Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Chatper 1584

Persephone looked at that man shyly. She had many questions flashing through her mind at the moment.

'Mommy said I should have good manners. Should I call him "sir" now?

'No, he looks much older than my uncle! So should I call him "mister"?

'But I've smudged my whole ice cream on his jacket. Maybe I should say sorry first?'

The ice cream was vanilla-flavored, and she had taken only a few licks.

The man spoke first. "Little girl, you're Persephone, right?" His voice was deep, like a cello. She was shocked.

He smiled mysteriously and glanced at his jacket, then heard a man and a woman screaming, "Sephy! Are you

okay?"

Nervously, Toph and Arya rushed over. They checked if she was hurt, then noticed the ice cream on the man's black

jacket.

"We're sorry, sir!" Toph apologized, nodding. "Your jacket is dirty now. How about we exchange phone numbers? I'll

have someone send you a new one after I buy it!"

The man shook his head. His eyes were enigmatic, impossible to read.

Toph studied him closely. Despite being middle-aged, he had a commanding presence and charisma. He wasn't an

ordinary man. There was a hint of melancholy in his expression, making him appear ruggedly handsome.

After years of being an artist, drawing attractive young men in his comics, this middle-aged man before him was

someone he had secretly wanted to draw but never dared to.

However, the charming gentleman seemed to be focused on Persephone.

"Am I correct?" he asked.

Persephone pouted and quickly thought. It seemed Toph didn't know this man, but how had he known her name

instantly? Lina had told her not to talk to strangers and stay cautious around people.

Thus, she raised her chin and said firmly, "No!"

Her childish voice made the man chuckle.

Toph and Arya were perplexed. "What's going on, Sephy?"

"Nothing." The man waved and placed his hands behind his back. He then looked at Toph. "I assume this isn't your

child? You don't seem... married."

"What are you getting at?" he asked.

At that moment, Sephy tugged on Toph's clothing. "Let's go, uncle!"

Toph couldn't figure it out, but Arya was on alert. She gently picked up Persephone and signaled Toph to leave.

"Does she enjoy this theme park?" the man suddenly asked.

Arya and Toph were at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.

The man smiled and said, "I can tell that not only the kid enjoys it, but you both do too, right?"

"Sir, may we ask—"

"This place will look very different after today," he claimed.

After saying that, the man turned and walked away.

Arya, Toph, and Persephone, in Arya's arms, watched him go in confusion.

When they got home that evening, Persephone went to bed immediately without even showering.

Lina stayed in the room with her while Zuko left the room and saw his brother playing games in the living room.
