The atmosphere turned awkward.Everyone stared at the dish in front of them, but no one moved. They all had ulterior motives and were waiting for the show.As expected, Liam scowled and looked at Matthew sharply.Zephyr snickered.When it came to understanding his grandfather, no one in the Hamertons would dare call themselves the first if he claimed the second spot.Liam hated his own family getting too close to outsiders the most. Matthew had once used the same point to attack Zephyr, claiming that he was closer to his maternal grandfather’s family and stirring Liam’s dissatisfaction.Zephyr looked at him leisurely with a cryptic smile.What he did today was just doing unto Matthew what the latter had done to him.“Z-Zephyr Hamerton!” Matthew stuttered, “W-What n-nonsense are you spewing in front of so many people!?“Dad, don’t believe him. This kid… Hah, he’s most probably upset and using me to vent!”“You’d be accusing me now, Uncle Matthew,” Zephyr said unhurriedly. “Gra

Nelly could not help but shudder upon meeting his deep, sharp eyes.“Z-Zephyr…” Nelly chuckled dryly. “I’m just concerned. You look like you’re in a hurry…”“Just something small,” Zephyr replied coldly. “Nothing of your concern.”“Do I annoy you that much?” Nelly bit her lips. “The Tanner Group and the Hamerton Group will have plenty of business dealings. We—”“You don’t have to worry about this. I make a clear distinction between work and private life.” His tone was indifferent. “Meet me in my office if you have anything related to work.”Nelly thought that he had softened toward her and agreed happily, “Mm!”Robert drove the car over.Zephyr was going to get in when he realized that Nelly was following him. He frowned and looked at her with a blank face. “Ms. Tanner, I told you that I separate work and private affairs clearly.”Nelly froze.“I’m going to take care of some private affair right now!” He emphasized. “There’s no need for you to come along!”Zephyr got into the

Zephyr looked at the string of digits. It was from the University of Centrolis, but it started with 02. If he remembered correctly, it was the hotline of the university’s board of trustees.1/3 of the university board consisted of people related to the Tanners.The corner of Zephyr’s lips quivered as realization dawned on him shortly.“What’s the matter?” Cordelia looked at him in worry. “Is there something wrong with the number?”“It’s fine. Hold on.”Zephyr went to the balcony.Cordelia looked at his back from the living room in a daze. The man made several calls and lowered his voice. He spoke unhurriedly in a composed manner.‘This is what it is like to be a king…’Cordelia jolted and looked down, feeling her cheeks heat up.“Carter asked softly, “Sis, do you think Zephyr really has a way?”“Mm, I think so.” Her voice was so low it was barely audible.“Oh…” Carter nodded and suddenly sighed. “Cordelia, I’m lucky my brother-in-law’s Zephyr Hamerton and not Marcus Grist.

Zephyr held onto Cordelia’s hand. Despite how tall he was, he lowered his head and grinned, staring at her. “Cordelia, see, it’s so late now…”“Uh huh, so?”“So, can I not leave?” He negotiated. “It’s so dark, and it’s dangerous on the road. Are you not worried that I’m going back alone?”A giggle escaped Cordelia, and she laughed heartily.She pushed him toward the exit, but the man was tall and well-built. She used up all her strength and still could not move him. Because she had exerted so much force, she lost her balance and actually fell right into his arms.Zephyr tightened his arms around her waist, seizing the opportunity. His other hand went from her back to her neck and gently pinned the back of her head.Cordelia could not help but meet his eyes, taking in their burning desire. Her heart skipped a beat, and she blushed. She averted her gaze elsewhere.“D-Don’t be like this.” She gave his chest a nudge and felt warm.They were outside, after all, so Zephyr did his bes

Nelly’s gaze flickered with viciousness when she saw Cordelia. She looked natural again swiftly and approached them with a smile, greeting openly, “Mr. Z!”Cordelia’s heart squeezed, and she looked at Zephyr instinctively. A woman’s sixth sense was always sharp.“Heh, Mr. Z!” Nelly stood before them and scanned Cordelia. “This is Ms. Jenner?”Cordelia nodded politely as a greeting.Zephyr did not look great. His brows were scrunched as he asked icily, “What are you doing here?”“Grandpa’s asking for you!” Nelly emphasized on purpose, “He knew that Robert wouldn’t be able to persuade you, so he could only send me!”Cordelia’s gaze dimmed.Robert was Zephyr’s subordinate and the most reliable person around the latter. He could not do it, but this woman could? Why must the Hamerton patriarch send her specifically?What she implied was simply that her status in the Hamertons and even Zephyr’s heart was extraordinary.Cordelia chuckled. She could feel that the woman had not come wi

Murphy had been prepared and dished out the explanation he had already come up with.“You have no idea, Mr. Zephyr. That kid doesn’t just not match the age, but his results are forged as well. Hah, it’s with consideration of his pride that his admission is canceled with the reason of age. After all, it’d sound worse saying that his results are forged!”“Weren’t there supervising teachers when he took the tests?”“There were, but—”“But you insist on imposing the blame on him,” said Zephyr with emphasis. “So whatever he does is wrong!”The reaction was exactly what Murphy was expecting. He smiled lightly, hoping that Zephyr’s reaction could be bigger. This way, he could take the chance of recovering Carter’s admission to bring up the marriage between the Tanners and the Hamertons.Although he did not know what Carter’s relationship was with Zephyr, he must be someone important to the latter since he came to him.Murphy straightened up and looked triumphant.Zephyr spoke clearly

Murphy took a deep breath and nodded. “Don’t worry, Mr. Zephyr. I’ll get this done properly!”“Mm, I believe that you’re a wise man, Mr. Tanner. Then…” Zephyr sat back down with a sharp gaze. “Do it now!”“What? Now!?”“Yes.” Zephyr smirked. “Make the call before me and get your subordinates to do the job. If it’s not done today, I’ll have to ask you to stay the night in this club!”…Carter went back to studying at the University of Centrolis.Cordelia appeared before Zephyr gloomily after she had tried every way she could and failed to secure an appointment to interview Neil.Zephyr took her to the theme park.The big place was cleared in advance, so the couple were the only ones there. All the rides were open only for her.Zephyr held Cordelia’s hand to the merry-go-round. As she rose up and down on the back of the horse, accompanied by the dreamy music, she cheered up significantly.The man hugged her from the back, and warm breaths puffed against her ear.“Hard time at

Cordelia frowned. Before she could say anything, she saw the assistant putting on another face.“Hello, Mr. Findlay!” The assistant hurried out from the reception to welcome the man with all smiles. “What got you here today? Hahaha!”The shrill laugh did not sit well with Cordelia.The assistant had basically jogged over to welcome that reporter, and Cordelia took a glance. The guy was a famous senior in the industry who was well-connected with plenty of celebrities and big names.“Come, welcome!” the assistant said with a chuckle. It was worth wondering whether she did it on purpose—when she went past Cordelia, she knocked her with her shoulder harshly.“You’re finally here, Mr. Findlay. You have no idea. Some small reporters always overestimate themselves, coming here and causing problems! Hah, thank goodness Neil is free today. He’s all ready for your exclusive interview!“You write so incredibly. Which of your pieces doesn’t go viral each time? Haha!”Both of them went in, l

"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
