"Grandpa Nicholas!" Persephone exclaimed, her eyes scanning the room, eager to find her grandfather.

Unbeknownst to her, he was already crouched behind the sofa.

Linda was exasperated. "What else has your grandfather been teaching you?"

Persephone continued. "Grandpa said people should eat when they're hungry, sleep when they're tired, and speak their minds when they're unhappy.

"He also mentioned we don't have to be nice to people like that! Just give them three words—just beat them!

"Oh, he also told me that you were really good at fighting when you were young!"

Maisie struggled to stifle her laughter but couldn't help but chuckle, covering her face with embarrassment and turning away.

Persephone lifted her chin, acting as if she had achieved something incredible, her expression filled with pride.

Linda took a deep breath but couldn't hold back any longer and finally snapped. "Nicholas Thompson!" she thundered.

Even though he was hiding behind the sofa, he was still pulled o

    Maisie picked up the phone and was met with a barrage of shouting. "Ms. Squire, is this how you teach children? Allowing them to fight without intervening? Is this how you set an example?!"Maisie felt frustrated but patiently explained, "Ma'am, I've talked to you about James' issues before—""Stop with the excuses!" the woman interrupted arrogantly. "My son is being bullied in your class, and I won't let this slide. You'll see!"With that, she hung up.Maisie shook her head and sighed. Working at this kindergarten had always been one of her most enjoyable experiences. She loved children and the environment, feeling fortunate to have a job she was passionate about. This was her first time encountering such a difficult and unreasonable parent.Daniel looked at her with concern and asked, "Is there a problem? Do you need me...""It's okay," Maisie replied, feeling a bit embarrassed. "I can't trouble you anymore. I'm a teacher, and it's my responsibility to handle conflicts with par

    Even if Mrs. Bayer had some influence, she couldn't compete against these famous wealthy families on her own. Plus, her son had gotten into trouble with the young Hamerton heiress!Even if Ruth was slow, she knew what mattered most in this situation. This matter couldn't be smoothed over!Maisie was there, too. Faced with Mrs. Bayer's irrational behavior, she calmly said, "Mrs. Bayer, it was James who provoked the other children first.""But my son got beaten up. That's a fact!"Maisie smiled. "By your reasoning, this should only be children playing around."Mrs. Bayer was furious. "What kind of teacher are you? How can you say that?""When James was causing trouble, that's how you described it. So, I assume that's your logic. Why, Mrs. Bayer? When your son bullies others, it's just children playing, but when someone hits him back, it's their fault? Mrs. Bayer, it seems you have quite the double standard!"Mrs. Bayer's eyes widened, her chest heaving. She glared at Maisie for a

    Maisie forced a stiff smile as she shook her head."Ms. Squire, you've been working hard recently. How about we give you some time off?" Ruth kindly suggested. "Take a few days to rest, and if that difficult parent returns, I'll handle it.""Ms. Corbin—""It's okay!" Ruth smiled. "You've earned a break. Here's the plan—you can delegate your classroom duties to other teachers, and you take some time to relax and recharge. Then, we'll handle this challenging parent together."Maisie gratefully nodded and quickly passed on her responsibilities.However, she couldn't relax properly at home. The name "Sophia" on the application form felt like it was taunting her. She could see the woman with her arms crossed whenever she closed her eyes.She hesitated for a while but eventually dialed Graham's number.They arranged to meet that evening.When the appointed time came, Maisie heard movement across the hall and quickly got up to open the door, just in time to see Graham return."M-Mais

    Graham shifted his eyes and nervously chuckled. "Are you overworked lately? It's pretty late now. How about you get some rest, and we can talk later?"With that, Graham turned and left.Maisie watched him go, thinking about his evasive words. She leaned against the wall with a bitter smile.She had a feeling that their relationship had come to an end.That night, Maisie tossed and turned in bed for a long time. Her mind was a mess, and her thoughts were all over the place. She rolled over and spotted the teddy bear on her bedside table. She grabbed it and hugged it tightly.Soon, she drifted into a dream.In her dream, she saw a bright white light that faded to reveal a beautiful small villa with a yard full of vibrant orchids in various colors.Intrigued, she pushed open the front door, revealing a room filled with classic Eropah-style furniture. The decor was both subtle and luxurious. She stood there in shock, unsure of what to do. Then she saw someone on the sofa, who slowly

    "But..." Maisie hesitated. "Mr. Quimby, this is my responsibility. Those kids in that class are under my care. If the parents have any issues or complaints, I should handle them.""I told you not to go!" Daniel's tone became firmer. His gaze was intense, like an unfathomable abyss, exuding an intimidating presence.Maisie's heart raced. Daniel looked stern, even somewhat ruthless, but she wasn't afraid. She didn't know why, but she wasn't afraid of him no matter how he appeared."Mr. Quimby..."He lowered his voice and firmly squeezed her shoulder. "Maisie, leave everything to me."Maisie suddenly realized that Daniel might know something. Her heart pounded, and she stared at him. "Mr. Quimby, is there something you want to tell me?"Daniel bit his lip. After remaining silent for a while, he said, "I won't hide it from you. I've actually already investigated your fiance.""What are you saying?"Daniel produced a photo, and Maisie's mind went blank."James' mother, Sophia, has

    "Uncle Daniel," Zuko said, hugging Lina. He chuckled. "We're here for Sephy, but we're also curious about James' father.""Hah, not a good guy for sure!" Zuko's business partner chimed in. He was close to the Hamertons."You can tell by the kid's mother. Both husband and wife must be birds of a feather. That's why they raised such a rotten kid!"Lina patted the woman's hand and smiled gently."Mrs. Hamerton, I know you have a good temper and are generous, but don't stop me later! That brat has bullied my son, and I'm determined to get justice for my child today!"As she finished speaking, the meeting room door swung open. Sophia exuded arrogance as she entered in high heels. James followed behind her with a frown and scanned everyone with a deep grudge.Sophia patted James' head and reassured him not to be scared."Ms. Corbin, folks," she said and took off her sunglasses, her crimson lips forming a mocking smirk. "My son was hit in kindergarten, and I'm determined to get to the

    Graham began hesitantly, "Pammy, I—" "That's enough!" Zuko said firmly, taking a step forward to control his anger. "Graham, we've grown up together since childhood. Even if we're not as close as siblings, I've always considered you a friend. I never thought you were this kind of person!"Lina was also furious, staring at Graham. "If you had already set your sights elsewhere, why did you have to involve Maisie? What did she do wrong?""Stop it, both of you!" Graham growled. "We're here today to resolve the children's issues, not mine!""You...""Ms. Corbin, fellow parents," Graham said, stepping forward and bowing slightly. "My son has misbehaved, and as his father, I'll definitely take responsibility for it. Don't worry. I won't evade it, and I'll have my lawyer discuss how to compensate. But my son was beaten—that's something I won't let go of either!""What did you say?!" The usually calm and collected Zuko couldn't control himself. "Graham, have you lost your mind?!""Zuko!

    "I'm sorry, Maisie. I... I didn't want to hurt you," Graham said."You can't hurt me," Maisie stated, gazing into his eyes. "Because I've realized today that my feelings for you aren't that deep."Graham was taken aback, his head snapping up."I just can't understand one thing." Maisie spoke softly. "Since you were already in love with someone else, why did you date me?"Graham's throat tightened. He licked his lips and hoarsely replied, "Because Aunt Linda introduced you, and my parents were quite satisfied with you…"Plus, you're beautiful, without a strong background, and easy to control… Even if I had other women after we got married, you wouldn't do anything to me, nor would your family would be able to do anything to me."Maisie's eyes widened. So, he wanted to marry her because she was easy to bully and had no family to back her up?It made sense. In a family with matching backgrounds, someone like Lina or Arya would never put up with that. Not to mention that they wouldn

    "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
