Semua Bab My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!: Bab 181 - Bab 190

"Sometimes, being overly curious can be a bad thing," Lucas looked away and started the car."Mm-hmm, I know," Aria said, trying to appear docile.She had asked around and found out that Lucas Gomez liked women who listened to him. Usually, the more obedient the woman, the longer she could stay by his side. Those who tried hard to be the "exception" and wanted to be his "only one" would get dumped by him really quickly.Although she also wanted to be the "exception" and his "only one", she would not be hasty. She would take her time and make herself more important to him little by little."Lucas, thanks for the necklace you gave me earlier. I love it, but I'm afraid I won't have that many occasions to wear such a beautiful and expensive necklace," Aria first put on a happy expression, then changed it to one of regret.Little did she know how laughable Lucas found her performance, which she thought was perfect.He had simply seen way too many women acting in front of him. "You can

His jet-black eyes were fixed on her. Her drunken demeanor was coquettish and alluring. Surely, not many people had seen her like this before.Had Zeke Shaw... seen it before?Suddenly, a touch of jealousy crept into his heart. He was jealous of the fact that Zeke Shaw had once dated her. Back when she was with Zeke Shaw, did she also say his name with such a gentle voice? How intimate were they?"Do you really think I'm good looking?" he asked softly. He wanted to keep her firmly by his side just like this so that no one else could see her looking so alluring."Yeah, of course. Jack, you're the most handsome man I've ever seen." She chuckled and naughtily touched the tip of his nose with her finger as if he was an interesting toy.She was the only person that he would allow to treat him as a toy.Suddenly, her expression changed. Her smile disappeared and it was replaced by a look of sadness. "Jack, I'll be good to you, so don't leave me, okay?"Her eyes were clouded with a lay

"The problem is, they went to jail for many days because of you. Aren't you worried that they'll hold a grudge against you after they're released and try to do even worse things to you?" he asked.Serenity did not say anything. She naturally knew that her relatives would not show her any gratitude for helping them get released. They would even hold grudges against her."They're not people I care about, so it doesn't matter how they think of me or how much they hate me. I simply don't care," she said calmly.However, her calmness inexplicably annoyed him."What about me?" he suddenly asked."What?" She was too stunned to respond.He propped his hands on the edge of the bed and moved closer. "What about me? Do you care about me? Do you care how I think of you?"Serenity was dumbfounded. If he was Jack, of course she would care, but he's now Jackson Valor..."Whether I care or not shouldn't matter to you at all," she replied."What if it does?" he asked.She bit her lip, took a

People like him usually wear custom-made branded gloves!Seeing her dumbfounded face, he added, "Consider it my compensation for releasing your relatives. You should thank me for that, right?"She hesitated. "But... I don't have your measurements anymore." Back then, in order to make him the gloves, she had taken the measurements of his hands with a tape measure.But after that, because she did not intend to finish the gloves anymore, she threw the paper with the measurements away."You can just take the measurements again," he said.She had no choice but to take out the tape measure, sat down next to him and measured his hands again.Her hands inevitably made contact with his hands sometimes.Whenever her fingertips touched his hand, she would carefully move them away. She was even pinching the tape measure with her fingertips to minimize contact with his hand.Her actions made him snicker. "You were so bold last night when you hugged me and kissed me, but you wouldn't even to

"But even if I do get promoted, I still won't be good enough for you, will I?" he asked.Serenity was at a loss for words.Peter smiled wryly and added, "Actually, even before you said those things to me, I'd already thought about changing jobs. I can already see how the rest of my career will pan out if I keep working in the Sanitation Office. I want to find some new challenges before I turn 30."Challenges? If the old Serenity had to choose between an unknown life full of challenges or a stable life that had everything planned out, she would probably choose the former.But after all the things she had been through, she now knew that stability was actually the most important thing in life.Serenity took a deep breath and said, "You don't have to take what I said that day to heart. I just don't want you to keep wasting your time on me. I don't have that kind of feeling for you, so it wouldn’t work out between us."After a pause, she told him slowly and clearly, "If I really do lo
