Mary was delighted and spoke more, seeing that Zuko was interested."Let me tell you secretly... Actually, we all suspect that Lina's parents kidnapped her!""What?" Zuko was somewhat shocked, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "Mrs. Nash, you can't make baseless accusations! I know best what kind of people my parents-in-law are!""You, child, I knew you'd take your mother-in-law's side!" Mary pouted. "But I see that you're an honest child and don't want you to be deceived by them! Those two, they may look honest, but who knows what they're really like? Only time will reveal their true nature!"Besides, I'm not making baseless accusations. Just 20 years ago, they didn't have a child yet. They went to the big hospital in Centrolis for medical help, and when they came back after several months, they were carrying this girl!"Hah!" Mary became more excited as she spoke. "They insisted that they were already pregnant before going to Centrolis, but they didn't notice it, and she was born

Zuko was stunned, and a chill ran down his spine.Lina approached slowly, her smile growing, but her eyes were ice-cold. "Oh, Zeke, such a talented person wasted in our small shop!"The corners of Zuko's lips twitched. "What... are you saying?""I'm saying…" Lina fixed her gaze on his face. "Someone has an only daughter in their family, and all the family assets will belong to the daughter in the future! Heh! What a great deal! Isn't it?""Well..."Facing Lina, who only reached his chest, Zuko did not even dare to move, standing there obediently like an elementary school student being scolded.However, he felt like laughing seeing Lina, who was full of jealousy. She was jealous, but what he felt was sweetness.Zuko could not help but curl his lips, but his smile annoyed Lina.She bit her lip, tightly gripping the lunchbox in her hand until her knuckles turned white.When she returned home after her lunch break, she heard that he was alone in the shop. Worried that he would not

That evening, after Zuko finished his work and returned home, Lina was still sitting on the couch with the TV on, but her mind was not on the television at all. She watched as the man entered the house, changed into slippers as usual, and took the empty food container into the kitchen, washing it leisurely.He acted as if nothing had happened! He had even eaten up all the chicken and noodles!Lina bit her lip and waited for him to come and coax her.After a while, the sound of running water stopped in the kitchen, and Zuko dried his hands and walked out. He actually sat down beside her.Lina was slightly appeased, and her lips were about to curl up when the man suddenly blurted out, "Are you still angry?"Lina thought that he was not completely clueless. She responded with a muffled hum and turned away to avoid looking at him.Zuko cleared his throat, and a hint of gentleness appeared on his cold face, though he still maintained a serious expression. "Um... let's talk about it?"

"What? Couldn't find anything?" Fred was shocked.The Grist Group's surveillance system was considered top-notch in the industry, using various means to monitor employees, and it had become an open secret throughout the entire group.In the face of this invasion of privacy and violation of human rights, most employees dared not speak up and chose to endure silently.Yet, these methods seemed to have no effect on Zeke?Fred regained his composure and continued to ask, "What's the reason… that nothing can be found?"The subordinate answered, "We first checked Zeke's date of employment, and based on that date, we retrieved all the surveillance records, but we found nothing... It's as if this person had never been to the Grist Group!"And his truck... We've checked it too. The tracking system on the truck has been malfunctioning all along, and besides that truck, he hasn't driven any other vehicle, so..."Fred could not stand to listen any longer and snarled, "Useless bunch of trash

His elder brother's management was not good. The Grist Group had actually been in decline for a long time. If it were not for his hard work in supporting it all these years, the Grist Group would not be where it was today.Just as things were settling down, another issue with a batch of beverage formulas emerged, and now Violet's problem surfaced. Fred did not want to be a pawn for others anymore!"If he really is Zuko..." he murmured to himself, a faint smile appearing on his face.Immediately, he picked up the phone and called his assistant, saying, "Book me a table at the same hotel as last time! And find a way to arrange a meeting with Lina Jenner for me…"Forget it." He changed his mind. "I'll go and meet her myself!"Lina had been cautious of everyone from the Grists because of Violet, so going to meet her in person would show his sincerity.After hanging up, Fred went to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror, tidying his hair and smiling in satisfaction.In Cen

Zuko was doubtful as he listened to Toph.The inpatient department?Pamela had just returned to the Thompsons not long ago and was still unfamiliar with everything. Was she coming to the hospital for her own medical appointment or to visit someone else?If she was visiting someone, who could be so important to her besides her biological parents, Nicholas and Linda?Zuko's gaze darkened, a hint of coldness flickering in his gaze."I'll stop here for now..." Toph's injured leg was already inconvenient, so chasing after someone was even more difficult. "I'll catch up to her soon. You can rest assured that I'll make her get a DNA test this time!""Alright, be careful," Zuko replied before quickly hanging up the phone.Despite his injured leg, Toph was physically strong, and the injury did not hinder him much. Pamela, being a girl, walked slowly with small steps, so he quickly caught up to her.Pamela appeared somewhat panicked and alert, frequently turning her head to look around.

Toph told Zuko about the strange incident he encountered at the hospital.Upon hearing that, Zuko sneered, "It seems that Pammy's being controlled by Melvin. If she's the real Pammy, it means Melvin's involved in kidnapping her back then!""What if she's fake?" Toph added, "Then it means that everything's orchestrated by Melvin!""Keep it down for now." Zuko lowered his voice. "Not only because we don't have enough evidence, but also... to consider Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda's feelings. They believe they've found their daughter. Until the truth is revealed, we shouldn't dampen their spirits.""Yeah, I understand... Now that Melvin's surely wary of us, we need to act low-key!""Cough, it's you, not me." Zuko laughed. "We can start tracking after your leg heals. If you keep hobbling around on crutches, anyone with eyes and ears will know what you're up to!"Toph rolled his eyes. "Hey, aren't you planning to come back anytime soon? My foot is injured. Won't you come and visit me?

Dave had overheard his sister's phone call and became worried that she might be deceived since it did not sound like she was meeting a friend. While his sister was not paying attention, he sneaked into her room and found a note on her desk."Bro, my sister's going on a date!" Dave said, already booking a ride on his phone. "Hurry, get in the car quickly and go after her!"Zuko looked at him gratefully. He thought to himself that he would repay this great favor in the future.In the car, he tightly held the note in his hand and read it repeatedly. It was the same hotel as last time—Best Level, the revolving rooftop restaurant. He did not need to think twice to know who had invited Lina.In fact, during the last time there, Zuko had sensed that the way that person looked at Lina was abnormal. It was understandable, though. Lina was the kind of girl who was hard to resist.But she was his wife!Even though the marriage certificate was fake, his desire to be with her was genuine!Zu

"Only Morpheus and Sephy aren't like that. They respect and understand me. Sephy told me once, 'One's appearance doesn't indicate anything. A clean heart is what truly matters!'"Rebecca chuckled dismissively."You're a psychologist, yet you fail to grasp this," Wynn said coldly. "Actually, I pity you. You could have stepped out, yet you insist on dwelling on the trivialities."Morpheus has psychological barriers, a consequence of returning from the battlefield. No one has cured his PTSD except Sephy... It shows that a true psychologist is never just a title."What truly heals everything is love!"-One particular morning a year later, sunlight streamed through sheer cream curtains onto the floor.Persephone was sound asleep when she suddenly felt something pressing down on her... Then, Morpheus' strong arms wrapped around her slender waist. She drowsily opened her eyes to find him sealing her lips with heated kisses.Over the year, his kissing skills had improved, and Persepho

With Morpheus' involvement, the police didn't slack off and quickly found Rebecca.That day, Rebecca was preparing to escape from a small port. The boat she had found was an illegally operating one.As she was about to board, piercing sirens sounded nearby.The boat owner, enraged upon hearing the sirens, grabbed Rebecca by her hair and pushed her into the water.Rebecca screamed for help, but he roared, "I didn't expect you to be sent by the cops!""I'm not..." Rebecca choked on water. "Sir, let's leave now. Your boat is fast. As long as we reach the open sea, no one will catch you!""Dream on!" The boat owner wanted to strangle her. "Do you not understand? These sirens are from the royal guards! Who did you bitch provoke?"Rebecca was dumbfounded. Being a foreigner, she naturally didn't understand the local affairs in the Southeast Aciatic region.The police and royal guards quickly caught up, armed, and surrounded them.Rebecca turned pale and trembled all over, her gaze gr

"You had no choice on the battlefield."Persephone looked at him with her crystal eyes. There was a magical power in them. Even if a devil was tearing him apart, her eyes would always bring him back to light.She smiled and caressed his cheek. "Though you killed your father, you saved the country.""Do you really… think so?"She nodded. "You're not at fault. He was the one who made a mistake. You were just fulfilling your job as a general to protect the country."But I also understand that he's your father who brought you up, after all. You guys must have had happy days before that happened, right?"Morpheus held his head low in silence."You did well as the protector of the country," she said softly. "But as a son, you can secretly pay homage to him."Persephone held his hand. "Reconcile with your father, Morpheus. You'll also reconcile with yourself by doing that, okay?"He was stunned for a long time and felt a lump in his throat.-Morpheus stayed with Persephone in the

"No way!" Christopher smirked, glancing at Morpheus. "To him, you're his only princess! I just got lucky for the princess carry, thanks to you!""Yeah, at least you're self-aware!" Persephone nodded, rubbing her chin."We've known each other for so long! What kind of person do you think I am?" Christopher laughed. "I can be a bit shameless at times, but..."But upon learning that the one she loved was the unbeatable god of war, he willingly stepped back, offering his blessings with a smile."Okay, okay. You two stop crowding around me!" Christopher waved his hand. "Sephy needs more rest, and I'd like to get some more sleep, too! Once we heal, let's go out and have some fun together!""You're still thinking about fun?" Morpheus' deep voice intervened with a wry smile. "With the factory explosion incident, the royal family is furious and will thoroughly investigate it. Many people will probably be coming to talk to you both in the next few days. After all, you two are the most direc

"Let's get out first!""Hey, wait..." Persephone pointed to the other side.In moments of life and death, it wasn't appropriate to laugh, but Morpheus still chuckled. The young Prince Christopher was sprawled on the floor in a very ridiculous pose, and they almost forgot about him!"Don't worry," Morpheus whispered. "I won't let anything happen to him."He had Persephone cling to his back and then carried Christopher.Christopher was a tall fellow, so it took some effort to carry them both to a safe place.Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars rushed in. Their sirens pierced the sky, startling a flock of birds.The fire was soon extinguished, and Persephone and Christopher received timely treatment. Luckily, their burns weren't too severe, and even more fortunately, their faces were unharmed.When Christopher woke up, he felt bandages wrapped around his head, and his skin had a burning sensation. His heart sank, and he was almost on the verge of tears."Tell me the truth! A

There was fire everywhere. Flames rushed toward Persephone like menacing dragons. Her consciousness grew increasingly blurred, but the searing pain coursing through her body became clearer. She struggled to get up, the agony almost unbearable.Despite several attempts, it was futile...Something was pinning her feet down, and stones kept falling on her. She couldn't even muster a shout.Many images flashed through her mind in that fleeting moment, each frame featuring Morpheus' face…She remembered the times they had spent together in Flinge, how he had initially distanced himself from her, then later had exerted every effort to protect her. She recalled how he would gently ruffle her hair and call her "silly goose"..."Morpheus, I'm afraid I might have to go first..."The fire grew fiercer, explosions resonated continuously, and she could no longer hold on.Christopher, who was nearby, wasn't any better.Amidst the roaring flames, he couldn't see anything clearly, only pulling

"No need, you can go back first." Morpheus glanced at him. "I'll wait here for her a little longer.""Prince Christopher wouldn't do anything to Ms. Hamerton...""Alfred, what are you thinking?" Morpheus couldn't help but chuckle. "I know exactly what Christopher is like, but I just want to wait here for Sephy. Christopher mentioned that she'd specifically designed these fireworks for me. Hah! I'm the useless one. I don't even dare to go inside and take a look.""Sir, don't say that.""If I wait here, will it count as accompanying her in her efforts?"Alfred nodded.Morpheus smiled and sent Alfred back. He continued waiting under the tree.The air in Southeast Aciatic was hot and humid. The shade of the banyan tree offered some relief, but it couldn't completely dispel the oppressive heat.Morpheus took a deep breath, about to move elsewhere, when he glimpsed a suspicious figure swiftly darting through the factory's side gate.The security at the side gate was lax, making it e

Christopher struggled to swallow the bite of the sandwich in his mouth for what seemed like ages. He gazed at Persephone, his mind wandering back…He didn't just know Morpheus. He had been close since childhood to the children of the two prominent military families in Southeast Aciatic.Compared to the Harrises, he preferred visiting the Ortons, especially when he got to spend time with Morpheus. He considered Morpheus a friend, a brother even, having engaged in countless mischief together, much to their parents' dismay.In his memory, Morpheus was someone who smiled a lot, radiating warmth and brightness like the Southeast Aciatic sun when he did.However, from the moment Kaiden betrayed the country, Morpheus never smiled again, gradually growing distant from Christopher as well.It wasn't until that evening at the gates of the palace that Christopher felt like it had been a lifetime."I... I don't know him." Christopher forced a smile. "Where would I have met your boyfriend!"

Morpheus wasn't just an ordinary person!Christopher wholeheartedly accepted his defeat to Morpheus."Then... I'd like to invite you to come over to my place for a while as a friend. That's fine, right?"-A few days later, Persephone finally ran into Christopher, who had been missing in action for days, in the classroom."Hey, you finally showed up!" She dashed over, plopping down in the seat beside him and handing him breakfast. "You haven't eaten, right? Let's eat together!"Usually, Christopher would readily accept, but he waved his hands now. "No, no, no!""What's wrong?" Persephone widened her eyes. "This breakfast isn't poisoned!"Christopher awkwardly smiled. "You have a boyfriend, so maybe... we should keep some distance."Persephone burst into laughter. Then she remarked, "Strange... Morpheus was right!""Uh, what?""My boyfriend!" She chuckled. "He made this breakfast. I asked if he could also make a portion for you, and he said sure, just worried you wouldn't tak
