Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1994

Persephone stuck her tongue out. What he said hit the mark. He was always like this—when it was about himself, it was just a brief, "I'm doing fine."

When it was about Persephone, he would ramble on and on.

Persephone thought, 'Morpheus has been in Centrolis for a while now. Due to my family's connections, many people try to curry favor with him. But those who know him say he's enigmatic, solemn to the extreme, and maintains an icy demeanor toward everyone.

'Theodore told me that Morpheus inevitably attends some events in Centrolis, where there are always flashy socialites and heiresses. Initially, these girls surrounded him, but eventually, not a single one dared to get close.'

During her phone call with Theodore.

Persephone joked, "Is Morpheus hitting women?"

Theodore said, "Sis, of course, he wouldn't hit women. In his eyes, you're the only woman. Would he hit you?"

Persephone blushed and hastily hung up on Theodore.

"Sephy?" Morpheus' voice came through again.

Persephone snapped back, pretending to be annoyed. "Don't think that by changing the subject, I'll forget! You still haven't answered me. Why didn't you accept my video calls?"

Morpheus just chuckled.

"Morpheus!" Persephone got a bit agitated.

"Fine, I'll tell you," he murmured softly. "I... I had a sparring match today. My face is all bruised up. It's not a pretty sight."

"What?" Persephone's heart clenched.

But then she thought, 'How could he possibly get hit? He would always emerge unscathed, leaving others battered and bruised in the underground matches in Flinge, where life is always at stake.

'Now that he's in Centrolis with regulated rules and well-lit arenas, how could someone have possibly beaten him up?'
