and his group of friends would make bets on whether Lucas' newest girlfriend would be the one to end his bachelor's life, but they always lost the bets.On the surface, Lucas was a man who appeared courteous, but in reality, he was so cold that he might as well be a corpse."Yes, I know. I can't touch that bracelet."Caleb wasn't surprised at all. Anyone who spent a long enough time with Lucas knew that the man cherished the silver bracelet and wouldn't allow anyone else to touch it.Just then, a figure approached them, and Caleb looked up to see that it was Lucas' newest girlfriend, Lyra. She was a rising star in the entertainment industry who had recently gained a lot of popularity.Of course, her recent success was all thanks to Lucas.As a bigshot in the entertainment industry, Lucas held the largest entertainment and film company in the country, so making a star famous was a piece of cake for him.Lucas always doted on his girlfriends, but when he was no lo

    In fact, when that woman had leaned in closer to him, Jackson even felt a sense of disgust.Holding another woman compared to holding a certain someone really did feel completely different.When he arrived at the front of the rental house, he crouched down to retrieve the spare key from under the doormat. Serenity always liked to keep it there, saying that she wouldn't be locked out if she forgot her key.When he opened the door, the light in the room was still on. A slender figure was sitting by the table, and her head was tilted slightly as she slept.Jackson studied her sleeping face under the light, her expression as serene as a quiet night. It felt as if his heart had also found peace when he saw her.He raised his hand to gently brush a strand of stray hair from her cheek. It felt as if even if he looked at her for a lifetime, he would never grow tired of it.After a few moments, he bent down and carefully lifted her from the chair.Even though he had been careful in his m

    It was a rare day off for Serenity on the weekend, and Lisa wasted no time in taking her out shopping.It had been a while since they had last gone shopping together, and Serenity felt like she was back to those early days.It was like back in the time before that incident had happened, and she would often take Lisa out shopping on weekends. They were carefree and content with life, and everything seemed beautiful then."By the way, what about Jack? Do you know more about him now? Like, where's he from, or does he have any family?"Lisa was most worried about her best friend falling for a scammer."I only know that his father passed away, and it seems like his mother abandoned them. He didn't talk about anything else, and I didn't ask," Serenity replied with a smile."You're so silly. Why didn't you ask more? At least find out what he used to do!" Lisa said with a groan.Serenity smiled calmly. "What's the use in knowing what he used to do? In the past, I knew every detail about

    "Who said we're not buying? I can-"Lisa was about to grit her teeth and buy a piece of clothing to vent her frustration so that these people wouldn't look down on others, but Serenity quickly held her friend back.Then, she said, "If we're not buying, are we not allowed to browse the store?""The two of you coming into a store that far exceeds your income raises suspicions of causing trouble. I'm simply trying to protect the rights of other customers in this store," the supervisor replied with a seemingly reasonable explanation.However, Serenity wasn't buying any of that and retorted directly, "But you have no evidence, and there's obvious doubt of consumer discrimination in your words. By the way, I've recorded what you’ve said on my phone. I believe it should serve as sufficient evidence which I can submit to the mall management.""You...!" The supervisor's face turned red immediately, never expecting that Serenity would have recorded their conversation."Are you done causi

    Zeke was clearly taken aback to see the woman before him."Serenity!"Meanwhile, when Joy caught sight of her brother, she immediately launched into a complaint, "Zeke! You have no idea how shameless Serenity is! She actually asked me to buy her a dress that cost seven hundred and twenty thousand dollars! Can you believe that?! She doesn't even deserve to wear something like that!""Shut up!" Zeke immediately reprimanded her with no hesitation. His face twisted into a grim expression. His sister was so reckless! Didn't she want to live?! Serenity had Jackson behind her back! Forget about a dress costing seven hundred and twenty thousand dollars. Even if it was seven hundred and twenty million, Serenity would still deserve to wear it!"Zeke, what's wrong with you? Why did you raise your voice? I was only talking about Serenity," Joy protested unhappily."There's nothing more to say," Zeke replied curtly before turning to the nearby salesperson and saying, "Wrap that dress up."H

    After Serenity accepted the check, she left the store with Lisa."Serenity, don't you think that was a little strange?" Lisa said as they exited the store. "Zeke actually handed you seven hundred and twenty thousand dollars without any hesitation, and Jenny was right there! Wasn't he afraid that she would misunderstand?""It really is strange," Serenity agreed."Do you think it's because Zeke still has feelings for you?" Lisa wondered."No. He's afraid. It's as if he was afraid that I might get angry at Joy, and that would be detrimental to the Shaw family," Serenity said, expressing her thoughts honestly.Lisa found her statement somewhat absurd. "Maybe he's overthinking it.""Who knows what goes on in his mind?" Serenity said with a shrug before looking at the check in her hand."What are you going to do with this? Tear it up?" Lisa asked, knowing her friend well enough that she wouldn't cash in the money for herself."Why waste it by tearing it up? I'll just donate it to t

    "Why should I apologize?!" Joy protested indignantly.In the meantime, a crowd had started to form around them. Some of the onlookers recognized Jenny. After all, Jenny was a popular celebrity. Even though most of her face was covered by her sunglasses and hat, some people could still recognize her."It's Jenny Hall! And I think the guy next to her is her fiancé!""What are they doing here?""What's happening at the escalator? Is there an accident?"Whispers rose among the crowd. Lisa helped Serenity walk down the escalator. Zeke saw this and went after them.A hint of surprise flashed across Jenny's eyes. She could not believe that Zeke would actually ditch her to go after Serenity! To make matters worse, the crowd around Jenny started to gossip after seeing that."Jenny's fiancé is going after another woman.""Oh my god, is it a love triangle?"Jenny felt humiliated. She shielded her face and left in a hurry with Joy, trying her best to avoid the phones that were filming her

    "Jack," answered Serenity. "I don't know how long I have to stay here for. I want to tell him not to wait for me for dinner."Serenity searched for Jack's contact in the phone and called him.The call was quickly picked up. Jackson's slightly cold voice greeted her, "Sis.""I have to take care of something, so I'll be home late today. You... should take care of dinner yourself," said Serenity.“What do you mean "take care of something"? Just tell him that you're in the hospital!” Lisa chimed in."Sis, you're in the hospital?" There seemed to be a slight change in Jackson's tone."Yeah. I tripped and fell, so I'm now in the hospital waiting to get an X-ray," replied Serenity."Which hospital? I'll be right there," said Jackson."You don't have to come. Lisa's with me. Just wait for me at home," she quickly said.The other end of the call was silent. After a moment, Jackson's cold voice could be heard again. He repeated the question insistently, "Which hospital?""Solaria Gener

    “……” 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
