Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1927

Persephone stared at him, seemingly feeling guilty as if she had done something wrong. She swiftly withdrew her hand from Seamus' ear and clasped them behind her back.

Morpheus glanced at them. He hadn't heard what they were saying. After finishing his cigarette and returning indoors, he found no trace of the two. Instinctively, he stepped outside to find them and faintly caught the words "leaving" at the door.

His heart felt as though it had been squeezed and dropped to the ground, but he quickly regained his composure. He ironically thought, 'What right do I have to feel hurt?'

Between Persephone and Morpheus, aside from being labeled as a couple, nothing else had happened. He didn't even understand how she felt about it.

Their paths might have only crossed that night when she tenderly attended to his wounds. On that particular night, she glimpsed his scars, and it was only then that her tears fell for him.

Wasn't that enough?

They belonged to two different worlds.

Now that her boyfriend had arrived to take her away from this troublesome place, that was fine.

Morpheus forced a smile that looked more terrifying than his straight face.

"Are you... leaving?" he asked in a low voice.

Persephone glanced at Seamus, signaling him not to speak.

"How are you planning to leave?" Morpheus asked further. "You're not familiar with this area. I'll escort you when the time comes." Seamus was somewhat surprised. "Really?"

"Of course." For some reason, Morpheus seemed displeased whenever he saw Seamus. His "of course" sounded particularly harsh. However, Seamus didn't seem to mind. "It's great if you're willing to help."

Morpheus glanced at him, then chose to ignore him. He walked straight to Persephone and asked, "When are you planning to leave?"

"Um... Three days later," Persephone replied, lowering her gaze.

"Oh," Morpheus said thoughtfully. "Are you planning to take a boat?"

"Yes."

"In that case, I'll take you to the dock when the time comes. There are also some of Fat Jim's people in that area. Just in case. I can assist you in getting past them." Persephone bit her lip, saying nothing.

Meanwhile, Seamus smiled. "Thank you very much, Mr. Orton. I've already made arrangements, but it'd be good to have a local around in case of emergencies... I'm truly grateful for your help during this time you've looked after Persephone."

"You talk too much," Morpheus retorted coldly.

Seamus looked embarrassed and coughed lightly.

Morpheus withdrew his icy gaze and softened when he looked at Persephone. After contemplating for a while, he finally said, "Stay here during these three days. You know that Kourtney and Fat Jim's people have been around. If you move out now, it might attract their attention. You might not be able to leave then."

Seamus scowled upon hearing this. "Mr. Orton..."

Ignoring him, Morpheus kept his gaze on Persephone's face. "If your boyfriend is concerned, he can stay here too. Just one condition. You have to keep an eye on him and prevent him from wandering outside to avoid trouble."

Seamus was stunned, looking at Morpheus and then at Persephone. Just as he was about to say something, Persephone interjected, "Seamus, do as Morpheus says."

"But-"

"For these three days, I'll stay here, and you won't have to." Persephone's voice was quiet but carried an unchallengeable tone. "I want to... bid farewell to Morpheus properly." Seamus stared at her for a while, feeling helpless. Finally, he had to find an excuse to leave.
