My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 772
Perhaps because yesterday had been a long day for Serenity, she was truly exhausted by the end of it, and after getting something to eat, she felt drowsy right away and fell straight to sleep almost immediately.On the other hand, Jackson sat by her bed for a while, staring at her sleeping face. She was right there, quietly sleeping on the bed as if she would never go anywhere, as if she could never leave him and must always stay in his sight. She was clearly right there in front of him, so why did he still feel as if she was slipping through his fingers?!She told him she was not disappointed today, yet why… did he feel like she was disappointed? For some reason, her words simply sounded unconvincing to him!The image of Lucas carrying her on his back flashed across his mind again, just as if it was a scene from a movie that kept on getting rewound and projected onto his brain. Nothing had ever frightened him so much before! It felt like the thing he feared the most was slowly
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 773
Because Serenity was still in mourning for her grandmother, not to mention that it was near her memorial day, she had no desire to dress up in bright colors yet, but she still applied foundation on her face and put on some light makeup.Still, with her fingers' limited flexibility, she could not have given herself a more complicated makeup look even if she wanted to. She looked down at her hands and smiled gently. Even though they could never heal completely, they were still much better than before. In fact, these were the hands that had completely let go of Lucas Gomez and would only hold onto Jack's hands from now on!She stood up and was just about to leave the room when she caught a glimpse of the door that connected this room to the one right next to it. It was ajar.Ever since Jackson had picked up the habit of sleeping with her in this room, he rarely ever went back to his old bedroom.Serenity walked up to the door and was initially going to just close it, but for some re

No… The last page was, in fact, not completely empty. Instead, there was just one photo there—a photo of her.It was the same photo of her wearing a floral dress that he had once asked her if she could give to him because he thought she looked adorable there.Serenity never thought that Jackson would place this photo in his album among his own pictures.Shortly afterward, she noticed that on the shelf where she had found the photo album earlier, there was a tiny silver bracelet. She must have overlooked it all this time because all her attention had been focused on the photo album.But this bracelet was…Serenity could feel her heart tighten. She remembered that it was the same bracelet that Lucas always brought with him everywhere. How could it be here, then?No, this bracelet… was not the one that Lucas had!Serenity picked it up. It was exactly the same as Lucas's in style and size, yet it was much more oxidized, so it looked much duller than the one Lucas had. Perhaps becaus

Dr. Landale's unwelcome appearance at the Valor Residence had indeed been out of everyone's expectation, but what was even more troublesome was the fact that Miss Lewis had seen her too.Connor feared that even when this was all over, he would get some severe punishments from Mr. Valor! The thought made him shudder involuntarily. He then glanced at the psychiatrist, who had already calmed down by then.A doubt suddenly crossed his mind. Had she actually barged into Valor Residence just because she was afraid? Just because she was worried that her career would be ruined? Was that really why she wanted to hastily prove that she had not given Miss Lewis hypnotherapy yet?Did this kind of reason not sound a bit too simplistic? Besides, he had simply arranged for Dr. Landale to attend a meeting overseas and give her a short holiday, after all.With this in mind, the look in Connor's eyes changed. He had been working with Jackson for a long time, so he had seen a lot of things. Naturally

"Yes."Once again, his short reply filled her heart with a hot mess of conflicted feelings!"Why would you do this?""Why?" He suddenly lifted both of his arms to pull her into an embrace, almost in a cautious manner. "What about you? Hmm? Why did you go to that psychiatrist to get hypnotized? To retrieve the memory of Lucas? Are you so reluctant to part with that memory? You only knew him for a day when you were little anyway, and besides, you have me by your side now."His voice was calm, so calm that it sounded as if he was just talking about something insignificant, yet to her ears, nothing frightened her more than that voice.He even knew… that she had only known Lucas for a day back then! It seemed that he had figured out everything and that she was the only one left in the dark!Sensing that her body had just stiffened, he hugged her even tighter now and inched his lips closer to her ear to murmur to her, "Please stop digging up those memories. Isn't it enough that you hav

So… that was the final straw for him?!Serenity stared blankly at the half-completed cake in front of her. She used to think that she would be overjoyed the day she saw this cake. And yet, she felt like crying at this moment. Their story had come to a close… but if she let it end like this, there would always be a misunderstanding between her and Jackson. No matter what, she had to explain herself! “Jack, the thing between me and Lucas really is…” Before she could finish talking, his lips had already closed in on her, plugging her voice off completely. He bit her lip, almost as if he was punishing her. “Didn’t I already tell you to never mention your past with him? I don’t care what you two were like back then. Now, I just want you to stay by my side forever.” Serenity swore that a second ago, her lips were stinging hot. And yet, it felt icy all of a sudden. Did that mean… he didn’t care about her explanation or that he didn’t believe her? All he wanted was for her to remain b

Even though she kept mentioning Lucas’ name, he was still reluctant to do so. If he trusted her, he would have believed what she told him in his father’s mourning hall, where she swore that she would never betray him! If he trusted her, he would believe that of all the people in this world, she loved him the most! If he trusted her, he would never have hidden his grandmother’s bracelet to deliberately hide the truth. But… what if he had never trusted her from the very beginning? At the thought of that possibility, Serenity felt as if her body had been plunged into an ice lake.Jackson pursed his lips. He had once told her to trust in him. However, when he saw Lucas carrying her on his back or when she secretly visited the hospital on numerous occasions, he began to doubt if he should continue trusting her.This feeling was utterly terrible! Serenity’s voice sounded again. “If you can’t even trust me, how can we carry on our relationship? Lucas, he…” “That’s enough! I told you to
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 779
“You’re… tired?” asked Serenity, who seemed to be only capable of repeating his words.“That’s right. I’m tired, so our relationship’s over!” It was too tiring for Jackson. Loving someone takes a toll on you, whether physically or mentally. If loving Serenity meant he had to suffer constant anxiety and restlessness, he would rather not love at all.If Lucas was destined to be her lover, he would rather not have the rest of her.Back then, when his father had died before his eyes, he swore to himself he would never lose his life to a woman who could betray him. It had never happened in the past, and it would never happen in the future!Serenity stood up awkwardly. While it was obvious that Jackson was standing in front of her, she couldn’t help but notice the distance between them. He was breaking up with her because he was tired? Then what did their relationship mean to him? Did he think it was just a game? The difference between them was that she was fully-invested in the relatio

“……” 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
