Lena sat by the bedside, holding Lina's hand, and murmured, "Why isn't it men who go through childbirth... Now you have to endure this pain.""What are you saying?" Lina suppressed her laughter, fearing her incision might open."Isn't it true?! Why should women bear all these pains?" Lena thought about her time teaching in the mountainous area and the plight of those girls from impoverished families. It stirred up a mix of emotions."Sis, when I saw those girls during these past few months in the mountains... I couldn't help but feel bad for them."Lina responded softly. "Tell me about it.""I don't have much education, so I could only teach them P.E. there." Lena chuckled. "But I noticed that these girls were still very restricted even during P.E. classes."The people in that area have conservative mindsets. Some even believe that girls shouldn't go to school. They don't even have a decent pair of sports shoes. They wear hand-me-downs from their brothers that are either too smal

Zuko forced back a laugh. "Uh, dad… Actually, mom isn't entirely wrong...""Hmm?"Zuko began a serious explanation. "You really can't breathe directly before a newborn. She's still so tiny, and what you breathe out is carbon dioxide, while she needs fresh oxygen, so...""You ungrateful brat!" Zephyr finally used his mother's words against his son.From then on, though, Zephyr developed a talent for holding his breath. When facing his granddaughter, he could not only stop breathing but also maintain a loving and radiant smile simultaneously.The most wonderful part was that he could hold his breath while he cradled his granddaughter until she fell asleep. Afterward, he'd gently put her in her crib and release a long breath.Toph watched in amazement and whispered to Zuko, "Dad's skills are good enough for him to enter an ancient tomb! He doesn't even need to breathe!"Before Zuko could laugh, they saw Zephyr glare at them.No living creature was allowed to make any noise while t

Lina gave him a gentle nudge. "I know.""I really love you."Her grin grew even brighter. "I know!""Honey, I..." Zuko wanted to say something even more affectionate, but Lena knocked on the door."Lina!"Zuko took a deep breath with a helpless expression.Lina smiled and let Lena in, but she noticed a few people accompanying Lena."Mr. Chriss?"Elijah nodded, and Kasey also greeted them warmly.Nala hopped around Lina's bedside. "Where's the little baby?""Hey, Nala!" Elijah hurriedly stopped her."It's okay." Lina smiled and patiently explained to Nala, "The baby is in the baby room next door. But she's asleep right now. How about you play with her when she wakes up?"Nala clapped her hands excitedly and ran over to Lena.Elijah looked somewhat helpless and frowned, chiding Kasey in a hushed tone, "I told you not to bring her along. Look, she's just causing trouble!""What's the harm in that?" Zuko said warmly, "It's in a child's nature! Mr. Chriss, I have a daughter no

Lena giggled.It seemed to possess some kind of magic as it instantly quieted Elijah down.Elijah watched her in silence. There seemed to be a resemblance to someone in the way her eyes looked, like a familiar acquaintance. The strange feeling he had for her increased a little more.Elijah said in a low voice, "Lena, I've resigned."Lena nodded. "I just heard in the room. Are you really not planning to continue at the Thompson Group?""I have my own things to do.""Alright." Lena shrugged."You seem... not to care whether I stay at the Thompson Group?""Why should I care?" Lena looked at him sideways. "As long as you don't go against Lina, you can be anywhere. But if you dare to pick on the Thompsons, I'll bring you back from the ends of the earth."Elijah was at a loss for words.Originally, he wanted to ask Lena if she would be willing to go to his family's company and work with him. After all, he needed help now. Instead of looking for someone else outside, it would be bet

Lena stiffened momentarily, her mind in a daze. This was not the first time Chris had suggested going home to meet his parents and discuss marriage. Previously, when he had brought it up, she had found excuses to avoid the conversation. But this time, she did not know what excuse she could use.Chris' gaze dimmed slightly. "Lenny, don't you want to come home with me?"Lena bit her lip, her heart pounding. The more these moments came up, the less she could find the right words to say.Chris was getting anxious. "Don't you want to marry me?"Of course, Lena wanted to! She just was unable to say it.Sometimes, she really disliked her personality—introverted, keeping everything inside, as if she were deliberately resisting communication with the outside world.Chris took a deep breath and slowly let go of his hand around her waist. He turned away from her. When he turned back, he met her sparkling eyes. In those eyes, he glimpsed a moment of timidity, a side of Lena he had never seen

Lena lowered her head and remained silent, a faint blush creeping onto her face.Persephone had fallen asleep, so Zephyr and Cordelia invited Nicholas and Linda to hang out elsewhere.Zuko stretched, preparing to go to his study to deal with some work.Chris patted his shoulder and gave him a signal with his eyes."What's up?" "I need a favor." Chris grinned. "Let's talk in your study.""But..." Zuko's gaze turned to Lena.Lena chuckled. "I'll go chat with Pamym for a bit.""Something's… not quite right with you two." Zuko immediately noticed the issue. "Chris, is what you're going to talk to me about the same as what Lena will discuss with my wife?""Get over here!" Chris grabbed and dragged him into the study.Lena knocked on the door.Lina had just woken up and greeted her with exceptional joy."Sis, don't move!" Lena hurriedly pressed her down. "You have a surgical wound!""It's healed already!" Lina smiled wryly. "It's been a month. Can't I move a bit?""I've had wo

In the study, on the other side.Chris was also pouring his heart out to Zuko. "Lenny… She...""She's perfectly fine." Zuko chuckled. "Apart from her background, what doesn't match up with you? Besides, do we really need to consider family backgrounds when two people are together? You've always been unconventional! You even dared to change the name our great-grandfather gave you.""I don't care about it, but Lenny is too levelheaded!" Chris smiled wryly. "While others lose their wits when they're in love, I feel like Lenny's IQ keeps increasing the more she's in love!""Don't be ungrateful!""I'm quite content," Chris said, looking at him. "But just this meeting-the-parents thing, you have to help me!"Zuko looked at him disdainfully."Zuko, I don't care!" Chris started to act like a child. "If you don't agree today, I'll...""You'll what?""I'll come to cuddle your daughter every day!" Chris smirked. "I'll hold her to sleep and let her know how comfortable it is to be cuddled
Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 1459
Before going to meet Chris' parents, Lena had already heard Lina's introduction. Chris' father was Marco Hamerton—not particularly outstanding among the Hamerton descendants, but far from mediocre.Marco was knowledgeable and gentlemanly. He had little interest in business and had dedicated his life to archaeological research. He was also an honorary professor in the Ancient Literature Department at the University of Centrolis.His wife, Fleur Warnock, also had quite a background. The Warnocks were a prominent military family, with ancestors stationed on the border that continued to this day. Many members of the Warnocks held important positions in the military, especially in border areas. Fleur's family played a significant role in maintaining peace on the border.On their way to the meeting, Chris said, "Lenny, my mom's been pampered since childhood. Besides, my grandfather has several sons, but she's his only daughter. As such, she's been doted on. Her temper is a bit... Well, it

"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
