My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 51
That night, Serenity was back at her place having dinner with Jackson when someone knocked on her door.She was mildly taken aback since no one had ever come to her place and knocked on her door before. Could it be her father, stepmother, and sister coming to cause trouble again?!But when she opened the door, she was surprised to find that the person standing outside was Peter Wall. He was wearing a black padded jacket, and his face was slightly flushed red. He looked at Serenity while seeming a little embarrassed as he told her, "I..."Just as he opened his mouth to speak, he noticed Jackson walking up behind Serenity, and this made him stop speaking abruptly as if he was hesitant to speak.Jackson stared straight at the man standing outside the door. He remembered the man to be one of Serenity's colleagues at the Sanitation Office and that he seemed to be interested in Serenity."What are you doing here?" he asked Peter. "Do you need my sister for something?""I..." Peter repl

"Are you falling in love with him because of what he just told you, Sis?"Jackson asked the question in a soft voice, but there was a flash of jealousy in his eyes that even he himself did not realize.His breath brushed against the tip of her nose, and such close distance disconcerted her. A sense of danger washed over her. It felt like if she failed to give him the right answer, she would instantly be bitten in the neck by a savage beast.Good lord, what was she thinking?!Serenity silently scoffed at the thought that had just crossed her mind. She reminded herself that the man in front of her was Jack, not anyone dangerous at all."I don't have any feelings for Peter," she told him. She knew that she could never reciprocate Peter's feelings. She could only apologize to him.Her short response cheered Jackson up instantly. He looked at her and asked, "Are you sure you haven't fallen in love with that guy?""Why would I lie to you about it?" she responded. Ever since she was re

In fact, at first, it was almost impossible for her to find any job that would enable her to stand on her own two feet at all."But you still shouldn't waste your time staying in this kind of job," said Xyla. "If you go on like this, you'll never find a nice man to marry!"For a woman like Xyla, what concerned her the most was marriage and how to find a suitable match."It looks like Peter doesn't mind your past," she continued, "so are you really not going to consider him? You can't find many honest and decent men like him these days, you know.""No," replied Serenity. "I can't possibly be in a relationship with Peter."Xyla paused for a moment before exclaiming, "Serenity! You aren't rejecting him because he's just a driver, are you? Granted, he's not a rich man, especially when compared to your ex-boyfriend, but...""Xyla!" Serenity interrupted her. "That's not what I thought at all! I just... I've been through so much, and I really have no desire to fall in love with anyone e

He had just gotten off work at the time when he had seen Serenity kneeling on the side of the road, trying her best to comfort a crying little girl. She had sung to the girl, danced, and made all kinds of silly and funny moves in an attempt to cheer the girl up without caring about how the people around her might think, and in the end, she had succeeded in making the girl stop crying.After that, she had bought the girl a bun and stood there while reporting to the police, never leaving the girl's side until her parents came to take her safely home.Eventually, the police had returned with the girl's family. The parents had tried to give her a hundred dollars for helping keep their daughter safe, even stuffing the money into her hands, but all she had done was smile and shake her head firmly, refusing to accept even a single cent.Once the girl had finally left with her parents, Serenity stood quietly in the same spot, staring at the young family walk away with a peaceful smile on he

"So, not only are you trying to seduce Peter, but you've also been hooking up with another man, huh?!"Quinn's shrill accusing voice suddenly rang through the air.Serenity was annoyed, but she knew that this world would never be rid of pesky people like Quinn.Jackson turned around, and his cold gaze fell on this plain-looking woman with a sharp tongue.As soon as Quinn got a good look at Jackson, astonishment flashed through her eyes. This man was even more handsome than all the actors she had seen on television! Although his thick bangs covered parts of his face, it only made her feel that if this man were to tidy up his hairstyle and change into better clothes, he could easily give all those male superstars a run for their money!Quinn was instantly struck by jealousy. How could a woman like Serenity not only steal Peter's heart but also attract such a handsome man?!Her lips curled up into a sinister smile, and she said, "Are you Serenity's friend? You're probably unaware th

In the past, Serenity would always come here for a meal with her colleagues at the law firm after work. Back then, eating here was nothing more than a normal routine after an ordinary workday, yet now, having a meal here felt like a rare treat and an extravagant one at that."It looks pretty good!" said Jackson, trying to distract Serenity by changing the subject. "I'll let you order, then."Serenity then ordered some dishes for both of them. She only chose the cheaper dishes, and the most expensive one, a shrimp dish, cost about 7 dollars. All the dishes added up to about 25 dollars, which was not that much at all, but it was still the most expensive meal Serenity had had in a long time.Jackson urged her to order more food, saying, "Don't worry, Sis, I can afford it."However, Serenity merely replied, "This is more than enough for both of us to have a nice meal. There's no need to order more food."Not long afterward, the waiter brought all the dishes to the table, and they both

Serenity raised her head ever so slightly to glance sideways. She then breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Jackson, asking, "Have you paid the bill?""Yeah.""Let's go, then," she said, grabbing her handbag. Then, as if trying to escape something, she hurried out of the restaurant."What's going on?" Jackson asked. "Are you hiding from someone?"She paused her steps. A peculiar look flashed across her face, and she said, "My former colleagues were in that restaurant, and I... I didn't want them to see me."As she spoke, she chuckled, almost as if mocking herself, and she added, "Isn't it ridiculous? They all know what has happened to me, and they must've guessed how far I've fallen now, yet I still can't face them and want to hide from them."She did not want to see the pity in their eyes. She did not want to see them feeling sorry for her.Back then, she had fought tooth and nail to build herself a successful career as a lawyer, yet now, while all her colleagues were sti

The red light soon turned green. Zeke was about to drive away, but his whole body suddenly froze when he realized that the man beside Serenity looked very familiar... The image of the only man in the whole of Solaria that he must never offend popped up in his mind.That man looked just like Jackson Valor!But how could it be him? How could Jackson Valor be with Serenity?! The idea itself was ridiculous!The car behind Zeke honked, urging him to move already, but at that moment, the man beside Serenity suddenly turned around and looked up in Zeke's direction. As soon as Zeke could see the man's face, he felt as if the blood in his body had frozen into ice.Jack... Jackson Valor?!Was it really Jackson Valor?! Sure, the man's clothes and hairstyle were different from what he remembered, but that face was simply identical to the man himself!Zeke drove away while his body was still stiff in shock, and he could not help but doubt if what he had just seen was real. Meanwhile, at 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!

"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
