"Speaking of which, when Lisa was pregnant, how did Morgan know that Renee was a baby girl? And why did he save Lisa and set up this arranged marriage? What is the Wood family thinking?""The Wood family wants Renee to marry Morgan eventually," Lucas said. "The Wood family always sends Renee expensive gifts on her birthday.""I heard the Wood family is secretive. Are they old money?" Coco asked. She had heard of this from Lisa before. Coco did not know much about families like this, and neither did Lisa.According to Lisa, she had not even seen Morgan's parents before. Only Morgan and his men came to visit the White family. The men with Morgan were all middle-aged and highly skilled martial arts practitioners yet very respectful to Morgan. Lisa told Coco how Morgan's men had protected Renee during an attempted kidnapping case. They restrained the kidnapper before he could even reach Renee, and Morgan had quickly taken Renee to safety. Later, Lisa learned from Terry that the kidn

All Frederick's fear about Morris disappeared just like that. He hoped Morris would be gone for good, but he had no idea if Morris would ever show himself again.Perhaps Jackie would gradually forget Morris. After all, she had not known him for long."Now that Morris is gone, are you still giving up on the piano? You can pick it up again and practice more. Jackie likes to hear you play, after all.""I won't spend too much time practicing the piano," Frederick said, his voice resolute."Dad, I'm giving up piano, and I mean it. I know no matter how hard I practice, I won't be able to create that uniqueness Jackie talked about in the sound of the piano..."Frederick tried to play less mechanically but failed. He knew it was futile trying to keep Jackie with his piano playing. It was Morris this time, and it could be someone else next time.There were plenty of talented pianists around the world. Jackie could fall in love with someone else's playing at any time.Knowing this, Freder

The adults hurried to the hotel's garden when they learned about the children's fight.The security guards surrounded the hotel garden and barred people from entering. Only the parents of those involved in the fight could get in.Coco looked at the girls, all of them with their hair messy and their dresses dirty. Even Eden, the weakest of the group, had several footprints on her dress, and her braids were loose.Wondering what had happened, Coco turned to her daughter, who looked like a little mess. Beatrice looked like she had been rolling on the ground, her pink dress torn, and one of her white shoes was missing. The boys were in a better state than the girls, but everyone could tell Micah, Morgan, Frederick, and Caden had just fought. At least the boys were wearing dark-colored clothes, unlike the girls who were all in light-colored clothing and looked so dirty.The children on the other side of the fight were all about the same age, ranging from seven to thirteen. There were

Eden would not let anyone badmouth Aunt Coco.Beatrice and Eden were like two angry little monsters—as if they would jump on the other children and fight them again if they refused to apologize.Coco watched the two angry girls demand the other party to apologize, and she saw how the other children got hurt in the fight. Tears welled in her eyes even when she realized the girls were defending her. She stepped toward the girls, squatted down, and hugged the two girls. "Thank you, girls. There are all kinds of people in this world. We can't possibly ask everyone not to say anything bad about us. However, we can make ourselves strong so that these things won't hurt us."Coco studied the girls before her. "Please don't get into a fight for me again. Even if someone says something bad about me, it's fine. I just don't want you guys to get hurt."Eden understood Coco's wishes.Beatrice listened but did not quite understand her mother's words. "But they…" She was reluctant to let it

"I want to know his name," Beatrice said."But he doesn't want to tell you. You have to respect his wish," Coco urged."Oh." Beatrice pouted and let go of her hand reluctantly. Then, she turned a wide grin at him, "Anyway, I'm sure you'll tell me your name one day!"Beatrice was filled with confidence, as if certain this would happen one day.Lexington frowned and grunted before leaving with the other children. Not far away, the bodyguards followed the children.Then, it was time for the parents to check on their kids and lecture them.Serenity and Jackson were the busiest among them. All their four children had been involved in the fight, after all. Fortunately, the youngest, Eden, had only called for help instead of participating in the fight.According to Eden, she had wanted to join the fight after calling for help, but her sister, Jacqueline, had held her back. Jacqueline said Eden would be in the way, and the older kids would have to divide their attention into protecting
