Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Chapter 1933

Morpheus held Persephone's small hand tightly all the way. The evening breeze carried a hint of moisture,

shrouding her mind like a mist.

Upon returning home, Morpheus dove straight into the kitchen.

Persephone peeked, catching sight of his broad back and busy demeanor. A wave of complexity washed over her.

She had cooled down by now, and the sequence of events threaded together like beads in her mind.

And how could this person, unless intimately familiar with her, know so much?

Persephone's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, a fog clouded her vision, making it hard to discern her surroundings.

"Here, try this." Morpheus emerged from the kitchen in no time, presenting a small bowl of rose jelly.

The jelly, sprinkled with raisins and crushed peanuts, revealed beautiful rose petals beneath its crystalclear surface.

She was surprised, meeting his gaze.

"I haven't made this much. Still getting the hang of it," he said softly. "The jelly should have chilled longer. It

Persephone abruptly woke up, panting heavily. Only then did she notice the bright sky. The morning sunlight

streamed into the room, accompanied by the chirping of birds outside.

Everything seemed calm as if the explosion from last night hadn't occurred.

She shook her head, got up, and walked out of the room.

Morpheus had just brought breakfast when urgent knocking interrupted.

Morpheus' previously tender gaze turned cautious. He approached the door and peered through the peephole,

seeming hesitant for a moment before finally opening it.

"Seamus?" Persephone hurried over, almost embracing him. "Are you okay after last night? I thought you were still

at the police station, and you..."
