"Don't worry. It's my treat." Daniel glanced at Camila, "Order anything you want."

"It's fine, really," Camila smiled. "Daniel, you might be curious as to why I can't even bear to buy a cup of coffee…

"In reality, this is my life at home. I appear glorious on the outside as a Quimby heiress, but only I know the suffering behind everything. My parents neglect me while my siblings do their best to boycott me.

"I have a driver when I go out, I have food when I go home, but none of those belong to me. My jobs were the only things that belonged to me all these years."

She looked sad, and it was the first time she had said so much to him.

"Daniel, I-I'm sorry," she stammered. "I used your name to work for Ms. Lily. She's your ex-wife, so I…"

"It's alright. It's just a job," he said flatly. "It's good that Lily could help you."

"So you don't mind it?"

"Why would I?"

"Don't worry, Daniel." She bit her lip. "I'll do my best. I won't embarrass you."

Daniel nodded. He did not worry abou

    Camila briskly shook her head. "I-I just said that on a whim. I don't mean anything else. It's really nothing, Daniel!"Daniel looked at her and remained silent."Actually, I've admired Maisie for years." She changed the topic. "I can see that she genuinely loves you. She's an honest girl, the perfect partner. Such a relationship is rare."Oh yes, Daniel, I heard she… lost her memory?"Aniel looked up and fixed his gaze on her. The coldness in his eyes sent chills down her spine. She dared not say more.The atmosphere grew rather awkward. He spoke flatly a moment later. "Her health was lacking earlier. Thanks for your concern. I hope you'll take care of her when the two of you work together.""Yes, yes!" She readily agreed. "Of course!"He smiled, and their conversation came to an end.-Life resembled a peaceful lake under the sun—quietly flowing, without a ripple.Maisie continued to learn and recharge, making rapid progress. She submitted drafts on time, and soon, it was t

    Lily beamed as she said, "I'm buying, so we can go anywhere you want!"After work, they arrived at a restaurant, and Lily, always generous in entertaining, chose a high-end one. She even extended the invitation to her colleagues, including famous authors and their agents. Among them was Camila.They chatted happily in the private room. The famous authors expressed confidence in Maisie, eagerly anticipating her new book to create history for the company."See? So many people are confident about you. I told you that you're great, remember?" Lily patted Maisie's shoulder, smiling. "I told you not to work as a journalist back then. Why would you want to do that? I'm glad that Amanda pulled a trick and you ended up not taking the journalist examination! I should thank her!""Ahem, boss..." Rachael signaled urgently from the side."Oh, no, no... Look at me!" Lily corrected herself. "I wanted to say that even without Amanda, you wouldn't be able to get the press pass either!"Some peopl

    Maisie stood in stunned silence as a voice emanated from outside."Yes, I'm worried too!" The two turned toward the source of the voice and spotted Lily walking in, positioning herself in front of the mirror."I'm here to powder my face! Ignore me, go ahead!" Lily declared, and Camila smiled in response.Maisie couldn't shake the feeling that Camila's expression changed upon seeing Lily, though she couldn't be certain if it was just an illusion."Oh, Maisie, are you going home?" Lily turned her head to inquire after applying lipstick. "Perfect. We're done eating now, so I thought we'd call it a night so that everyone could go home. I'll give you a ride! Rachael didn't drink. She'll drive!""I…" Maisie attempted to speak, but Camila interjected, "Is that okay, Ms. Lily? Won't it be awkward if you run into my cousin when you send her home?""Hmm?" Lily, a bit tipsy from the drinks, hadn't considered that. She asked aloud, "What's there to be awkward about? Do you think it's awkward

    "Will you stay here with me?" Maisie asked.Daniel smiled and gently patted Maisie's head, wrapping her in a tight embrace.However, Maisie found it difficult to succumb to sleep when the person she loved was beside her. She opened her eyes and gazed at him, savoring every moment and reluctant to let time slip away in slumber."Why are you looking at me like this?" Daniel asked with a smile."I suddenly don't feel like sleeping anymore. Can we talk?" Maisie requested.He nodded and smiled, extending his hand to pat her head."Daniel.""What is it?""Why do you love patting my head so much? It's like I'm a kitten or a puppy!" Maisie blurted out unintentionally, noticing a change in his expression.Daniel examined his hand, his fingertips trembling. It seemed like a subconscious habit, triggering a recollection of Maisie saying similar words in the past, albeit with pain and despair echoing through her screams."I'm not a puppy or a kitten. I'm the woman who loves you! I don't

    Maisie smiled and took the initiative to kiss Daniel's cheek. He was flying. He thought he was going to hear a different answer—never had he thought she would inch closer to his ear. Shyly and sweetly, she said, "I can't wait… for the day I become your bride.""Maisie…"Again, he couldn't help it.She pushed him away and smiled, her cheeks blushing. "Okay, I don't want to sleep anymore. I'm going to write now!""Oh." He was quite unwilling. "I'll be your company.""I'm quite hungry!" she claimed.He smirked. "Got it. I'll unpack the breakfast!"-The preparation for the book launch was almost done.Lily had been terribly busy the past few days, looking at the venue herself, contacting the emcee, dealing with other tasks, and monitoring the launch progress.This made Maisie feel sorry and stressed—she kept thinking that she would waste Lily's effort if the book did not sell well.Today at the office, she ran into Rachael, who smiled as soon as she saw her and said, "Did you n

    "By the way, I've been meaning to talk to you." Camila walked alongside her in the corridor. "There are some parts of your manuscript that aren't quite right. I've marked them for you, and you need to make some changes.""More changes?" Maisie felt a pang of anxiety. Since the manuscript had landed in Camila's hands, it had been undergoing constant revisions.Camila always said that, in her professional opinion, this part wasn't right and that part wasn't right... Maisie made changes according to her suggestions, and the manuscript had lost a bit of its original essence in the process.However, her main concern was that the deadline on the signed contract was approaching. If they kept changing things, what if it led to a delay? The penalty for breach of contract was a substantial amount, and she didn't want to have to pay such a large sum before the book was even sold."Camila." Maisie forced a smile, trying to test the waters. "Can we stop making changes? If we keep going... the m

    Maisie collected herself, remaining silent for a while. The kindness Daniel had shown her, her acquaintance with Lily, and what kind of person Lily really was—she had a clear picture of it all.She smiled, looking at Camila with a glint of pureness and determination in her eyes. "You're overthinking. I'm not reading too much into it.""Oh, that's good!" Camila smiled. "I was worried... that you might mind Daniel's past with Ms. Reyes, so...""What's there to mind?" Maisie enunciated each word. "They didn't really have a past!""What?" Camila, who was taken aback, forced a smile. "Well... you really don't know? They...""They were married before, but they separated right afterward. They just got married for the sake of family interests." Maisie spoke nonchalantly. "They were married in name only. It was not like you said."“Hah, Daniel told you this?" Camila composed herself and took another sip of water. "Do you believe him?""Why wouldn't I?" Maisie chuckled. "He's told me ever

    "What do you have to say for yourself?" Daniel, who was not easy to coax, didn't even turn around. "How many times have I told you? No staying up late! You clearly haven't taken my words seriously, have you?!""Daniel..."Maisie's face nuzzled against his broad back, her voice tender as she spoke. "I was wrong, okay? I won't stay up late again... I just really want to do this well, in case something unexpected happens. I don't want to end up with nothing."Daniel's heart melted instantly. He was only worried about her, so he did not blame her. Upon hearing her say this, he quickly turned around. Seeing her standing barefoot on the floor, he scooped her up like a princess and gently placed her on the sofa.His gaze showed a hint of helplessness as he smiled, sitting beside her."I know you want to do well." He held her hand. "But your health is more important, right?"Maisie nodded quickly."If you continue to neglect your health and stay up every night, then I'll have to move in

    "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
