Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1933

Morpheus held Persephone's small hand tightly all the way. The evening breeze carried a hint of moisture, shrouding her mind like a mist.

Upon returning home, Morpheus dove straight into the kitchen.

Persephone peeked, catching sight of his broad back and busy demeanor. A wave of complexity washed over her. She had cooled down by now, and the sequence of events threaded together like beads in her mind.

Someone aimed to harm her, plotting her demise, with even those privy to her whereabouts beforehand tampering with the ship...

And how could this person, unless intimately familiar with her, know so much?

Persephone's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, a fog clouded her vision, making it hard to discern her surroundings.

"Here, try this." Morpheus emerged from the kitchen in no time, presenting a small bowl of rose jelly.

The jelly, sprinkled with raisins and crushed peanuts, revealed beautiful rose petals beneath its crystal-clear surface. She was surprised, meeting his gaze.

"I haven't made this much. Still getting the hang of it," he said softly. "The jelly should have chilled longer. It would've been even tastier with condensed milk, but unfortunately, we don't have any at home."

Persephone sat motionless on the couch.

Thinking she might be frightened, Morpheus sat beside her and gently encircled her shoulders. His presence always brought her comfort, but she felt an impulse to push him away this time as she recalled her suspicions earlier.

"If you don't feel like eating, you can rest. I'll put everything in the fridge."

"Morpheus..." She bit her lip, intending to voice her doubts, but the words morphed at the tip of her tongue. "Do you want me to stay?"

Morpheus was startled, not comprehending where her words came from. He softly caressed her hair. "I only hope you'll be okay."
