Cordelia looked up and met Zephyr's gentle and indifferent eyes. The man grew up being pushed and motivated. He would certainly not want his son to go through what he had been through."I think as long as Zuko grows up healthy and happy," she said softly. "I'm not an ambitious person to start with, so I naturally wouldn't ask too much from our son!"Honey, you… probably think the same, right?"Zephyr arched his brow.The same? Heh, how was that possible!?Once Zephyr thought that the boy was occupying Cordelia since his birth and would occupy her for even longer after this, he felt…Zephyr smirked. "Darling, you're wrong!""Huh?""I think exactly the opposite of you. I think the study plan's great! He is a boy and should go through more grinding!"Cordelia widened her eyes speechlessly."If Zuko can't take the hardships of studying, he'll have to take the hardships life throws at him later!" Zephyr said confidently, "Darling, you wouldn't want him to become a prodigal heir, r

Since Neil returned to Centrolis, he stirred up some commotion.Interviews from various media companies came incessantly while film contracts were sent to him like a snowstorm. His agent, Shane, was drowned with the number of scripts they received. A few of the big productions were rather tempting."Neil, look at this… The artistic film this director shoots isn't worse than Trinity's. He's won an Oscar before!"And this. Didn't you want to change up your role and go for the spy action genre? This script is not bad!"You'll work with a few seniors in this film. The reputation's guaranteed. If you ask me, historical and serious dramas like these will be beneficial to you if you pick them. What do you think?"Neil Harris, say something. Which one do you want to go for?"Other actors fought for resources while resources lined up after the award-winning actor Neil Harris. He could just sit there, and good scripts were sent his way.However, Neil was not in the mood. He took a glance

Neil suppressed his emotions to maintain superficial politeness and courtesy. However, the reporters were relentless no matter how he diverted the topic. Some even began to make stories up right in front of him.Neil looked at Shane, who shot him a look to ask him to hold it in."People!" Shane went up with a smile and put Neil behind him. "That's all for our interview today. It's the red carpet here. Let's not delay the interview coming up…""Does this mean that Mr. Harris really has a fiancee since he doesn't want to answer the question?""I said, this is my privacy!" Neil stopped in his tracks, and his gaze turned sharp. "I do not want to say more!""Are you feeling guilty about something since you're not answering?"Even Shane, who had a mild temper, was provoked now. "What's up with you? Does Neil have to tell you every single one of his private affairs?""Mr. Harris' private affairs are the public affairs of his fans!" That particular reporter was triumphant. "If you don't

Cordelia was always worrying and afraid, fretting that something was wrong with her baby. Sometimes, she was so anxious at night that she felt for her son’s breathing from time to time.Zuko clung to her especially much too, crying whenever he did not see his mother. Cordelia could not get away even if she wanted to.“Motherhood’s never easy!” Helen said with a grin, “Our baby Zuko’s already very easy to handle! Right, there’s a term for it online… angel baby!”Cordelia chuckled. “Aunt Helen, you go online too?”“Of course! I might be old, but I’m trendy! Just this afternoon, I went on social media!”Cordelia grinned. It was no wonder she did not see her for the whole afternoon.“Sigh, it’s just my bad eyesight that I can’t see some words clearly. I don’t know if it helps Aurelia!”“What?” Cordelia paused. “What does it have to do with Aurelia?”“Oh, well…” Helen explained, “The child came to me during noon, panicky, and asked me to sign up dozens of accounts to help her publis

There were numerous replies under that comment laughing at the poster for being an infatuated fangirl. However, Neil's hand stopped on the screen as his finger slowly glided over each word, like he was stroking her long, chestnut hair that was fluffy like a kitten's.That account's username was Sunny…Neil closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath."Say, Neil," Shane said with a lowered volume. "If you really don't feel like acting recently, I suggest that you go back to Southeast Aciatic for some time. Consider doing it for your family!""What happened?""Well…" Shane hesitated before telling him, "I heard that the princess in Southeast Aciatic is asking about you again!"…Later, Cordelia sprawled on the bed in exhaustion after coaxing her son to sleep.Zephyr came out from the bathroom and sat beside her to gently massage her shoulders."Oh, right here…" Cordelia exclaimed softly, "Harder!"Zephyr froze before he chuckled. "I'm afraid that too hard will hurt you.""No, it

Cordelia’s heart lurched. “Carter… tell me properly, how’s mom?”“Mom hasn’t been feeling well the past two months. I don’t know what illness it is in particular…” Carter’s voice wavered. "Dad said that you were giving birth, so he didn’t let me tell you. Cordelia, can you come?"Cordelia bit her lips. Fear engulfed her like a monster with a wide, bloodied mouth.Zephyr hugged her and took the phone, calmly telling Carter they would be back in Southeast Aciatic soon."Darling…” Cordelia was at a loss.She had just been thinking about the hardship in the past, not expecting that the shadow those days left could never be wiped away.“Don’t worry,” Zephyr comforted her softly. "Dad’s a good doctor. He’ll take good care of mom. I guess Carter’s calling because he’s so young and gets too nervous. It’s always been you when mom was sick in the past. Now that you aren’t around, he’s lost his support."Cordelia’s eyes were rimmed red with glistening tears.Zephyr hugged her, feeling his

Aurelia froze, looking at the familiar back. Her breath was caught as her heart skipped a beat.When Neil turned around and their eyes met, it was like the world had stopped moving.Ever since Neil took her to Centrolis, she had been staying in Royal Manor without any contact with him. Their only contact was her dozens of accounts that posted and commented under his video…Now that they had met again, Aurelia could not tell what she felt. She forced a stiff smile and greeted him as naturally as she could, "Hi, uncle!"Neil's gaze dimmed with a straight face, but his hands that were on his sides balled up into fists. He was kind of angry with himself. He kept telling himself that he had come to the airport to go back to Southeast Aciatic with Cordelia because he was worried about his aunt's illness and wanted to spend some time relaxing back home…In spite of it, his subconscious told him that it was because Aurelia was going there too. This was why he had rushed over so eagerly.

Was Neil getting angry out of embarrassment?Cordelia and Zephyr exchanged a look and chuckled in unison.Neil knew that he would be asking for a snub if he were to argue with the husband and wife since their love was so strong, so he shook his head and coyly stepped away to board his plane with his hands on his back.Neil's private plane was relatively small compared to the Hamertons', but the interior was luxurious and trendy in design. As he frequently flew everywhere across the world for filming, the plane was designed to match his superstar presence.Aurelia sat properly on her seat without moving, as if afraid that she would wreck or stain somewhere with an additional move.With wide eyes, she looked around curiously. Posters of movies that Neil had starred in were hung in the cabin of the plane, the man taking the center position in each of them.He was styled differently in each, with varying makeup, but all the posters shared a similarity—no matter how the man was dresse

"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
