Under his mother's careful upbringing, Daniel excelled, but it also molded his cold temperament. Meeting Maisie made him realize there was an extremely soft spot deep within his heart.

Daniel gently kissed her forehead and said, "We can't choose our birth families, but we can choose the life we lead.

"I promise you that in your future, I'll always be there." He added, looking into her eyes with a soft smile, "Of course, if that's what you want."

Maisie smiled, quietly nestled in his embrace. After a while, she casually remarked, "Sometimes, I doubt if I'm really my mom's biological child. Her unfair treatment between Owen and me is just too much!"

"Maybe... not all parents love their children."

"No." Maisie gently poked him. "It should be—not all parents love their children equally!"

"Right."

"In fact, I can understand her." Maisie sighed wryly. "Shortly after I was born, my father passed away due to an accident.

    "No need!" Maisie tilted her head and pouted. "Don't you hate people interfering with your things?""That was in the past," Daniel's voice was deep. His hand was playful as he pinched her earlobe softly. The subtle pinch made her heart skip a beat.Leaning in, he whispered in her ear with warm breath, "You'll have to participate in everything about me from now on!"She looked at him, cheeks burning, looked down, and chuckled.Outside, it was sunny. A breeze blew, and the soft sunlight seemed to make its way into the car.-Maisie went to the office to submit an outline to Lily, the mission she was given.Lily remarked, "I think the script you wrote is good. The company is thinking of diversifying. Would you like to try being a screenwriter?"She had worked for a few days and submitted the script outline. Lily smiled in satisfaction while reading it."Your writing is good, and the story flows," she marked it with a pencil. "There are things to note... Go slightly faster. The ma

    "What?"Lily eagerly shared her plan with Maisie, "Harvey is an illustrator. I'm planning to create an illustrated version of your book since it's trendy. We'll market it immediately and earn more money!"Lily continued. "I think he has a great style. I'm considering having him illustrate all our books. Take a look at his work and have a conversation with him."Maisie hesitated and said, "Um…"Lily quickly discerned the issue. "What? Are you worried about upsetting Daniel?"Maisie smiled awkwardly.Lily reassured her, "It's just a job. Don't worry about him. You'll only communicate with Harvey during working hours. You'll go home on your own, right? If you still have concerns…"She glanced around and whispered, "I'll be with you guys during work. With me around, there's nothing Daniel can say!"Rachael entered with Harvey.He greeted them with a polite smile and called out to Lily enthusiastically.Then he turned to Maisie, saying, "I've met you before, at the tea party and h

    The woman chuckled. "Ms. Reyes, I'm sure you remember me. We met at a work dinner. I'm Harvey's sister, Jodie Newhouse."Lily was stunned but greeted her with a smile, "Oh... So it's Ms. Newhouse. I remember you.""Did my brother have an outburst again?" Jodie asked."What?"Lily and Maisie exchanged glances, uncertainty written on their faces.The moment Harvey locked eyes with Jodie upon entering, Maisie noticed the upbeat man's face turn grim as he clenched his fists.Soon, he released his fists.Just as Lily was about to ask about the situation, she noticed a few medical staff following behind Jodie.Even more confused, Lily asked, "Ms. Jodie, what's this?""Go away!" Harvey erupted suddenly, shouting and throwing his drawing book at them. "Get out! Get the hell out—""Don't do this, Harvey!" Jodie said.Jodie signaled the doctors, and they swiftly moved forward to restrain him.He struggled vehemently but was outnumbered, held like a fish on a chopping board. A madness

    "I'm okay." Maisie's voice was weak.Lily beckoned Rachael over, urging her to escort Maisie to the meeting room for some much-needed rest. To be safe, she discreetly contacted Daniel, enlisting him to come and pick her up.Upon hearing the surprising turn of events, Daniel headed to the company to collect Maisie. -Once Maisie was comfortably settled, he thought for a moment before calling Toph."Uncle?" Toph's cheerful voice resonated, accompanied by the sound of his vibrant laughter. "Miss me? Hold on, I'm in the middle of drawing... The signal's a bit dodgy here. Let me find a better spot!"After some rustling noise, Toph returned with a smile, saying, "Found a good spot, uncle. We're good to chat now! What can I do for you?""Hmm..." Daniel pondered. "Did Sephy grow taller? I've been away from Centrolis for so long, and I miss that little girl.""Did you get it mixed up? I'm her uncle, not her dad! You should ask my brother about her!""Oh…" Daniel paused. "How about my

    "Oh, really?"Daniel found himself increasingly intrigued by Harvey, especially after conversing with Toph.In his normal state, Daniel perceived Harvey as an ordinary man. However, when triggered, he transformed into the chaotic force that Lily had vividly described—a person capable of turning the entire office upside down.Yet, the mystery lingered. Why did Harvey get triggered in the first place?Concerns arose about Harvey's well-being. Was anyone at home aware of his illness? And what about his sister?Toph had mentioned that she would arrive promptly with doctors whenever Harvey experienced an outburst. Daniel pondered, pursing his lips involuntarily."Uncle?" Toph's repeated calls snapped him back to reality. "Is there anything else you'd like to talk about?""No," he replied. "Say hi to your parents for me. Also... I hope to see you in Cumulus City soon."Amused, Toph replied, "Haha, are you referring to the book? I'm afraid I'm not as skilled as Harvey!""You're prett

    Nobody had taught Harvey to be wary of those closest to him.Jodie grinned and departed, arranging for the doctors to clean up the mess.As usual, Harvey fought with all his might, only to find himself restrained on the bed, tranquilizer coursing through his veins.Before long, his eyes closed, and he drifted into a stupor.During these episodes, fragments from his past would unfailingly flash in his mind.From a young age, Harvey had unknowingly distanced himself from his sister. Perhaps it was his extroverted facade and cold inner world. Outwardly friendly, he kept his heart guarded.His artistic expressions swung between two extremes, making him question if he might be schizophrenic. He had even consulted a doctor.Little did he anticipate it would become Jodie's tool...She had bribed the doctor, fabricating a report of his mental illness and successfully excluding him from the Newhouse Group's heirs.A searing headache gripped him, images hazy and disjointed. The tranquil

    Daniel stood in stunned silence. "Why?" he finally managed to ask.Maisie pondered for a while before replying, "Because... I can't pinpoint it, but his style is impactful. I've examined Toph's test illustration. It's good, but it lacks the same impact."Do you know, Daniel? There are a couple of scenes Harvey drew that perfectly match what I imagined when I wrote! The figures, expressions, and movements are exactly as I picture them. Isn't that magical?"Daniel couldn't decipher his emotions. He believed he had the strongest connection with her in this world.Sensing his mood, Maisie softly grabbed his arm and leaned on him playfully."But you're the most magical one," she said gently, "You lost me and found me again. And I willingly came back to you. Isn't that magical?"His heart jolted, and he detected a warm fragrance on her.Unable to resist, he smirked, proud but not letting it get to his head. He suppressed the urge to hug and kiss her, opting to gently caress her cheek.

    "Then there's no need to ask me." Rachael smiled. "You've already made up your mind.""But I'd like to know what you think."Rachael looked down, unusually quiet for the day."I'll share my concerns then," she said after a while. "Harvey comes from a prestigious background, after all. Even if he's mentally stable, we should get the family's consent before signing him."A strange expression lingered on her face. She hesitated.Lily trusted her completely, always straightforward in their conversations. However, she failed to notice the subtle change in Rachael's expression.Rachael continued. "No matter what, you can't just ignore everything else to get Maisie an illustrator.""Huh?" Lily frowned. She didn't understand."Of course, I must get the best illustrator for my writer! Maisie's book is hot right now. We'll miss out if we don't seize this opportunity to publish the comic version. If it's a success, the company will make a big profit. I'm serious about this.""Really?" Ra

    "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
