At present, Persephone was his dream.
Morpheus turned to look at Persephone, desperately suppressing the urge to hug her
tightly, and simply said, "My dream is the same as theirs."
He glanced at the boxers. "To become a world champion."
"You'll definitely achieve it!" Persephone smiled. "So, you've already made your decision,
right?"
Morpheus slightly furrowed his brow.
"What decision do you think I've made?"
"On the count of three, let's say it together." Persephone held his hand. "One, two,
three..."
"Accept it!"
In the spacious training hall, only Persephone's voice echoed.
Morpheus didn't say anything, but this answer perfectly matched his feelings.

"Do you know the condition for me accepting this place?"
"Do I need to ask?" She appeared nonchalant. "My old man personally stepped in, so it
must be a trade using me!"
Morpheus was slightly taken aback.
"I know everything." She lowered her head, her voice becoming softer. She could even
impersonate Zuko's tone. "Mr. Orton, you saved my daughter. Both her mother and I will
be grateful to you for life.
"This gym is a small token. Please accept it. You can fulfill your dream here, but my
daughter also has her dreams to pursue."
Persephone took a deep breath, her gaze filled with determination. "Morpheus, actually,
we don't meet the conditions to be together right now."
Morpheus chuckled, nodding, but he wanted her to continue.
"I need to further my studies abroad, and you need to focus on building your career here.
"When we've both established ourselves, nothing will stop us from being together.
"My grandmother said true compatibility isn't between two wealthy families, but between
experiences, outlooks, future plans, and mutual acceptance."
"You're absolutely right." Morpheus smiled. "Anything else?"
"Hmm..." Persephone leaned on his shoulder. "Love is an embellishment in life, but not
everything." Morpheus caressed her head, his voice deep. "You've grown up."
Her words just now echoed his thoughts perfectly.
Since Zuko had spoken, if he kept entangling with Persephone, it would only make her
parents more averse to him. It was better to take this opportunity to gather enough capital
to establish himself in Centrolis.
Maybe then they would regard him differently and feel more assured about entrusting
their daughter to him.

ultimately chosen for his own benefit. Unexpectedly, she was stronger and more rational
than he imagined.
"Morpheus, will you wait for me to return?"
"Silly goose." He pinched her nose. "What did you say just now? Say it again."
"Hmm? I said, will you wait for me to return?"
"The sentence before that."
"Love is an embellishment in life, but not everything," she earnestly repeated.
"Yes." Morpheus looked at her, his gaze filled with indulgence. He knew she was God's gift
from the first day he met her.
"Love isn't everything." His voice was husky as he leaned down to whisper in her ear, "But,
Sephy, you're my everything."
Persephone's heart pounded, unable to react when his warm lips pressed against hers.
She felt a whirlwind of emotions—to push him away shyly, yet reluctant to let go of this
feeling...
His kiss was tender and lingering, leaving her intoxicated.
