Chris arrived at the apartment. As soon as he entered, he smelled a delightful aroma wafting from the kitchen.There, he found Lena busily cooking, tending to a pot of chicken soup that had been simmering for hours. Though soup required patience, she did not seem to mind. She lifted the lid and took a whiff, then used a small spoon to taste it before she smiled in satisfaction.Chris leaned against the kitchen doorway, a mix of emotions washing over him as he observed her.He walked over quietly and embraced her from behind, causing her to jump in surprise. He tightened his hands around her waist, and she relaxed upon recognizing his familiar touch."What are you doing?" she asked softly.Chris did not reply. Instead, he took in her scent and kissed her neck tenderly.Lena shrank into herself, her face flushing.Chris chuckled. It seemed he had discovered her sensitive spot."Even though this isn't for me, it still feels great," Chris said softly."What?""To come home and se

When Renee saw Linda coming to the door, she initially appeared flustered but soon wore a smug smile.Linda remained composed. The maroon shawl on her accentuated her grace, and she looked authoritative just standing there. She looked at Renee quietly, reminding herself not to repeat the story of the farmer and the snake.Renee spoke softly. "Aunt Linda, how have you been lately?""You still think of me as your aunt?" Linda glanced behind Renee, and the reporters all lowered their cameras and stood quietly, forced to lower themselves in Mrs. Thompson's presence. "You brought so many people to see me?""They're all seasoned journalists in this field." Renee smiled. "I invited them. I want them to witness something with me today."Linda's expression darkened. She recognized a few faces among the reporters, the ones who always fueled controversies whenever celebrities were involved in scandals."Witness?" Linda sneered. "Witness the bad deeds you've done? Witness how you stole the T

Renee's malicious voice echoed at an opportune moment."She knew everything long ago, and it's all written in her diary! Aunt Linda, Lina, the real liar here is her! She has ulterior motives for getting close to the Thompsons!"Lena yelled, "Stop it!"Renee laughed heartily. "What's wrong? Feeling guilty now? Hahaha! Just like that phrase you once said, thief crying thief—I'm returning these exact words to you!""Renee Thompson!"You are the thief, and your mother is one too! She even seduced my uncle!""Shut your mouth!" Lena lost her composure. She rushed forward to hit Renee but was held back tightly by Lina."Lina, do you know who her mother is?" Renee continued to add fuel to the fire. "Her mother is Krystal, the human trafficker who almost sold us off!""Shut up!" Lena screamed, tears streaming down her face.Anger, panic, shame, and various emotions mingled together in her heart, reaching their climax like a volcano on the verge of eruption.Lina and Linda were both st

Zephyr nagged that he wanted to go along, and called for Cordelia as well.As the group hastily got into the car, the butler awkwardly explained, "Sir, Madam, Mrs. Thompson did not faint, but she said she could handle it herself... Heh, I don't know who relayed the message to this point..."Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.However, Cordelia still frowned. "Linda is strong, but it's still a problem that Renee kicks up a fuss at the doorstep! Besides, Pammy is pregnant. She can't take this kind of commotion!""Right!" Zuko had already instructed the driver to start the car. He could not wait to go back to protect his wife."Let's all go together," Cordelia decided. "Zuko, didn't you have people following Renee all along?""Yes," Zuko replied indifferently. "The people I sent reported she's been actively contacting reporters recently. But I didn't expect her to bring them over today.""What is it for?"Zuko remained silent and glanced at Chris.Chris had the same cold expressi

"She saved you!" Renee's mind was clouded by hatred. "Back then, those people wanted to kidnap you! I was the one who got involved because of you!""You...""Krystal saved you out of consideration for your dad! Saving her old lover's child, she's really noble, huh?"Lina bent over, clutching her stomach, which was throbbing in discomfort."But don't you forget who it was who wanted to kidnap me back then!" Lina bit down hard on each word. She had not wanted to say these heartless words—they were like sharp blades that would leave others wounded. She did not want to fall out with Renee as she still had a last bit of bottom line.But she now understood that Renee was not worth it.Toph's decision to break up with her was correct. There was no need for sympathy when dealing with a venomous snake."It was Melvin who wanted to kidnap me back then! It was Melvin who separated me from my parents for 20 years!"Renee, I always treated you as a younger sister and felt sorry for you for

"Chris, you..." Lena asked him in a murmur, "What are you saying?"Chris' heart clenched, but his words could not be taken back. He did not regret revealing the truth—he was just afraid of seeing the disappointment in Lena's eyes.That look was as if her unwavering beliefs had collapsed, and the light she had always trusted had suddenly gone out. She had thought she was not alone in this world, but it was all a joke now."Lenny..." Chris licked his dry lips. "I'm sorry, I..."Under Lena's gaze, he could not even say a complete sentence.Lena's ears were buzzing. When Renee had exposed her as Nicholas' illegitimate daughter earlier, she had been angry and afraid—angry that Renee had revealed her secret and afraid that she would lose Lina and Nicholas.Now, Chris was saying that she was not from the Thompsons.She felt hopeless. It was like stepping into an abyss. There was nothing left in her world to support her.Her legs gave way, and she collapsed."Lenny!" Chris panicked an

"Lenny, are you adjusting well over there? Do you know that I've been to that mountainous region?"There was no response from the other end, but Chris continued to talk."Haha, you don't believe me? I really have been there! Back when I was still in the military, I assisted a special police unit in that area to eliminate a criminal gang. Hehe... I even earned some merits! So, how about it? Do you think your man is impressive?"I knew it. You must think I'm impressive!"By the way, Lenny, Renee... has been prosecuted. Since her last uproar at the Thompsons', Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda have not planned to let her off. She's now receiving the punishment she deserves."Lenny, look, they all love you very much... and Pammy sends you messages daily. Haven't you seen them?"Oh, I know, the signal in the mountains is not great, and you can't receive messages sometimes, right?"Lena giggled on the other end. That was true—the signal was not very good in the mountains, so she had stopp

It was then she felt a warm rush surge, and there was a sensation... like she was wetting herself!"Ah!" Lina screamed in fright. "Mom! Mom!"Cordelia and Linda quickly turned around. "What is it?"Lina pointed downward.Linda lifted the blanket and saw that a puddle of water had formed beneath her."Your water broke!" Linda pressed the call button.Doctors and nurses rushed in, examined Lina, and then wheeled her into the delivery room.For the next while, every minute and second felt like agony for Zuko. He tried several times to peek through the delivery room door to see what was happening inside, but he could not see anything. The delivery room door had strong soundproofing, so he could not hear any sounds from inside. But he knew Lina must be in pain!He sat on a chair, clutching his hands together and his eyes reddening. He wished he could bear the pain for her."Don't worry," Cordelia comforted. "I heard they have epidurals for childbirth nowadays. I've already arranged

"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
