Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Chapter 1916

"Is there something you'd like to tell me?" Morpheus asked.

"Umm..." Persephone pursed her lips. "Do you think I was being unreasonable at the store?"

"What?"

"The brand is known for its quality. Basically, nobody would get a refund," she said softly. "As soon as the manager

finds out that someone requested a refund, the shop assistant will be questioned and might be fired."

"What? You can't bear for that to happen to her?"

"No." She looked into his eyes. All the words were stuck in her throat—she had no idea how to say it.

It was not that she couldn't bear to do it—she cared about what he thought.

She was worried he might think she was being stubborn and stirring trouble.

She was worried she might become an unreasonable and self-centered girl to him.

Even she was shocked when that thought came up. Why did she care about that so much?

"That's how the world is." Morpheus' voice was deep. "If we don't bully anyone, we can't just take it blindly when

we're bullied. Is it fair if you don't fight back when they're punching your face?"

He stared at her when he spoke. There was a smirk on his chiseled face.

"So. you supported what I did?"

"What else?"

They locked eyes and smiled.

The smile sent a wave to his heart, breaking his tough barrier.

Although Persephone bought nothing that night, she felt happy.

After getting home, she washed up and fell asleep on the couch.

Just then, Morpheus happened to bring the blanket and pillow from the room.

He wanted to let her sleep in the bedroom since she had been sleeping on the couch for many days. He had

cleaned yesterday, so he was going to let her sleep there today.

When he saw her sleeping soundly on the couch, he felt exasperated. He walked to her and watched her sleeping

quietly.

Time seemed to have stopped, and the air around seemed to have turned soft as well.

His heart seemed to be blooming.

Morpheus couldn't help but stretch his hand to brush her messy hair. However, he hesitated as his hand hung in the

air and slowly retracted it.

Could it be that... he hoped for more between them? How could anything happen to them?!

Persephone would go back to her world sooner or later. Her world must be beautiful, unlike his, facing the boxing

ring, blood, and injuries every day.
