My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 717
It was only then that Lucas finally noticed Lynette's presence there, which was quickly followed by a flicker of sadness in his eyes.What was wrong with him? Lynette was right here with him now, so why was he still doubting it?!Or could it be… that he was hoping for something?!Lucas's fingers slowly unfurled, loosening his grasp, after which Serenity hastily withdrew her arm from him.With a glum look on his face, Jackson instantly scooped Serenity up in his arms."Jack," she told him, "I can walk just fine.""But you had a terrible headache just now," he insisted. "I'd better carry you to the car, just in case."He then strode out of the exhibition hall toward the exit.Lucas kept watching until the two people disappeared in the distance. Then, he lowered his gaze and stared at the red marks on his wrists. They were right at the spots where Serenity and Jackson had been violently grasping at his arm earlier. It was only then that he felt the throbbing pain coming from the s

"I just happened to bump into him, that's all. Then I accidentally stumbled and almost fell, so I reached out my hand and grabbed his arm without realizing it, but after that, I got another headache again…"She tried to explain everything as clearly as possible, afraid that he might misunderstand anything."What about those words you said to him?" he asked. "Was that all really just nonsense?"She felt choked, almost as if her voice was stuck in her throat and would not come out!Nonsense? No, it was not nonsense at all. It was the words she had heard the girl say to the boy in her dreams. But how could she tell him that? How could she answer his question now? She had no desire to lie to him, but she did not want to tell him anything that might cause him to misunderstand her when she still had not figured out the whole truth of the matter yet either."What's wrong?" he persisted. "Was the question that hard to answer?"Her silence made him look up at her, the dark pools in his ey

Serenity buried her face against Jackson's chest all along the way as he brought her straight to the bedroom before placing her down carefully on the bed.Serenity struggled to get up and said, "Listen to me, Jack! I've got something to tell you!""Okay," he replied quietly, but his fingers were already deftly loosening his necktie, and his eyes were locked on hers, "Speak, then. I'm listening."Serenity bit her lips. Only then did she realize how muddled her mind was.'No!' she reminded herself. 'I must keep my head clear!'Right now, the most crucial thing was to explain everything to him as clearly as possible!"I used the wrong word when I said he was like a lifebuoy… What I meant to say was that it was such an urgent situation that I clutched at his hand… without even realizing it…"The further she got in her sentence, the softer her voice became because by that point, he had already taken off all the clothes on the top half of his body, exposing that lean and muscular ches

He bent down and knelt in front of her before gently taking off her high heels. Then, he cupped his hand under her foot to hold it up and say, "Serenity, you're the only person on earth who can control and dominate me!"As soon as he had finished his sentence, he leaned down and planted a kiss on the arched instep of her foot…Serenity gasped. The way he acted just now… It looked just like he was giving her a vow that he was ready to put his life in her hands.The spot on her foot where he was kissing instantly felt scorchingly hot. She could clearly feel his lips against her skin. She wanted to say something, but her throat was too parched. She stayed silent till he raised his head and gazed at her with his twinkling eyes that were exuding such bewitching charm.Serenity knew perfectly well that he was willing to give her everything he had as long as she did not betray him!She also knew that he loved her so much that he was no longer like his usual self. She never expected him t

"Is it because you want to hide from Wilson Birch?" Serenity asked.After all, if Clara planned to get exonerated, she would have to meet the man again."I just don't want to take that risk," Clara replied. "I must make sure he never finds out about Yanny's existence. As soon as he discovers the truth, even if there's a one in a million chance that he might… that he might want to take Yanny away from me… I know that I'll go mad! Yanny is my whole life, Serenity!"Naturally, Serenity could perfectly understand the love Clara felt for Yanny. Even if she had never been a mother before, she could imagine that had she been in Clara's shoes, she would most likely have made the same choices Clara did. She would do anything to keep her child even if it meant not clearing her own name!"I met Wilson Birch again yesterday," Serenity suddenly announced.Clara's eyes were widened as big as saucers as she stared at Serenity in shock."It was at an exhibition," she continued. "He still remembe

It seemed that she had better resolve the problems regarding her dreams and her frequent headaches before they caused any more problems!And so, Serenity silently made up her mind and then made an appointment with Dr. Landale through the phone conversation they had just had. Meanwhile, after she had ended the call, Connor Gunn knocked on Jackson's office door and walked in."Mr. Valor," he reported, "Miss Lewis just contacted Dr. Landale and made an appointment with her. It's on the day after tomorrow."Jackson lowered his gaze. His long fingers were grasping a fountain pen at the time, and he kept on putting signatures on the documents in front of him as if nothing had happened, saying simply, "Okay. I got it."And so, Connor excused himself and left the office, but just before he closed the door, he suddenly heard a faint noise that sounded like something cracking or breaking.When the door was closed, Jackson remained sitting on the sofa, still in the same posture as before,

Yet, for some reason, after finding Lynette, he still had not given these dresses to her. He was unclear as to why he acted this way himself. In fact, he had not even returned the tiny silver bracelet to her.It was as if the act of handing these things over to Lynette would signify the end of all the dreams and fantasies he had been having all these years.What… What exactly was going on with him?These past two days, all he thought about was what Serenity had said to him when she had a headache.Was it all really just nonsense?The red marks she left on his wrist when she clutched at it had faded away, but the sensation of being held tightly by her still lingered there, as if it was refusing to go away."Serenity…" he murmured, gently holding the purple dress that was hanging in the closet. "Tell me the truth! What exactly is going on?"He looked as if he was holding his most intimate lover in his arms…— "Ah!" Serenity yelped as she jolted awake. She discovered herself sur

Why had he given up his life so easily? Why had he not thought of his only son? He must have known what Jackson, who was still a young boy then, would have to go through as soon as he died!Did this man really believe that sending Jackson back to the Valor family would solve all problems? How could he forget that his son needed a father by his side?By that point, Jack had already lost his mother, and then he had to lose his father as well. From a young age, he had to live in a house like this with no other family members but his grandpa who despised half of his lineage!She could almost imagine what his childhood must be like, walking on thin ice. There was no sign of affection between Jackson and his grandpa anywhere in the huge mansion at all, only a lonely child struggling to survive!Serenity walked through the front hall step by step until she reached the inner chamber. The furnishing in this room was exactly the same as she remembered when she was last here, with the memoria

“……” 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
