"Of course, it's not instant poisoning." Cindy chuckled. "There's a kind of slow-acting poison. I'll give her a bit during meals, and over time, the poison will take effect in her body... They say even forensic experts find it hard to identify this poison!"Jodie nodded without saying more, half skeptical. She didn't care what kind of poison was used. What she wanted was for Maisie to disappear from this world!-After seeing off Wilfred, Maisie gently hooked her arm around Daniel's, giving him a sweet smile.Daniel affectionately pinched her nose. "Someone once said I should learn to grow up, right?"Daniel smiled without saying a word."So why did you follow me again?" Maisie's eyes twinkled."Well..." Daniel said honestly, "I can't rest assured letting you meet an older man alone."Maisie playfully hit him, but the second time, Daniel held her fist. "Of course, I feel like contract details should be my responsibility, too, right?""Then how should I thank you?""You know

Daniel squinted, maintaining a contemplative silence for a moment.Chris furrowed his brow. "Uncle Daniel, Lena and I are puzzled. What should our next move be?""Yeah." Lena nodded. "Or perhaps we should consider a different approach. Maybe Maisie isn't connected to the Newhouses?""She definitely is," Daniel asserted firmly, locking eyes with them. "No need to change our approach, but this test result did catch my attention. Maisie isn't Delilah's daughter, but she might be Wilfred's."Chris and Lena were visibly surprised."Uncle Daniel, have you uncovered something?""Not precisely," Daniel replied in a subdued tone. "I recently met Wilfred along with Maisie. It was the second time Wilfred encountered Maisie after the banquet. I just sensed that his gaze toward Maisie was noticeably different."Chris bit his lip. "Um... Was it the gaze of an older man with inappropriate intentions toward a young—?"Before he could finish his sentence, Lena jabbed him hard!Daniel didn't mi

In the future, he would go to any lengths to reunite her with Wilfred, restoring the father-daughter bond and ensuring she experienced the protective embrace of a father."There will be these kinds of activities in the future." He chuckled. "I'm talking about our kids. They'll be very happy. I won't miss any school events of theirs."Maisie was taken aback. "They?""Yeah." Daniel's hand circled her waist. "Let's have a few."Maisie blushed and pushed him lightly, gesturing toward the driver upfront.Daniel didn't mind. He coughed softly, and the driver immediately raised the partition."You...""Whatever we do now won't be affected, right?"Daniel's finger threaded through Maisie's long hair. He cupped her face, planting a gentle kiss on her lips."Don't..." Maisie halted his further advances. "Not here."Daniel's breath was slightly unsteady. "Not here? So, shall we find another place?"Maisie kept her eyes down, feeling her heart racing.Daniel focused on her with a smile

Maisie paused, momentarily uncertain. She wasn't always quick to react to these situations, not quite understanding why."Lily, I'm not well-versed in this stuff, but why not talk to Rachael? She knows a lot; maybe you both can come up with something?""Ugh, forget it!" Lily sighed. "Rachael hasn't been focused on work lately. She's been taking frequent leaves! But... she's been dedicated to me for so many years, working tirelessly before with no complaints. Let her rest for a while!""Rachael doesn't usually take time off, right?" Maisie was puzzled. "Is there something bothering her lately?""What could it be? It's just because..." Lily's words trailed off.It was because she favored Maisie so much that all the good resources flowed toward her. It wasn't a problem for the established authors under the company. However, Rachael had a few small authors under her, and they couldn't match these resources in terms of experience and capability. Yet, Rachael still wanted to try her bes

Daniel also wanted to preserve the most beautiful moment for their actual wedding night."Oh, about Rachael that Lily mentioned earlier..." Daniel paused. "Is she the one who's always trailing behind her?""Yeah, that's her." Maisie nodded. "She's also a veteran in the company. She and Lily basically founded SL Publishing. When Lily isn't around, she's in charge of everything in the company.""Has she ever caused trouble for you?""How could she?" Maisie chuckled. "She's been really nice to me and helped me a lot.""Then... between you and her, who does Lily treat better?"The question momentarily stumped Maisie as she hadn't thought about it before.Daniel's eyes narrowed slightly, and he chuckled. He had seen plenty of interpersonal relationship issues. Many partners could endure hardship together but couldn't share success.Sometimes, the involvement of others led to a rift between two people who once trusted each other, ultimately leading to a collapse in cooperation.It w

Maisie took a deep breath and said coldly, "I don't need it.""Maisie—""I've got work to do. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up," she said before Cindy could respond, then disconnected the call.However, in the quietness of the late hours that night, Maisie tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She recalled how, from childhood to now, Cindy's warmth toward her felt like an act of charity, sparing only a tiny bit of warmth for her when neither Owen nor Nicole needed it.She remembered being bullied at school, with no one at home standing up for her. Her classmates mocked her for being a child who was not cared for. She was met with a torrent of scolding when she went home and told Cindy about it. Cindy only ever blamed her for being troublesome.She also recalled the first time she got her period. She was frightened and ran to Cindy in tears. Instead of comfort, Cindy's immediate reaction was, "Disgusting! Wash your stained clothes yourself!"Since then, she hadn't confided in C

"Are you going on a long trip?" Maisie glanced at the suitcase."Yeah!" The woman smiled embarrassedly and handed her a note with a series of numbers. "My daughter just had a baby! She lives far away from Cumulus City, so I have to go take care of her... So, here's an awkward request. Can you watch over my house for me?"This is my home password. If you need anything, just go straight to my place!""I can watch over your house, no problem, but you don't have to share your password!" Maisie chuckled. "Congratulations on becoming a grandmother!"Maisie's neighbor beamed. "I'm certainly happy about becoming a grandmother... But by leaving, I can't look after you anymore! I feel terrible...""Oh, come on." Maisie's heart warmed. "You've always taken care of me, and I'm grateful. No need for these formalities, really. You're making me feel awkward."The neighbor squeezed Maisie's hand affectionately, her gaze full of maternal love."Oh, by the way…" She suddenly remembered. "I saw yo

After a while, Maisie heard the footsteps gradually fading away from the door. She regained her composure, opened the door, and found the two big bags and a food container left on the floor."What's going on?" Daniel's voice suddenly sounded.Maisie looked up with a somewhat lost expression on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to take the items inside."Recently, I always thought it was you sending me food." She opened the fridge that was packed full of stuff. "But today, I found out that those items left at my door were actually from my mom."Daniel looked at her profile, which was tinged with a hint of sadness, feeling a pang in his heart. He hugged her, letting her lean against his chest.He understood how much she yearned for her mother's love, but when that love arrived, she couldn't accept it.Well, was belated maternal love still as precious?Whether it were family, love, or friendship, if it didn't show up when needed the most, it was like a parachute

"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
