Serenity and Peter Wall had lunch at a restaurant near the hospital.

Serenity had met Peter again when she came to the hospital to visit Leon, who was still in a coma. Peter had been by her side while she was gathering information. While she was busy at work, he had even helped her with some errands.

Peter had a crush on her but kept quiet about it. Serenity could tell, but she could not be too blunt with him. She tried to keep her distance and not give him the wrong message.

It was close to one in the afternoon. Serenity was so busy with matters in the hospital that she almost forgot about lunch. Peter had not eaten either.

"You've done me a lot of favors. Lunch is on me today," Serenity said.

Peter gave her a shy smile. "I'm the man. I should be the one treating you to a meal."

"There's no difference between men and women. You can treat me when I help you in the future," Serenity said.

Peter's eyes lit up, and he nodded.

The restaurant near the hospital served popular meals.

    "Yeah," Serenity responded."Hmm… What about your brother?" Peter asked.Serenity visibly stiffened at the mention of her brother. Jack used to be very close to her, but he seemed too far away after what had happened later."H-He went back home. I only took him in for a while," Serenity said softly. She returned to her seat and ate her unfinished meal.Peter looked at Serenity blankly. Serenity's brother had seemed to want Serenity all to himself before. 'Is he no longer with her? Is Serenity all alone now? Does that mean…' Peter wondered if he finally had a chance to pursue her. His determination only grew stronger.The two of them never noticed a black car parked not far outside the restaurant. The man in the car was staring at the two of them through the window.Connor was terrified. He glanced at Mr. Valor fearfully. Then, he shifted his gaze at Serenity and the man named Peter Wall in the restaurant.Mr. Valor had ordered him to drive over after learning Serenity's current

    Serenity wanted Peter to forget about her. Peter's feelings for her would never be fruitful.Years ago, someone had made Serenity the scapegoat for Mira's death. She had been powerless and became a discarded pawn that attracted the wrath of everyone around! Embarrassment flashed across Peter's face, but he still said with determination, "I-I know I can't do much, but… But if I had known you before, I would've done my best to help you!"The car pulled up at the office building where Serenity worked and stopped. Serenity turned slightly to her side and looked at the man beside her seriously.Although Peter looked ordinary, he had a kind of power that could warm other's hearts. After what Serenity had been through, she thought maybe the miracle of the ordinary was more precious than anything else."Peter, you're nice. You're a good guy, but I'm not the one for you," Serenity said. "I've been through a lot. I no longer believe in love and relationships. I just want to focus on my c

    "I-I really like you. I know I'm not good enough. I can't give you a luxurious life, but we can have a good and steady life together. I'll do everything I can to keep you safe. You said we can't develop a relationship, but you never gave it a try. How would you know?" Peter was stammering, so anxious yet so earnest.Serenity's nose felt a bit sour. She never knew Peter liked her this much. Not only that, he always respected her no matter how miserable she was.Serenity did not push Peter away. They shared a warm hug, so heartwarming she hoped Peter would meet a woman who truly loved him one day!"Peter, thank you. Even if you hold me like this now, I still don't feel a thing. Do you think there's any point in trying?" Serenity said, listening to Peter's silent breathing. His silence was the best reply.***In a black car parked not far away, a man inside was looking at Serenity. When he saw Serenity and Peter hugging, his hands that were resting on his legs clenched into fists.*

    The tantalizing glimpse of her lips seemed to have possessed Jackson, and he could not resist kissing Serenity.Serenity felt something pressing against her lips while in her sleep. She felt something touching her lips, and she tried to avoid it by instinct. However, she could not, and she eventually woke up.'No, this doesn't feel right!' Someone was kissing her! Serenity thought and opened her eyes, seeing nothing but darkness in her eyes. 'There's a hand!' She felt someone covering her eyes with a hand. With her eyes covered, she could not see anything. The man deepened the kiss. Who was it?! Who was kissing her?! Filled with fear, Serenity struggled with all her might. An absolute force restrained her, making her efforts futile.Serenity could not break free or avoid him. Along with the kiss, she jolted as she inhaled the familiar scent. Jackson?!They had been so close to each other at one point in time. How could she not be familiar with his scent? And the kiss… This fami

    The next morning, Serenity woke up from the alarm on her phone. She felt a little drowsy, and her neck felt sore. She raised her hand to rub her neck, trying to ease the soreness. Then, she abruptly remembered something and froze. Serenity looked around her room. Everything seemed to be the same as usual. She was still in her pajamas. There was nothing strange.She remembered someone kissing her in her sleep last night, and then she had passed out! She had not seen who it was, but it felt like Jack!There seemed to be nothing abnormal. Was the kiss just a dream of hers? Maybe deep down in her heart, she had not forgotten him yet. Did she dream of him because of that? Her expression dimmed at the thought. Then, she pulled the blanket and got out of bed.Serenity wondered when she would ever forget him. She had thought she could finally have a family with him before, but it had been nothing but a dream. She had to forget him to start over again.Serenity went to the bathroom, grabb

    "You don't have to be so reserved, Clara. I know you'll help me too if I'm in trouble someday," Serenity said, smiling."Yeah." Clara broke into a smile. "By the way, I'm going to move to Georgia.""Georgia?" Serenity was surprised. Georgia was a beautiful place and popular with tourists, and the cost of living in Georgia was reasonable. It was not too far from Solaria and about a three-hour drive to Georgia. "When are you moving?" Serenity inquired."Maybe in September. I have to find a place there first. Also, a kindergarten for Yanny. Yanny can communicate like a normal child with hearing aids. I'd like to enroll him in a normal kindergarten. I don't know if any kindergartens will accept a child like him."A deaf child would usually go to a special kindergarten. Although deaf, Yanny seemed to behave the same as a healthy child.Clara had begun to think about it. She wanted her son to grow up normally and not be treated as a disabled person. After all, she was the reason why Y

    Yanny immediately jumped into Serenity's arm affectionately."By the way, do you want to go to the amusement park this Sunday?" Serenity asked Yanny.Yanny's eyes sparkled, and he nodded gently."Why don't I take Yanny to the amusement park this weekend?" Serenity offered."Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?" Clara said."Not at all. I look forward to spending a day at the amusement park with Yanny!" Serenity said. Besides, Clara was moving to Georgia soon. Once they moved, it would be harder for Serenity to meet Yanny."You have to go to the hospital for the follow-up visits on the weekend, don't you? You can go with Mrs. Wells, and I'll take Yanny to the amusement park," Serenity said."Well… I'm sorry to trouble you," Clara said in embarrassment."It's no big deal at all," Serenity said to Clara and turned to Yanny, who was in her arms. "Isn't that right, Yanny?" In return, the little one gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek.Clara smiled, looking at her son in Sereni

    Wilson treated Sandra well, but… Something seemed to be missing.Sandra had thought that Wilson would marry her soon after Clara had gone to prison, but she was anxious because their marriage seemed to be perpetually delayed."And what if… I want to marry you. Would… Would you marry me?" Sandra chewed on her lip and gazed up Wilson.Sandra did not want to delay their marriage any longer, especially when she realized Wilson had found Clara in Solaria. He must have spent those extra days in Solaria for Clara!Sandra did not know why Wilson had come back early. Before this, Wilson had kept saying that he was looking for Clara to exact revenge. But what about now? He had found Clara, right? Why was Wilson acting like nothing had happened? He had not even mentioned Clara again after coming back this time.What had happened between him and Clara in Solaria? Sandra was full of doubts in her mind. Although curious, Sandra was afraid to send anyone to investigate these matters for her. S

    “……” 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
