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.

    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

    “Oh.” Cordelia nodded.Zephyr looked at her, warmth leaking from his deep eyes as he held her hand in his palm.“He’ll take you inside later. The interview outline you stayed up to draft won’t go to waste.”“What?” Cordelia widened her eyes.The middle-aged man in front of her looked kind and honest, not one bit like someone involved in the entertainment industry.“Don’t worry.” Zephyr chuckled. “Mr. Smith is experienced.”After finishing the drinks, Cordelia was again back at Neil’s studio. She took a deep breath and walked in confidently, meeting the assistant’s rolled eyes as usual.“Goodness!” The assistant snickered as she munched on some nuts. “Why are some people like flies? Can’t even chase them away!“I told you Neil’s schedule is full. He’s busy. Why are you still here!?”“But I saw a reporter entering just now.” Cordelia remained composed. “And I just want to make an appointment. I hope that Mr. Harris can give me a chance to interview him…”“How could you compare

    Shane’s expression changed, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.The assistant was shaking from the scare. She heard the former roar, “Get over here!”Her knees went weak. She could not even stand straight while holding onto the table, let alone walk to them.“M-Mr. Campbell…” The assistant’s face turned pale. She looked at Cordelia blankly.She could not believe that the person she mocked came from such a powerful background.Even Mr. Smith was respectful to her!“What the hell did you say?” Shane scolded fiercely.“I-I didn’t—”“How dare you talk back!?” Shane glared fiercely at her. “What did Neil do right to be starting from nothing to who he is now? He has never put on airs, even though he’s the best actor! He’d never look down on anyone!“I can’t believe he hired such a person like you! This is just scary…”“That’s right.” Mr. Smith chuckled. “We’re lucky that it’s Ms. Jenner that’s here. If it were some other reporter, we’d be in trouble!” Shane was drenched

    However, she did not get to indulge in her excitement for long before a familiar hug came.Cordelia snapped back to her senses and saw Zephyr’s deep eyes. She could not help but chuckle. She was just thinking about how great the interview had gone. The article might become a hot topic as soon as the interview was published. She might have the opportunity to be promoted.Meanwhile, Mr. Z was the person who had helped her to achieve that!She looked with her big, bright eyes, smiling happily. She stood on tiptoe and grabbed his neck to kiss him on the cheek!Zephyr initially came to “question” her.He never thought he would be confused by this passion that came out of nowhere. He looked at her blankly.“W-What’s wrong?”“What do you mean?” Cordelia widened her eyes. “Can’t I kiss you?”He was rendered speechless.“Why are you so serious?” She squeezed his cheeks and looked at his face. She smiled playfully. “Did you come here to wait for me? Hehe… But I’ll have to drop by the of

    ‘Ugh, why is he so fierce again?’Cordelia looked at his terribly grim face and secretly teased.Was he not usually well-mannered before? He had been moody lately and would glare at her and complain out of nowhere.She pursed her lips and leaned on him as if she did not have a spine.Zephyr smelled her faint fragrance and slowly lost his rage. He was no longer mad now.Cordelia said softly. “Indeed, Neil asked about us. It was Mr. Smith who brought me in, after all. He’s your subordinate, so we talked about the Hamterton Group investing in movies.”Zephyr merely gave a short response.He had gotten Mr. Smith to say that.Firstly, it was to raise her status so that the people at the studio would not dare to look down on her.Secondly, it would hint at their relationship.Neil was experienced. Naturally, he understood the hidden meaning. Therefore, he had asked her that during the interview.And what did this lady say?“I said nothing when he asked me that…” Cordelia smiled s

    “T-The audacity!”Cordelia bit her lip. Oh well, she had to stick to her promise.However, could this man really see through her? How could he tell that she got her salary every time?She took out her bank card with a plastic smile. The money was just in, and now…“Hmm, that’s more like it.” Zephyr stretched his arm to take it.Cordelia suddenly squeezed hard with her fingers. She held onto the thin card and could not bear to let it go.Zephyr could no longer hold it back. He snatched her card over before he laughed out loud!“Give it!” He looked at her proudly with a naughty smirk. “You said you’d take care of me!”“Zen, can you be rational!?” It was Cordelia’s turn to feel wronged now. “You’re so rich, yet you want me to take care of you!”“Ouch…” He suddenly held his tummy and bent. He looked like he was in pain.Cordelia was shocked. She quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”“Didn’t I tell you that I have an ulcer?”“No…”“I’m in a little pain right now.”She was in pain as

    After Zephyr returned to his senses, he got Robert to send Cordelia back to her office.He called the number to Chaiseland after returning to the Zen Residence.It was morning over there and quite noisy on the other side of the phone. Janine must have started her busy day.Zephyr greeted respectfully. “Mom, were you looking for me?”“Yes, I’m at the airport,” Janine said calmly. “I’ll be in Centrolis in 10 hours. Get someone to pick me up.”“What?” He was shocked.“What? Am I not welcome?”“Of course, that’s not the case.” He soon calmed down.Ever since his parents got divorced, his mother hardly visited Centrolis. It was not where she grew up. Given the terrible memories from her ex-husband’s family and judging by her character, although her child was there, she would definitely not compromise.Therefore, Zephyr visited Chaiseland more often since he was young.Perhaps there was only one reason why Janine suddenly came to Centrolis.Zephyr squinted. He took a deep breath a

    Linda blushed and smiled softly.“Why so sudden?” Zephyr looked at them. “Nicholas, you just got stable in Centrolis, and there are many connections to build. You’ll definitely be busy. Isn’t it too much of a rush to host a wedding now?”“No, we can’t wait!” Nicholas was grinning wide. “If we wait any longer, we’ll have to host a baby shower as well!”“What?” Cordelia and Zephyr were surprised.Linda confirmed it. “I’m pregnant. Two months.”Cordelia was thrilled and emotional, going around Linda again and again. The latter’s figure had not changed. She was still tall and slim. Who could have known that there was already a baby in her womb!?“Linda, why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”“They say it’s riskier the first three months, so it’s better not to announce it.” Linda beamed. “But it’s not too late that you know now. You’re the kid’s godmother, and you’re not running away!”“Who’s running away? I’m going to prepare a huge gift for my godson!”“How do you know it’s a son? I w

    "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
