Chapter 1584


    Persephone looked at that man shyly. She had many questions shing through her mind at the


    moment.

    ‘Mommy said I should have good manners. Should I call him “sir” now?


    ‘No, he looks much older than my uncle! So should I call him “mister”?


    ‘But I’ve smudged my whole ice cream on his jacket. Maybe I should say sorry first?’


    The ice cream was vani-vored, and she had taken only a few licks.


    The man spoke first. “Little girl, you’re Persephone, right?” His voice was deep, like a cello. She was


    shocked.


    He smiled mysteriously and nced at his jacket, then heard a man and a woman screaming, “Sephy!


    Are you okay?”


    Nervously, Toph and Arya rushed over. They checked if she was hurt, then noticed the ice cream on


    the man’s ck jacket.


    “We’re sorry, sir!” Toph apologized, nodding. “Your jacket is dirty now. How about we exchange phone


    numbers? I’ll have someone send you a new one after I buy it!”


    The man shook his head. His eyes were enigmatic, impossible to read.


    Toph studied him closely. Despite being middle-aged, he had amanding presence and charisma.


    He wasn’t an ordinary man. There was a hint of mncholy in his expression, making him appear


    ruggedly handsome.


    After years of being an artist, drawing attractive young men in hisics, this middle-aged man before


    him was someone he had secretly wanted to draw but never dared to.


    However, the charming gentleman seemed to be focused on Persephone.


    “Am I correct?” he asked.


    Persephone pouted and quickly thought. It seemed Toph didn’t know this man, but how had he known


    her name instantly? Lina had told her not to talk to strangers and stay cautious around people.


    Thus, she raised her chin and said firmly, “No!”


    Her childish voice made the man chuckle.


    Toph and Arya were perplexed. “What’s going on, Sephy?”


    “Nothing.” The man waved and ced his hands behind his back. He then looked at Toph. “I assume


    this isn’t your child? You don’t seem… married.”


    “What are you getting at?” he asked.


    At that moment, Sephy tugged on Toph’s clothing. “Let’s go, uncle!”


    Toph couldn’t figure it out, but Arya was on alert. She gently picked up Persephone and signaled Toph


    to leave.


    “Does she enjoy this theme park?” the man suddenly asked.


    Arya and Toph were at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.


    The man smiled and said, “I can tell that not only the kid enjoys it, but you both do too, right?”


    “Sir, may we ask—”


    “This ce will look very different after today,” he imed.


    After saying that, the man turned and walked away.


    Arya, Toph, and Persephone, in Arya’s arms, watched him go in confusion.


    When they got home that evening, Persephone went to bed immediately without even showering.


    Lina stayed in the room with her while Zuko left the room and saw his brother ying games in the


    living room.
