My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 987
She wondered how the public would react if they found out that she treated Jackson Valor and Lucas Gomez, two of the most important people in Solaria, to a $378 meal.It sounded ridiculous even to Serenity!By the time Serenity reached her apartment, she was exhausted.She quickly took a shower and went to bed.It wasn't her body that was tired, but her mind.She never expected Lucas to tell her that he loved her. Unfortunately, she couldn't reciprocate the love.Besides, even if Lucas truly loved her now, who knew how long it would last? A few months? A year or two?She didn't want to fall in love anymore. The pain of falling in love and then being dumped was too much to bear.Serenity was able to get back on her feet twice, but she didn't know if she could do it a third time.She closed her eyes and emptied her thoughts. She eventually managed to fall asleep.Suddenly, she was jolted awake by an urgent knock at the door. She checked the time and saw that it was past 10pm. S

Serenity glared at Connor, expecting him to take Jackson back.Connor, however, looked back at Serenity with a wry smile and said, "Umm... I'll have to trouble you to take care of him for the night, Miss Lewis. I'll pick him up in the morning. If you need anything during the night, feel free to call me."Connor placed his business card on a low cabinet by the door before thoughtfully helping Serenity close the door.Serenity immediately felt a sense of powerlessness. It appeared that Connor was determined to keep Jackson here for the night.But... she had to stay with him alone all night? She didn't know what other choice she had. She gritted her teeth and brought him to the bed...Connor got into the car, took one last look at the door, and let out a long sigh.He hadn't seen Mr. Valor get drunk in years. Mr. Valor had always been a disciplined and rational man.It was for this reason that he was able to endure Master Zack's harsh training and eventually take over the Valor fam

And later, after she fell in love with him, the wish to protect him became even stronger.Even though she knew that he was a powerful man and that his abilities were far superior to hers, she still wanted to do everything she could to protect him.If he felt insecure, she would do everything she could to make him feel safe. She would love him wholeheartedly and let him know how much he meant to her.But what happened afterwards made her realize that everything she did was nothing but a joke.He never needed her protection.To him, she was nothing more than a pawn.With a bitter smile, Serenity bent down and took off the shoes from Jackson's feet. She would just sleep on the couch.She reached for the blanket to cover him up. Because the bed leaned against one of the walls and the blanket was currently pushed against the wall, she had to reach across his body to grab the blanket.While she was doing that, Jackson suddenly opened his eyes.His pitch-black eyes were flooded with

"You... don't want me too?" He seemed to be having a hard time saying those words.Want him? Serenity found that word funny.He was Jackson Valor. Who was she to want a man like him?"You're drunk. Let me up, it's getting late..."He suddenly moved his face even lower, cutting her short. The tip of his nose was almost touching the tip of her nose now. "Drunk..." Serenity couldn't tell whether he was smiling or crying."Serenity, I'm not drunk, my mind is crystal clear..."His scent was all around her. He said he wasn't drunk, but if he wasn't, he wouldn't be saying something like that."Please don't abandon me," he murmured, his voice hoarse. His dark, pain-filled eyes looked like they were pleading.It was as if her promise meant the world to him.Knowing full well that he was drunk at the moment and that he might not even remember what she said tomorrow morning, Serenity still couldn't help but say, "Why are you saying these things to me, Jackson? You're asking me not to a

But the pain she was bracing herself for never arrived.She tentatively opened her eyes and saw him looking at her hand intently. He asked softly, "Does it hurt?"A wave of emotions that even she couldn't describe washed over her, making her nose turn slightly stuffy.He always gave her the illusion that he cherished her, but the truth was, he could dump her anytime without any hesitation!"Jackson Valor, if you don't love me, then don't kiss me! And don't ask me whether the hand that slapped you hurt! It'll only make me feel disgusted!"She glared at him and forcefully pulled her hand back from his fingers.Her long hair was in disarray. Her face alternated between pale and flushed. A few strands of hair fell messily onto her cheeks. Her dark, almond-shaped eyes were full of anger.Jackson's face paled. His body swayed unsteadily, and a nauseous feeling suddenly came over him. Covering his mouth with his hand, he staggered off the bed and headed for the bathroom.Soon after th

"If it makes you feel better, you can just pretend that I don’t care about you," she said. Using practically all of her strength, she helped him up from the tiled bathroom floor and half-dragged him over to the bed so he could lie down.He was obviously in great discomfort. He curled up like a shrimp on the bed. His pretty face was contorted in pain. His teeth were chattering, and his hands were holding his stomach.Serenity suddenly recalled that time he had a stomach cramp. Was he suffering from gastric pain again?It's possible. After all, he drank a lot of wine today. Moreover, before he started drinking with Lucas, he... didn't eat any food, did he? She didn't see him eat anything."Are you having a stomach ache?" she asked.His lips tightened and he didn't answer. His eyes kept staring at her."Should I call Connor and have him pick you up and take you to the hospital?" she asked."No," he finally opened his mouth and said with some difficulty, "I thought... you don't love

Serenity... Serenity...Why was his mind filled with her name, her voice and her face at a time like this?Why did her rejection make him despair?He felt like a drowning man losing his last straw!The pain... it hurt so much that he could barely breathe!He heard the door open. He heard footsteps. He heard the sound of things being put down.Had she returned? Once again, she went out in the middle of the night to purchase medicine for him, just like back in the old rental house.That time, when he opened his eyes and saw her, he felt a throb in his heart for the first time ever.Was that the moment he fell in love with her? "Here, take this medicine. It'll make you feel better," her voice echoed in his ears as she helped him sit up.He could smell her scent. He slowly opened his eyes. Her calm and pretty face was in front of him, and he suddenly felt a little less lonely. Every cell in his body told him that he desired her! He wanted her to stay by his side, just like thi

Jackson did not know how much time had passed, but after a while, the pain in his stomach gradually eased.He slowly climbed out of bed and approached Serenity.She was breathing evenly, so she was probably asleep.He leaned down, enduring the discomfort, and carefully lifted her up. He carried her to the bed, put her down and tucked her in gently.His eyes lingered on her face.Earlier, a thought flitted past his mind... If things were truly over between him and her for good, he... might not be able to go on living!He would have lost his reason to go on living!A self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It appeared that... she was still in control of his life and death after all!He thought by breaking up with her, he could take back control of his own life and she would not be able to influence him anymore. He did not want to commit the same mistake his father did – giving up his life after being betrayed by a woman.However, in the end, he realized that

“……” 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
