NTR (cuckolding)—in this case, Adelina enjoys watching Felyn get close with other girls right in front of her. She derives a twisted pleasure from the feeling of betrayal.
To test this suspicion brewing in his heart, Felyn scooted a little closer to Linda.
Sure enough, intense emotions flared up in Adelina’s gaze.
Then, when he moved away again, Adelina’s expression gradually returned to normal.
For the sake of scientific rigor, Felyn repeated the experiment. He found that whenever he moved closer to Linda, Adelina’s emotions would surge.
Known facts: Adelina asked Linda to get close to him.
Also known: Adelina’s emotions would inexplicably become excited whenever she saw him and Linda getting close.
Thus, Felyn concluded—the young lady really likes NTR.
Wait a minute!
I need to calm down!
What if, during the contract period, she demands something way over the line? What am I supposed to do then?
"Sorry, I need to use the restroom for a moment."
Felyn’s mind was a mess. He simply couldn’t believe that this seemingly gentle young lady actually had such a twisted fetish.
Meanwhile, Linda was holding her face in her hands, brimming with happiness.
That handsome guy kept trying to get close to me just now. That means it, right? It must mean it!
"Adelina, I think your friend really likes me! Could he have fallen for me?"
Adelina sat stiffly on the sofa, like a lifeless doll. She spread her hands helplessly.
She desperately wanted to shut Linda’s mouth.
Every time she saw the distance between Felyn and Linda shrink to less than 50 centimeters, intense emotions would start to rise uncontrollably inside her.
She had to use all her strength just to suppress the urge to separate them.
Why on earth did I insist on telling Linda to approach Felyn!?
Adelina was regretting it now. Deeply regretting it.
And Felyn too—if he likes me, he should just like me properly! Why get so close to that woman!?
"Adelina, he’s been gone so long. Do you think he’s getting ready to confess to me?"
Linda was immersed in her own imaginary world, completely unaware of the murderous glare Adelina was shooting her.
"I should probably go find him," Linda said, impatient, bouncing off toward the restroom.
Adelina reached for her glass, but her trembling hand spilled her drink.
Confession? Felyn and Linda? What a joke!
Impossible. Felyn only loves me.
Adelina tried to comfort herself, turning her gaze to the stage, attempting to distract herself with the singing idol.
"It's fine, I have to believe in Felyn."
Ten seconds later.
Adelina bounced off the sofa. She couldn’t hold back anymore and followed behind Linda.
She hadn’t gone far when she heard Linda’s grating voice.
"What's this supposed to mean? A confession?"
Confession?????
Adelina’s pupils dilated sharply, her hands clenched tightly over her chest.
Felyn confessed to Linda?
"...Yeah, it's a confession."
Adelina felt the sky fall down on her. If not for leaning against the wall, her knees would’ve buckled.
Why does it hurt so much to hear Felyn confess to someone else?
Why does it feel so unbearable to see him with someone else?
Adelina didn’t even have the strength to figure out why she was feeling this way—everything just went black before her eyes.
"Does Adelina know?"
Trying to date behind my back!?
Adelina struggled to stand up straight, preparing to rush in and demand an explanation.
"Lady Adelina knows how I feel about her, but she’s very kind. Even though she rejected me, she never hated me."
Wait, my feelings?
"Lady Adelina is so kind; she always cares about everyone's feelings. When she's around, no one ever feels left out."
"Even though she acts all composed, she's actually very competitive. She gets fired up over the smallest things—and that’s exactly what makes her so adorable."
"And Adelina is the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. She has a great figure, a beautiful voice, and comes from an excellent family."
After saying all that, Felyn glanced subtly toward the corner behind Linda.
The rose-tea-colored hair peeking out from behind the wall was curled up tight, and the strands seemed to have turned even redder.
Earlier, Felyn had gone to the restroom just to splash some water on his face, but Linda had followed him.
He hadn’t wanted to continue playing along with Adelina’s twisted games and had planned to firmly reject Linda.
Two people? That would cost extra!
Just as he was about to reject Linda, he spotted that distinctive rose-tea-colored hair.
She was eavesdropping? How twisted can you get?
Thinking quickly, Felyn decided to use this chance to make his true feelings clear.
"My heart already belongs to Adelina. I can't accept anyone else. I’m sorry, Miss Linda."
Such a blatant hint—surely she would understand?
Adelina heard it, but completely misunderstood it.
Their completely opposite thought processes distorted every word exchanged.
Hearing Felyn’s passionate confession, Adelina’s eyes grew wet. Leaning against the wall, she clutched her hands between her thighs and breathed out hot, love-filled airs.
She could feel Felyn’s passion. Her body was starting to heat up.
He really loves me so much!
"Miss Linda, I hope you can keep my feelings for Adelina a secret. I don't want to cause her any trouble."
Linda slowly nodded, pouting as she trudged back to her seat. Even the silly hair sticking up from her head drooped—she looked utterly crushed.
"Linda, what’s wrong? Things not going well?"
A few minutes ago, Adelina had looked ready to stab someone, but now she wore the gentle smile of an older sister. She put her arm around Linda’s shoulder, thinking how cute Linda looked right now.
How could anyone bear to hurt such a cute girl?
"Adelina... Waaaahhh!"
Linda buried her face in Adelina’s chest, sobbing and venting her sorrow.
Adelina stroked Linda’s hair gently, but a smile she couldn’t suppress played around her lips. Felyn’s impassioned confession was carved into her heart forever.
At 10 p.m.,
Because Linda was feeling down, a guilty Adelina decided to stay with her.
Felyn, wanting to get some sleep, decided to head back first.
"I'll walk you out."
Adelina walked side-by-side with Felyn through the streets, and to outsiders, they looked like a perfectly matched couple deeply in love.
Every now and then, her shoulder would lightly bump into his, making her heart tremble.
But Felyn wasn’t in the mood to notice.
He was still conflicted—should he bring up the issue of Adelina's... peculiar tastes?
After a moment’s thought, he took a deep breath.
"Adelina, are you into minotaur? I mean, if so, it's not like it's a deal-breaker... but there would have to be some conditions…"
Yes, this world had the word "Minotaur" for cuckold too.
"Minotaur? Is that a type of demon race? Huh? Why would you think that about me? I’m human! A real human!"
Adelina looked genuinely confused.
"Really? Then it seems I misunderstood."
Felyn, after calming down, realized how ridiculous the whole thing sounded. Maybe it was just his imagination.
"Then I’ll be going now, Lady Adelina. I really can't wait to see you again."
Watching Felyn walk away, Adelina remained troubled by the unfamiliar word.
Do I really look like some weird cow-headed demon? Is my appearance that strange?
Adelina found herself disliking that idea, almost as if she cared deeply about Felyn’s opinion.
I'm the employer here. Why should I care what Felyn thinks!?
Returning to Summer Dream, she initially wanted to ask Linda, but decided against it. Instead, she randomly grabbed a maid.
"Do you know what Minotaur means?"
The maid froze, stunned by the seriousness on Adelina’s face. She leaned close and whispered the explanation.
"In the demon race, Minotaurs love watching their partners get close to other people right in front of them, so…"
"WHAT?!?!?!"
Adelina felt like she had been soaking in a hot spring for a hundred days—every inch of her skin flushed bright red.
"I’m not! How could I be!"
Her behavior had left Felyn with weird impressions!
Adelina rushed out of the shop in a panic to explain him, but by then, Felyn was long gone.
I’m not into that!!
Tears of frustration welled up in Adelina’s eyes. She could only wait until their next meeting to clear up the misunderstanding.
But then—
She remembered what Felyn had said before leaving:
Adelina, are you into minotaur? I mean, if so, it's not like it's a deal-breaker…”
Even if he mistakenly thought she had such a twisted fetish, he still accepted her without any disgust.
He really loves me so much!
Adelina stood in front of the mirror, gazing at herself.
If I had known, I would've dressed better today… Why was I dressed so casually?
Everything that happened tonight replayed in her mind.
Not only had he given her a gift, he had confessed his love in front of Linda, and he was even willing to accept her nonexistent twisted fetish.
Adelina never imagined someone could love her this madly. It was the first time she’d ever encountered such a thing.
She decided she had to treat him even better.
"Felyn, since you love me so much, I'll grant your wish... and let you stay by my side a little longer..."
Adelina had already made up her mind on how to respond to Felyn’s feelings.
