“I…” Fredric licked his lips and smiled awkwardly.

“This is a bar. It isn’t a place where girls like you would come. I thought I saw you, so I came after you… Wouldn’t your brother flip the entire Centrolis over if something happened to you?”

“I’m an adult, okay?” Zennie mumbled. “Also, can’t I come here to relax due to the stress I’m getting from school? Who said bars prohibit students…”

“Okay, okay.” He was helpless, “Don’t stay out late. Go home soon.”

“Got it. I’m going home now!” She waved at him and hopped toward the main street happily.

Fredric frowned as he watched her leave.

He was unsure why, but he had a feeling she seemed to be different from how she usually was.

Although she had tried her best to force her usual cheekiness… No matter what, she was different.

He hoped that he was overthinking. After thinking it through, he decided to inform Seth. He was the boyfriend that everyone wished Zennie would end up with!

He walked to the car park to hail a cab and texted

    Phil kept challenging Zennie’s sensitivity, driving her mad.“I’m begging you, Phil…” Zennie looked at him while crying. “Let me go. I really can’t do it… I’ve no grudge against the people at the bar. Why would I want to harm them with drugs?“Phil, I won’t tell anyone if you let me go. Okay? Let me go… I’ll give you money, I’ll give you a lot of money, enough for you to leave Centrolis and live a good life…”She was panting from crying and sounded incoherent.Although it was the main street, not many people walked by.Even when there were some pedestrians, whenever Zennie wanted to beg for help, Phil would grab her waist to hug her. He would lift his baseball cap and smile at the passersby apologetically.The more she struggled, the more he wanted to fight her.‘Stop it, baby. Come home with me!”His voice was even gentler than the light at dawn. The passersby would smile from their hearts when they heard what he said.Zennie shrieked with all that she had. “Help! Help me!”

    “Work well!” Liam smiled. “I believe your wife will treat you well!”What?Zephyr was stunned and could not react for a long time.“Say… What’s wrong with you? Why do you keep zoning out?” Liam glanced at him, irritated. He could not believe the heir that he trained himself was only left with a handsome face now. He had nothing in his brain.Zephyr forced a smile. “Grandpa, I don’t understand what you mean…”“I’m saying that you should work for your wife. Don’t let her exhaust herself! Cordelia is reasonable. I heard that she gives you… allowance? I’m sure she’ll raise your allowance a little bit!”Zephyr was rendered speechless. He stared at his wife, who was laughing out loud.In the end, he was still a bee that worked for his wife?‘Alright, then…’He had signed the labor contract for life. He would belong to her as long as he was alive. He would forever be hers, even in his next lives.He patted her head with allure in his eyes. He could not hide the sweetness his smile o

    Zephyr scoffed, showing a look of disdain.Cordelia covered her mouth to smile. She was happy.Xyla was a bright woman. How would she be fooled by what Rowan said? She walked slowly to him, her smile catching him off-guard. Subsequently, she grabbed his wrist and poked an acupoint…“Ouch!” Rowan screamed. He lost his image.“How many more cards do you have?”“Three more!”“Give them to me!”With a simple order, she confiscated his treasury.She smiled in satisfaction. In the end, she handed the black card to Zephyr.“Mom, I…” Zephyr hesitated. He was not sure if he should take it!“It’s okay. It’s from me!” Xyla looked at him with love, and she looked at Cordelia. “My daughter definitely agrees with this, right?”Cordelia looked playful. “Mom, of course I have no opinion of how you express your love for your son-in-law!”“Mm-hmm, take it!”Zephyr took it over in relief and chuckled.Rowan stood aside like a good boy while carrying Ginger. It pitied him by meowing. It was

    Cordelia hugged Zephyr, leaning her head on his chest.When she heard his powerful heartbeat, it brought her security and warmth.“Hubby, does she know that you bugged her backpack?”“No,” Zephyr said. “She can’t find out.”“Hubby…” Cordelia smiled. “Seems like great minds think alike!”“What?”She smiled in silence. She turned around to grab a small item that was like a USB drive from her bag and connected it to her computer.Zephyr was stunned. “What’s this?”“It’s similar to your secret listening device.” She turned her head to look at him. “But it’s a special communication device from the Southeast Aciatic’s military. It can see her phone’s content.“I’ve used this since earlier. Let’s wait for a little bit. We should get news soon. Hmm… We should get something tomorrow morning if we don’t get anything tonight.”Zephyr did not focus on the last sentence. His thoughts stopped when he heard “Southeast Aciatic’s military”...They said even the aristocrats would have to resp

    “W-What’s this!?”Cordelia inhaled sharply.Zephyr’s face turned grim, and a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.Zennie wore a revealing dress in each picture, and they had all been taken at Nicholas’ bar and club.She was posing seductively as if she was trying to show her private parts.Different men were surrounding her. It was obscene.Cordelia could see more rage in Zephyr’s eyes as they saw more pictures.“Hubby, I’m sure this isn’t her…” She said, “Technology is advanced now. People with ill intentions would edit some girls’ pictures to blackmail them.”Zephyr paused and nodded.He knew about AI technology as well. Not only could it change someone’s face, but it would imitate their expressions as well.There were even videos that went viral on the Internet, saying that those were some best actors’ new work, but they were just deep fake videos.Many celebrities had court cases on that.“Hubby, it was Phil who sent them to Zennie.” Cordelia checked the sender’s information

    “It’s the same now, hubby.” Cordelia held Zephyr’s hands. “You don’t have to fight Phil. There are many things that we can do to make him pay!”Zephyr smiled and patted her head. She felt warm.She continued to look at the records on the device. She did not only look at the latest ones, but she looked through the older ones as well.Zennie had been in love with Phil back then. They would chat for a long time every day.Almost everything he said was manipulative. It destroyed her confidence, making her fall into fear.Cordelia was shaking as she looked.During their recent conversation, he secretly got her to bring drugs to a bar.“Josiah has shares in that bar,” Zephyr said in a deep voice. “When they find drugs in the bar, the Bayers will be dragged into it!”She was shocked. “So, he did that to harm the Bayers?”“Yes.”Zephyr looked serious.Phil had approached Zennie with ulterior motives from the beginning. He had been controlling her to reach his secret goal.Zephyr wa

    Zephyr smiled helplessly. There was nothing he could do about Cordelia. Well, she was the boss now. She had to have the temperament of the matriarch when she was the one running the household now.He took her into his arms and rubbed her back softly.He said softly, “Promise me, if Lukas finds out who you are and you can’t get anything from him, do not fight him…”“Mm, I’ll protect myself.”Zephyr looked at her in full attention. “Find somewhere and hide. Leave everything else to me!”The next day…Cordelia made taro boba milk tea and strawberry egg tarts to take them to Gale Bay.Zennie was cooped up in the room, and the maid told Cordelia that she had not been too happy these days.“Dr. Stafford’s gone to participate in a medical seminar in Jangasas, and Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton are overseas, taking care of the foreign market…”“So, Zennie has been staying home alone these days?” Cordelia widened her eyes.“Not exactly,” the maid answered honestly. “Ms. Zennie revises in her r

    Zennie stretched a hand out for the egg tart, but she felt her vision blur halfway in the air. She could not see Cordelia, and her voice sounded like it came from the sky. It grew farther and softer. Then her vision went black, and she passed out.Cordelia made sure that Zennie was unconscious and placed her on the couch, tucking her in with a pillow and a blanket. She then told the maid, “Zennie’s a little tired and is sleeping. Keep an eye on her at the door and tuck her in from time to time so she doesn’t catch a cold.”Zephyr was waiting for her at the door. Cordelia wore a relieved smile as soon as she saw her husband.“I feel a little bad for doing this to Zennie.” She felt guilty.“It’s just some sleeping pills mixed in. It’ll be fine.” Zephyr comforted her softly. “Let her have a good sleep. Everything will be over when she wakes up.”Cordelia nodded, and they departed to the agreed location to meet with Lukas.The so-called old place was just a deserted hut in Hamerton M

    "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
