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

Heidi had long heard that Lina had gotten married, and to make matters worse, she had married a poor truck driver. Now, seeing him in person, he did indeed look quite shabby.Heidi sneered and immediately assumed an authoritative tone when she saw Lina in the room, raising her voice. "You two are sharing one room but using only one person's passport for registration. This is illegal in Southeast Aciatic!"Lina Jenner, you've caused me enough trouble on this trip! I won't tolerate you secretly harboring someone in your room this time!""Ms. Lister, it's not what you think!" Lina stepped forward, shielding Zuko behind her and gesturing for him to step back.Zuko was taken aback. He could sense the young woman's worry and slight fear as her shoulders trembled. Yet, he also saw her determination to protect him.It was a strange feeling, and a smile formed at the corners of his mouth."Ms. Lister, he is my husband," Lina argued reasonably. "He just arrived in Southeast Aciatic and doe

"Yes, that's correct," the general manager replied impatiently, giving Heidi a brief glance. "Our hotel policy prioritizes customers.""But the two of them—""I heard what this young lady just said," the lobby manager interjected. "They're a married couple!""Ah..." The general manager pretended to ponder, nodding earnestly. "In that case, it's an easy solution! Since they are legally married, it's only reasonable for them to stay together."Heidi stood frozen, completely stunned, while Gia, who stood behind her, wore a grimace."General manager, what you're saying isn't entirely accurate." Heidi attempted to salvage the situation. "Doesn't Southeast Aciatic's law stipulate—"The manager glanced at her. "Miss, do you understand Southeast Aciatic's laws better, or do I?""Well…""Using one person's ID for registration while accommodating two people may be inappropriate, but this situation doesn't apply to married couples. Spouses are considered one entity, so it doesn't matter w

Zuko gently squeezed her shoulder, signaling to her with a smile to remain silent. He then turned his gaze to the manager, maintaining a calm expression, and inquired, "I'm not quite clear on what you mean by 'a gesture of apology'?""Well..." the manager glanced at Heidi and raised his voice, "As one of the highest-rated hotels in Southeast Aciatic, we failed to properly vet our guests' backgrounds, allowing certain troublemakers to stay here. It's truly a neglect of our duty!""What did you say!?" Heidi immediately shouted, her voice rising, "Who are you referring to? Who!?"The manager crossed his arms in front of his chest and gave her an impatient look. The bodyguards swiftly reacted and grabbed hold of Heidi's arms, preparing to escort her out.The students widened their eyes, murmuring in surprise."I apologize, Ms. Lister," the manager interjected, crossing his hands and consulting the information on his iPad. A trace of contempt flickered in his eyes. "Upon investigation,

Gia held her breath, feeling an icy chill as Zuko's gaze bore into her.Zuko's smile vanished, replaced by a glint of ruthlessness in his eyes. "I've warned you," he said. "If anyone dares to harm my woman, I assure you they will suffer a fate far worse than death. Ms. Chapman, did you think I was joking?"Gia stammered, attempting to defend herself as the situation escalated. "M-Mr. Hamerton... I never had any ill intentions toward you or Lina. I have no idea how information about you staying in her room got leaked—"Zuko interrupted her, his voice turning cold. "Heh! Perhaps a certain b*tch couldn't keep its mouth shut and let out a few barks."Gia's eyes widened in shock.Zuko continued, his tone filled with menace. "Gia Chapman, Violet has been disfigured, and Heidi has been driven away. With a mere nod from me, this deceitful teacher might become one of the missing persons in Southeast Aciatic by tomorrow... By the way, what do you think these two have in common?"Gia's lips

"Toph, there's no need to go through all this trouble again." Renee spoke, her voice filled with sincerity. She looked into Toph's eyes and confessed, "I am not Pamela."Toph's hands trembled, almost causing the instant noodles to spill. Despite mentally preparing himself, hearing the admission directly from Renee still came as a shock.Renee extended her hand and continued. "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Renee Thompson. Thompson..."She paused, biting her lip before continuing, "As in Melvin Thompson's Thompson."A moment of silence hung in the air before Toph murmured, "So you're indeed Melvin's daughter."Renee questioned, "Indeed?"Toph looked up, explaining, "We always felt that you resemble him, so we made an educated guess, and it turned out to be correct."Renee lowered her head, a soft smile gracing her lips. "I hope I never resemble him."Taking a deep breath, Toph asked, his voice tinged with concern, "Why did you both conspire to deceive Uncle Nicho

"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
