Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1916

"Is there something you'd like to tell me?" Morpheus asked.

"Umm..." Persephone pursed her lips. "Do you think I was being unreasonable at the store?"

"What?"

"The brand is known for its quality. Basically, nobody would get a refund," she said softly. "As soon as the manager finds out that someone requested a refund, the shop assistant will be questioned and might be fired."

"What? You can't bear for that to happen to her?"

"No." She looked into his eyes. All the words were stuck in her throat-she had no idea how to say it.

It was not that she couldn't bear to do it she cared about what he thought.

She was worried he might think she was being stubborn and stirring trouble.

She was worried she might become an unreasonable and self-centered girl to him.

Even she was shocked when that thought came up. Why did she care about that so much?

"That's how the world is." Morpheus' voice was deep. "If we don't bully anyone, we can't just take it blindly when we're bullied. Is it fair if you don't fight back when they're punching your face?" He stared at her when he spoke. There was a smirk on his chiseled face.

"So... you supported what I did?"

"What else?"

They locked eyes and smiled.

The smile sent a wave to his heart, breaking his tough barrier. Although Persephone bought nothing that night, she felt happy.

After getting home, she washed up and fell asleep on the couch.

Just then, Morpheus happened to bring the blanket and pillow from the room.

He wanted to let her sleep in the bedroom since she had been sleeping on the couch for many days. He had cleaned yesterday, so he was going to let her sleep there today.

When he saw her sleeping soundly on the couch, he felt exasperated. He walked to her and watched her sleeping quietly.

Time seemed to have stopped, and the air around seemed to have turned soft as well.

His heart seemed to be blooming.

Morpheus couldn't help but stretch his hand to brush her messy hair. However, he hesitated as his hand hung in the air and slowly retracted it.

Could it be that... he hoped for more between them? How could anything happen to them?!

Persephone would go back to her world sooner or later. Her world must be beautiful, unlike his, facing the boxing ring, blood, and injuries every day.

He pursed his lips when he pulled his back as he retracted his hand. A burning pain came from his back.

He took a sharp breath, got up, holding in the pain, and ran to the bathroom.

Persephone was a light sleeper. She opened her eyes slowly when she heard the sound and noticed the pillow and blanket on the couch.

Morpheus was not in the bedroom, while there was some commotion coming from the bathroom.

She was more awake now and followed the sound with the help of the dimmed lights.

Morpheus' sounds came from the bathroom.

He seemed to be suppressing himself, his deep voice sounding in pain.

He had not closed the door entirely, so Persephone inched closer and saw his almost naked body that was only wrapped with a towel on his waist through the gap. Just then, she widened her eyes and covered her mouth from the scare!

"Who is it?"

Morpheus turned around upon hearing the commotion outside.
