Zephyr was smirking on the other side of the phone.Cordelia and Carter's peals of laughter came from the living room.He looked inside and saw the few young maids surrounding him. They fed him snacks and tea and took extra care of him.Their eyes were lit up.Zephyr chuckled. Indeed, Carter had changed. He recalled when he was the boy who was bullied terribly in school. He would cry in the middle of the night, complaining to his sister. In the end, his brother-in-law would have to fend for him.And now, Carter was the official heir of Irwin Pharmaceuticals.Rowan taught and guided him, paving Carter's way for him. Meanwhile, Carter was hardworking. He had shown his outstanding talent in medicine since he was young.Not only did he graduate medical school two years in advance, but he also mastered medicine-making and acupuncture quickly.He had a halo on his head just by sitting there. He was majestic in everything he did."Hubby!" Cordelia smiled and waved to get him to come

See, his sister was so nervous even when Zephyr choked on water!Carter chuckled and slipped away with the excuse of wanting to sleep due to his jetlag.Zephyr recovered and felt like laughing, looking at Cordelia."I didn't expect my father-in-law to be so brutal.""Yeah," Cordelia answered as she patted his back. "He has a successor for his silver needles now!"Zephyr suddenly thought of something. Carter was great medically, so it might be useful.Cordelia snuggled Zephyr like a kitten. "Darling, I'm sleepy.""Let's go back to sleep in our room.""But I don't want to walk…""Fine." Zephyr was ready to fulfill all her requests. "I'll carry you!" he said as he princess-carried Cordelia and went upstairs slowly."Darling, it's like I don't need legs anymore after encountering you!""No way," Zephyr said softly. "You don't need them most of the time, but there's a time when you do.""When?""When you're unhappy," he said with a smile and an indulging gaze, "You can kick me

Hannah hooked a finger to gesture Ava closer to talk. When the latter sat down in front of her, she lowered her voice to a mere whisper."Ava, of course, this child can't be kept…""What?" Ava was stunned.Since her mother was pregnant, she felt like the baby that had not been born yet would take her already scarce love away, so she was incredibly displeased.Now that she heard what Hannah said, she wavered. After all, this was her sibling of the same mother. If it were really a boy, he might be useful to her in the future."Why, mom? Did the doctor say it can't survive?""I know my own body." Hannah looked at her. "It's too risky for someone at my age to give birth. Even if it's born, it might not be easy to raise… Besides, he's not the fool's, so…""Mom, the fool doesn't even know! Look how happy he's been. He'll keep protecting you!""No!" Hannah's expression changed. "Noah's a fool but not Zephyr and Cordelia!"Ava widened her eyes. "Did they find out?""Not for now, but

"It's fine," Cordelia said softly. "I've ordered a drink for you. You like blueberry cheese milk tea, right?""Hah, Cordelia." Ava still refused to remove her sunglasses. "I liked it last time, but not now! I have to maintain my figure now. After all, I have so many scenes to shoot… Besides, if someone caught me having milk tea in a shop like this, it'd affect my image!""Oh…" Cordelia nodded and did her best to look nonchalant. "Oh, yeah, Ava, I asked you out today to talk to you about the film.""Everything's going smoothly, don't worry!" Ava jutted her chin. "Ms. Lulham says that I'm a talented actress, and this film will definitely boost me to stardom!""Really?" Cordelia chuckled. "It's great that you received her compliments, but… I'm afraid the production can't go on."Ava removed her sunglasses, and her eyes were wide like saucers."What did you say!?""Ava, calm down," Cordelia coaxed her softly. "Well, I've gone through the Baker Group's accounts, and there isn't much

Zephyr uttered lightly with a deep voice, "No problem."The men he had arranged had followed Ava's cab and sent him the GPS location.The cab was going toward a certain direction outside of the city and was the same one when they followed Hannah the last time.Ava was indeed going to Chuck.Zephyr smirked. The increasing amount of evidence was like an expanding balloon waiting to explode with a bang one day. The truth might hurt for the time being, but it would be a lifetime of relief to Noah."Thanks, darling," Zephyr said softly. "Go rest up. Leave the rest to me."Cordelia nodded and returned to the villa escorted by the bodyguards.A few days later, Zephyr met Neil in the office.The award-winning actor sat casually and leisurely on the couch with his long legs crossed. Even a white suit that was a challenge to wear looked incredibly fitting on him.The Baker Group's female employees rarely came to this floor because they were usually scared of Zephyr. Still, their passi

The party was in the yard. String instruments were played melodically, with the aroma of wine drifting in the air. The roses in the garden were in full bloom too. It felt as if one was back in the 16th century Eropah with a dreamy tinge.With her very pregnant belly, Cordelia socialized with Zephyr among the crowd. Zephyr felt bad about her difficulty in walking and was going to carry her when she held his arm."What?" The man chuckled. "Didn't you say that you don't need your legs anymore after you're with me?""I still need them now!" Cordelia whispered harshly, "It's not nice in front of your family!""What does coddling my wife have to do with them?"Cordelia chuckled but stopped him anyway."Our Cordelia's simply too sensible!" Janine said in a lowered voice as well, "It's nothing to let him carry you. Your feet look so swollen… It must hurt?"Cordelia shook her head docilely.A woman's shrill voice came from afar. "Oh, our Mrs. Hamerton's really so sensible! So much so th

Hannah scrambled up from the ground instantly and glared at Zephyr."Z-Zephyr Hamerton! How dare you speak to your aunt like this!?""How dare you speak to my son like this!?" Janine's stern voice intimidated everyone.Hannah shrank back and poked Noah discreetly for him to kick up another fuss.Noah yelled recklessly, "Janine, you're being unreasonable! What… What has Hannah done wrong? Why did you send people to follow her!?"She has my child! D-Do you hate her so much? Do you hate me too!?"Janine grimaced. She wanted to lash out several times but held back.Once she thought of how her little brother had saved her without a care for his own safety when they were younger, she caved. No matter how big her temper was, she could not let it out as guilt devoured her whole.Zephyr went up to pat her shoulders for her to step back.He would unleash the temper his mother was unable to lash out. Growing up, he had never seen his mother so weak. Besides, this was not a temper. Tolera

Hannah choked, unable to get a word out.Janine sneered. "Cordelia's right if you ask me! If she and Zephyr didn't keep an eye out and have someone follow Ava, she might really be deceived by the old man!"And you have a baby now, Hannah, but you can't neglect your daughter, right?""Enough!" Hannah screamed and spotted Ava who was hiding among the crowd at a glance.Ava kept her head lowered and looked as frantic as she was.The moment their eyes met, Ava could clearly feel the murderous glint in her mother's eyes and shuddered.Franklin came over.He had heard the ruckus that happened over here, and someone had told him everything that unfolded.Living to this age, Franklin had long mastered the skill of masking his emotions. However, there was a storm in the bottom of his unfazed eyes, and his silence was only the quiet before the storm."Hannah Johnson, Ava Baker." Franklin's voice startled the two women like a hammer. "Explain this!""Dad…""Grandpa…""Grandpa, let me

"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
