Lina's heart thumped inexplicably as if she had done something wrong.She forced a chuckle. "Renee, why are you rummaging through my things?""Is this intended for Lena?" Renee emphasized.Lina paused, seeming unhappy. She gazed at Renee and nodded slightly. "It's meant for her. Lenny is working, and coworkers judge by looks. If she doesn't carry something good, they might think less—"Before she could finish, Renee spoke coldly. "Why didn't you think to get me something valuable to carry when I was working at the Thompson Group?""Renee!" Lina widened her eyes. "What are you talking about?""She caused my mother's death!" Renee snapped the box closed and tossed it onto the sofa, where it immediately rebounded. "Why is it that each and every one of you treats her like a savior and treats her so well?!""Renee?" Lina looked at her in disbelief.Was the gentle and kind girl she knew in the past gone with Kaitlyn's suicide?The present Renee was full of resentment, treating Lena

The corner of Lena's lips was slightly swollen, and there were clear fingerprints on her face. Lina's heart tightened. She hadn't anticipated Renee, who appeared delicate, acting so aggressively and quickly. Surprisingly, Lina didn't dodge at all, suggesting this wasn't an isolated incident.Lina brought ice and helped Lena apply it to her face. Lena looked at her and finally showed a faint smile."Does it still hurt?"Lena shook her head.Lina angrily exclaimed, "Does Renee usually treat you like this at home?""Nothing like that." Lena seemed indifferent. "She's actually quite nice to me. Besides, I might have spoken too harshly just now. It's my fault.""Lenny...""It's okay. Go check on her." Lena smiled sincerely. "I have thick skin and can take a hit. But she's the one who's wounded inside. She's the one who needs comfort the most."Lina could barely manage to say, "Lenny, you're always thinking about others...""It's not for her sake." Lena sighed lightly and said, "I

Lina nodded and replied [Got it] in the group chat.Not long after, her phone chimed again.Renee, who had not spoken in the group for a while, also replied with a [Got it].Lina and Zuko exchanged smiles.Zuko gently kissed her forehead and whispered, "Don't worry. Everything will be fine.""I hope so."Zuko continued. "By the way, about this... Let's not have Lena attend."Lina's gaze dimmed. She then realized that this was a family gathering among the four major families. Even Nicholas and Linda were not invited. Her attendance was as a member of the Hamertons, so it would not be appropriate for Lena to come along.As for Renee, she was engaged to Toph and could be considered half a Hamerton. She should meet these relatives to prepare for future occasions."Chris won't be there either." Zuko chuckled. "He's always with Lena. They might go on a trip together that day. Isn't that nice?""Yeah, you're right." Lina smiled. "After we return, you must show me the guest list. I m

"Jon Snow!"Hahaha, it's really Jon Snow! Long time no see! Hahaha!"Toph immediately gave the man a big hug. His hearty laughter filled the small room, making everyone laugh too.The man he hugged was left breathless and punched him a few times.Zuko separated the two and gave the man a normal hug. They patted each other's shoulders, giving off a feeling of mutual camaraderie."Hey, getting stronger, huh?" The man pinched Zuko's arm. "I thought you wouldn't be disciplined after getting married, but it seems you're still training.""Of course!" Zuko raised an eyebrow. "I'm still waiting for a match against you!""Let's do it!" The man turned to Toph. "You little brat! You've given me a new name again!"Toph laughed heartily. "Your sister is Arya, so naturally, you're Jon Snow! Hahaha!"Arya stood beside, giggling heartily too. Her skin was fair, and her cheeks turned rosy when she laughed, looking charming as her blush resembled blooming peach blossoms."Don't tease him." Zuk

Arya smiled gently. "I don't play games, but I'm the one who illustrated this story!""What?!" Toph exclaimed.The others were amazed too, staring at Arya with surprise, which made her feel a bit shy."Don't look at me like that!" Arya smiled, looking down. "I've loved drawing comics since I was a child, especially stories with a fine art style. The characters and plot of this game are adapted from a comic book I created."Everyone was even more astonished. Only then did they realize the renowned comic artist Ari was right before them!"Y-You're actually the author of this... game, 'Emerald Lake'!" Toph exclaimed, finding it unbelievable."Arya is low-key. It's not just you guys. Even I didn't know. She's actually sold the rights to several of her works." Graham smiled, his face filled with pride. "This silly girl isn't good at negotiating prices, so those rights were sold without much consideration."She spent several years on Emerald Lake, pouring her heart and soul into it. N

Toph noticed that Renee might not be feeling well, so he asked her with concern. He even went out and brought back a lot of food and drinks for her.Renee gazed at the array of dishes—main courses, sides, and desserts—all in her favorite flavors.Tears welled up in her eyes, and an inexplicable emotion overcame her. She softly leaned against Toph's shoulder. Maybe no one else in the world would care for her like this. Even her mother had never remembered her preferences so well."What's wrong?" Toph stroked her head with a gentle smile. "Are you really feeling unwell? Should I send you home earlier and call a doctor?""Send me back home?" Renee's heart lurched. "Will you return after sending me home?""Hmm... I probably will," Toph replied candidly. "After all, the banquet hasn't ended yet, and my parents haven't left. If I leave first, it won't seem polite."Renee bit her lip, remembering how Toph would never leave her side whenever she was unwell.'Is he trying to send me back

After that banquet, Toph became silent.Even Wendy noticed it. The house used to be full of Toph's laughter, but recently, he had been unusually quiet. He would either frown or sigh, and sometimes he'd lock himself in his room.Zuko and Lina were conflicted after they figured out the whole story. They did not want to see him feeling down like this all the time.Coincidentally, Renee realized she had gone too far and apologized. Toph's face lit up. The gloomy clouds cleared, and he was his radiant self again like the little sun he always was."Hey, Zuko." Once, Toph asked Zuko in a hushed voice, "Is it true that the more a girl picks on you unreasonably, the more it proves she can't be without you?"Zuko frowned as he pondered. He felt it was not easy to give a definite answer to that—because Lina never treated him like that.Lina could get jealous, angry, and argue with him. Despite that, the two of them always made up soon after and got along well. Plus, Lina was clear-headed. S

After Arya's reminder, Toph suddenly understood the situation. Renee's unhappiness from the banquet until now was because of this.He had, in fact, promised complete devotion to Renee. How could she have misinterpreted his intentions?However, on reflection, Renee apologized later on.Regardless of the circumstances, he was also to blame!Toph was annoyed and regretful. He wished he could just remove his head and offer it to Renee to vent her frustration!"Toph? Toph!" Arya waved a hand in front of him. "What's gotten into you?""Nothing!" Toph patted his head. "Ah, it's all my fault! I was wrong. I really don't have a brain!"Arya widened her eyes. "What's going on with you?""Nothing, that's all!" Toph hurriedly left but turned back just as he reached the door. "Arya, if you want to apologize to a girl, what kind of gift is better?""Well..." Arya smiled awkwardly.She lacked experience in this field. Despite having many boys pursue her since childhood, the gifts during cou

"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
