Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1997

Rebecca grabbed Morpheus' hand.

He abruptly pushed her away, causing her to stumble and almost fall. He felt a twinge of guilt but didn't reach out to help her up.

She looked at him, her gaze filled with disappointment.

"Sorry, I... " He explained softly, "I don't like people touching me."

"But Ms. Hamerton can, right?" she asked.

Morpheus' heart clenched.

In that instant, his mind was filled with Sephy.

"Morpheus, you still can't let her go, can you?"

He furrowed my brow. Her question seemed intrusive. "Is this something a psychologist should ask?"

"It's a friend asking," Rebecca said, looking down. "I thought after all this time, you'd consider me a friend."

"Rebecca..." He sighed, "There's no issue of letting go between me and her."

"What do you mean?"

"We made a promise."

"Does that promise still count?" Rebecca's emotions grew intense. "Do you really think she'll come back?"

"What are you saying?"

Morpheus was taken aback, and his mind suddenly went blank.

"I'm part of the Hamerton Group's medical team. When it comes to Hamerton's affairs, I might know more than you," Rebecca said, looking at him. "Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton won't let Ms. Hamerton come back! She's not just studying in Southeast Aciatic, but she's also going to work there, becoming the Southeast Aciatic royalty's exclusive designer.

"You know that the Irwins in Southeast Aciatic are Ms. Hamerton's grandmother's family. And they hold significant influence in the royal court!"

Morpheus' heart felt like it had been struck hard, an inexplicable pain spreading from his chest to his limbs.

He thought, 'Southeast Aciatic is a place I never want to come in touch with in my life, a place I can never return to.

'If Sephy doesn't come back…'
