Wynn couldn't catch Persephone. As such, he could only accompany her into the shopping mall with his head held low. It marked the first time he saw her in a different light. Her eyes lit up as soon as she

entered.

Despite being nothing compared to Centrolis, the mall boasted a collection of global brands and luxury items. Its location at the border intersecting a couple of provinces made it unique. This made many limited edition collections available, and their prices were 1/3 cheaper than in Centrolis.

Persephone felt like she was in heaven, behaving like a happy bird that had flown out of its cage.

Wynn followed her, feeling uncomfortable as shop assistants looked at them with judgment. However, she indulged herself, oblivious to the stares.

"Sephy..." He said softly, "It's almost time. Let's go?"

"We're leaving now?" She was stunned. "We've just come in!"

Wynn forced a smile. "I can't even afford a cotton pad here!"

She pouted.

However, she was familiar with these brands.

"I promised to buy you better skincare." She looked at him. "Although Shirley is irritating, she said one thing right... You should stop using horrible cosmetics."

"I'm a lowly person, so why not?"

"Stop it!" Persephone glared at him. "You are a good person and deserve good things!"

He felt a squeeze in his heart. His lips quivered, and he became teary.

"Why must you beat yourself up?" She patted his shoulder. "My grandma told me since young that anyone can step on you, but you're the only one who can't step on yourself! Even if you're deep in mud, you must bloom like a flower!"

"Your grandma is amazing," Wynn said enviously. "I don't have a family who said things like that to me. Sephy... y-your family must be wealthy, right? Since you're not from Flinge, where are you from?" She fell into silence and did not answer.

She remembered what Morpheus told her at all times-telling the truth was a big no here. Never let people know your trump card, nor should you trust someone entirely.

"My family... is just mediocre." Persephone smiled and changed the subject instantly. "Hey, Wynn, this brand is amazing!"

Before he could react, she pulled him into a store with an elegant design. It was bigger than any of the stores, like a dazzling pearl in the entire shopping mall. It was so dazzling that it was glaring. The conspicuous "Cece" logo exuded sophistication.

Persephone had been using this brand since she was in middle school. However, she had never picked the items at the store. Instead, the chief designer would go to her every time they launched new items. "This, this, and this!" She pointed at a couple of samples on the counter and got the shop assistant to bring her the items.

"Sephy..." Wynn whispered, "It's too expensive."

"Don't worry!"

"Do you have money?"

She thought to herself. She had no money, but Morpheus did!

Did he not give her a credit card earlier?

"Just buy!" She smiled. "I'm paying!"

She went to pay after saying that. She took out the credit card Morpheus had given her naturally. However, she paused the moment she was going to swipe it.
