Smiling, Lina held onto Zuko's arm and rested her head on his shoulder. In truth, seeing fireflies wasn't a priority for her as long as she had Zuko by her side."You've just arrived. You should rest," Lina said, looking at him. "Hmm... Let me get you a hotel room.""No need!" Zuko replied, holding her hand and gently pressing his forehead against hers. "I can't afford such an expensive hotel.""Don't tell me you came here empty-handed!" Lina exclaimed."I didn't," Zuko reassured her, showing his bag. "I brought clothes!""You..." Lina's eyes widened as realization dawned on her. "Don't tell me you want to sleep in the same room with me?""Mm-hmm!" Zuko nodded earnestly. "That's a great idea!""Zeke!" Lina exclaimed in disbelief."What? You don't want to take me in?" Zuko whispered in her ear, his voice growing deeper. "Can you bear to... leave me on the streets in this unfamiliar place?"Lina gave him a stern look."I'm here." Zuko continued, using his persuasive charm. "I s

"Hmm?"Lina nestled in Zuko's embrace, her voice filled with playfulness as she said, "Once we replace our marriage certificate with the real one, let's have our honeymoon in Southeast Aciatic. I really like this place!""Really?" Zuko asked.Lina nodded with a smile on her face. "Yes! There's something indescribably familiar about it."Zuko kissed her forehead, his eyes shining with joy.Suddenly, a memory flashed in Zuko's mind. It was of a little girl he used to hold hands with a long time ago. He had promised that doll-like girl that he would take her to Southeast Aciatic to catch fireflies when she was just learning to walk...The thought struck Zuko's heart, leaving him feeling a mix of emotions.Meanwhile, at the Thompsons' residence in Centrolis...Nicholas and Linda sat at the dining table, waiting for Renee to join them after changing and coming downstairs.Linda turned to the maid and asked, "Did you prepare both Acian food and local food? Which one does she prefer?

No matter where Toph, the second grandson of the Hamertons, went, he was always a ray of sunshine in people's eyes.Since a young age, Toph had been beloved by everyone. Compared to his brother's maturity, Toph had a carefree and innocent character, always wearing a smile on his face.It was often said that people who loved to smile were lovable themselves.As soon as Toph walked in, he caught Renee's attention, and she greeted him with a smile.Nicholas and Linda exchanged glances and smiled, seeing Renee's unusual behavior. They quickly ushered Toph to take a seat."Help yourself. No need to be polite!" Nicholas said, patting Toph's shoulder and beaming. "You've grown so much lately!""Ahem... Uncle Nic, I passed puberty a long time ago!" Toph chuckled and helped himself to an omelet, digging in eagerly.Linda poured Toph a glass of milk, knowing he preferred it warm, not hot.Toph took the glass and cheerfully exclaimed, "Thanks, Aunt Linda! Your house always has so much foo

Zuko pressed Lina against the wall, emanating a dangerous and seductive aura. "Do you know how long I've been waiting for you today?" he asked with a hint of sadness in his hoarse voice, causing Lina to smile."10 hours, 32 minutes, and 56 seconds!" Zuko claimed."Quite precise," Lina remarked."Of course." Zuko tilted his chin. "Don't you think you should make it up to me?"As Zuko's lips drew closer to Lina's, she suddenly interrupted him with a finger, preventing their kiss."I'll make it up to you," Lina said with a mysterious smile. "I'll take you to see fireflies!""Huh?" Zuko questioned."The place I mentioned yesterday," Lina explained.Zuko was stunned. Lina could actually access the place she had talked about yesterday?Lina grabbed his neck with both hands and whispered excitedly, "My classmate told me today that although it's a private garden, there's a path at the back that leads to the rainforest!""What?" Zuko's lips twitched, shocked by the revelation.Howeve

Rowan found it strange. He had asked several questions on the phone, and his wife punched him in the end."You're such a fool!" Xyla was furious. "Zuko must have his reasons for requesting that! Just do as he says. Why do you have so many questions?""But... It's highly unusual for him!""What's so unusual about it? He wouldn't harm you!" Xyla rolled her eyes and took the phone from him. "Zuko! Hehe, don't worry. I'll do it. I'll turn it off for you right now!""Okay, thanks, grandma!""So... there won't be any bodyguards around either?" Xyla inquired."You're psychic, grandma!" Zuko replied.Xyla smiled and turned to instruct the butler. "Send this message. Nobody is allowed in the backyard tonight. Nobody disturbs Zuko!"Zuko happily ended the call. Just as he was about to change, Toph called."Bro!"Zuko paused, his brow furrowing. "Where are you? Why is it so noisy over there?""I'm in Jangasas," Toph replied."What?" Zuko was shocked. "You're here too? What about our p

Gia's gaze turned cold as she lifted her eyes to look at Lina. The once gentle and friendly demeanor was nowhere to be found. Perhaps Gia had never been soft-hearted; she had simply treated Lina differently because they were friends.Standing beside Lina, Zuko stared at Gia with eyes that seemed capable of piercing her heart at any moment. Gathering herself, Gia feigned calmness and smirked at them. Gia locked her gaze with Zuko for a moment, and a spark of jealousy ignited within her once again.Why did Lina deserve all the good things? Even though Lina was no longer Pamela Thompson, she had effortlessly won the heart of the Hamertons' first grandson.The world was inherently unfair. A beggar wouldn't be jealous of a billionaire, but Gia despised the beggar who managed to beg more money than she did.While she also harbored resentment toward the second-generation rich like Violet, her hatred for Lina ran deep.Zuko's eyes grew intense, and within seconds, they silently conveyed

"I'll make each and every one of you suffer—to the point where death is preferable!" Zuko's words echoed in the air as he turned away, ignoring her completely.It took Gia a long time to regain her composure after Zuko's departure. The atmosphere still felt heavy, as if frozen in time.Zuko's presence had both shocked and unsettled her, stirring an unfamiliar feeling in her heart. Why did such an exceptional man only have eyes for Lina? Compared to the privileged heirs she encountered at school, Zuko exuded composure, wisdom, and dominance. He possessed both looks and a prestigious background. Thus, why did he choose Lina over everyone else? What did that wretched woman have that she didn't?Gia clenched her fists, her jealousy and hatred burning in her eyes as she struggled to make her way back to the hotel lobby. She spotted Heidi approaching from a distance, likely returning from attending to Violet at the hospital.The exhaustion evident in Heidi's demeanor ignited a flicker

Zuko couldn't tell her that he couldn't control himself. He gently held her small hand, caressing the back of it with his thumb, and looked into her eyes with a tender smile."I don't want to trouble you." He made up an excuse. "When we came back, we ran into Gia. She might spread rumors about us staying together."Lina's expression changed, and she nodded solemnly. What he said made sense. Gia's attitude toward her had already shifted, and Lina had to be cautious. If it became known that they were sharing a room without proper registration, it could lead to a big commotion and even involve the police, causing trouble.However...Lina looked at him, her worry shifting to his well-being. She was more concerned about him not having a place to stay.Zuko understood her thoughts. He gently ruffled her hair and whispered, "Don't worry. I was just joking about sleeping on the streets. I have enough money to stay at a hotel."Lina voiced her concern. "But those small hotels will surely

"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
