Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1989

Morpheus had been a general with blood on his hands.

"M-Morpheus?" Theodore noticed his unusual demeanor and cautiously asked, "What's wrong?"

Morpheus silently dismounted and walked in another direction.

To everyone else, he seemed peculiar-silent, devoid of any presence or expression.

Yet, at that very moment, scenes from the battlefield flooded his mind, tearing him apart like invisible hands.

Persephone's mental state improved day by day.

During this time, in addition to immersing herself in books in the study, she often joined Morpheus by the seaside to watch sunsets and stars.

Morpheus was considerate, always remembering to bring an extra jacket and her favorite hot chocolate.

Sometimes, watching the sunset, Persephone felt a sense of dislocation in time. The sunset in Centrolis was different from Flinge's. It was serene here, while Flinge's sunset carried a desolate feeling. She would ask him, "Would you be willing to stay here with me forever?"

Every time, Morpheus would gently smile at her, caress her hair, and let her lean her head against his shoulder, kissing her silky hair.

Some things didn't need to be said. His actions were proof enough of his willingness to follow her for a lifetime.

One day, as Persephone was about to leave, she saw her parents arriving together.

Zuko and Lina walked into her courtyard, and the family of three sat comfortably under the tree to chat over tea-pleasant and at ease. However, Persephone was a bit anxious, frequently checking her watch until she struggled even to smile.

"Is something bothering you?" Lina had long sensed her daughter's unease.

Persephone spoke frankly. "Mom, I've made plans to paint in Morpheus' courtyard today. He's never seen me paint before!"

Lina raised an eyebrow, quietly observing Persephone.

Having gone through her own adolescent period, how could she not understand her daughter's current state?

Persephone was in love, and it was a passionate phase.

Under the tense atmosphere in Flinge before, they might have hidden their affections, but now that they were back in Centrolis and everything had settled, this love bloomed rapidly like seeds after the rain. Lina's expression turned serious. "Sephy, honestly, your dad and I came today to remind you... Maybe you should keep a bit of distance from Morpheus."

"What?" Persephone was taken aback, almost dropping her art supplies.

"Your mother's right." Zuko cleared his throat. "You've been getting too close to Morpheus lately. With so many eyes in the family watching, if rumors spread, it won't be good for your reputation. After all, you're not married yet, and-"

Persephone stood up abruptly. "Is it bad for my reputation, or is it disrupting your plans?"

Zuko's expression darkened. "Is this how you speak to your father?"
