Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!: Kabanata 441 - Kabanata 450

Serenity did not stay to argue with Liliana. After she said what she wanted to say, she gestured at the nurse to take her to the next place for her next examination.Liliana stood rooted to the spot, glaring hatefully at Serenity's back. When she turned around, she saw everyone from the firm staring at her.Liliana could only smile and slink back into the group.After all that, she still did not know how Serenity could afford a VIP medical checkup package.Serenity returned to Jackson after she finished all the examinations."Are you done?" Jackson asked."Yes, but some reports will only come out this afternoon at the earliest," replied Serenity."Then, let's go out for breakfast. You haven't had breakfast yet," said Jackson."Okay," Serenity answered. She left the hospital with Jackson."What do you want to eat?" he asked."Let's just go grab something nearby," she said. It was only a little past nine, so a lot of breakfast places nearby were still open."No problem." He sm

"There's a second hand vendor down the road. I'll sell the bedding and the pots and pans to him for some money. I can still wear these clothes and shoes, so I'll bring them back with me."Jackson checked out the clothes and shoes that Serenity wanted to bring back. Although some of the clothes looked like they were still in good condition, they were all obviously pretty old and were already out of style. Their colors have also faded due to age.She probably already had them before she went to prison.However, he did not say anything. Even though he really wanted to spend money on her and replace all these things into newer and better ones, it had to be done gradually, one step at a time.He was afraid that he would scare her off if he was too hasty. After all, it took him a lot of effort to make her lower her guard around him just a little."Why don't you wait here for a bit. I'll be back in a while," said Serenity. She moved to pick up the pots and pans and bedding, intending to

He slowly loosened up, but still held her in his arms. "Sis, never say you would break up with me again, okay?"He lowered his head. To her surprise, she saw that his dark eyes were filled with panic. It was an emotion that she had never seen in his eyes before.It was as if hearing her say that she wanted to break up with him was something that would overwhelm him with panic.Was she really... that important to him? So important that... he could not even bear to hear the hypothetical scenario of her breaking up with him?Serenity's chest felt stuffy. Her heart went out to him. Almost instinctively, she raised her hands and hugged him back, gently."Okay, I'll never say I'd break up with you again." And just like that, she made an "eternal" promise to him.At that moment, she didn't stop to think what kind of price lay behind a promise like that. All she wanted at the time was for him to stop looking so sad.Because... it made her feel sad too.That afternoon, Serenity and Jac

"Okay," answered Serenity.After Serenity put her phone away, Jackson asked, "Was it Lisa?""Yeah.""Did she ask Terry White to help you look into your case?" he inquired further."Not exactly," answered Serenity, "She only asked Terry White to help me investigate one of the witnesses who's in San Marco right now. She said the witness is currently detained by the police, so there might be a way to get some information out of him. We're planning to go to San Marco tomorrow."Although Lisa didn't go into detail, Serenity knew some of the tricks of the trade since she used to be a lawyer.How could it be that easy to get words out of someone in custody? There's no way Lisa was capable of doing that. It must be Terry White at work again.The problem was, Lisa now owed Terry White another favor even though this was Serenity's problem.How much had Lisa sacrificed for her by now? Would she ever be able to pay Lisa back? Serenity thought about it with a heavy heart. She did not notice

"Nothing. I just want to hold you like this for a while," he said softly as he buried his face deep in the nape of her neck and took in her scent.It looked as if simply holding her like this gave him a lot of satisfaction.Serenity felt like there's a hint of childishness to Jackson's behavior for some reason, as if he's a child who's clinging to a precious toy and refusing to let go.And she was that toy.Serenity raised her hand and gently hugged Jackson back.The moment her hand touched him, she felt his body tremble slightly. A few moments later, he murmured in her ear, "Sis, I like it when you hug me like this. Will you hug me for a while longer?"His soft voice was coquettish, making it impossible for her to refuse."Okay," she answered. She kept hugging him, letting time tick away quietly...The next morning, Lisa arrived at the Valor Residence right on time. However, she did not come alone. Terry White was with her. In fact, Terry was the one who drove the car.Howev
