Zephyr smiled. Janine would never tell him whatever good news she had, as she always called Cordelia for it.To Janine, her daughter-in-law was her own child, while she must have picked up her son from the street.Zephyr knew his mother well too. Her good news was nothing more than their company stock price rising, their rival's stock price plummeting, or her business empire expanding, her sore thumb of an enemy being eliminated…In spite of it, Janine's sudden voice swiftly blanked Zephyr's mind for several seconds."I have a boyfriend… and I want you to meet him!""What!?"Zephyr shoved himself over immediately. If Cordelia had not been fast with her hands, he would have knocked his head on the phone screen."Mom, what did you say? You got a boyfriend? For real?"Cordelia kept shooting him looks to stop him from behaving so dramatically, but how could she understand his feelings as a son about his mother…Zephyr was not a pedantic person. Even when his parents' divorce had h

It was difficult to make the willful man admit his fragility, but his reaction was evidence that Cordelia was right.After a stretched moment of silence, Zephyr finally spoke up. "Yes, honey…"Cordelia stroked his face adoringly."My parents are good to me after their divorce, both families are, but there's still a knot in my heart."Aunt Cloud sees me as her own, but when I see her, Zennie, and dad together sometimes, I feel like they're a family of three, and I'm only an outsider."And mom's going to have her own family now too…"Zephyr smiled and let out a self-deprecating chuckle. He snapped back to himself briefly and looked at Cordelia to ask in worry, "Do you think I'm being petty?"Cordelia curled up in his arms. Her warmth and sweet fragrance were the one and only antidote in the world that slowly calmed Zephyr down."Silly." Her soft voice rang in his ear. "This isn't being petty. This is only human."Zephyr's heart clenched."Darling, why would you be left behind?

Although they had not met much, Zuko was not shy and spread his chubby arms to go to his grandmother.Janine, who was known to be tough as steel, melted over the little boy. She kissed his cheek and carefully carried him to the car, placing him in the baby car seat.After Zuko was settled in, Janine was going to get into the car from the other side when she felt someone yank her from the back."What?" She looked at her son in confusion.Zephyr was all smiles as he quietly told his mother his idea, "I'll leave Zuko at home for the next two days and take Cordelia around other places in Eropah!""Huh?""Mom, help me out!" Zephyr shot her a look. "Hold this little drag back, and don't let him get to Cordelia!"One sentence was all it took to enrage Janine.Janine then hit Zephyr on the head."You brat!" Janine glared at him. "Are you even literate? That's your son! Do you know what a drag is, and you call him that!?""I know…" Zephyr chuckled dryly. "I'm just analogizing!""Well

Cordelia looked out the window and asked, "Mom, this doesn't seem like the way home…""We're not going home yet. I'll take you for some food first!""Food?" Realization struck Cordelia, and she leaned forward with a smirk. "Is it a treat from my mother-in-law or my future father-in-law?""You child!" Janine giggled happily. "You're teasing me now, huh!?""Mom, what's he like? I'm curious."Janine looked at her and held her hand softly, keeping it a secret for now.They came to a stop at Baker Hotel shortly.As one of the iconic buildings in Melorian, Baker Hotel was well equipped with the conditions for success. Not only was it luxurious and grand on the exterior, but its service could also hardly be topped by other hotels.The building was cleared for Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton today, and the general manager welcomed them personally."Madam Baker, everything's set. It's at the revolving restaurant on the top floor.""Mm." Janine was happy with the setup. "Is Mr. Bond here already

Cordelia said softly, "Uncle Bond, we've read your work, and Zephyr likes it a lot. He can only sleep after flipping through a few pages every night!"Jim scratched his head in embarrassment and looked very down to earth when he smiled."Ah, you've flattered me. It's my luck that they could see me!"Cordelia chuckled.Destiny was a loser's excuse, while luck was the humble reason of a successful person.It seemed that Jim was a humble and open person. It was no wonder he was able to impress Janine, who reigned in the business world. Perhaps it was because their personalities were complementary.Jim seemed simple and honest, but he was considerate toward Janine. He knew that she was stressed over several projects recently and ordered her mild-flavored dishes. Janine had a bad back and easily grew tired when she sat for a long time, so he brought along a cushion and stuffed it behind her before she said anything.After Cordelia chatted with Jim, she also found him to be a friendly

“Hmm… not entirely.” Jim was eloquent when it came to his work. "It'd still be a mystery novel most of the time, but there'll be elements of romance incorporated.""That must be interesting!" Cordelia looked at him. "Can we have a spoiler, Uncle Bond?""Darling!" Zephyr shot her a look to stop her with a smile.He knew writers had quirks and did not like others to find out the storyline in advance.Jim was different. He generously explained, "There's a part in the novel based on a true story…"I've looked it up. There used to be Southeast Aciatic princess who fell in love with a traveling artist in Melorian when she visited here.""What!?" Cordelia and Zephyr froze and looked at each other simultaneously before they paid attention to what he said next."The traveling artist was a nomad and was said to be incredibly talented! Of course, he was very good-looking too. Why else would the princess be smitten?""What happened after that?"Jim continued. "I only remember that the roy

Rowan had been a visiting professor in Southeast Aciatic's medical college recently and had not gone to check on Helene.Despite that, Aurelia did well as his spy in the west palace.Victoria sometimes stood at a high point of the palace to observe the west palace with a pair of binoculars. She had been under the impression that Helene would go crazy and torture Aurelia occasionally by locking the latter in there. She thought that she could hear Aurelia scream for help or see her being tortured to be less than human.Everything seemed to go against her imagination.The west palace was quiet as usual. Victoria could only see that everything in there was in order through the binoculars.From time to time, Aurelia would appear in the front yard, but she looked rosy and radiant. Besides being a bit thin, she did not look like she had been tormented at all.Victoria frowned and bit her lips in resentment.Which part had gone wrong? That woman attacked anyone she saw like a rabid dog.

Aurelia's hand that was holding the needle and thread paused.Helene snuggled the pillow with her face intimately, swaying it gently and humming a lullaby as if she was really lulling a baby to sleep."My baby is a girl…" she talked to herself, then smiled at Aurelia. "A very pretty girl!"Aurelia felt a pinch in her nose.Before she came to Southeast Aciatic, she did not know that girls could be pampered so much. She thought of her parents when in fact, her impression of the two of them was already blurry.Before she was ten years old, the family of three had crammed in the dark, dirty, and damp basement. Even if a single penny was left at home, her father would take it for alcohol and drugs. Their source of income had been her mother's prostitution.Aurelia remembered that her mother would dress scantily and stand by the streets even when it was in the middle of the winter, making sexy giggles that made one's hair stand on end.The two of them did not really care about her.

"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
