Fleur didn't seem to treat Lena as her future daughter-in-law. Instead, she appeared eager to separate Lena and Chris immediately. Lena wanted to laugh but refrained, fearing she might wake up the sleeping Persephone.Lina sighed softly and said, "How can I describe my aunt? She may seem arrogant, intimidating, and self-centered, much like Zuko's grandfather, but beneath it all, she's actually quite kind-hearted. She may have her flaws, but considering her upbringing, they make sense."Lena pursed her lips and smiled.She had heard that Zuko's grandfather was the pufferfish of Southeast Asia. She couldn't help but wonder what Fleur would look like when she was all puffed up.Fleur came from a family of heroic men, her father being a general. Given her unique status as the only daughter in her family, it was understandable that she was spoiled.Chris had mentioned she married Marco, an elegant scholar, right after graduation. Her in-laws continued to spoil her. Chris often said t

Fleur couldn't deny that Chris had a unique taste. She was about to explore this further when suddenly, a voice interrupted her thoughts."Madam Fleur?""Oh my, it's really Madam Fleur!""What brings you out today, Madam Fleur? Afternoon tea, perhaps?"Fleur nearly choked on her coffee.Lena was also surprised when she glanced up. She saw a group of wealthy women adorned with jewelry surrounding them, eager to flatter."Your shawl is lovely, Madam Fleur!""Your skin is flawless, Madam Fleur. Look at me; I look so tired compared to you!""Indeed. Just compare Madam Fleur's skincare regimen to yours! Hahaha!"They were having a good time, but Fleur's smile seemed forced. She was honest and had a touch of social anxiety, especially when taking photos with the affluent. They always insisted on her being in the center, requiring her to fake a smile.Fleur could endure many things, but pretending to smile was not one of them. She would rather avoid it at all costs."Madam Fleur!"

Fleur sped along, with her bodyguards trailing behind in a state of panic. Eventually, she pulled over at the entrance of DL Mall.She hadn't informed anyone in advance, so no one was there to clear the area or welcome her.Lena stood at the opulent store's entrance, uncertain of what to do."Go inside!" Fleur urged impatiently. "Everything in there is a limited edition. Pick a ring. Don't worry about the price."Lena's eyes widened."Oh no, consider the price!" Fleur thought for a moment. "We can't let them think my family can't afford a ring. Go in and choose the most expensive one, got it?"Lena was rendered speechless."Okay, okay, that's the plan!" Fleur said, turning away. "Select one. I'll be back after using the restroom.""Mrs. Hamerton—"Fleur hurriedly left before Lena could respond.Lena surveyed the store, marveling at its sophistication. They sold diamonds there, and the store itself was like a colossal, gleaming diamond that left one dazzled.The exterior alon

Lena felt uncertain. "Them?" "Those who look down on me! I want to prove how great my family is to our daughter-in-law!" Fleur clenched her teeth, nearly crushing the steering wheel. Lena chuckled, keeping her head down. The large diamond ring on her finger sparkled in an unfamiliar, elegant light. Despite feeling out of place, a unique warmth enveloped Lena.Fleur sped along, instructing her bodyguards to contact the wives on the way. These women usually attempted to flatter her but often fell short.Their shock was evident when they heard Madam Fleur wanted to play poker with them. They promptly agreed and followed her directions.-Lena trailed behind, surveying the club. The atmosphere was serene, posh, and luxurious. The people who came to greet them seemed prestigious, yet they treated Fleur with respect.Once inside the VIP room, Fleur halted and gestured to Lena, who hesitated to extend her arm. Fleur impatiently grabbed her hand and placed it on her own, glaring at

How could Fleur maintain her dignity in Lena's presence now that she had revealed her true feelings so openly?"Um... Lena, could you please fetch my Acme bags from the car?" Fleur asked.Lena responded with a quick smile and promptly got up."This lady isn't bad at all, Madam Fleur," one of the women sincerely complimented. "She's pretty, quiet, and attentive. They say, 'a good wife makes for a good life'. She and Chris are a match made in heaven!"Fleur draped her shawl around her shoulders and adjusted her hat. She could no longer conceal the pride on her face.However, she remained steadfast. "Hey, stop with the nonsense! I didn't agree to their marriage.""You didn't?" The other woman was taken aback. "My son is still single. Perhaps—""What do you want?" Fleur glared at her, silencing everyone.She feigned a cough and elegantly walked out, signaling them to behave.Meanwhile, Lena returned with Fleur's limited edition bag, spotting her outside the VIP room.Fleur accept

When Lena turned her head to look, she spotted a man approaching with a mischievous smirk."Mr. Chriss?"He grinned. "Sorry, I accidentally overheard your conversation with Madam Fleur... Or should I say your future mother-in-law?""Nah," she flatly replied, discreetly slipping the large diamond ring into her pocket."It's not often you see such a huge diamond ring!" He approached. "Look at the color and style. She must have spent a fortune!""I told you it's not happening! Are you done?"Elijah smiled even wider upon seeing her blush. He had been discussing business with a client and had witnessed the mother-and-daughter-in-law drama after the meeting.Lena pouted and attempted to leave, but Elijah stopped her. "Don't leave just yet! I need to talk to you.""What's up?"He didn't beat around the bush. "I'm leaving the Thompson Group to start my own business. I need an assistant. Will you help me?""Me?" Lena was taken aback, thinking he was joking.However, his serious deme

Chris felt flattered, unsure of how to respond.Lena smiled and lightly kissed his cheek. Her soft lips against his skin ignited a sudden rush of warmth within him, making his heart race.Lately, he had an overwhelming sense of possessing her entirely. He recalled Zuko's words about "taking her out with a single shot".Now, he understood the sentiment. The gun was loaded, but he struggled to restrain himself from acting on his desires.Lena noticed his unease. "Hey, what's wrong?""What?" Chris looked into her crystal-clear eyes, his forehead glistening with sweat, and his kissed cheek flushed.He couldn't tear his gaze away from her—his eyes were fixated solely on her. His breath quickened, and he quietly moved farther away from her to avoid embarrassing himself."Are you feeling okay, Chris?" Lena asked, concerned."Umm..." He admitted that a certain part of his body wasn't feeling too well."Can I help?" Lena offered.He mustered a smile, secretly wishing she could "help"

If Elijah didn't like Lena, why did he enjoy their time together so much? It felt like being with family—relaxed, comfortable, and himself.Elijah loosened his tie and flipped through the document. He then looked at Lena and smiled. "The project is almost finished.""Really?" Lena was surprised. "That's quick!""Well, we didn't have to build schools from scratch. We purchased a couple of private ones with excellent facilities, so the project wrapped up swiftly," Elijah explained. Lena smiled, feeling the sunlight outside shining even brighter."Thanks to this charity project, my father-in-law's polling numbers have skyrocketed," he added. "He's a major contender in the Centrolis mayoral campaign. Unless something unexpected occurs, he's set to win.""That's great," Lena's eyes sparkled. "Mr. Chriss, are you going to keep your promise now?"Elijah squinted and nodded with a smile.He had convinced her to bring the kids from the mountains. The schools would handle their food and

"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
