Soon, Cordelia came back from buying the supplies and smiled when she saw Linda taking good care of Nicholas. She talked to the girl for a bit and left with Zephyr.On the way home, she chit-chatted nonstop like a little pigeon, feeling a weight was lifted off her shoulders. Although Linda did not end up together with Seth as she had expected, she would support her as long as she made her choice!Cordelia said with a sweet smile, “Darling, I think you and Nicholas will keep meeting in the future. You both should let bygones be bygones and try getting along!”“Mm.” There were no bygones in truth.Zephyr looked at her with a complicated gaze and suddenly stopped walking. She looked like she was in a great mood now, so she would most probably be able to accept it if he broke the news… Where should he start, though?Zephyr took a deep breath and met Cordelia’s clear eyes.“Darling, what’s wrong?”Zephyr hesitated and slowly said, “I have something to tell you.”Cordelia was beaming

Cordelia was worried about Linda staying in the hospital alone. When she visited, she saw the latter feeding Nicholas.The girl who had always been carefree and casual about people and things blew on each spoonful of soup carefully, afraid that it would burn Nicholas. As for the man on the bed who looked like he could not take care of himself, who would have thought that he was up and active in physiotherapy just two days ago?Cordelia chuckled and suddenly thought of her husband.The man was unfriendly to outsiders, only steps away from writing “Approach with caution” on his face. However, he was glued to her once he saw her and could not be driven away. He would go darling this and honey that, that the birds on the trees were less noisy than him.“You’re here.” A familiar voice came from behind her.Cordelia turned back to see Seth walking over. He glanced at the hospital ward, and his expression dimmed for a moment. It was only briefly before a warm smile was back on his face

Cordelia was even more surprised. “Why are you taking our marriage certificates!?”Zephyr felt his throat tighten, and his lips grew dry. He did not know how to explain it.While Cordelia had been away, he had found the marriage certificates, and as expected, it was Marcus Grist’s name on them. Back when Cordelia got married on behalf of Yelena, the Jenners had pulled some strings and registered the marriage with Marcus’ ID directly.If he had known that he would fall so deep for Cordelia now, he would have gone to the registration personally, no matter what.Frederic had told him that it was not too late to change the name now. It was just a little more troublesome.In spite of it, Cordelia caught him when he had just wanted to take the certificates with him.“Darling, what’s the matter?” Cordelia was vaguely disconcerted seeing the man in a daze.“You… made a mess of our home just to find the marriage certificates? Why do you need them?”Zephyr forced a smile and uttered some

“Just in case!”Cordelia stroked her belly and smiled at him, gentle and determined.“If we do have a child, we have to plan for them. But I want to buy this insurance for you…”Her heart and eyes were filled with him as she held his hand.“Honey… this is the first time I got pregnant. I’m honestly quite nervous. I went through a lot of information these two days, and I’m afraid if something happens like what the forums say—”“Nonsense!” Zephyr glowered and glared at her sternly. “Stop imagining things. Nothing will happen to you!”“Calm down!” Cordelia snuggled against him. “I’m just saying in case something happens. Remember to claim the insurance.”“Nothing will happen! No in case!” Zephyr could not help growling. His dark glower scared even Cordelia.She stared at him in a trance, her heart thumping.Zephyr moved swiftly, tearing both insurance forms into shreds right away.The world quieted down instantly as if they had gone into a vacuum.The fierce sense of aggression

“Cordelia, you’re weaker in health. What’s happening this time is actually a relatively rare pseudo-pregnancy. It’s not a big issue. Get lots of rest and recuperation, and you can still get pregnant.“Another thing is…”Seth pulled out a body check report with the name William Jenner on it.“I first have to apologize to you. Mr. Jenner’s done a body check here before, and a few medical students under me have taken a portion of the blood samples to conduct tests as an experiment in their internship on their own accord. Yours and Mr. Jenner’s blood samples are included.“This has severely gone against the hospital rules, and the students have been punished.“But I took a look at their test results, and it shows that… you and William Jenner are not related by blood!”Cordelia felt buzzing in her ears as her mind went blank.…Zephyr ran up the stairs and searched urgently for the delicate figure among the crowd—only to look up and see Seth exit his office.“Where’s Cordelia?”“I

Did William really not know about this, though? Then why did Joanne occasionally blurt insults like “b*stard” when she scolded her in the past? Come to think of it, Joanne might have used that insult in the heat of the moment, but because it was something based on the truth…Were she and Carter really kids with an unknown father?Cordelia’s thoughts were scattered. It felt like there were straws in her throat, making it hard to breathe.Zephyr crouched down in front of her and softly combed his hand through her hair with a tender gaze.He said with a soft voice, “Darling, let’s go home.”“I—”“Shh, I understand. I know that you’re not in a good mood now, and we can’t get to the bottom of some things right off the bat.“We take things slow, honey. I’ll always be by your side, no matter what happens. Don’t worry, okay?”Cordelia met his eyes and felt like crying.Zephyr kept a tight hold on her hand as they went home, giving her a sufficient sense of security.When they got hom

Zennie gave Cordelia a big hug while she was stunned.“It’s been a while, sis! Didn’t you miss me?”Cordelia smiled and pinched her nose.“Of course I did! Life is less fun without you making so much noise around me!”Zennie laughed wholeheartedly. She was overjoyed.Cordelia could not help but have her interest piqued by the middle-aged lady behind Zennie.Although she was well-maintained, she had a perm on her short hair and wore a bright suit with the brand logo all over it, carrying a limited edition Acmes bag. She looked ridiculous in her get-up.“Ahem!” The lady coughed.Zennie pulled her over immediately and introduced her to Cordelia. “Sis, this is my mom. She came all the way here to visit me!”Cordelia was stunned. ‘So, it is Mrs. Hamerton.’However, weren't the Hamertons a prestigious family? They did not look like people who would dress in brand logos.She did not want to seem rude, so she could only hold back her laughter.Zennie made a face. “Madam Kate Miller

“Hmm, okay.” Zephyr agreed flatly and turned around to leave.Zennie and Kate looked at each other. The former said to Cordelia, “I’m going to the bathroom, sis!”Cordelia was stunned. Meanwhile, Kate started chatting with her.She could not even make coffee now.She smiled and thought she would just chat with Kate in the courtyard.After entering the shop, Zennie saw the man’s wide shoulder behind the counter. She walked over quietly, but he snapped his head back. His piercing eyes were so cold that they could cut her face.The girl shivered, then she said with a plastic smile, “Brother—”“Why did you get Aunt Cloud here?” The man’s face was darker than ink.Zennie was panting from the panic.“I’m not trying to do anything! You should thank my mom, brother. If she didn’t come, it would be Nelly who came today!”“What?”Zephyr raised his sharp eyebrows. His eyes were even fiercer now.“She knows?”“I don’t think she knows that you’re here. But I’ve been in Jangasas, so she

"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
