Zephyr’s eyes were dark, and his broad back stiffened slightly. He remained quiet.The air felt like it was frozen as Liam trained his eyes on him. His tone hardened as he asked again, “Who is Cordelia Jenner?”“My wife.”Liam abruptly raised his hand—the table's tea set shattered with a clang on the floor!Zephyr tightened his fists, veins popping on the back of his hands.Liam asked sternly, “When did you get married? When did this woman come about?“If I didn’t stop this statement, were you planning to give half of the Hamertons’ assets away?!”The butler and servants dared not even breathe any louder when they heard the noise inside. Even Robert was stunned.Liam had always been calm and composed. There were rarely times that he was so worked up. Today, however, the grandfather and grandson were like two lions confronting each other. Forget going closer. Just hearing their voices was unnerving.“Are you giving half of your assets, shares, funds, including your overseas pro

“Centrolis is a big place. There’ll be somewhere for her.” Liam held his dragon-headed cane. “Find her somewhere and settle her down. After you get married, you can still visit her a few times a month.“As long as she stays in her own lane and doesn’t cause problems, keep her around!”Zephyr was stunned before he snickered. “You want to make her my lover?”“A woman like her should be grateful that she’s even a lover!”Zephyr jolted.“Impossible!” His voice was sharp. “I’ll never let her suffer such grievances!”“Then what do you want to do? Marry her?” Liam asked harshly, “I think you’ve lost your mind!”He panted and turned to look out the window with a hand over her heart.“Zephyr, break up with her! Even if you don’t want to marry Nelly, you can pick one from the other three major families!”“I said I don’t want anyone else in this lifetime other than Cordelia!”“You don’t want anyone else aside from her?” Liam raised his voice and turned back to glare at him. “And if she

Zephyr stopped walking, his back tall and aloof. He snapped his head around to stare at Nelly with a smirk. His icy gaze was mocking.“Marriage?“Ms. Tanner, when did we have a marriage agreement?”Nelly’s heart thumped as she widened her eyes.“From my understanding, a marriage agreement exists on the basis of mutual willingness. It’s a pity. I don’t think we’re equipped with that condition!”“Zephyr, you—”“I think it’s better that you address me as Mr. Hamerton.” Zephyr sneered. “Ms. Tanner, we aren’t so familiar with each other that we can call each other by names!”He swiveled directly after speaking and left Nelly alone, stunned. His back eventually vanished from her sight. Nelly gnashed her teeth and calmed herself down before she entered the study.Liam did not look good either.Nelly saw the shattered tea set on the floor and the dragon-headed cane that lay on the side. Just looking at these was enough for her to know how heated the argument was between the grandfat

The other end of the line went silent for a bit before the girl’s soft voice was heard.“I love you too.”Cordelia’s heart thumped. Her cheeks felt like they were burning. She quickly hung up after what she said. Holding her phone in a daze, she giggled after a while.Both of them had never officially said things like “I love you” despite being married for so long.Cordelia stretched. She felt like she was on cloud nine. That man was definitely going to be in her dream again tonight.Zephyr was going to ask Robert to pick him up after he ended the call, but he heard someone behind him.“Is that Ms. Jenner?”Alarmed, he turned around abruptly with an icy gaze.“Why are you still here!?”“Zephyr…” Nelly paused and backtracked. “Mr. Hamerton, you and Ms. Jenner aren’t going to work out in the long term…”Zephyr snarled, “What’s between her and I have nothing to do with you!”“But it does with the Hamertons.”“You aren’t a Hamerton. Why worry so much?”Nelly trembled. Jealousy

“Miss, what’s the matter?” Her servant from the Tanners rushed over.Upon seeing how awful Nelly’s expression was, the servant could guess it and draped the coat over her, consoling her softly, “Miss, don’t worry. As long as Elder Mr. Hamerton doesn’t allow it, Mr. Zephyr won’t dare bring that woman back…”“And what am I?!”“Miss, that woman doesn’t seem to have any background. Why don’t we get someone to investigate her?”Nelly recalled Zephyr’s aggressive look just now and hesitated.“Miss, Mr. Zephyr just said that you aren’t allowed to approach that woman. He didn’t say that you aren’t allowed to investigate her!”Nelly squinted. That was right. She could only find out Cordelia’s weakness when she knew her enemy. Only then would she know what to do!Back in Jangasas…Cordelia was busy in the kitchen after bringing her mother home.Carter had cleaning and unpacking duty, and he swiftly got the bedroom ready. It was just that when he saw the box sitting in the corner, his cu

Cordelia looked at her in confusion but closed the door as instructed.As Xyla sat on the chair, her gaze was fixed somewhere outside the window without any focus. Her expression was heavy and sorrowful.“Mom…” Cordelia crouched down in front of her.“Cordelia.” Xyla snapped out of her trance after some time and slowly turned to the box in the corner. “Bring that over.”Cordelia was stunned, and her heart drummed anxiously.She did what she was told. The wooden box was not heavy, and she could lift it with a hand. The carving on it was intricate and discreet, looking unique.When Cordelia was young, she was curious about the box too, but Xyla had forbidden her from touching it, so she suppressed that curiosity.This was actually her first time being this close to the box.There was a vintage copper lock on the box that could barely be seen nowadays.Xyla sounded a little aggrieved. “Cordelia, I’m not a good mother. I’ve been a burden to you. I wasn’t even able to witness you g

This meant that there would be one more person in the bedroom.Zephyr walked over quietly and opened the bedroom door. As expected, Linda and Cordelia were sleeping inside.He chuckled soundlessly. It seemed that his little girl was afraid to be alone and asked her best friend to keep her company, while Nicholas followed shamelessly since he was worried about Linda.Zephyr put down his luggage softly and carefully padded to Cordelia.Their bed was spacious. Cordelia slept with her back against Linda, and there was still some space between them. Cordelia hugged a pillow—the one that Zephyr usually used.Zephyr raised his brows and tucked the girl in gently with a smile.It was then Linda turned around and rubbed her eyes, astonished to see someone standing beside Cordelia through the dim lighting.“Ah!” Linda screamed with her hair standing on end.She patted Cordelia awake quickly before she darted toward Zephyr.“Thief! Robber!“Nicholas! Come in!”Before Zephyr could rea

Cordelia’s face paled. She lifted his T-shirt immediately to check the wound.As expected, there was an obvious mark on his back.“It’s red!” She rubbed it, feeling heartbroken. She then turned around to look at Linda.“Look, Linda! Nicholas kicked him!”Never had Nicholas thought his darling, who had been showing off their love with him earlier, was glaring at him like she was a different person now.“Hey, why did you do that!?”Nicholas looked innocent, “Linda, aren’t you going to side with me?”“Side with you?” She grabbed Cordelia’s shoulder. “My Cordelia is upset now! Go, go buy ointment for Marcus!”Nicholas widened his eyes.‘My Cordelia?‘She was calling me baby just now!‘Is she saying that her friend is more important than her man!?‘So love fades, is it…’Nicholas stood where he was. He snapped his eyes up, locking eyes with Zephyr, who looked proud.“Can I trouble Mr. Thompson to buy ointment for me?”…At 6:00 a.m., Nicholas bought ointment and even breakfa

"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
