My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 723
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

His vulnerability only intensified her uneasiness."Why did you ask me that all of a sudden?""Just tell me," he insisted, "you'll never betray me, right?" His voice had become hoarse, and his tone made it sound like he was helplessly pleading with her.In a moment, her already growing uneasiness was now mixed with deep sympathy.He was Jackson Valor! Why would he use such a weak pleading tone with her, asking her never to betray him?!She looked past him and saw the plaque behind him. She knew that it was where his father's ashes were kept. Here lay the man who had chosen to die after getting dumped by the woman he loved.Perhaps… that was a kind of betrayal.His father was betrayed by his mother, and in turn, he was betrayed by his father and left orphaned and all alone in this world.His eyes were still fixed on her, waiting for her answer.Her nose stung again. From the outside, this man looked clearly like someone who could get anything his heart desired with a lift of hi

She took a quick shower hastily and dressed up before rushing to the hospital.She had no idea that from the moment she stepped out of Valor Residence, someone was already reporting her moves to Jackson."Miss Lewis has gone out, Mr. Valor."It was Connor Gunn, reporting to Jackson in the CEO's office.Jackson looked down. His dark and long eyelashes trembled ever so slightly as he said, "Okay. I got it."After that came nothing but silence. Yet, for some reason, Connor began to shudder, because Jackson's eerie silence was making him feel… terrified.Serenity arrived at the hospital and got her queue number. Shortly afterward, she was already able to meet the psychiatrist.Dr. Landale was a woman in her forties. She was slightly chubby, and her gentle smiling eyes could put anyone at ease, making it easy for them to put their guard down.Perhaps someone like this is perfect as a psychiatrist.Serenity took a seat and proceeded to describe her condition in detail. She also me

When would Serenity come out?She had clearly promised never to betray him, so why did she still have to see a psychiatrist?Did she still want to retrieve the memories related to Lucas?Jackson quietly watched. Finally, a figure in a white dress appeared in his field of vision.It was Serenity!Even though people were walking around, he could still recognize her at a glance.Then, he saw her take out her phone as if to make a call.After a moment, his phone rang. He took out his phone and looked at the caller ID—"Sis."Even though he no longer used that number, the name on his phone hadn't been changed.Perhaps it was a kind of nostalgia. This woman had once smiled and said to him, "Will you be my little brother?"She had also said, "From now on, I'll cherish you, and you'll cherish me."Sis... Sis...At that time, he didn't know that this woman would make him love so deeply.The phone continued to ring, and Jackson pressed the answer button. He listened to her clear vo

As Serenity pushed open the door to the CEO's office, she saw a tall figure standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the skyline of towering buildings in the city.Suddenly, Serenity felt that the scene before her was like a poster. He was simply standing there as if the entire city was under his control.In reality, he indeed had the capability to dominate the city.This version of him was like a completely different person from the vulnerable and lonely one she had seen early in the morning."Jack," she called out.Jackson turned his head and gave her a faint smile."You're here.""Yeah, I brought lunch for you. Have some and see if you like it," she said as she walked confidently toward the coffee table, placing the lunch boxes and fruits on it.He approached the coffee table as well and then opened the lunch box, sitting on the sofa.Serenity felt like she was back to the times when she used to have lunch with him in the office every afternoon."Does it taste

Some delicate actions might have been effortless for her in the past, but now, they seemed strenuous. Yet, here she was, putting in the effort to peel an apple for him.So, there was a place in her heart for him. She had said it—she loved only him!Jackson kept repeating this in his heart. His captivating eyes watched her hands' movements, almost as if wanting to confirm to himself through this that she cared deeply for him.When she finally finished peeling an apple, Serenity let out a sigh of relief and handed the apple to Jackson. "There you go."He took the apple, took a light bite, and the sweet taste soon spread in his mouth."Is it sweet?" she asked."Very sweet," he replied."Then I'll have one too," she said, picking up another apple, ready to peel it.However, in the next moment, he reached out with his long arm and pulled her into his embrace. "Why go through the trouble? Don't exert yourself to peel another apple.""Huh?" She was taken aback. Then, she watche

"Yeah. Just a cake will do. But this year, my birthday happens to be one day after my grandmother's seventh day of passing. I don't want to celebrate much. I just want to eat a cake with you and the others, including Lisa," Serenity said.Although this was her first birthday with him, her grandmother had recently passed away. So, she was still in mourning. She didn't want a lively birthday celebration. She only wanted to spend it quietly with him and her friends."Alright," Jackson agreed. "I'll prepare a birthday cake for you.""Thank you," she smiled faintly, then checked the time. It was almost the end of lunchtime, and Jackson would need to return to work. "I'll head back then and not disturb your work."As she spoke, she picked up her bag and stood up. But before she could take two steps, a pair of arms wrapped around her from behind, pulling her into his embrace. He buried his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling her fragrance. "Tomorrow... don't go to the hospital. Let

“……” 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
