Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!: Kabanata 1861 - Kabanata 1870

But Jackson, owing to self-deception or willful blindness, would rather believe everything she said and even consider her lies as the truth. Her lies seemed to be exposed only when it came to the time to choose and the inevitable tests in life, making it impossible for him to continue the self-deception."I'll stay here tonight. Leave me alone and go home," Jackson said coldly, but as he felt a pair of hands wrap around him from behind, his body stiffened.Serenity hugged Jackson, pressing her face against his back. Jackson heard her voice ringing in his ears. "I won't plead for Mary anymore, but Jack, you should know that Edward and Mary have helped me a lot. You don't understand how hard it was for me to find a living in a city I'm unfamiliar with. I felt so helpless without any memory of the past, and I had a child with me. It wasn't until I met Edward and Mary that I could finally catch my breath and take a break."After a pause, she hugged him tighter, mustering the courage

"But have you thought about the future? What if Terry finds out about the child one day? What if he wants the child?" Serenity asked.Lisa immediately replied, "The child is mine! I won't give my child to anyone!""But he can file a lawsuit to get the child's custody," Serenity said, reminding Lisa of Wilson and Clara's case. "Did you forget how Wilson sued Clara and tried to fight for Yanny's custody?"Lisa's face paled, and she stopped eating her dessert. "Can he… Possibly win the child's custody?""If he's serious about it and gets the best lawyer to help him, there's at least a fifty percent chance he'll get custody when the kid turns two," Serenity stated.Lisa gritted her teeth, clenching her hands into fists. Serenity sighed. "Things might get ugly, Lisa. I'll do all I can to help, but… Why did it come to this? I thought you were planning to start over with him?""We can't start over. Terry never loved me," Lisa said, bitter about the relationship. "He told me he never

Jackson was in his office, reviewing the paperwork at hand. When Serenity came in, he heard the noise and glanced up to find Serenity in his office. "What brings you here?" asked Jackson."Where is Edward and Mary?" Serenity questioned."What? Are you here to question me?" he said, and she could see his eyes getting cold."Mary has a fever. At her age, a little fever can cause all sorts of illnesses. I know you want Mary to atone for her sins, but Jack, you should get a doctor for her first," Serenity urged.Jackson stood up and walked over to her. "What? You think I'm holding them hostage?""Aren't you?" Serenity asked in reply."I got them a quiet place, allowing that woman to repent. Edward is free to leave at any time. As for the woman I once called Mom… She can leave, but she'll end up in prison right after she leaves." Jackson leaned down as he spoke, giving Serenity a smirk, almost as though he was mocking her gently.Serenity's breath hitched. She suddenly understood why

Mary had a fever! But right now, she had no idea what the situation was, let alone where Edward and Mary were!Just then, someone said, "Was it a nightmare?"Serenity suddenly trembled, feeling a shadow looming over her. She stared blankly at the person in front of her.It was Jack!But at this moment, the room was dimly lit. She could only vaguely make out his silhouette and was unable to see his expression clearly."What did you dream about?" he asked."Nothing... I don't really remember," she replied vaguely.Really? His gaze flickered slightly in the dim light as he gently touched her cheek, knowing full well what she had dreamt about.She dreamt about him and about that woman and Edward, right?Jackson heard her calling his name in her dreams, along with Edward and... that woman!"Sorry for waking you up. I'll go wash my face," Serenity said as she pulled back the covers. She got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.She closed the bathroom door behind her and look

Lucas regretted the countless times when he had just been slightly out of reach. He thought about it often. Back then, when she had come to him for help...If he had intervened, could their fate have been rewritten?Or... was it really as Serenity said? No matter what he did, the person she loved would always be Jackson?Just then, Lucas's phone rang. He picked it up and frowned.The person using this number usually wouldn't call him, unless...Lucas answered and heard a voice on the other end, "Master Lucas, someone has come with the amethyst flower, asking us to find the whereabouts of two individuals."Lucas's grip tightened on the phone, and then he instructed the caller, "Whatever the person demands, fulfill all of her requests.""Understood, Master Lucas." The call ended.Lucas looked down at his phone, a hint of contemplation crossing his features. He had left that address just in case, fearing that Serenity might really encounter some difficulties.But he hadn't ex
