Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1925

Seamus was utterly shocked.

Morpheus glanced at him with a slight triumphant smirk.

"Flinge is hot and humid," he casually remarked. "Having some cold beer relieves fatigue."

Seamus blinked, then watched as Persephone poured beer into a glass and drank it like it was a regular beverage.

Morpheus chuckled, almost talking to himself, yet with a calculated intent. "Sephy, you really like this, right?"

Persephone agreed cheerily, "Yeah!

"Seamus, you should try it too." She offered him a can. "I've never had this kind of drink before, but it's surprisingly good!"

Seamus smiled and shook his head. As a bodyguard, he needed to remain alert at all times.

"Sephy, perhaps… you should take it easy," he advised.

"It's fine!"

"After all, we're in someone else's home," Seamus emphasized the words "someone else's".

"Are you worried that she might get drunk and something could happen?" Morpheus cut in directly with a faint smile. "She's been staying with me all this while and hasn't treated me like an outsider. I haven't treated her like a guest either.

He pushed a plate of stir-fried beef toward Persephone. "Besides, she seems to really enjoy the dishes I make!"

Seamus' expression soured, and Persephone sensed something amiss about Morpheus beside her. He was smiling, but the darkness in his gaze grew deeper. He had even intentionally slid his chair closer to her, subtly moving it.

"Ms. Hamerton!" Seamus was slightly anxious.

"What's the matter?"

"You..." There were many things Seamus wanted to say but couldn't voice.

He was the son of the head steward of the Hamertons and had grown up with Persephone. To him, she was an untouchable moonlight, an unattainable dream. He was willing to sacrifice everything to protect her, like a knight by the princess' side, only to watch a true prince come and take her into happiness.

However, that prince could never be the beast smoking on the balcony!

Seamus took a deep breath, struggling to speak. "He… hasn't done anything to you, has he?"

Persephone looked at him for a while, furrowing her brow. "Of course not!"
