Linda glanced at Gia and said coldly, "Ms. Chapman, do you really think that using sweet words and sowing discord can fool everyone? You're still young. Use your time in prison to reform yourself. There may still be opportunities in your life!""I think not." Suddenly, a crisp voice came from outside the door.Lina's eyes lit up.Abigail had told her that she would appear on the day of "harvest", and now she was there. She still wore her big sunglasses that covered half of her face and walked with an air of confidence. There was, however, another person behind her.That person looked panicked with trembling legs. As soon as she entered, she knelt in front of everyone.Linda frowned. "Who is she?"Abigail walked over to explain unhurriedly, "Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, this is Tina Yoe, a cosmetic doctor known in the entertainment industry, but she has done something even more notorious!"Gia looked at Tina, and both of them turned pale at the sight of each other.Lina stepped forwar

Zuko blurted out without thinking, "They'll definitely agree!"Then, he met Zephyr's cryptic look and corrected himself. "Uh... They'll probably agree.""Anyway, I've prepared two sets of wedding gifts," Cordelia said, looking at her son. "One for you and one for Toph. If by then you still can't marry my two daughters-in-law..."Zuko raised an eyebrow with a puzzled look.Cordelia smiled. "Then you two don't have to come back either!"Zuko was rendered speechless.Zephyr hugged Cordelia by the waist with a hearty laugh. Not having these two brats come back was just fine, as they wouldn't interrupt his alone time with his wife.Lina came out of the room, and her face lit up with a delighted smile when she saw the three of them."Uncle Zephyr, Aunt Cordelia! You're here!""Ahem!" Zuko hurriedly said, "I'm here too!"Lina took his hand in hers, smiling."My parents came to see Aunt Melissa and asked about the progress of her treatment.""Thanks for your concern, Uncle Zephyr a

Although everything around him was familiar—the scenery, home furnishings, and even the service staff—Zuko still sat on the sofa with restraint. He kept his back straight and his eyes focused, occupying only 1/3 of the sofa. There was not even a single crease on his suit or tie.He had even hired three stylists in advance to perfect his image for today. When the handsome Hamerton heir appeared in the Thompsons' living room, Linda couldn't stop smiling, while Nicholas' expression was rather intriguing.His smile seemed more like a smirk, his gaze alternating between hostile and friendly. It was a complicated expression as if his daughter would be abducted, but the abductor was someone he had watched grow up. The struggle was clear on his face.Zuko and Nicholas sat in the living room like that for 20 minutes. Neither of them moved nor said a word. Even the service staff didn't dare to approach.Lina quietly asked Linda, "What's wrong with dad?""I don't know." Linda furrowed her br

"What's wrong?" Nicholas asked, raising his deep voice and narrowing his eyes. "Are you drinking or not?"Zuko forced a smile and replied, "I'll... I'll drink, of course.""Then fill the glasses!""Sh*t!" Zuko let out a soft gasp. "Uncle Nicholas, slow down!"He watched as Nicholas brought out two whiskey glasses and filled them to the brim before handing one to him.Zuko had no choice but to accept it. However, he had never even had vodka straight. It felt more like a glass of alcohol rather than something to savor."What's the matter? Scared to drink?" Nicholas raised an eyebrow smugly. "Kid, are you even a man if you can't handle this?""Uncle Nicholas—""Your father must not have taught you these things!" Nicholas leaned closer to him with a mischievous smile. "A real man drinks this. That's the real deal! Don't learn those fancy habits from your father, thinking you're sophisticated just by sipping red wine and eating fancy tiny dishes. Those rich heir types like him alway

Zuko was now completely sober. He hadn't had time to react when Nicholas dragged him away, and then his ears were filled with the man's voice narrating how he had made full use of the washboard back in the day, how he had pacified Linda, and so on.While listening to the stories, Zuko found another glass of vodka in his hand. By the end of it, he had lost track of how much he had drunk.In a daze, he felt a soft hand hooking onto his arm, and a gentle voice whispered in his ear, "You've had so much to drink. What do we do now?""Let Zuko stay here! He's not an outsider," Linda said."Which room should he stay in?" Lina asked.-When Zuko woke up, he was lying in a beautiful princess room—Lina's. The air was filled with a familiar fragrance, and a lovely thought crossed his mind.He had drunk too much yesterday, and it seemed Lina had helped him.'Did we have…'Zuko couldn't control his smile and subconsciously felt the space beside him.However, there was no residual warmth.

Lina had some concerns. "It's not that. I just returned to this family and haven't spent much time with my parents. It'll be difficult for them to part with me, even though they don't say it out loud. Moreover, my mother in Jangasas hasn't fully recovered yet, and I want to take care of her longer."Zuko affectionately patted her head. Even if he couldn't wait any longer, he had to respect her filial piety."Alright." He smiled. "There's no rush. Besides, I'll be with you when you go abroad for further studies."Lina happily gave him a loud kiss on the cheek.Zuko was slightly stunned.The innocent Lina did not realize that something was off with the way he looked at her. She wanted to kiss him on the other cheek, only for him to grab her wrist and pull her down onto the bed."Ah!" Lina let out a soft cry.They were now so close that their noses were almost touching. She could clearly feel his gradually warming breaths and body temperature, and...Lina blushed instantly and tur

"Isn't Lina going to be engaged to Zuko?" Melissa smiled and said, "The old house and the supermarket are all intended to be Lina's wedding gift!""Melissa, you...""I know the gift we prepared for Lina might not compare to yours." Melissa spoke softly. "But this is the best I can do. I pampered Lina growing up, and now that she's getting married, I must give her the best..."Linda's heart jolted, and she instinctively tightened her grip on Melissa's hand—this was what a parent's love was like.-Zuko and Lina's engagement ceremony caused a sensation in the entire Centrolis. The guests were all wealthy or influential. They mingled around, well-dressed and sophisticated, and the couple's exceptional charisma made them a sight to behold.Zuko was happy with every detail of the engagement ceremony, except for Toph's big mouth!Toph and Renee accompanied Zuko and Lina, playing roles similar to groomsmen and bridesmaids in a wedding. They were supposed to help them with toasts, but i

The question took aback Aaron. "Why? Is checking taxes now a lawyer's responsibility?"Jacob looked more serious. "It's everyone's responsibility!"Feeling intimidated by the imposing aura of the prominent lawyer, Aaron stood stiffly and didn't dare say another word.Abigail couldn't help but chuckle and gave Aaron a subtle look.Aaron cleared his throat and said, "Uh... Mr. Welsh, please rest assured. I've always been a law-abiding artist.""Is that so?" Jacob squinted. "You're still single, right? Do you have any rumored girlfriends? I hope there won't be any cheating scandals that implicate Abigail one day?""Mr. Welsh, what are you talking about?" Aaron winced, sweat forming on his forehead.Jacob's voice turned stern. "I'm saying, watch out!"He cleared his throat and stood closer to Abigail to physically block her. His expression was wary and hostile.Abigail's heart thumped. She could smell Jacob's aftershave from being so close to him. Looking at his pressed suit jacke

"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
