Zervanie felt like she was in a dream.
Felyn, whom she'd been desperately searching for three months, had suddenly returned to her side without warning.
He was still the same as before—listening to her words, fetching things for her.
It seemed like everything had returned.
A Felyn who looked similar, sounded similar, had the same name, and remembered the layout of her home—wasn't this the Felyn she'd been looking for?
He is Felyn! Absolutely! Definitely!
Zervanie frantically confirmed this in her heart.
He is my Felyn... right?
Zervanie stared intently at the eyes behind Felyn's mask.
There was still no love for her, no eager worship, no impatient anticipation to please her.
No, he's not my Felyn.
My Felyn could never look at me like this.
Zervanie began to doubt again.
Could he be some kind of replica of Felyn created by someone?
"Thank you."
Zervanie forced herself to maintain composure. Her outstretched hand deliberately touched Felyn's fingertips.
Even his body temperature seemed similar!
Though one could complain that all human body temperatures were the same, Zervanie seemed to have a very profound understanding of Felyn's body temperature.
"Miss Adeline, why don't we rest for a bit? I really want to chat with you about some gossip."
Zervanie turned to look at Adeline, showing a smile like she was begging to be spoiled.
"Ah, working for so long has made me a bit tired."
Adeline raised her wrist to check her watch and couldn't help but draw in a breath.
She didn't want to gossip with Zervanie. What was good about gossip? These things would only waste her time.
Adeline glanced at Felyn standing to the side with her peripheral vision. She was hoping to finish quickly so she'd have time to take Felyn on a date for a candlelit dinner.
But since Zervanie had spoken up, Adeline couldn't say much.
"A friend of mine has been troubled recently. I just wanted to ask Miss Adeline's opinion."
Zervanie put her feet on the sofa, hugging her knees with both hands.
Felyn knew very well this was her posture when she intended to chat about gossip.
"My friend is also a songstress like me. By chance, one of her fans became her assistant, and my friend would make some small willful requests of him."
Some small willful requests?
Felyn didn't think any of those counted as "small willful" requests.
"The person my friend found would willingly give everything for her, able to manage everything for her. After all, being with one's idol, no matter what my friend did, that person would tolerate her without limits."
Felyn coughed twice, unable to hold back. I didn't willingly give everything for you!
Wasn't this what the contract stipulated?
I was only willing to give everything for money.
"Under that person's sincerity, my friend was moved. She even decided to marry that person."
Adeline showed a patient listening expression.
But her heart was constantly paying attention to the time.
My candlelit dinner!
My date!
"I thought the two of them would continue supporting each other like this forever, but after my friend proposed marriage, her assistant disappeared and never contacted her again."
At this point, Adeline finally showed some reaction.
Because she thought of Felyn.
The situation Zervanie described seemed similar to her situation with Felyn.
She and Felyn also had good feelings for each other, and she could feel that Felyn had different emotions toward her.
What if one day Felyn also suddenly disappeared from her side?
Adeline didn't dare think about it, nor did she want to think about it.
Felyn will stay by my side. He'll always be by my side.
Adeline kept comforting herself. She looked up at Felyn, her eyes misting over.
Also looking at Felyn was Zervanie.
She wanted to see if he would have any reaction—like pain, like regret.
"Don't you think it's too much? He suddenly disappeared, making my friend very uncomfortable. She's even been searching for his whereabouts."
"Why would he suddenly disappear?" Adeline pressed.
"I'm not too clear either."
Because your contract expired!
Felyn really didn't know what was going on in these clients' heads anymore.
He was clearly performing according to everything stipulated in the contract, but as he performed, they would forget about the contract.
"Could it be that the fan didn't actually like your friend?"
Adeline discovered this problem. Maybe it was she... maybe it was her friend being wishful thinking, being presumptuous.
Because Adeline knew that adolescent boys and girls often developed such mistaken perceptions.
"Absolutely impossible."
Zervanie clenched her hands, denying Adeline's thought.
"He could tolerate me... no, my friend without limits. It must be because of love. It has to be."
Felyn looked at Zervanie in front of him. If he weren't worried about her pestering him later, he really wanted to explode at her.
How was it because of love?!
Being tortured by you every day and still having to love you—did you really think I, Felyn, was a masochist?
"My friend told me yesterday that if she could see that person again, she would still be willing to marry him. She won't hold him accountable for what happened before—my friend has forgiven him. No matter what the reason, my friend is willing to be with him for life."
Zervanie looked up at Felyn, this time her gaze completely unguarded.
Come on, Felyn, return to my side.
You can cry with emotion, you can emotionally explain the reason for leaving me.
I will forgive you.
You can still become my fiancé.
But Zervanie's expression gradually stiffened as time passed.
Felyn didn't kneel down and cry. He just stood there without any reaction.
Could it be...
Zervanie suddenly thought of something.
Could Felyn have suddenly gone deaf?
Because he couldn't hear what she was saying, that's why he had no reaction?
Just as Zervanie was thinking this, Felyn finally began to move.
He slowly walked toward Zervanie, making her eyes brighter and brighter.
Zervanie even reached out her hand, wanting to hug Felyn.
But Felyn merely passed by her and came to Adeline's side.
Felyn glanced sideways at Zervanie's outstretched hand, thinking: what's wrong with this woman?
You're forgiving me? Are you still not fully awake?
"Adeline, it's getting late. Do you think..."
"Indeed, it's already this time."
Adeline looked at the watch on her wrist—it was already past eight o'clock.
She had to speed up, or the candlelit dinner with Felyn would be completely ruined.
"Miss Zervanie, let's continue with the celebration arrangements from earlier."
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Zervanie's hand froze in the air. These two people had actually ignored her, making her look somewhat awkward.
Was my gossip really that unattractive?
She tried her best to hide her inner unwillingness.
Why didn't Felyn react!
Was he really Felyn?
If only she could remove his mask, then she could finally confirm who he really was.
If only she could get Adeline to leave, then she could be alone with Felyn.
Zervanie's fingers unconsciously traced the characters "Felyn" on the sofa, the obsession in her eyes becoming more and more obvious.
Just five minutes later.
Today's luck was on Zervanie's side.
Zervanie thanked the gods in her heart, because Adeline's communication device rang.
That vibration made both people present tense up.
One with excitement, one with fear.
Adeline picked up the device and saw her father's name.
"Sorry, Miss Zervanie, may I excuse myself for a moment?"
"No problem, go ahead."
Zervanie waved her hand, excitement hidden in her eyes.
The hunter had finally waited for the moment when the prey fell into the trap.
