Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

"Morpheus, why do you always say sorry to me?" Persephone's voice was soft,
but every time he apologized, she felt uneasy. "I don't like hearing you say sorry.
You surely know what I'd rather hear.”

"Yeah, I know." After a brief silence, Morpheus gently uttered three words, "I love
you."

Persephone's heart seemed to skip a beat.

"From now on, I'll replace "sorry with 'l love you’. Do you like hearing that?"
"Morpheus..."

She wasn't prepared at all. Morpheus always launched a "sudden attack" when
she least expected it.

Persephone laughed, but there was a tinge of soreness in her heart.

"I want to see you right away," Morpheus whispered. "I can't just say these three
words over the phone. I want to say them to you in person until you're tired of
hearing them."

But she would never tire of hearing them—she wanted to hear them for a lifetime.
"Unfortunately, that won't work now," Persephone said softly. "I have classes this
morning. Also, the butler told me that Rebecca is coming today."

"What?" Morpheus felt a buzz in his ears. "You mean... Who's coming?"
"Rebecca Jacox," Persephone replied casually. "She used to be part of the
Hamerton Group's medical team, but for some reason, she left. However, my
butler knows her, and since my previous attendant left and I'm short-handed, the
butler strongly recommended her."

Morpheus furrowed his brow, a sense of foreboding creeping in.

"In fact, I don't really know her." Persephone smiled. "But she used to work for
the Hamertons, so she's quite familiar.”

"Okay, got it." Morpheus’ voice was solemn. "You focus on your things. I'll handle
the rest."

"What?" His tone was odd, leaving Persephone puzzled. "Handle the rest... What
do you mean?"

"Literal meaning." Morpheus chuckled. "Apart from studying, you don't have to
worry about anything else. I'll take care of everything. I won't let anyone harm
you."

"Morpheus..."

"Go to your class now," he said softly, "Call me after class."

Persephone agreed with a simple acknowledgment.

After hanging up, Morpheus’ gaze suddenly became as sharp and alert as a
leopard's. He immediately contacted someone in Centrolis to inquire about
Rebecca. He had his assistant introduce work to Rebecca previously, but she
resigned after two days. Now, she had arrived in Southeast Aciatic and was close
to Persephone.

Morpheus' assistant informed him, "Mr. Orton, the attendant by Ms. Hamerton's
side, whom Rebecca managed to bribe, has been dismissed. However, we
overlooked a crucial detail... Ms. Hamerton's butler surprisingly has some
connection with Rebecca.”

Morpheus remained silent.

Rebecca had been working for the Hamertons for a few years and, with her
sharp mind, had reasonably developed some connections. Yet, her ability to get
close to people around Persephone revealed that her scheming was not to be
underestimated. She required more caution than he had initially thought.

The assistant asked, "Should we secretly..."

"No need," Morpheus replied in a low voice. "I can handle matters in Southeast
Aciatic. Keep an eye on the Hamertons. If anything happens, contact me
immediately!"

Rebecca had spent a few days with Persephone. She couldn't come and go from
the palace at will; instead, she had to accompany Persephone wherever she
went.

Despite this restriction, Rebecca had a decent grasp of the palace surroundings.
It was evident to Rebecca that Persephone was not on guard against her.
Persephone, a wealthy young woman with a straightforward mindset, had been
overly sheltered since childhood and lacked the ability to be cautious about
others.

In Persephone's presence, Rebecca exhibited loyalty and obedience.
