"Lenny, why don't you stay tonight?" Lina gently held Lena's hand and suggested, "Tomorrow, I'll introduce you to my parents in Jangasas. They are wonderful people. My younger brother is studying at the University of Centrolis, and he's quite a handsome young man."Lina added, "Lenny, let's head upstairs first. You can choose which room you like." She was talkative in her happy state.Lena followed behind, not fully absorbing her words.As they ascended the stairs, Lena stole a glance at Nicholas and offered a soft smile. She couldn't help but envy her sister's family. Lina had loving biological parents, caring adoptive parents who raised her for 20 years, and a fiance who cherished her dearly.Such blessings were rare, and Lena appreciated them deeply.Despite this, Lena felt no trace of jealousy.On the contrary, she was determined to protect this happiness at all costs. Having endured many hardships herself, she cherished all the beauty life had to offer. She couldn't bear to

Lena's heart raced as she nervously fiddled with the hem of her clothes, troubled and uncertain. She had never worn a dress like the off-shoulder one before. Her usual attire consisted of all-black outfits, fully covering her arms, and she felt that this style was her destiny from birth. In her mind, such a beautiful dress belonged to girls like her sister.Seeing Lena freeze like a startled deer, Chris felt a sudden clench in his heart. He chuckled softly and suggested, "Hmm... Maybe you shouldn't wear that one."Lena looked at him, and he continued. "I think this one suits your style better." He pointed to a classic long dress with an elegant and conservative design, the hem falling below the knees. It carried a unique charm without stealing the spotlight from the bride.Lina's eyes lit up, and she agreed. "That's right! Lenny, you do seem more suitable for this kind of long dress. Chris has a good eye!"Chris smirked and asked Lena to try it on. She took it and quickly entered t

Zuko had reserved a special spot for the Jenner couple when arranging the wedding venue. They had given Lina a second chance at life and were the most important people to her.With most preparations completed, Zephyr and Cordelia invited Nicholas and Linda to see the wedding house they prepared for the young couple. They spent five minutes viewing the house and the following two hours catching up.The four of them sat in the courtyard, reminiscing about their youth, eating fruit, and enjoying the breeze.Cordelia served homemade desserts and fruit tea, which Linda greatly admired."Cordelia, your culinary skills are as exquisite as ever. I almost don't want to eat them!" Linda praised.Nicholas, a bit worried, said, "My daughter doesn't know how to make these. You won't mind as her mother-in-law, will you?"Zephyr playfully punched Nicholas, saying, "Pammy and Renee are both our daughters now. We're more than fond of them!"With a sly grin, Nicholas said, "I remember a fortune t

"Darling, what are you saying?" Zephyr's tone was exasperated."I was just saying that someone in my hometown also has a close friend of the same sex. True love knows no gender, right?" Cordelia's face turned red with laughter as she covered her mouth.Nicholas erupted with thunderous laughter. "Hahaha!"Startled by his sudden outburst, Linda raised her hand to hit him.Zephyr rolled his eyes and shot him a disdainful look before noticing Cordelia's triumphant expression.As his hand reached her waist, it transformed into a gentle embrace, and he wore a pleasing smile on his face."Darling, can we stop talking about this?""I'm not angry. I was just teasing you." Cordelia stroked his face.Despite their age, Zephyr's face still held its charm and remained the most handsome in her heart."Yeah," Linda agreed. "If we hadn't brought up Lenny and Pammy, we wouldn't be discussing this... But, Cordelia, do you really think that Lenny has those kinds of feelings for Pammy?""I can't

"Didn't someone mention this before? You asked for a golden room, right?" Lina said."So, this is the golden chamber you've created for me?" Zuko paused briefly before laughing.He carefully examined the blueprint, impressed by Lina's exceptional drawing skills. The design looked as if it had been printed by a machine, with each element distinct and pursued to perfection."Do you like it?" Lina asked, looking expectantly at him.Zuko chuckled softly. How could he not like it?He reminisced about when his mother bought his father a very cheap car. Zephyr treated it like a treasure, caring for it as if it were the most valuable possession. But now, Lina had outdone them all by gifting him an entire house."It would be perfect if this place was close to the sea and the mountains." Zuko embraced her, resting her head on his shoulder. "This house would look even better if built along the mountains."He then asked, "Lina, have you chosen the location?""Yes," Lina replied, gently rub

Toph had a slightly red face from drinking. He danced and laughed with the Baker men, who were also dressed in traditional kilts.Zuko's eyes widened in surprise. The Baker kids had studied in Zkotland and were familiar with the local customs. In Zkotland, men wore kilts characterized by large tartan patterns in bright colors. With the voluminous pleats, Toph became the most eye-catching figure at the entire wedding!While this was normal in Zkotland, it seemed unconventional to the other guests.Zuko lowered his head, trying to avoid the situation and have someone take Toph away quickly."Bro, don't I look good in this outfit?" Toph laughed carefreely. "Stand right there! I'm about to play a bagpipe tune for you!""No!" Zuko gestured hastily.Toph looked disappointed. "Zuko, why not?""Well... Oh, this is your reserved act! What will you do later if you perform all your acts now?"Toph realized the point and smiled again, continuing to have fun with everyone.Zuko smiled too,

Renee's mother, Kaitlyn Carmichael, had fallen into a coma again. When Lina and Zuko arrived at the hospital, Kaitlyn had already been wheeled into the emergency room.Zennie and Seth, both medical professors, were coordinating the emergency response while doctors and nurses hurriedly moved through the bustling corridor.Lina went up to hug Renee, comforting her softly. "Don't worry, Aunt Zennie and Uncle Seth are both experts in their field. They said before that Aunt Kaitlyn's condition hadn't reached the point of needing a kidney transplant. She'll be fine!"Renee couldn't speak coherently.Toph tried to explain, "Aunt Zennie and Uncle Seth mentioned that kidney disease is a complicated condition, even though a kidney transplant wasn't required at that time."Zuko frowned. "Didn't they use specialized medicine already?"Toph did not know what was going on either. He could only sit outside and wait.After a while, the lights in the emergency room dimmed, and the group rushed o

"My wife won't have to lift a finger for anything in the future!" Toph said seriously, looking at Renee. "Have you read 'Gone with the Wind'?"Not well-versed in literature, Renee shook her head with slight embarrassment.Toph spoke gently. "In the book, there's a part where the female protagonist falls into difficulties and goes to the male protagonist to borrow money. Despite previously claiming to live luxuriously, the male protagonist could tell from her appearance that she was struggling just by looking at her hands. They were rough, giving away her true situation... Do you understand why?""I don't know," admitted Renee."The male protagonist noticed her hands," Toph said as he held Renee's hand. "Even though she dressed up nicely, her rough hands betrayed her hardships.""I won't let you end up like that," Toph reassured her with a smile. "When you're with me, you won't have to worry about anything! Leave all the tough and laborious work to me!"Renee looked at him with te

"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
