Zuko turned to look at the young woman beside him and felt that she was like a cherry blossom, delicate and captivating.At that moment, a subconscious voice suddenly asked him, 'Do you still remember Pammy?'Zuko's hands trembled slightly, and he quickly shoveled food into his mouth to conceal his absent-mindedness. 'Pammy…'Had Pammy still been there, would he have fulfilled the marriage agreement with the Thompsons long ago, gradually taken over the Hamerton Group, and become a good husband and father?Meanwhile, he was now in Jangasas as Zeke Hamerton. He had shed the husk of Zuko, but he knew that he would forever be in Pammy's shadow.Actually, he had told himself many times that Pammy was only five years old when she went missing, and he was just a child. How could a child have such deep feelings? He should not have cared so much.For some reason, every time he saw Lina, her innocent smile, her soft voice, and her pouts when she was teased, he could not help but think of P

Zuko was bewildered. The indecent conversation and crude language stung his eyes.Zuko scoffed. "What's this!?"Jacob told him truthfully, "This is chat records between Violet and a male escort."Zuko was taken aback, his expression changing. "A male escort?""Yes." Jacob chuckled. "The kind of men in nightclubs who are handsome and have hot bodies specifically to entertain wealthy women."Zuko felt a wave of nausea. "Violet has such a fetish?""I didn't believe it at first either." Jacob shrugged, his expression complicated. "She doesn't have a good reputation in the circle, but I couldn't believe she'd stoop so low as to hire male escorts. Then I...""You tried it out yourself?" Zuko's sharp eyes immediately saw through it.Jacob froze, his expression complex as he nodded. Then he explained the whole process to Zuko, "I heard that she likes to hire male escorts, so I registered an account and pretended to be one to chat with her. Unexpectedly, she took the bait! She's been tr

Lina had not just heard them. It was obvious she had also misunderstood—evident from her gaze on Jacob!Zuko could not help but burst into laughter.Jacob panicked and was about to explain, but Zuko interrupted him. "Yeah, Jacob, don't come looking for me anymore! I really can't do that kind of thing you mentioned!"Jacob was at a loss for words.'Damn it!' Jacob widened his eyes, doubtful and exasperated.Lina's heart warmed, and she tightened her grip on Zuko's arm.Zuko smiled at her, then fixed his serious gaze on Jacob. "I know you wanted me to join you in this line of work back when we were in there. But Jacob, what Lina said is right. Being a male escort isn't a long-term thing!""Zu—""Perhaps you should also consider your own future!"Jacob's nostrils flared as he panted heavily.Zuko struggled to contain his laughter, feeling his stomach ache. He confidently led Lina to stroll by the seaside, leaving the shocked Jacob.Not long after they left, Zuko's phone buzzed

Zuko paused and called Jacob. "What happened at home?""It's not your family," Jacob replied in a low voice. "It's the Thompsons.""The Thompsons?""It seems... it's about the little girl betrothed to you in childhood," Jacob said hastily. "I couldn't inquire too much about your family matters. Just make a trip back.""Okay, got it," replied Zuko, agreeing and ending the call.Lina was walking ahead and did not hear him making the call. The night enveloped her joyful figure as she occasionally turned around and waved at him.Zuko spent the next two days contemplating how to take a "leave" from the Jenners. After much consideration, he decided to be honest. "My younger brother called and said there's something going on at home. He wants me to go back for a while. I won't be away for long, just two or three days, and I'll definitely rush back."After speaking, Zuko looked directly at Jesse and Melissa, who were standing in front of him. They both stared at him intently for a momen

Zuko glared at Toph. Before he could say anything, Wendy, the nanny who had been taking care of them since they were little, came over with a smile. "Mr. Toph, this brand is decent. It's cheap and has a large volume. It's economical! I'll use this to fry sometime for you both tonight!""Don't use this one first!" Zuko said in a serious manner."Huh?""Uh, I mean…" Zuko rubbed his nose with an evasive gaze. "Don't use it up too quickly!"Wendy was confused. It was not like the Hamertons could not afford the peanut oil, but she nodded anyway.Zuko watched the servants put the items away, neatly kept in the cabinets according to his request, like he was watching over some treasure, and flashed a pleased smile."I'm going to see our parents," he said and left, leaving Toph and Wendy stunned.Wendy asked, "Mr. Toph, what's gotten into him? When have either of you come into the kitchen and got concerned over how things are kept since you were kids?"Toph had always been smart. In add

Zuko lazily leaned back on the sheepskin sofa.The servant had already prepared his usual hand-brewed Yirgacheffe coffee, and the aroma filled his nose, making him feel like he was in a dream.In the dream, he was in Jangasas. Now that he woke up from the dream, he was back in Centrolis."How is it, Zuko?" Cordelia asked with a smile, "Is the cake delicious?"Zuko nodded, pretending that it was tasty. In truth, he did not have much, as he did not enjoy sweet things.He had heard that his father did not like sweets either, but his mother did, so he followed suit. Then his mother started calling him "Bald Meatball".Zuko chuckled. His father had actually aged quite well compared to his peers. The Hamertons had good genes in that regard. Even in his middle age, Zephyr was a tall and handsome middle-aged man with a touch of mature charm.Zuko sat up and asked, "Dad, mom, what happened that I'm needed back so urgently?"Zephyr looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Jacob didn't te

"Zuko? Zuko!" Cordelia called Zuko a few times before he snapped out of his trance. Before he could speak, Zephyr gave his leg a light kick."What are you thinking about?" His father's deep and stern voice echoed. "Your mother's talking to you, and you dare to be distracted!?"Zuko shrank into himself and looked at his mother for help."Our son just came back. Stop nagging him!" Cordelia looked like she was scolding Zephyr, but she hooked her hand over his arm and smiled. "You can't always be so angry, or you'll get more wrinkles!"Zephyr smiled as well as he held a hand over Cordelia's gently.Zuko felt like he was redundant there."Dad, mom, uh, I—""You're not allowed to leave! Your mother isn't done!" Zephyr shot him another glare.Zuko sat still obediently."Zuko, I've discussed it with your father," Cordelia said softly. "Stay a few more days in Centrolis and take some time out to visit the Thompsons to take a look at Pammy.""What?"Zuko was bewildered but quickly und

The fourth floor was Zuko's "observatory deck".When he was young, he loved stargazing, so his father had built this observatory for him.A huge globe was in the center of the room, and a Hubble telescope stood by the window. This was Zuko's private sanctuary.He had sensitive and vulnerable phases during his adolescence too, and when he could not resolve his troubles, he would come to this observatory and entrust his worries to the distant stars.He once again stood in front of the telescope.He had heard that wormholes in space were real and could connect two distant points in time and space. In that case, could he travel through a wormhole and go back to the day when Pammy disappeared? He really wanted to see who had taken her away....It was the weekend. It was drizzling in Centrolis, while Jangasas enjoyed clear skies.Lina stretched lazily, wearing a simple T-shirt and wide-leg pants, as she went downstairs to help Melissa prepare breakfast.Melissa looked her up and do

"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
