Coco was ready to do whatever it took to be a part of Lucas' life, even if it meant adapting to challenges such as these. Lucas realized this, so he grabbed Coco's hand and gently kissed her palm."Hmm?" Coco stared at him, her eyes filled with surprise."You're a good wife. It's a privilege and honor to have married you," Lucas said."I am honored to take you as my husband." She gave him a bright smile.Over the next few days, Coco and Lucas spent their days exploring the city. It was an art city with a strong comic book vibe. Coco even visited some of the famous cartoonists based in this city.At night, she would video call her friends and chat with them. Sometimes, Minnie, Serenity, Clara, Summer, and Lisa would join the video call together, and it felt like they were having an online tea party."So, how’s your honeymoon?" Minnie asked."It’s great," Coco answered."Maybe when you get back from your honeymoon, you'll be pregnant," Minnie teased.Coco almost spat out her d

His voice was such a low, seductive purr she could barely resist! "I understand…" Coco stammered, her face red. On the very same night, she finally realized how men could be quite petty sometimes!-Jacqueline was happy with the good news. Jackson had told her that he had found the boy she was looking for and that he had even arranged to meet the boy and his parents. While getting ready in the morning, she even picked out her favorite white dress and paired it with pink shoes and a hair clip on her hair. "When you see Morris, don't scare him," Serenity warned her daughter, who looked adorable in her white dress and pink accessories. The little girl was passionate about the piano and extremely talented at it. However, she was overenthusiastic whenever she met another kid who played well. Even so, it was rare to find a kid her age who could play well, at least to her standards. There were multiple times when Jackie met other kids who were good at the piano, and she would approach t

Standing beside Morris, Marrisa said to her son again, "Morris! Jacqueline wants to hear you play the piano, so play it for her!" What a good chance to show off his piano playing!Morris got even more flustered. He had overheard his parents' conversation at home. If Jacqueline liked his piano playing, this would be a chance for his family to rewrite their fate. His parents had high hopes for this.Part of him was still afraid. He had secretly learned to play the piano, and he only knew a few songs. What if he played horribly? What if Jacqueline hated it? What should he do then?Jacqueline frowned slightly, thinking of a way to resolve this. She had promised not to be a bully, but she really wanted Morris to play the piano for her. It seemed he was unwilling, so she offered, "How about this? I'll play a song for you, and you play one for me?"Morris blinked in surprise, obviously not expecting such an offer. He was suddenly curious about the kind of music she would play."Please?"

Jacqueline was getting more excited as she spoke. Morris stood there in a daze. He was happy to learn that he could take piano lessons with Jacqueline, but he had heard from his classmates that it cost a lot of money. It was unfortunate that his family couldn't afford it.He had mentioned to his parents that he wanted to learn piano, but they immediately refused and said they didn't have the money for it."I... my family can't afford piano lessons," he said while feeling ashamed, almost as if he was exposing a bad part of himself to her. At his age, he was already aware of the different social classes, and he knew that poor people were often looked down upon.Many of his classmates looked down on him because his family was poor."Will you be able to take classes if I give you the money?" Jacqueline asked. Money was never an issue for her.Hearing this, Morris's parents quickly said, "No way. How could we take your money for nothing, Jacqueline?" However, their expressions

"Morris is my friend, but Fred, you are very important to me!" Jacqueline answered.Frederick felt warm and fuzzy when he heard that. “So, are you saying that I’m more important than Morris?” He asked. Jacqueline nodded. Although she liked Morris’s piano playing and considered him a friend, Frederick was irreplaceable to her.Frederick's expression softened as he murmured, "Jacqueline, you are the most important person to me.” To Jacqueline, Frederick might only be “very important” because her world was filled with many significant people like her parents and siblings. But to Frederick, Jacqueline was his most important person, and he would do anything to protect her. In the master bedroom, Serenity was having a discussion with Jackson."I think Morris is a good kid, but his parents—" "Are suck-ups," Jackson interjected."I saw through their intentions. It’s understandable, though. Since Jacqueline likes Morris’s piano playing, by using their son, they could get some favo
