Adeline stood in the corner at this moment, bound by invisible ropes called noble etiquette and guilt, powerlessly watching Felyn and Viloti grow closer while she could do nothing.
Starting at six tonight was Felyn's service time for her.
To enjoy a complete and undisturbed evening, Adeline had deliberately arrived an hour and a half early, planning to meet Linda at 4:30 to handle urgent matters.
But when passing by Felyn's classroom, she couldn't move on.
The empty classroom had only Felyn and Viloti. Adeline had unconsciously walked in, but due to etiquette, it wasn't appropriate to interrupt them midway.
"Felyn, here's some water."
Viloti glanced at Adeline standing in the corner while handing Felyn a cup.
Facing Adeline's sudden intrusion, the three of them didn't break into a huge fight. There was no melodramatic scene of "He loves me!" "Clearly he loves me more!"
After simply greeting Adeline, Felyn continued studying with his head down.
He couldn't explain to Adeline, nor could he explain to Viloti.
If he said in front of Adeline that this was currently not a service time and asked her to leave, then Viloti might learn what line of work he was in. Her clever brain would quickly wonder if Felyn pursuing her was also part of his contractual services.
He couldn't let Viloti know about the contract content, nor could he let her know about his profession.
So Felyn couldn't be bothered to explain.
Let it all burn down. Let Adeline think whatever she wanted.
At worst, she'd drag him back to her villa later for thorough "discipline"—better than facing a Viloti knowing the truth.
The contract was ending soon anyway, and he'd already told her he wouldn't renew.
Being with another girl during his service period might look bad to his client, but it wasn't a matter of principle.
As for why Viloti would stay by his side—this girl was way too clever.
Someone had secretly asked Viloti if she'd been with Felyn last night.
Viloti neither confirmed nor denied it, just blushed.
That was a blush she'd deliberately created by holding her breath.
Now the rumors were becoming more real, and Felyn was powerless to refute them.
To avoid inciting public anger, Felyn stopped managing Viloti's behavior.
Felyn sighed inwardly.
I used to think I was an emotional master who could easily handle various client young ladies.
In the end, I can't do anything.
"Felyn, here's some paper."
"Felyn, here's a pen."
"Felyn, here's a notebook."
Adeline watched as Viloti seemed like a parasite in Felyn's stomach, knowing exactly what Felyn needed.
She felt a deep sense of crisis.
If this continued, wouldn't Felyn end up running away with Viloti?
This young lady also sat down and wrote something in her notebook.
[Make Felyn stare into my eyes for 3 minutes]
[Make Felyn massage my shoulders for 5 minutes]
[Make Felyn confess to me for 10 minutes]
She was writing a plan list of what Felyn would do during the upcoming service period.
These were all things she'd learned from the book "50 Ways to Win Your Man" last night.
Although Linda, who recommended this book, had never actually won any man with it, Adeline, who clearly lacked romantic knowledge, could only study it seriously.
While Viloti handed things to Felyn, Adeline vigorously wrote her plan list in her notebook.
Felyn had no idea what he would face later.
"Felyn, are you hungry? Here's some candy," Viloti said.
[Make Felyn feed me food] Adeline wrote.
"Felyn, let me massage your hands."
[Make Felyn massage my legs!]
"Felyn, you can play with my feet."
Damn!
Adeline couldn't take it anymore.
Felyn couldn't take it anymore either.
Linda and Sofia, who had been secretly watching from outside, couldn't take it anymore!
Viloti's one sentence made everyone present collapse.
Adeline stared intensely at Felyn. If Viloti really did that, then she, then she, then she could do nothing!
She could only watch tearfully as her Felyn touched another girl's feet!
Sofia and Linda outside the wall saw Adeline's expression of wanting to cry, and they sincerely prayed for her in their hearts.
Love really makes people humble.
[Make Felyn lick for 100 minutes!]
Unable to do anything else, Adeline could only write down what she'd make Felyn do later in her notebook.
Time finally reached six o'clock.
Adeline hadn't noticed she'd already written three full pages.
Finally, it's my turn!
"Viloti, I need to go to the student council office with Lady Adeline later. I'm Lady Adeline's volunteer assistant."
Felyn packed his school bag and spoke to Viloti.
"Miss Viloti can come too. In fact, if Miss Viloti could come, that would be wonderful. As the student council president of Lanchester Academy, I'd also like to understand the thoughts of Saint Andros Academy students."
You must come, Viloti!
You must worry about what I'll do to Felyn and follow us out of concern!
Because I really will do something to Felyn!
After making me watch for so long, now you can experience my pain too.
Viloti was still worried about whether Adeline would stop her, but unexpectedly, Adeline was so magnanimous.
It seemed she should be nicer to this young lady in the future.
But Felyn didn't seem to have invited her.
Viloti looked up to ask for Felyn's opinion, but Felyn wasn't looking at her.
Her legs swayed slightly—she felt somewhat unwilling.
"Then I'll go home first today. See you tomorrow. Miss Adeline, see you another day."
If Felyn doesn't want me to go, then I won't go.
Viloti was trying hard to learn how to control her clinginess to a level that wouldn't make Felyn angry.
"Miss Viloti, you're not coming?"
Adeline hadn't noticed that when Viloti said "see you tomorrow" to Felyn, she meant she would meet like this tomorrow as well.
While Adeline just wanted to get some good revenge on Viloti.
"Sorry, Lady Adeline, I have some matters at home. I'll go back first."
She actually just left like that.
Could it be that she thinks I can't shake her position in Felyn's heart at all?
Damn it, just because she kissed Felyn once, she shouldn't be so arrogant.
Just wait and see. I seriously studied "50 Ways to Win Your Man"—now I'm a romance expert.
Felyn already likes me. With just a little effort from me, tomorrow there won't be any trace of you in his eyes!
—
Saint Andros Student Council Office.
Linda and the student council members had all gone to see Zervanie's performance.
Only Adeline and Felyn remained in the office.
Heaven is helping me!
Tonight I'll definitely capture Felyn!
Adeline looked at the densely written plan list in her notebook and bit her lip.
Did I write these?
Why are they all so bold?
Watching time tick by, Adeline had to hurry up.
Let's pick the simplest thing to do first.
[Stare into each other's eyes for 3 minutes]
Just looking at each other—this was the simplest.
But Felyn would definitely look into her eyes and fall into adoration for her.
Though simple, it was very powerful.
"Felyn, come here."
Adeline's voice was incredibly gentle, making Felyn somewhat apprehensive.
She had just seen her enemy Viloti being attentive to him.
Felyn swallowed hard.
Come on, beat me or scold me—I'll endure it all.
There were only a few weeks left until freedom anyway.
Felyn sat properly in front of Adeline, showing an innocent smile.
"Lady Adeline, what shall we do tonight?"
I'm smiling so innocently—when you hit me later, can you be gentle?
Felyn watched Adeline take several deep breaths, then she said something completely opposite to his expectations.
"Look into my eyes. Just like this, don't move."
"Hmm? Of course, no problem."
Felyn saw his own reflection appear in those blue-gray pupils.
Adeline's eyes were very beautiful, like deep gemstones.
Speaking of gemstones, if there were gems as beautiful as Adeline's eyes, how much would they sell for?
Probably tens of millions of crowns.
If only he could have that much money—buy an estate, buy maids, and retire directly.
The scene Adeline had envisioned of Felyn falling in love while looking into her eyes didn't happen. Felyn was just thinking random thoughts.
But...
Felyn's eyes were so beautiful.
This was Adeline's first time having such close contact with the opposite sex, and her first time staring at Felyn for so long.
Felyn...
She repeatedly said Felyn's name in her heart.
These eyes made her not care so much about past failures.
These eyes had accompanied her through countless nights.
These eyes allowed her to feel joy and happiness.
Adeline fell into memories, remembering when Felyn looked at her, the adoration and determination flowing from his gaze.
Including now.
Felyn must be thinking about me now, just like I'm thinking about the sweet memories that belonged to both of us.
Adeline didn't notice her breathing quickening as she and Felyn drew closer and closer.
Their breaths intertwined, sparking love flames that only Adeline could see.
