Chapter 2008
"You.."
"You can''t see my sincerity, but would you like to touch it?" Morpheus teased.
Persephone blushed, unable to conceal the smile on her face.
She pushed him forcefully, and he pulled her into his arms.
Persephone was surprised to witness this side of him. After all, he was typically calm andposed...
"Okay, I''ll stop messing around," he said softly. "They have some amazing specialty dishes here. Let''s
eat, then I''ll go wherever you like for the rest of the afternoon. How''s that?"
She nodded and nced around after taking her seat, realizing it was a beautiful ce. Though small,
they weren''t stingy with the decoration—sophistication exuded from every corner.
She noticed a crystal bottle simr to the one she had seen in the pce on the cab...
"Where''s this ce, Morpheus?" She looked at him curiously. "Howe I never knew about it?"

Hearing that, he chuckled. She had only been in Southeast Aciatic for a short period, so it was natural
she didn''t know.
Moreover, the cafe wasn''t open to the public. They only epted regrs.
However, nobody hade since he left Southeast Aciatic.
"How did you find this ce?" Persephone searched on her phone. "I can''t find it on any tforms, and
they don''t seem to have a name^ Look, I set my location here, and there''s nothing on the map!"
"Do you like it?"
"I do!" she eximed and beamed. "I want to bring my friend here!"
"Oh..." He pretended to be serious. "Is your friend a guy?"
She gestured to hit him.
Morpheus smirked and held her hand softly. "I found this on an underrated website. Let me know if
you''d like to bring your friends. It''ll be my treat."
"How can I do that? I''m considered a quarter Southeast Aciatician. I should be the host! It should be my
treat!" "You silly goose."
There was an indescribablyplicated emotion in his eyes.
She imed that she was a quarter Southeast Aciatician.
Yet, she was clueless that he was a born and bred Southeast Aciatician.
Soon, the food was served. Each dish was exquisite, with a unique taste. However, that didn''t excite
Persephone. They tasted good, but...
They were simr to the dishes she had in the pce.
Morpheus spread some caviar on the toast and handed it to her. She nced at it—the pce had the
same caviar as well. It was strange. It was impossible that such a small ce would have food served
in the pce.
After some hesitation, Persephone looked at Morpheus and asked, "What exactly... is this ce?"
"What''s wrong?"
"Hmm. The food is good, and it''s mysterious."
He smirked. "Eat more if you like it. I''ll make a booking for you if you want toe again."
She stopped asking further and tried her best not to overthink it. After all, he knew nobody in this ce.
It was impossible that he could have owned a cafe out of nowhere.

As promised, Morpheus went everywhere she wanted that afternoon.
Southeast Aciatic had beautiful sceneries, with many ces to explore. There happened to be few
tourists at this time, allowing them to enjoy themselves to the fullest.
Persephone suggested going to the mountain in the southst.
Morpheus patted Persephone''s head as the sun was setting and the sky was turning dark. "It''ste. I
better send you home soon."
"No!" She hugged him. "I have a surprise for you."
"Surprise?"
Persephone grinned.
It was something she had prepared for him. As she pped her hands, colorful fireworks burst into the
night sky.
It was astonishing to see the beautiful sparks.
"I designed this!" Like a kid waiting forpliments, she looked at him. "Is it beautiful?"
He stared nkly at the sky.
The sparks reflected on his face. Like stray bullets whistling past his ears.
The noiseing from the fireworks was not romantic to him. It was the roar of the devil that took him
back to the bloody battlefield.
"Morpheus?" Persephone looked at him, whose face had turned pale. "What''s wrong, Morpheus?!"
