My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 206
Serenity then heard herself singing ‘Walk of Life’ in her childish voice."W-what if we get caught again? What if we can't escape?" The little boy's voice rang again."Silly. Why can't we escape? I'll definitely get you out!""If you leave me behind, you'll surely escape.""I won't leave you behind! I promised to protect you, so I will protect you! I'm not afraid of those bad guys!""Why won't you leave me?""Because we're friends!""Ah!" Serenity jolted out of sleep and sat up from the bed. When her eyes fluttered open, all she saw was the dim light.She was still in her rented place!Serenity breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the time. It was only 3 am.Was that a dream? She seemed to have dreamed about her younger self. She had been talking to a boy and singing the song ‘Walk of Life’ by Teresa.'Oh, God.' Serenity wondered how she could have such a dream. Did she dream of singing the song because she had listened to it countless times in Lucas's car earlier?Howev

The part-time job Xyla introduced was acting as an extra. Serenity only needed to register her name and leave a contact number on the line to apply for the job. They would not check her records.A background actor would receive a daily rate of 80 dollars, and lunch was provided. Dinner would be provided in case of overtime, but no overtime would be paid. According to Xyla, Serenity could work as a background actor during her rest day. She would be free, anyway, and she could earn money each extra day she worked.Serenity had a few rest days in a month. If she could work on every rest day, she would have a few hundred dollars extra in that month.A few hundred dollars would not mean much to most, but it was good enough for Serenity.At the end of the shift, Serenity looked at the finished gloves and called Jackson. "The gloves are ready. Should I send them over, or would you prefer to send someone over to pick them up?""I'll come and get it," Jackson said."Alright, then," Sere

"Y-you came." Serenity spoke, but her throat felt dry. She moved sideways and let Jackson into the room."Have you been waiting, Sis?" Jackson smiled and went to the table. Then, he saw the papers spread out on the table. Serenity had left the case file on the table and did not have time to clean up.Jackson's dark eyes narrowed slightly. He reached out, picked up some of the documents, and glanced at them. "Hmm? Are you looking at the case again?"Serenity stiffened slightly. She did not know his true identity before and had mentioned the case to him. After learning of his real identity, talking about the case again made her feel awkward and helpless.Serenity might think she was not guilty, but the car accident had indeed happened, and his late fiancee had died in the car accident!"Sis? What's wrong?" When she did not answer, he looked up at her."I'm just..." She swallowed and answered, "Casually looking." "By the way, you mentioned that you were accused and not guilty. Sin

"Why not?" Jackson asked in reply."I would eventually have to marry someone in my life. Would an early or late marriage make a difference? Besides, Mira is quiet and obedient enough. An arranged marriage with the Hall family would help the Valor family's business in the shipping industry, so why not?"Serenity felt a little unsettled listening to Jackson's business mindset.Jackson spoke as if he had no love at all. Even marriage was just business to him. For a man like him, what was important to him?"But now, I think it'd be nice to marry a woman I find interesting," Jackson added with a smile, his blazing gaze focused on her.Jackson's words seemed to imply something, and Serenity turned away uncomfortably. She told herself not to overthink. Both of them were simply living in two different worlds. They were very different. She thought it would be unlikely for them to cross paths again after giving him the gloves."Oh, um..." Serenity said hurriedly, "I'll give you the gloves.

"Yes, it is." Serenity was certain. "For me, the truth is more important than anything else!""The car accident happened three years ago," Jack reminded her. "There might have been surveillance footage and evidence, but they would be gone by now. It's hard to overturn the conviction, let alone find out the truth."Serenity let out a bitter laugh. She naturally understood his intention. Jackson would overturn the conviction for her, but the truth did not matter to him. Mira's thoughts and her suicidal driving which had led to the car accident—it did not matter.Jackson had never had any feelings for Mira. Mira's unfortunate death meant nothing to him. All he had lost was just a candidate for marriage. "Jackson, you never loved Mira at all," Serenity suddenly said in an unmistakable tone.Jackson lowered his gaze slightly, "I never said I loved her.""Then who do you love?" When her question sounded, an answer instantly came to his mind.He looked at her for a moment in a daze. A

She could not help thinking what an irony her life had been.She said nothing and instead just walked over to the side of the drawers and pulled out a pair of gloves."These are for you," she handed them to him, "as promised."He examined the gloves carefully before trying them on, after which he commented, "The knitting is done very well, and they're really warm too, just like the scarf that you knitted for me—really warm and comfortable to wear.""You didn't have to wear that scarf," she told him. "I'm sure people could tell at a glance that it doesn't match your outfit at all."In contrast to Jackson's expensive high-end clothes, her scarf only looked cheap and shoddy, not to mention how rough and unrefined the handwork looked."It doesn't match?" He raised his brows and chuckled. "Sis, I don't care what other people think about this scarf, only how I feel about it, and I think it matches me perfectly!"He paused to touch the scarf and then added, "Besides, as long as it's so

Serenity's role as an extra today was to be a maid. All she needed to do was stand at the designated spot set by the director and keep her head low. Not only that, she would not be the only maid in the scene, but merely one of a group of maids. They had to wait till the main characters walked by, then, at the director's call, all of them were supposed to kneel down in unison, then say, "My lord. My lady."And that was it.Because the scene involved kneeling, her pay was increased almost twofold. Serenity thought about it and decided to do it anyway since it was just an act. Besides, even some popular actors had to kneel in their roles. When survival was on the line, one must swallow one's pride and not care too much about one's knees.The makeup room for the extras was a big spacious room with many makeup artists in it. All the extras, whether male or female, had to wait in line here to get their makeup done. The makeup artists worked really fast on each extra, barely needing five t

After all, Serenity had neither stolen nor robbed anyone for this job. She was merely doing honest work in exchange for money."Why didn't you tell me if you wanted to work as an extra?" Aria asked her. "I could've landed you a role with a line or two. It would've earned you much more than what you make as an extra!"As Aria spoke, she deliberately stroked her hair to show off the expensive watch on her wrist. Serenity noticed this and was amused."I'm not the kind of person who would trick my own sister to have a drink with someone just to ask for a role with a few more lines," said Serenity."You..." Aria's expression soured. She knew that Serenity was mocking her for trying to offer Serenity up to an assistant director in the past. But within a few moments, she looked as if she had suddenly thought of something. She looked Serenity up and down as she asked her, "You're short of money, aren't you? Is that why you're working as an extra? Don't you have anyone to lend you some mone
