Semua Bab My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!: Bab 561 - Bab 570

'That's... Lucas!'He seemed slightly different than usual with his messy hair and wearing a casual white shirt and beige pants. His face was mostly in the shadows, though. His dark eyes bore into hers under the cold moonlight but with a touch of confusion instead of the usual coldness. That gaze made Serenity feel uncomfortable. It was as if he was looking at someone else through her.Lucas moved and came closer to her."Have you been drinking?" Serenity asked reflexively. She could smell the alcohol oozing from his breath."Yeah. A little." Lucas chuckled softly, his eyes watching her more intently. Serenity pursed her lips slightly. "It's late. I'm heading home. Goodbye," she said and stepped away, intending to leave.Before she could walk away, his hand grabbed hers, pulling her into his arms. She trembled in his embrace. Lucas reeked of alcohol. It was far stronger than what she had thought.He had definitely drunk more than a little wine! How much had he consumed?!"Le

Serenity felt quite amused sometimes, unsure whether to laugh or cry. Even so, she enjoyed quietly watching him from the side. It was pleasing to her eyes. She never thought the two of them could get along this way.Jackson was very focused on his work. As he quickly browsed through the documents in front of him, he continuously made notes with the pen in his hand.He was reviewing the documents at a fast speed and at the same time, multitasking on the computer and instructing his executives to follow up on the tasks. Serenity suddenly felt emotional seeing Jackson working hard. She used to hear people say men were the most attractive when they were at work. It seemed to be true.Everyone knew Jackson Valor as the king of the business world. After all, he came from the Valor family, an old money family. However, no one was born a king. He could have all the support from the Valor family, but only if he worked hard. Otherwise, someone else could dethrone him at any time. The Valo

Even after years of searching for her, he never found her again. Lucas missed that little girl so much and regretted it even more.Lucas was drunk yesterday. The long suppressed regret in his heart suddenly burst like a flood, drowning him.Lucas had no idea how he got to the restaurant. All he had in mind was to see her again. He had to see her. As if seeing Serenity would make him feel better.When Lucas met her, the Serenity in reality and the little girl in his memory constantly intertwined. As a result, he did something out of character.Although he was drunk, he remembered what he had done to her. He would not have cared if it was another woman, but Serenity was different.Not because she was Jackson's girlfriend. Rather because she was so much like the girl he imagined she would be when she grew up.Serenity was not the little girl he was searching for, but he did not want to be hated by her."No big deal. We're even," Serenity replied flatly. After all, she slapped him f

Serenity was completely taken aback. She never thought that the special guest of the event would turn out to be Aria.It was common for roadshows like this to invite a special guest as a surprise for the audience, but most of the time, the special guests would be A-List celebrities. Aria, on the other hand, was no more than a third-rate actress before she became Lucas Gomez's girlfriend and was not even that popular at all. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that her current fame was all due to Lucas. Because of him, Aria had gained much more work and income from the moment she started dating him, but apart from some advertisements that had appeared in public, everything else she was involved in—television series, music singles—were all still in production, so she had not released anything to the public yet. To put it bluntly, the sole reason she had been invited here today was because of her relationship with Lucas Gomez.Lisa turned to her friend with a guilty face a

There was a small flight of steps behind Aria, and as she staggered backward, she tripped on it and instantly fell on the floor, and she cried out in pain."I was only trying to be nice to you, Sis! Why did you have to shove me away like that..."Aria seemed to be in pain, and her eyes were welling up with tears. She looked just like an innocent angel who had been wronged.This sudden change made the fans who were gathered at the entrance turn their attention to Serenity. Many of them pulled out their phones and started to snap photos.Serenity glared icily at Aria and said, "You know full well whether or not I shoved you just now.""How could you say that, Sis? I know that... that you haven't been out of prison for long, that's why you're still emotionally unstable, so I... I won't blame you for it."Not only was Aria acting the role of the innocent and pitiful younger sister in front of everyone, but she had also just publicly announced to the world that Serenity used to be in
