Chapter 1503

Author: Breaking Wave
Alexander stared directly at Drake with a faint smile.

Drake opened the door to welcome him inside, and Alexander's expression turned complex as he surveyed the grand surroundings. It was a place adorned with gold, and it struck Alexander as improbable that Drake now resided there.

Alexander grinned slyly. Did he truly deserve this?

"Why are you here?" Drake prodded him curtly from behind. "Shouldn't you be in school right now?"

Alexander turned to face him, his tone indifferent. "I wanted to see you, so I came."

"See me?" Drake felt surprised.

"When has a kid like you ever thought about his old man?" Drake's words were oddly accurate. Who would think about a father who only knew how to inflict pain?

"Let me be direct so you can get back to your drinking." Alexander observed the bottle in Drake's hand and then eyed his pocket with a cunning glint. "I've got it all figured out!"

"What?"

"I saw that woman giving you money."

Drake panicked, trying to muffle his words, but Alexa

    On Sunday, Alexander visited Lena after getting the money.At first, he thought about taking her out for a meal, but he understood that things had changed for her. A simple meal wouldn't mean much to her now, considering she must have enjoyed many good meals before.Nevertheless, he was determined to use the money to do something special for her, so he suggested they go somewhere else."Ms. Lena, how about a trip to the amusement park? My treat," Alexander suggested with enthusiasm.Lena was initially hesitant but found it difficult to decline when Alexander was so excited about the idea. She agreed to meet him at the amusement park.Surprisingly, it was Lena's first visit to an amusement park.Despite residing in Centrolis for many years, she had always harbored an instinctive aversion to places like this. She believed that the happiness and laughter found in such places didn't belong to her world, which she felt was confined to the gray, overcast sky.Even during her time with

    In Alexander's mind, a faint childhood memory had always lingered. Back then, Lena used to carry him on her back during the day and sing him to sleep at night. Lena was the only beacon of light in his life, where warmth was scarce.Who said that three- or four-year-old kids couldn't remember? That memory stayed with him as he grew up, guiding him to reunite with his sister."Sis, please don't cry, okay? Ms. Lena!"Lena paused for a moment with tears in her eyes before smiling at him.The two of them found a cozy little eatery to sit down, which happened to be the same place where Chris took her for pizza.Julius warmly greeted them. "Oh, what a rare visit! This is...""I'm her younger brother!" Alexander replied swiftly.Lena smiled at him and ordered two pizzas.Julius initially looked a bit skeptical, but then he disappeared into the kitchen. When he returned, he brought two generous servings of pizzas."Dig in!" Lena handed Alexander a plate. "This place is great—reasonable

    Lena smiled as she gently stroked Alexander's head. He didn't feel distant from her at all. When he noticed she had more pepperoni slices on her pizza, he playfully snatched them."Hey, why are you taking my pepperoni?" Lena protested."The owner is clearly biased, giving you so much!" Alexander countered."No way, you can't just take them!" Lena chuckled. "These are pepperoni with love from the owner!""I am growing and need to eat more!" Alexander quipped.They chatted and finished their pizzas quickly.Lena considered ordering another one for Alexander when she heard a sweet voice say, "Miss!" just as she was about to get up.Surprised, she turned to see a cute little girl dashing toward her. "Nala?"Nala hugged Lena tightly and nuzzled her head against her.Alexander watched in awe. He had never seen such a pretty little girl with two braids and a puffy princess dress. She resembled the princess they had seen at the amusement park earlier.Could she be a real princess fro

    Drake's heart trembled, and he swiftly concealed himself out of sight. Camping out lately hadn't even allowed him a clear glimpse of Persephone.Meanwhile, Bianca's relentless phone calls persisted."Dickinson, what are you up to all day? I asked you to take a child, not divine apples. Is it really that challenging?"'Damn it!' Drake cursed silently. 'Stealing those apples might indeed be easier!'Despite his inner frustrations, he forced a smile. "Heh... Ms. Bianca, t-this isn't a cakewalk! I've been keeping a close watch these days. Those bodyguards are all armed. I'll get shot at if I rashly try to snatch the kid!""You're worthless." Bianca scoffed. "I've greased palms on my end, and you're letting me down!"Drake suppressed his anger and remained silent."Listen up!" Bianca pressed on. "If you can't get this done, forget about your presidential suite and a single cent! Go back to your village and embrace poverty!"Drake's heart sank at the prospect. Going from luxury to po

    "Mom, are we eating here again today?""Yes, don't you love the braised bass here?"Nala frowned and pouted. She held back her desire to say, "But I want to eat at home."Despite her young age, she could sense that her mother had been in a bad mood for the past few days. Even her response just now seemed indifferent.Nala couldn't grasp the complexities of the adult world. She didn't understand why things could go from sunny to stormy instantly. All she knew was that whenever someone sent her mother pictures of her dad with other women, Kasey would react this way."Mom..."Nala tugged at Kasey's hand, but the latter suddenly let go and stared tensely at something, hurrying away.Nala was startled, and her doll slipped from her grasp."Mom—""Nala, stay right here and don't move!" Kasey shouted anxiously as she rushed ahead. "Mom will be back in a moment!"Helplessly, Nala stood there, watching her mother's figure gradually disappear.This had happened before. Whenever Kasey

    Nala's eyes widened with surprise as she gazed at him."I have something really tasty with me. Are you feeling hungry?" Drake asked.Nala firmly shook her head and started to retreat, but Drake swiftly blocked her path."Hey, don't go. Stay right there!" He held onto her with a tight grip. "Um... Your mom actually sent me to find you!"Nala hesitated for a moment upon hearing it was her mother. "Is it really her?"Drake continued, weaving his tale. "Didn't she just dash off suddenly? She told you to wait here, didn't she?""Yes...""That's correct!" Drake beamed. "Little one, if you leave like this, what if your mom can't find you?""She knows where to find me. I'll just play here for a bit and then head back to the lobby!""Oh..." Drake glanced around. "I know that lobby. I'll take you there!"Nala became wary and cautiously freed herself, stepping back a couple of paces."I'm truly a friend of your mother's. If you don't go back, she'll be anxious when she can't locate you

    "Must you interfere in my affairs, you stinky brat?" Drake grumbled, annoyed.Alexander was his son, and he didn't plan to keep secrets from him. In his eyes, they shared the same blood. No matter how much he scolded or disciplined him, he couldn't abandon his own flesh and blood.He opened a drawer and found a pair of scissors, cutting off Nala's braids, which fell to the floor.Alexander was shocked. He wanted to stop his father, but he knew he couldn't match Drake's strength, so he bit his lip and approached him. "Dad, are you really going to sell this girl?""It's not my choice. It's what Bianca wants," Drake said with a frown, instructing Alexander to fetch some of his old clothes from the wardrobe.Alexander brought the clothes and watched as Drake's dirty hands tore at Nala's small dress. He exclaimed, "What are you doing?""You little troublemaker!" Drake glared at him. "Lower your voice. Do you want to expose us?""Dad, you—""I need to change this girl's clothes! Her

    Bianca halted, fixated on Chris. He appeared uneasy, isolated in a corner, engrossed in his phone, and occasionally relocating to make calls elsewhere.She quietly trailed him, faintly catching his hushed and anxious words."Have you found her?""Tell them not to worry... If the kidnappers are after money, they'll definitely call!"Her heart raced. 'Kidnappers? Who are they searching for? Is that Lena on the other end?'Suddenly, Toph called out, "Chris, what are you doing?"Bianca concealed herself as Toph dashed over in his usual carefree manner to usher Chris away."My brother couldn't find you anywhere. Why did you come here? Come eat!"As they proceeded, Chris and Toph coincidentally passed by Bianca. Their eyes locked, causing both of them to freeze.Bianca swiftly evaded his gaze and forced a greeting, "Chris...""Eh, Bianca?" Toph inquired, much like Arya, "What are you doing here? My brother didn't invite you, did he?""You..."Bianca's frustration grew, but Toph a

    "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
