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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDuring 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.

Lina raised an eyebrow, quietly observing Persephone.

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?"
