"Jackie..." Morris pleaded, his voice filled with embarrassment and guilt, "I... Can I still learn the piano with you? Even if you don’t want to be friends anymore, I still want to learn the piano with you. I’ll learn lots of pieces – whatever you want to hear, I promise I'll play it for you."His voice trembled with emotion.Jacqueline hesitated, but the things she heard earlier echoed in her mind. She tried to pull her hand free of his grip. "There's no need. I don’t want to hear you play the piano anymore. Morris, I don’t like being used, and I don’t want my family to be used either. I used to love your playing, but not anymore."With that, she got into the car with the driver, leaving him behind.The black vehicle slowly drove away, fading from Morris' view.He stood there, staring blankly at the departing car, his fragile body trembling with overwhelming fear.Does Jackie... hate him now?Would he never play the piano with her, attend classes together, or even see her anymo

He approached his daughter's room and lightly knocked on the door. When there was no response, he gently opened the door and stepped inside.As soon as he entered, he heard his daughter sobbing. The sound made Jackson frown, his heart aching for her. Among his children, Jackie took after Serenity the most, and she was also a girl, so she had always been his favorite. Seeing her cry filled him with deep sorrow.He walked over and said softly, "Jackie, why are you crying? Are you sad because the Yale family used you?"Jacqueline stiffened, then looked up at her father. Her tear-filled eyes deepened his heartache, and he began to regret his decisions.If he had known this would happen, he would have lied and said they couldn’t find Morris. She would have been disappointed, but it would have been better than seeing her in such pain."Don't cry. Just tell Daddy what you want. Whatever it is, Daddy will make it happen for you," Jackson promised.Through her sniffles, Jacqueline said,

"Yes," Jackson said. This would serve as a good lesson for his daughter, albeit a painful one. "You can only speak to the people you trust, not just anyone."Jacqueline listened to her father, and her mind traveled to the look on Morris' face before she had left. Morris had given her a pleading look, pulling her hand. Why had he looked at her like that?Jacqueline loved Morris' music and wanted to be his friend. It would be nice if he hadn’t used her. She felt sad at the thought, and it seemed she would not hear his music again. -The weather got colder at the end of the year. The city was filled with a festive holiday atmosphere with a mere couple of days left before New Year. Winter arrived, and Coco curled into a ball, keeping herself warm. Her husband was constantly afraid she would get cold, so she had to wear more layers and dress warmly to stop him from worrying. Coco thought she would be exhausted during pregnancy, but it seemed Lucas had it harder than her. Lucas ca

Lucas must be in the study at this hour. Sure enough, she arrived at the study to find the lights on.Coco opened the door and saw Lucas sitting at the writing desk, working on the computer and looking through the papers at hand.When she entered, he was startled and glanced up at her. "Why are you awake?""I got a leg cramp," she whimpered. Lucas stood up sharply and strode toward her. "Sit down. I'll give you a massage.""Don't worry about it. Go ahead with your work," Coco urged. She wanted him to finish his work and sleep early instead of delaying him."Let me," Lucas insisted, hoping to ease her leg cramps. Since he was pretty insistent this time, she had no choice but to go along with him. Coco sat on the couch, staring at her husband. Lucas would listen to her most of the time, but she would surrender whenever he insisted.Grabbing Coco's legs, Lucas rested her legs on his thighs like he always did. "Which leg is cramping?""My left leg," she said.Lucas rolled up he

Coco grinned, her fingers trailing over his face. "Hm?" Lucas shot her a glance."Don't mind me," Coco laughed dryly. "My husband is so handsome. I just can't stop."After rubbing her left leg, he switched to her right.Unable to resist the seductive look on his face, she touched him, her fingers moving down from his cheeks to his neck. His Adam's apple was so prominent, and she could not resist touching it. Lucas did his best to hang onto his self-control, but he could barely resist while she kept stroking his throat like a toy.Eyes narrowed, Lucas turned to his wife with a warning gaze. "You keep touching me. How long are you going to do this?" he rasped. "Huh?" Coco jolted in surprise. The look on his face told her she had been pushing him to his limits. "Well… Um…""You love this?" Lucas' voice dropped dangerously low, his gaze intent.Her face flushed pink. She tried to withdraw her hand, but he moved one step faster, pressing her hand against his neck. "Are you doi

Coco covered her mouth and yawned. Lucas had slept much later than her yesterday, but he seemed more energetic than her."Still sleepy?" Lucas seemed to be in good spirits."Yeah…" She yawned, still feeling drowsy."You can nap in the car later," he said, helping her dress.Closings her eyes, Coco let him dress her. She seemed to have gotten used to this. She could be a little bit shy with him while awake, but not when the cloud of sleepiness filled her mind.After dressing her in her shirt and pants, he helped put on her socks on bended knees. Bending over became harder as her pregnancy progressed. Since then, he had been helping her put on her socks and shoes.Coco glanced down at Lucas squatting before her, fully awakened by this time."Lucas, you're gonna be a great dad," Coco said abruptly.Lucas tilted his chin slightly, looking up at her. "Why all of a sudden?""I just think you're very good at taking care of people. You'll raise our kids well," she said, the thought of

Coco could not recognize the stranger, but she was definitely not a familiar face. From her question, she might be acquainted with Lucas."I am," Coco replied. "And you are?"The stranger took off her mask, and Coco immediately recognized her as Jayce Tyler! Jayce had risen to fame about ten years ago. Although no longer as popular as before, she was still active on TV in supporting roles."Hello," Coco greeted her. "You must be Jayce. I've seen your TV shows."It was not surprising to meet celebrities in this particular hospital. After all, it was the hospital where most celebrities and high-profile people would come, especially for the obstetrics and gynecology clinic. "Nice to meet you," Jayce greeted back, looking at Coco's already obvious belly. She sighed a little, "I never thought I'd see you here."Coco puzzled, "What?""Nothing. I've always wanted to talk to you," Jayce said."When I first met Lucas, I thought he'd marry someone of high status, intellectual, or with h

Lucas' face darkened as he thought of his history of dating Jayce. Then, he rushed toward the restroom, fearing that Jayce would hurt Coco.Lucas had provided Jayce with plenty of opportunities and resources while they were dating, but Jayce's career had gone slightly downhill after they broke up, and her popularity had gradually declined. Jayce had a considerably good life even though it had been years since her peaceful breakup with Lucas. Logically speaking, Jayce had no reason to hurt Coco, but Lucas lost his judgment because of fear.Worried about Coco, Lucas rushed into the restroom just in time to see Jayce reaching out to Coco near the sink. He rushed forward, protecting Coco behind him. "Jayce! What are you up to?!" Jayce froze, her hand still hanging in mid-air. "Lucas?! W-Why are you here?""What are you doing to Coco?!" Lucas questioned again."I..." Jayce was barely coherent, still confused by Lucas' sudden entrance.Coco poked her head from behind, calming him do
