Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 2007

"Morpheus!" Persephone exclaimed. She couldn't tear her eyes away from the screen. "Where are you right now? I'll pick you up?"

"No need." He managed a forced smile. "It's late. It's not safe for you to be out. Let's—"

"It's safe, very safe!"

As she spoke, she swiftly changed her clothes.

After emerging from the changing room, she picked up her phone and grinned at him. "Morpheus, I—"

He gently interrupted, "Sephy, you really don't have to pick me up. I have a place to stay."

"But you're not familiar with Southeast Aciatic!"

"It's alright." He smiled. "Be a good girl and go to bed. We'll meet tomorrow."

"But…"

Persephone was visibly upset as she wanted to see him right now.

Didn't he feel the same? Which couple could wait to see their partner in the same city after being apart for so long?

"Okay." Resigned, she acknowledged his character. Nobody could change his mind once he decided on something. "Promise me that we will meet tomorrow."

"I promise."

He smiled gently and hung up.

He wasn't feeling too well, either, as his physical symptoms were worsening.

Taking a deep breath, he felt the distinctive heat and dampness of the air in Southeast Aciatic.

Soon, he reached the hotel he had booked in the suburbs, far from the palace.

The distance helped him calm down.

As usual, he experienced nightmares throughout the night. His father appeared on the bloody battlefield once again.

This time, his father didn't scoff or mock him. He just stared, conveying with dim, cold eyes that they now belonged to different worlds.
