My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 80
When she said "Jackson Valor", his body stiffened, almost imperceptibly."Do you hate Jackson Valor?" he asked softly.She sighed a little. "Maybe. Everyone in Solaria knows who he is. The person who died in the car accident was Jackson Valor's fiancée, Mira Hall, so naturally, I wouldn't get off easy. The more people wanted to please him, the more I suffered."After a pause, she said almost self-deprecatingly, "Sometimes, I do wonder – if the person who died in the car accident wasn't Mira Hall, would I have won the case? Maybe I wouldn't have to go to prison for three years and go through all that."She was not resentful or angry, but her self-deprecation made him feel even more guilty.He was probably responsible for half the pain she suffered.He crouched down in front of her. Through his heavy bangs, his eyes stared at her fixedly. "If I had known that you would suffer so much, I would have protected you three years ago."He was not saying that because of the game. It came

"You're very light," replied Jackson. He was telling the truth. Although Serenity was over 160 cm tall, Jackson estimated that she weighed no more than 45 kg. He would make sure to feed her well from now on.She leaned her face against his back. It felt very warm. When was the last time she had been carried like this? She could only remember her mother carrying her like this when she was a child.However, the memory was very fuzzy because it was so long ago."Jack, you're so nice," she murmured."Are you going to say that I'm a nice guy again?" he asked."What I'm trying to say is, you're a really nice little brother. I'm so lucky to have a little brother like you," she said.Little brother... His eyes flickered slightly.When this game started, wasn't he the one who chose to stay by her side as a younger brother? She asked him to call her Sis.But now, it seemed like he no longer wanted her to think of him as just a younger brother. He wanted... more.Jackson carried Serenit

In the apartment, Jackson carefully placed Serenity down on a chair, then went to reheat the food that had gone cold.Looking at Jackson getting busy, Lisa changed her mind about him. She used to dislike the idea of Serenity living with a stranger, but he obviously treated Serenity very well.Lisa was glad to know that someone was taking care of her best friend like this.Lisa soon went home. Jackson and Serenity had a simple dinner together. After the meal, Serenity wanted to clean up, but Jackson said, "I'll do it. You shouldn't move around too much."Serenity thus had nothing to do.After doing the dishes, Jackson asked Serenity, "Sis, do you need to go to the bathroom?""Huh?" She was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned red."Do you need to go to the bathroom or not?" he asked, as if it was just a really ordinary question.She looked embarrassed, but finally gave a very small nod.He thus picked her up, carried her to the bathroom, and then backed out again. "Ca

"But if I get fired, I won't have any income. What do we do about rent and food?""I'll take care of them!" he said, "I'll earn enough money to support you, so don't you worry."Serenity stared at him in surprise. She knew that he was only doing odd jobs so he did not earn much, but when he said those words, it somehow gave her a sense of security.It reminded her that she was not alone. She actually had someone to rely on. She could rely on him."Call your boss." He handed her the phone.She bit her lip. In the end, she relented and called her team leader at the Sanitation Office who was responsible for managing them.At first, she thought it would be very difficult to ask for an extended leave, but to her surprise, when she said she needed a week off, the team leader immediately agreed. He even said that if a week was not enough, she could even take two weeks off. Not only that, she would still be paid the basic salary and he would not deduct her pay.Serenity was astonished.

That night, Serenity's muffled scream woke Jackson up. He turned on the light and found that she was not sleeping peacefully. She seemed to be muttering something under her breath.However, her words were so slurred that he could not make out what she was saying."Sis!" he called out to her. He felt her forehead with his hand and found that it was wet with sweat. Her forehead seemed to be a bit hot too.Jackson quickly grabbed a towel, soaked it in warm water, squeezed it dry, and used it to wipe Serenity's forehead.Her eyes were still tightly closed as she kept mumbling.No matter how hard he tried to rouse her, her eyes never opened.He pursed his lips. Anxiety washed over him. He did not know what he could do to make her feel better.It was the first time he had ever felt so worried for a woman.He grabbed his phone and called his secretary, Connor Gunn. Connor thus received a call from his boss at 2 a.m. in the morning."Connor, call a doctor and bring him to Serenity Lew
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 85
But after that, Connor immediately reminded himself to stop speculating. It was not something that he should concern himself with.Connor gently closed the door behind him. Inside the house, Jackson looked at the still-asleep Serenity. He brought the medicine in his hand to her slightly dry lips. "Be a good girl and take the medicine, okay?"However, her lips shut tighter instead. He could not even stuff the pill into her mouth, let alone make her swallow it.Jackson pursed his lips so hard that it almost formed a straight line. He put the pill in his mouth together with some water, lowered his head and moved his mouth closer to Serenity's.His lips pressed against hers. The tip of his tongue pried open her lips and pushed the medicine into her mouth. There were actually other methods he could have used, but for some reason, he chose to use this method to feed her the medicine.Even though the medicine was already in her mouth, he was still longing for her lips.The sensation was

Joy continued to complain.When their parents heard that, they could not help but frown.$720,000 was not a lot of money for the Shaw family, but it was for ordinary people."Zeke, you..." Marcia Shaw stared at her son in disbelief."You should ask Joy what she did," Zeke Shaw said irritably, "She was the one who told Serenity to choose any dress in the store and said she would pay for it. Serenity chose a $720,000 dress. I was merely cleaning up the mess Joy made.""I wasn't actually going to pay!" said Joy, "Zeke, you still have lingering feelings for Serenity Lewis, don't you?!""I was just trying to save your life!" Zeke wished he could slap his sister again.Joy retorted indignantly, "You're funny. What can Serenity Lewis do to me?""Yeah, Zeke, that was too much. You shouldn't have hit your sister for Serenity Lewis. That woman is simply bad luck. If not for her, we wouldn't need to be so cautious when we deal with the Valor family!" Marcia Shaw took her daughter's side.

Zeke wanted to make amends with Jackson Valor, but he could not even get the chance to see him, so all he could do was wait at the main entrance of Serenity's neighborhood, hoping to run into Jackson. When he finally saw a Bentley pull up not far from the entrance and a man coming down from it, he quickly got out of his car to greet the man."Mr. Valor, I'm really sorry for what happened before. My sister is young and ignorant. Please forgive us," Zeke humbly apologized."Forgive you?" Jackson snorted indifferently."If you have any requests, feel free to tell me. I'll agree to anything as long as it's within my power to do so."Jackson stared coldly at the guy in front of him. In that instant, Zeke felt like his blood was freezing up. Jackson's gaze made him feel like he was being watched by a fierce beast. He did not even dare to breathe too hard."Actually, I owe you a favor," Jackson abruptly said."A favor?" Zeke was perplexed. He had no idea when he did Jackson Valor a favo

“……” 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
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 3369
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
