Morgan never expected that Lorie would not spare him but sue him for harboring Luna, the criminal.
When he was brought back from abroad by the police, Lorie was waiting for him gracefully in front of the police station.
He was abroad these days but still tried to friend Lorie on WhatsApp. From time to time, he sent her messages, a scenery picture he took, and made small talk with her.
And Lorie occasionally texted back, saying the scenery was beautiful, which made Morgan believe that Lorie forgave him and ceased being angry with him.
As Lorie replied to him a few more times, Morgan began to imagine things.
He imagined that he would return home, pursue Lorie and then be with her again after Luna went to jail.
Now he was unable to make a living himself, and Anya would take care of him if he made up with Lorie.
Also, Anya had gotten back together with Phil. With a capable son-in-law like Phil, he could still live well for the rest of his life.
But what Morgan didn't realize Lorie just wanted to keep track of his whereabouts by contacting him so that it didn't take much for the police to arrest him abroad and take him home.
"Lorie, you–" Morgan didn't realize Lorie's intention until he saw Lorie at the entrance of the police station.
It turned out that Lorie just wanted to monitor his movements.
Although Lorie sat in a wheelchair and could only look up at Morgan, her powerful vibe was not undiminished.
She looked at Morgan and taunted, "Morgan, what makes you think I'm still attached to you?"
Morgan was embarrassed, as he had never doubted it until now.
"Do you know why I sue you as well? I wanna make you realize your place in my mind and stop you from pestering me in the future."
Lorie's harsh words humiliated Morgan and he completely realized Lorie's disgust with him at the same time.
Harboring a criminal was not a felony, but the punishment was hard for him to bear.
Lorie felt so happy to see Morgan being forced into the police station. She had never been more relieved than now since she woke up.
Lorie could finally live a peaceful life after making sure Luna would be prisoned and shattering Morgan's wishful thinking.
As for Gracie and Jackson, Lorie learned from Anya that they left Riverside City with a small amount of money.
Morgan called his parents in the hometown to ask them to take Gracie and Jackson in but was rejected.
His parents never admitted Luna, Gracie, and Jackson as their family, and even almost disowned Morgan after he cheated on Lorie.
Morgan called to ask them to take in Gracie and Jackson temporarily, especially Jackson who was still young, but they refused.
They had since long been disappointed with Morgan, so they would not offer any help to him.
After dealing with Luna, Anya wanted to stay in Riverside City to keep Lorie company but was urged by Lorie to hurry back to Ustistan.
She was going to stay until school started, but Lorie didn't agree, "I'm fine. I don't need you to stay with me. You should be with Chris and Phil."
"I only return home several times a year, and this time the main reason that I come back is to keep you company," Anya said straightforwardly.
