Warming his hands… Serenity suddenly felt overwhelmed by sadness. To her, it was a really beautiful memory. Back then, she thought she had finally found her family. However, the more beautiful the memory, the more cruel reality felt at the moment. He leaned toward her with a face that could make any woman’s heart start pounding away. “Or maybe it’s because of Lucas? That you can’t stand me touching you because he said he loves you?” His breath felt warm on her face, but the look in his eyes was ice-cold. “This has nothing to do with Lucas,” replied Serenity. “Is that so?” Jackson’s eyes flickered. “So you don’t love him anymore?” “Does it matter whether I love him or not? The fact remains that we’re not in a romantic relationship. Even if I’ve fallen for him, so what?” Serenity blurted out unintentionally. Jackson’s expression soured instantly, which completely changed the atmosphere in the car. Serenity felt like she had run out of breath, but Jackson’s face continued

Jackson Valor, when will you finally stop this?” asked Serenity in a hushed voice.His hands paused for a moment before he looked up at her with a smile, exactly like the one she had seen at the rental house in the beginning. “Serenity, you and I will never come to an end.” He would never allow things to end between them! ————Too many things had happened recently that Serenity started suffering from insomnia. When she arrived at her office the next day, Mr. Graham immediately asked her, “Are you alright? You didn’t get hurt yesterday, did you?” Yesterday, while he was talking to her over the phone, their call had been interrupted halfway through. Despite his repeated calls, she hadn’t picked up any of them, which made him panic, and he had even contemplated contacting the police. Thankfully, she had called him back and told him what happened, which made him feel relieved. “No, I’m fine,” replied Serenity. “I’ll ask the police about their investigation later.” “No need,

Even if she had a license to practice, it was likely that most clients would turn down her service no matter how enthusiastic she was. “Just keep your head up,” advised Mr. Graham. “In the future, I’ll hand small cases over to you. It’ll help you establish your name in the field, which will be helpful in the future.” “Thank you, “ replied Serenity. After leaving Mr. Graham’s office, Serenity was informed by the receptionist that a Mr. Wall had been waiting for her for a while.She went over to the waiting room and saw Peter sitting there. The moment he saw Serenity, he seemed to be at a loss. As he blushed, he struggled to find his words. “What’s the matter? If you have something to say, you might as well say it now.” “I… I came today because I heard that there’s been a new development for Leon’s case. I heard that Susie will be added as a defendant! Leon’s parents called Mr. Graham, and they said this was all thanks to the clues you uncovered, so I came here today to thank

Because he had something to lose.But Lucas Gomez would!He would do something that extreme for Serenity, as though she was the only person that mattered to him.After Peter left, Serenity stood still, thinking about what Peter said.Lucas had nearly killed Susie Sheen because of her?But that's impossible! He might have cared about her in the past because he thought she was the person he was looking for, but now that he had found Lynette, why would he...She couldn't help recalling what happened at the police station yesterday, when he had looked at her with a serious expression and professed his love for her.He had the same expression on his face all those years ago when he promised her he would definitely find her and take care of her!After all these years, his serious gaze remained unchanged...When Serenity left work, she bumped into Lucas outside the law firm.He asked, "Want to grab a meal together? We didn't get a chance to dine together yesterday."Serenity obser

A few women in the restaurant stole glances at Lucas. Serenity was starting to regret bringing him here.Maybe she should have taken him to a restaurant with private compartments so that they could avoid prying eyes.After ordering, she told Lucas. "I heard you helped look for me after I went missing yesterday. Thank you.""But I wasn't really any help, was I?" Lucas said softly. "Still, I appreciate it. But..." Serenity paused and looked straight at him. "Yesterday, you said you would wait for my answer. I'll give you my answer right now. I don't love you, so you should stop wasting your time on me."Lucas' eyebrows raised slightly. She was the first woman to reject him so thoroughly.She rejected him once when he mistook her for the little girl, and once again now when he fell in love with her. "Is it because of Jackson?" he asked calmly, seemingly unaffected by her rejection. "No," she replied, shaking her head.Even if Jackson never said anything, she would have rejecte

He suddenly stood up, leaned over the table and took her hand. "Ah!" She gasped and reflexively tried to pull her hand free.However, his grip was firm. He pulled her hand and placed it on his chest. "Can you feel it? My heart is beating faster than usual," he said softly, his thick, dark eyelashes fluttering, "Do you have any idea how fast my heart was pounding yesterday when I watched the surveillance footage and saw the man following you out of the camera's range?" He chuckled quietly. "My heart was beating so fast that I thought it would explode. I couldn't even breathe. My hands were shaking so hard that I couldn't even hold a glass of water."Each word he spoke weighed heavily on her heart. "Do you still doubt my love for you?" She could see the reflection of her shocked face in his piercing eyes that bore into hers.She never expected him to say something like that to her.And her hand that was pressed against his chest felt like it was slowly heating up. "You… I…"

One of the bodyguards immediately went to talk to the restaurant owner while the others forced the guests out of the restaurant, telling them that everything they ordered would be paid for. Some of the guests were unwilling to leave, but when they saw a bunch of people in black suits walking in one after another, they got scared and quickly left.Lucas and Serenity had noticed Jackson standing at the restaurant entrance by now.Serenity was surprised to see Jackson there, but Lucas appeared to expect him. "Would you like to join us?" Lucas asked. "We've already ordered but the food's not served yet."Jackson walked to their table with pursed lips.Serenity instinctively tried to pull her hand back.This time, Lucas didn’t stop her. "Is our food ready?" Lucas asked the stunned restaurant owner.The owner jolted back to his senses and replied, "Ah, yes, I think so!" With that, he hastily went into the kitchen and brought over the food that Lucas and Serenity had ordered."Le

When he saw them looking at each other earlier, he felt like his world was collapsing.It looked as though Serenity and Lucas were in a world of their own, as if in Serenity's eyes, there was only Lucas! Meanwhile, Jackson was left outside, unable to break in! "Unfortunately, she doesn't love you," Jackson told Lucas coldly."Not now, but who can say she won't one day?" Lucas said optimistically. "By the way, who are you to tell me this, Jackson? You already broke up with Serenity."Anger crept into Jackson's eyes."I've given you plenty of chances, Jackson. I've backed off more than once," Lucas continued, "You chose to break up with Serenity. This time, I won't back off." Jackson laughed menacingly. "You won't back off? Haha... Are you prepared to risk the Gomez family?"Lucas raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you prepared to risk the Valor family?" The intense gazes of the two men made the air tense.The restaurant owner fearfully brought the extra food Lucas ordered t

“……” 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! The

"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
