My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 864
"There are plenty of good women out there for you," Serenity said. After what she had been through, she was already emotionally damaged.Peter pulled up in front of Yanny's neighborhood. He scratched his head and said shyly, "Maybe that's how it is when you fall in love. I want to take a gamble."For a moment, Serenity did not know what to say. She had also had the same thoughts when she had been with Jackson. When Jackson had forced her to stay with him and shown his love for her, she had taken a gamble. Unfortunately, her gamble had not gone well.After dropping Yanny off, Peter drove Serenity home."Serenity. You don't need to feel pressured. Maybe… If you still don't like me, maybe I'll just give up in a few years," Peter mentioned.Serenity could feel Peter's kindness. He had probably said this because he did not want his feelings to burden her.After saying goodbye to Peter, Serenity went home. She opened the door, only to stiffen when she saw the man waiting inside. Jack
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 865
"Why do you have this…" Serenity murmured at a loss.A beautiful smile curved his lips, beaming at her. "Why can't I have this?" Jackson asked back with amusement as if she had asked a stupid question.Serenity caught her breath, daunted by Jackson's dangerous smile and question. Yeah. Jackson could enter her house whenever he pleased, waiting for her to come home. It would be easy for him to get a video like this. It was just that… Serenity was completely unaware that someone had been filming her and Peter earlier today. Was this the only video he had? She had taken Yanny to the amusement park with Peter today. Had he been watching the whole time?Serenity's scalp tingled at the thought. "You know what? What you're doing is a violation of privacy!" Serenity said solemnly.After all, no one would want to live under surveillance. Besides, Serenity had broken up with him. She could not even figure out why he would keep her under his watch.Jackson's lips curled into a smirk. He ro
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 866
His kiss was ravenous and domineering yet lingering. It reminded Serenity of the kiss the other night—the kiss she had felt when she was soundly asleep. It felt very much alike.Was that really him? Had he kissed her in her sleep?!His kiss made her breathless. When they broke the kiss, she gasped, panting for breath. "Quit liking Peter, okay?" Jackson rasped, murmuring under his breath. He rested his head against her forehead. Serenity shuddered at his words. Jackson was the one who had broken up with her. How could he forbid her from liking another man? "Jackson. Don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say that?"Jackson's face darkened. He wondered if she had any idea what he felt watching these videos of her and Peter at the amusement park. His jealousy seemed to be consuming him from within.Jackson had seen Serenity gazing at Peter, smiling. Serenity had even helped Peter to fix his tie. It hurt watching her do that to another man, that knife's edge of pain torturing h

What did he mean?!Serenity stared blankly at Jackson only to see his almost perfectly exquisite lips part, and the next words that came out of his mouth were, "Haven't you always longed for a family, Sis? Then why don't you keep on being my Sis?"Serenity was shocked into silence. After a while, she suddenly got an urge to burst out into a roar of laughter."You want me to continue being your sister and you'll be my younger brother?""Why not?" he asked her."Don't you realize how comical you are right now, Jackson Valor?!"This time, she really burst out laughing before adding, "Back then, you said you wanted to date me, so I agreed and we dated, and then you said you wanted to break up with me, and I agreed again, and now? You're bored of that dating game you played with me so you want to go back to playing the game of us pretending to be brother and sister, huh?"His expression instantly darkened, and he replied, "This isn't a game. You can be my Sis, the elder sister of Jac
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 868
Right now, her priority was in comparing the details Peter had provided her with to the information she already had, and from there, she would try to find more clues that would confirm the hunch she had of what had really happened!Meanwhile, the black car had already reached Valor Residence, but Jackson still would not get out of the car. Instead, he remained sitting in the back seat, his eyes closed but his mind focused while the mobile in his hand played a video. It was the video of Serenity at the amusement park with Peter and Yanny, but it was not the one Serenity had seen earlier. In fact, Jackson had many more videos like this on his phone. These videos captured every single thing Serenity had experienced at the amusement park today. Connor, who was sitting in front, was so tense at the moment that he dared not even breathe. The car was filled with the cheerful noise of people playing together, yet the atmosphere was dismal and dreary in the car.After a long while, he fin

"But the fingerprints on the steering wheel and the surveillance video of them getting into the car both indicated that Ann Hawkins was in the driver's seat and Susie Sheen was in the passenger seat," Mr. Graham argued."That is true," replied Serenity, "but… there's something fishy about the time.""The time?" Mr. Graham narrowed his eyes.Serenity continued, "I did a little experiment myself this morning and took a taxi from the location they got into the car to the location of the accident and made sure that the taxi was driving at the speed we estimated from the surveillance videos. It took me 15 minutes to get there, yet in this case, the witness, Peter Wall, immediately reported the accident to the police after it happened, which showed that the time between those two people getting into the car and the time of accident was 23 minutes! No matter how you look at it, the 8 minutes' difference is just too significant to ignore, don't you think?"Mr. Graham's eyes gleamed. This w
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 870
Although Susie would sometimes pause when she spoke as if she was trying to recall her memory, Serenity had a feeling that the look in Susie's eyes was not that of someone recalling something.If it was true that Susie's answers had been prepared beforehand, there was a high chance that her theory might be true.As she was lost in her thoughts, someone suddenly shoved her aside and yelled, "Damn it, you extra! What are you doing standing there?! Get out of here! Don't you see the camera here? Don't just wander around wherever you like!"Alarmed, Serenity realized that she had inadvertently walked in front of the camera in another team of filming crew. She then apologized profusely, "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it!""Who hired you, anyway? Don't you know that you can't just go anywhere you like around here? Besides…"But before the man could finish his sentence, another voice interrupted him, saying, "She's not a part of the crew."Serenity turned around swiftly and saw Lucas Gome
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 871
She had a hunch that Lucas would hold her there for as long as she would not give him an answer."He has already broken up with me, so of course I would stop loving him. There, I’ve answered you. Will you let go of me now?""Who will you love, then?" he asked.She had no desire to love anyone anymore. All she wanted now was to live a quiet and peaceful life alone.She looked up at him and said, "That's none of your business, Mr. Gomez. Didn't you tell me back in the mountains that from then on, we would be strangers to each other and nothing more?"His body stiffened. Strangers… He had indeed decided that they would be strangers to each other from then on, but when it came the time to actually make it happen, he found it to be excruciatingly hard.That night, after noticing her standing so awkwardly next to the pool table, he just could not take his eyes off her. Her appearance had so easily broken his initial resolve.In fact, he even felt a little happy when he heard of her br

“……” 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
