Donk District. The most famous wealthy neighborhood in Seiwa.
The white three-story detached villa gradually lit up in the night, its massive crystal chandelier casting warm light through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the carefully manicured garden.
Adeline didn't live with her family.
She had changed into a light blue silk slip dress, the lace trim at the chest unable to hide her impressive figure.
Adeline sat on the sofa, her legs tightly pressed together with her hands between them, her face covered with a layer of pink that looked ready to drip water.
"Say it again."
"Lady Adeline, I truly regret choosing Viloti now. I know I'm not worthy of you now, but could you give me a chance to make up for it?"
This kind of roleplay was performed dozens of times every night.
Today, saying Viloti's name must have sent this young lady straight into bliss.
Felyn was already very familiar with this kind of spiritual victory method.
He could judge from Adeline's expressions when to confess, when to regret, when to blame himself.
This kind of young lady was actually quite easy to understand.
Compared to his other clients, the difficulty didn't even rank.
It was just that repeating this same plot every day made him sick of it. Couldn't they change it up somehow?
And why did he always play these regretful roles? Honestly, the one who should regret most was himself—transmigrating here and going into debt before even enjoying the wealthy life.
"Lady Adeline, what would you like for dinner?"
After half an hour of passionate confession ended, Felyn rubbed his already numb legs.
Adeline combed her hair, obviously still savoring the scene from earlier.
Adeline wouldn't just pay Felyn to provide emotional value—that wasn't satisfying enough. She needed Felyn to revolve around her.
"Whatever."
"Understood."
Here it comes!
The question that most easily trips up virgins on dates!
"Whatever" wasn't really whatever—it required comprehensive analysis of her recent preferences, daily mood, outfit, weather conditions, and a series of other data before reaching a conclusion.
This couldn't stump Felyn. He had written a full 200,000-word "Adeline Analysis Report"!
Adeline closed her bedroom door and sank into the small sofa.
Thinking about how Felyn had called out Viloti's name earlier, she couldn't help but grin.
Though it was acting, it really felt great.
Tonight there was still a meeting, connecting with the student council of Saint Andros Academy where both Viloti and Felyn attended.
To enter the Royal Capital's academy, one needed not only to pass written exams but also hunt enough magical beasts to obtain the required number of magic crystals.
Ordinary students couldn't possibly obtain so many magic crystals without help from family guards.
To accommodate commoners, the two schools joined together to organize excellent but ordinary-background students to enter dungeons for hunting together.
When the time came, Adeline put away her expression and showed her usual gentle, confident appearance.
"Well then, I'll begin this meeting."
The communication seal activated, displaying the meeting participants.
The student councils from both sides exchanged for a long time, finalizing a series of details. The meeting went smoothly overall.
After polite farewells, the meeting ended. Most people left, with only a few girls who had good relationships with Adeline remaining to chat.
"Are you all going to Miss Viloti's celebration this weekend?"
"Yes! I really envy her, getting accepted into the Royal Capital academy already."
"I heard Viloti finally got rid of her simp today too."
Adeline played with the white fluffy pig on the table—a birthday gift from Felyn.
Ugly, but cute in its ugliness.
She had absolutely no interest in such gossip, even about Viloti.
She was just maintaining relationships with friends now, then would log off to enjoy the dinner Felyn prepared.
What would she eat tonight?
"Too many people like her. Which one are you talking about?"
"That famous simp from our school who was rumored to have been Viloti's fiancé before."
The speaker was Linda, the student council president from Saint Andros Academy where Felyn attended.
"With so many rumors, if each one were true, Viloti would be too busy getting married every day to do anything else, right?"
"This one should be true though. It's that person, after all. Three years ago..."
"The eldest son of the Sorester family?"
Sorester?
The white fluffy pig's head was suddenly squeezed hard.
"Felyn Sorester?"
"Right, that's him. Adeline, I'm surprised you still remember him."
Adeline's heart sank, her mind becoming confused, her eyes starting to lose focus.
I don't just remember him—I'm keeping him!
Wait, what's going on?
Why is the ceiling spinning?
Felyn is Viloti's simp?
Isn't he my hired simp?
"Felyn has always liked Viloti? When did it start?" Adeline asked tremblingly.
"You never knew? It's been a long time, at least half a year." Linda vividly described Felyn's past sincerity and the difficulties on his path to pursuing Viloti.
Adeline felt like a clown.
Thinking that Felyn might share her affairs as jokes with Viloti to please her, Adeline nearly fainted from lack of breath.
"But what a pity. There won't be such gossip anymore. Today Felyn said a complete goodbye to Viloti, and his tone was particularly miserable."
"Can you believe what a simp says?" other girls questioned.
"I think it's true. I feel like he's fallen for another girl."
"Are you telling the truth, Linda?"
Adeline suddenly stood up, holding the seal with both hands.
"Oh, you're still here? Usually you're not interested in these things. I think it's true—I saw him writing something in a notebook by himself yesterday. I accidentally glimpsed it."
"What was it?" Adeline hurriedly pressed.
"He wrote things like how he really started regretting it, how he could really fall in love with you, how he really won't love Viloti anymore, stuff like that. Then today he said goodbye to Viloti."
!
!!
Adeline's blue-gray pupils suddenly dilated.
If the white fluffy pig had a mouth, it would definitely be screaming under the intense squeezing.
Fallen for another woman.
Regret.
How he could really fall in love with you.
Won't love her anymore.
Wasn't this about me?
Adeline frantically picked up her water glass for a sip, not caring that her strap had slipped.
Three days ago she had told Felyn that the person who stole her pride was Viloti.
Today, Felyn broke off relations with Viloti.
Was this coincidence?
A thought suddenly surged into her heart and wouldn't leave.
He's fallen in love with me!
He broke off with Viloti for me!
I stole Viloti's loyal simp!
My pride is back!
"Lady Adeline, is the meeting over? Do you need some pre-dinner sweets?"
Felyn noticed the room had gone quiet and knocked on the door while carrying a small cake.
Poor Felyn didn't know what waves his "Adeline Analysis Report" had caused.
But the moment he pushed open the door, Felyn's keen professional instincts sounded an alarm.
Damn it!
Adeline lay sprawled on the bed, her rose tea-colored hair scattered across the white sheets.
She buried her face in the pillow, but he could still see her flushed cheeks.
Hearing the door open, Adeline slowly raised her head. Her blue-gray eyes held panic and shyness, her pale cheeks tinged with a faint blush, even her ear tips dyed pink.
"Who told you to come in?"
Adeline stiffly stood up, her expression very strange.
"I'm sorry, Lady Adeline."
Felyn lowered his head, looking at his toes.
"I wanted to see Lady Adeline so badly that my head got hot and I just came in."
"Wha...!"
I can actually spin this back—I'm a fucking genius!
Felyn didn't notice Adeline's face getting even redder.
"Felyn, sit down."
Felyn's hand holding the cup trembled slightly.
Adeline's tone was so gentle it was frightening.
What the hell was going on?
Felyn came to Adeline's side and sat down somewhat obediently.
"Do you like Viloti?"
"Of course not. Lady Adeline, I only like you."
Consistently superb acting.
"If someday you had to choose between her and me..."
"I wouldn't choose." Felyn grasped Adeline's hands and moved closer.
"In my heart, such a choice scenario would never appear. I chose wrong once in the past. Until I met you again, Lady Adeline, there won't be anyone else in my heart. You'll always be my one and only."
Felyn knew very clearly this wasn't a choice question at all.
Dealing with pure-hearted beautiful girls like Adeline, he had absolute confidence.
"Hic."
Adeline visibly reddened and even hiccupped.
