Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 2000

"Mm-hmm, I remember." Morpheus chuckled. "Sephy..."

"Do you know how much I miss you?" Persephone lowered her head, her voice gradually fading. "I really want to see you."

"I'm sorry." He felt full of guilt.

"You don't have to apologize." She smiled. "I'm already happy that you video-called me today. By the way, I've had too many design projects recently. I have dark circles now. It's quite ugly, isn't it?"

Morpheus shook his head with a smile.

"Also, you have no idea how strict my teacher is!" The little princess complained, "I made a minor mistake in a small part of the design, and he rejected the whole thing! I spent a month on those sketches... Now, I have to start over from scratch!

"There's also this jerk in my group who never does any work, but when it's time to submit, she wants to copy others... Hmph! I won't let her see mine even if she's some prince's daughter!"

Persephone pouted. "Do I look ugly with glasses? I would have put on some makeup if I knew you were going to video call!

"Hey, why did you suddenly call? I was hesitating. If I picked up, you'd see this ugly mess. If I didn't pick up... I don't know when you'd call next time. I didn't want to miss this chance..."

Morpheus' heart twisted sharply.

"Silly goose," he croaked. "You look beautiful no matter what!"

Persephone was pleased but still said, "That's how you see it now. You won't think the same in the future."

"In my eyes, you'll always be beautiful."

"Men mean it when they say they love you." Persephone laughed. "And when they fall out of love, that's real too!"

"Sephy!" Morpheus turned serious.

Persephone paused, knowing he wasn't one to joke about something like that. He was a serious person. Even when joking around, he didn't like saying such things.

"Okay, okay, my bad," Persephone teased, saluting him with her hand near her head. "Is this enough of an apology for you?"
