Cordelia paused and said flatly, “Nothing.”

Rowan thought it was strange. He wanted to ask more but dared not. He could only secretly look at his daughter.

However, she seemed like she was really okay.

He pursed his lips and chuckled. “Oh, that’s great… It’s noon, so why don’t I take you guys to lunch? Then I can talk more with Carter. Hehe…

“What would you guys like to eat?” He looked at Cordelia in a fawning manner. “You’ll pick, Cordelia!”

“No.” Cordelia paused and lifted her eyes to look at him. “I’m going to look for Zephyr. He left home early in the morning. I haven’t seen him today.”

“What?” Rowan’s expression changed. “Did he not return home?”

“No,” Cordelia said softly. “He just left early.”

“Ah, I’m sure he wouldn’t dare not to come home!” Rowan was confident. “Cordelia, tell me if he doesn’t come home. I’ll…”

Cordelia stared into his eyes, and her voice was soft as each word struck his heart like a stone. “Mr. Irwin, aren’t you being a little too nosy?”

    Liam was the one who had personally trained Zephyr. Naturally, he exuded the same majesty as Liam.The few sly foxes could foresee what would happen to them. They thought they would show their loyalty, give out their remaining power, and retire. At that moment, Robert walked to Zephyr with his phone in a panic.Zephyr’s face suddenly changed. He rushed out of the meeting room without even looking back.…Robert drove fast. He would check on Zephyr’s face from the rearview mirror carefully every now and then.He was expressionless. A grim glint flashed through his deep eyes as he clenched his fists.It was Xyla who had called.…“Cordelia… She just came to me to ask about Rowan.”“Did she find out?”Xyla said nothing.Zephyr frowned. His breathing instinctively became heavy.“Zephyr, I told her everything that happened in the past… Actually, even if I didn’t, she could guess it. She opened the box and saw the things in there… I couldn’t hide it from her!“She ran out afte

    Zephyr lowered his head in silence.“So, all of you knew.” Cordelia’s eyes were red. “And all of you hid the truth from me, is that right?”“Wifey…”Zephyr was nervous.They had made a pact that they would not hide anything from each other. No matter what happened, they would face it together.However, he had made the same mistake twice!Zephyr said softly, “Cordelia, I found out about this recently… It’s complicated, but please believe me that I didn’t hide it from you on purpose.“I couldn’t be the one that told you that. It had to come from your parents… Can you understand my situation?”She took a few deep breaths.That was right. How could she blame him? He was troubled too.Perhaps she would do the same, too, if it were her. She did not receive love from her father for over 20 years, and she had a father coming out of nowhere. Naturally, the people around her would keep it a secret before the truth came out.It was a big deal. Unless the person told her himself, would

    “Go to bed after this. Don't think about anything.” Zephyr played with her hair and said in a deep voice, “Let your hubby take care of the rest.”Cordelia was stunned. “What are you going to do?”He said intentionally. “Mr. Irwin is too much. He upset my wife, so I’ll chase him back to Southeast Aciatic!”“Don’t…”She suddenly stopped after saying that.Zephyr looked at her and chucked.Since she was young, William was nothing to her. She craved fatherly love very much.Because Cordelia craved it, she felt resistant and terrified when she got it out of nowhere. That was why she was bringing up all of the sufferings that she had gone through over the past 20 years.That was why she felt strange. That was why she thought she was nothing to Rowan. Otherwise, why would a father give up on his children?She felt her tears coming. She took a deep breath and sucked it in with all of her might.“It’s okay, wifey.” Zephyr patted her back. “I know you’ll get it one day. Take your time

    Fredric lifted his eyes and looked at Michelle quietly.He was still smiling, but Michelle subconsciously felt something had changed.It must be an illusion… That was right! Fredric would always love her!She revealed a flirtatious smile and leaned on him softly. Suddenly, a force held onto her shoulder. She looked and saw his hand grabbing her shoulder. He pushed her away quietly.“Fredric…”“We should do something about us.” He paused and smiled. “Michelle, I’m happy to see you famous today.”“You’re the one who gave me all this!”“It was Yale who gave you this,” Fredric said flatly. “You should stay with Yale. He’ll give you more.”“Fredric!?” Michelle felt a squeeze in her heart.What did he mean?She forced a smile. “Fredric, if you don’t work for Mr. Hamerton, he won’t give me so many things!”“Hmm, don’t worry. I’ll keep working for him.” He smiled. There was a confusing coldness on his face. “About us, I haven’t thought it through. We’ll talk about it after my task w

    “Haha! Great!” Yale was in glee and clapped Fredric’s shoulder.“As expected of a lawyer, so efficient!”Fredric suppressed his disgust and bowed politely. “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Yale.”“Hah, I know that your only concern’s Michelle!” Yale smiled.Michelle’s intelligence was lacking, but she was lucky to have someone like Fredric sacrifice everything for her. As long as he kept a good grip on the woman, he would not have to worry about Fredric not working for him!“Don’t worry,” Yale said in a lowered voice. “I’ll keep paying for her internet presence and get her trending. She’ll be popular for sure!”“I feel bad that you have to spend.”“No need for that!” Yale was gleeful. “The set of medicinal formulas is very valuable. As long as it can be developed, no one in the Hamertons will dare look down on me!”…Rowan had been really good these days and loitered around Imperial Media whenever he could. He was not just doing that—each time he went, he would bring tea and

    Rowan froze on the spot, not knowing which leg to move first.“Mr. Harris, your manager’s waiting for you at the door,” Mr. Smith said with a smile. “There are a few shots to add to Ms. Lulham’s film!”“Mm, got it.” Neil patted his clothes and put on his sunglasses before walking out. Before he left, he mouthed a “You got this” to Rowan.Rowan looked at the elevator and then at Mr. Smith with a troubled expression.Mr. Smith chuckled. “Mr. Irwin, Madam Baker said that you’ve been monkeying here these two days to meet Mrs. Hamerton!”“Well…” How could Janine describe him to be monkeying around!?“Don’t worry.” Mr. Smith saw through him. “Madam Baker returned to Chaiseland on an early flight today. She’s not around.”It was only then Rowan looked better, but he could not let others notice that he was wary of Janine. Hence, he coughed and straightened up his back, huffing audibly. “It doesn’t matter if she’s around or not! I’m not scared!”Mr. Smith watched Rowan’s back with a sha

    The moment Zephyr entered, he saw Rowan leaving. He froze.Zephyr had always mocked the old geezer and thought him to be annoying, but now that he saw his dejected expression and reddened eyes, he could not even force a smile… he felt like he was suddenly fed a pill—his throat felt dry and bitter.“You’re here…” Rowan’s voice was hoarse.“Mm.”That was all Rowan said. He gave Zephyr another glance and went off with a stagger.Zephyr walked in and saw Cordelia on the couch in a trance. It was like life had been sucked out of her, and she was in a bad mood too.She could no longer hold back her tears when she saw him. Zephyr hugged her, his heart aching as she cried.“Darling, let’s finish work early today, okay?” he asked softly, running a hand down her back.Cordelia did not actually have much to do. Before Janine left, she had already told Mr. Smith to handle the recent company affairs.“I want to take you somewhere.”“Hmm?” Cordelia looked up at him. “Where?”Zephyr smiled

    After Cordelia grew up, she always thought that she would learn harder and play more wholeheartedly than Yelena if she was given a chance to learn back then.Her expression dimmed, and she left the pipe organ to sit on the front row.Zephyr crouched down in front of her and smiled gently with his eyes on her.“Honey, do you still remember how the wedding went when I took you here back then?”Cordelia nodded.She had worn the 4,000-dollar wedding dress, so expensive that her heart ached over it.It was not like now. She could afford a 400,000-dollar wedding dress as long as she wanted to.Zephyr pulled out his phone. There was a video clip he treasured. Her smile was carefree and pure in the video, like a fairy in the worldly realm. Her voice was sweet and exuberant.“I vow to love my husband no matter what he becomes!“Hmm… even if he becomes fat, ugly, old and stupid, or bald and plump, he’s my husband, now and forever. I’ll stay by his side eternally and not abandon him!”C

    "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
