Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1923

Persephone suddenly halted, realizing there were familiar faces around her. A surge of joy filled her, but she cautiously avoided looking around. She silently trailed behind Morpheus, taking small steps forward.

Morpheus turned around. "What's wrong?"

Persephone's heart raced as if it would leap out of her mouth. She looked up at him, unable to utter a single word. Her unusual expression and pale face puzzled Morpheus.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"No..."

"Let's look around, then head back."

Morpheus squinted. He noticed the flickering light on her wrist and her distracted demeanor and then recollected her prescriptions and those exotic ingredients only found in Southeast Aciatic...

His doubts gathered like thick clouds in his mind. This bracelet was highly unusual as he had never seen her take it off. Could this flickering pendant be some sort of signal?

Just as this thought struck him, he abruptly grabbed her shoulder and embraced her tightly.

Startled, Persephone raised her head and bumped into his firm chest. His increasingly dark gaze made her heart race even faster.

"Morpheus, you..."

Morpheus looked at her quietly. He wanted to ask who she truly was, but he remained silent. He hadn't hurt her. It was merely an abrupt gesture that, from another angle, might have seemed rather impolite.

And from that angle... Suddenly, someone emerged from the shadows!

Morpheus' gaze sharpened instantly. He pushed Persephone to the side, shielding her with his body.
