"Me!" Jacquelin eagerly handed over her business card. "Ms. Bayer, I'm a top-tier sales representative here. I'm very familiar with all the units and layouts of these houses. I also have discounts that I can offer you, guaranteed satisfaction!"Jade ignored Jacquelin after a glance at her and turned to attend to other matters.Renee stood to the side, clutching her bag tightly with eyes fixed on Arya and Lena.She saw that while Arya was smiling at Jacquelin, she was holding Lena's hand the whole time. Then, she noticed how Arya was ordering around Jacquelin.Arya would ask for a certain brand of mineral water one moment and then request another brand of tissue the next, even though these items were not available in the sales center.Jacquelin hurried out to buy them just to please Arya. As she passed by Renee, it was as if she had not seen her.Renee bit her lip, the knot in her chest tightening and making breathing difficult."Ms. Bayer..." Lena looked at Arya and hesitated to

"Arya Comics" had found its home and was about to officially open for business. Arya had taken on all the roles herself, from author and editor to handling administrative and financial tasks, keeping herself incredibly busy.Graham, who was overseas, wanted to help but could not. Thus, he called the Hamerton brothers, asking them to take care of her.Zuko was already overwhelmed managing the Hamerton Group, so the responsibility naturally fell on Toph, who had relatively little to do.The tiny kittens grew up slowly, and Arya found them a new home in her studio. The smell of freshly brewed coffee filled her studio, mingling with the scent of her computer and drawing board. She could hear the distant waves and see a picturesque view through the French windows.When Toph first visited the studio, this was the scene that captivated him. His heart felt incomplete, like a puzzle missing a piece, and that missing piece was the kind of life he had longed for."Arya, your place is reall

Toph could not contain his hearty laughter, distracting Zephyr, who was concentrating on his work. It did not take long for him to receive a death glare from his father...Zuko, who was always sharp, immediately lowered his head and diligently planted the flowers, occasionally glancing at his father with a mischievous grin.Before long, Lina came to help as well.Night descended quietly, and they had just finished planting the final purple iris. The two brothers released a sigh of relief.Even now, Toph remained curious, especially keen to discover the birthday gift his father would give to his mother.Zephyr chuckled triumphantly. He looked at his two sons, then at Lina. "Alright, I'll let you guys have a sneak peek!"Toph was excited, dancing around. "Really?!"Zuko was calmer. He tugged at Toph's clothes and whispered, "I already have a pretty good guess about what dad will give.""Huh?""It's something that needs rehearsal," Zuko said calmly. "Otherwise, why would he show

Despite that…Toph took out his phone, the screen pitch black. He scrolled through his recent chat history with Renee, each message feeling like he was talking to himself.[Have you eaten?][What are you doing at home?][Do you want to go out for a walk today?]No response to any of them.However, it was not like this in the past. Previously, the reply would be almost immediate no matter who messaged the other. They could talk about even the most trivial matters, like seeing a small flower by the road, finding a cute baby laughing, or the weather being really sunny for a long time.Toph felt a bit downcast as he dug into the food.Just then, Wendy brought in some guests."Zuko, Toph!"It was easy to know who it was judging by that sweet voice.Arya entered the living room, her face lit up with a smile. To everyone's surprise, Chris and Lena followed closely behind, holding hands. Their eyes radiated happiness, tinged with a touch of shyness.Lina and Zuko exchanged a glance

Chris said with a smile, "Pammy, even though it's just a silk scarf, it's not at all cheap! And as Arya just said, the significance of the gift lies in the sentiment behind it!""Of course, I know!" Lina held Lena's hand and smiled at Arya. "Arya, thank you. I've heard from Lenny that it was you who bought the studio and put the sales under her name.""Just a small effort," Arya said softly. "This is Lenny's first sale. It's a promising start and will only improve in the future!"Lina raised a glass as a toast. "Here's to your studio thriving!"Speaking of the studio, Arya wrinkled her brows and sighed lightly."What's the matter?""Oh, the deadline for the second volume is approaching, but I've been running low on inspiration lately. No matter how I draw the main characters, I can't get them to look the way I want."Toph looked at her. "Is the publishing house pressuring you a lot?" "Yeah..."Just as Arya was speaking, her phone rang. She went outside to answer it and talked

"Isn't it great being young?""They're all a bunch of kids." Zephyr looked at his wife with an indulgent gaze. "Our age is better!""I'm really grateful that I've had you by my side throughout these years." Cordelia held his hand, gently leaning on his shoulder. "Now that Zuko and Pammy have found happiness, we just need a grandchild!""Well... I want a granddaughter."Having a grandson would be nice, but Zephyr especially wanted a cute little granddaughter. He could imagine himself and Cordelia taking their well-dressed granddaughter, who looked like a princess, out in public. They would surely be the most fashionable grandparents!"Alright, a granddaughter!" Cordelia looked at him helplessly, then furrowed her brow slightly. "Even Chris and Lena are together now, but Toph...""What about Toph?"Cordelia hesitated and muttered, "Don't you think there's something off about Toph's recent relationship? It feels a bit stifling.""You mean..." Zephyr had noticed it too, but maybe b

Renee kept staring in that direction, feeling an uncomfortable knot in her heart. Her white pearl handbag was a gift from Lina, but what about Lena's?Who was she to use something just like hers?Renee bit her lip, swiftly slipping her handbag under a certain table and covering it with the tablecloth."Renee?" Toph handed her a glass of champagne, noticing her distracted look. "What's wrong?"Renee gently shook her head, not looking too good."Let me take you to see my mom." Toph grinned. "My mom's been wanting to see you! Perfect timing that you're wearing the ring today. Let's show it to her!"Renee was startled and pulled her hand away the instant Toph held her hand.Le Fari was slightly too big on her finger, almost slipping off onto the floor."Renee, w-what's wrong?" Toph watched her expression cautiously."Nothing." Renee took a deep breath. "I saw Lena.""Oh." Toph tried hard to keep her happy and hugged her. "It's fine. If you'd rather not deal with her, we won't. Bu

Lena held the bag tightly in her hand. Beside her, Chris felt that something was wrong and turned to give her a concerned and serious look."I didn't...""I know." He held her hand firmly. "It's okay. I'll accompany you to explain it.""There's no need for an explanation at all," Lena whispered. "Renee framed me! I haven't done anything wrong. Even if the police come, I won't admit to it!""Lenny..." Chris looked pained. "But it's best not to blow this out of proportion for now. It's Aunt Cordelia's birthday today, and Renee is Toph's fiancee. If we make a scene, you won't gain anything and will have to endure everyone's criticism—""I'm not afraid!""Lenny!" Chris held her shoulder. "I know you're not afraid of gossip, but aren't you afraid of being misunderstood by Lina?"Lena froze, her gaze slowly dimming.Chris smiled wryly. Saying anything else was futile. Only Lina had the power to influence Lena. As her boyfriend, Chris accepted his role humbly, willing to be second to

"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
