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

"Mr. Hamertons, s-stop fighting!"No… Don't... don't hit me..."I promise both of you will have a set of lipsticks today. No one will leave empty-handed!"-Later, Toph and Chris walked out of DL Mall, satisfied and carrying shopping bags. They found a food truck by the roadside, ordered a table full of snacks and two packs of beer, and indulged themselves thoroughly.The next day, Toph confidently arrived at the Thompson residence with the cosmetics in hand. Coincidentally, Renee opened the door and could not help the delight when she saw what he was holding."What do you think?" Toph flicked his hair and smirked. "Do you like it?"Renee nodded and stepped forward to hug him after a moment, tears trickling down her face."Hey, don't cry!" Toph was taken aback. "I bought this for you hoping to make you happy, not to make you sad."Renee smiled through her tears. She was not sad—she was just too touched, to the point she felt it was all unreal.Toph smiled and took out the lip

Wendy did not understand what happened, but hearing Renee's question made her feel that something was amiss. Hence, she did not say more.After hanging up, Renee was even more convinced that Arya had taught Toph. Otherwise, why would he suddenly buy her a set of lipsticks? How would he know about her lack of security? How would he talk about keeping a distance from other girls?"It must be Arya..." Renee clenched her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white and her hand trembling slightly.They must have met, and Arya must have told Toph more things. Her words must really be influential since he remembered them so well!A lump formed in Renee's chest, and tears welled up in her eyes. She turned to look at the cosmetics that Toph had sent. Those neatly arranged lipsticks in their box seemed like mocking crimson eyes, ridiculing her insecurity and her shameful background.The last shred of security she held onto was completely shattered."Ah!" A headache struck Renee. She knocked

"How about using me as a practice client?" When Chris said this, his ears turned red.He had seen how Jacquelin from the Thompson Group's sales department handled clients. Although he was disdainful of women like her, if Lena could treat him the same way... he could laugh himself awake just by imagining that.Lena was taken aback, then asked softly, "This... can also be practiced?""Well, of course!" Chris struggled to explain, "Sales is all about techniques and practice. Your skills are limited right now, and you haven't practiced enough. That's why you haven't achieved any results!"Lenny." He appealed to her emotionally. "Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your Lina. Even though she has a high position in the company, there are so many eyes on her in the boardroom. She can't afford to make any mistakes!"If people find out that the person she recommended isn't performing, those old men in the boardroom will surely make a big deal out of it. Isn't this a perfect

"Chris, you—"Lena turned, ready to speak, but a passionate kiss abruptly silenced her.She stood still, her thoughts empty, as an electric feeling surged through her.Chris swiftly pulled her close, savoring her taste and the softness in his arms.This apartment had long been part of his plan. This kiss, too, had been carefully arranged.Initially, he aimed to spend more time with Lena. Eventually, this kiss would naturally unfold here.But when Lena pushed him onto the carpet earlier, his desire ignited. Suppressing it had gone on too long. Holding back might lead to complications.Thus, he chose to take the leap instead...Chris kissed Lena with fervor, lacking finesse, and Lena even found it slightly painful. However, she responded to his kisses despite her initial resistance. Her hands crept onto his broad shoulders, involuntarily rubbing them. She was like a young and wild creature letting loose in the depths of Chris' heart."Lenny..." He reluctantly parted from her lip

Lena and Jade were briefly shocked. They noticed Jacquelin approaching from a short distance, swaying her hips as she walked. Her perfume's scent reached them even before she arrived.Lena furrowed her brow as she found the fragrance overwhelmingly pungent."A pheasant should add a few more feathers to become a peacock!" Jacquelin taunted, glancing at Lena. "Right, Lena?"Lena glanced at her coldly but did not say anything.Jade immediately chimed in. "Jacquelin, how are the house sales going? It seems like you haven't met your target for this month yet.""Ms. Neale, you—""Do you dare to say that I've set too high a target for you each month?" Jade smiled. "You know well how you've been achieving them each month. Relying solely on connections won't take you far."Jacquelin rolled her eyes dramatically. The board member from the Thompson Group was several ranks above Jade, but she was currently under Jade's jurisdiction. Moreover, her relationship with that board member was not

"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
