It looked… familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man’s jacket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if Viloti could accept a boy’s jacket, who else could it be besides Felyn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So during the short time she had been away, had Viloti and Felyn spent time alone here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline smoothed out her skirt and sat down beside Viloti, curiosity sparking inside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn came by just now,” Viloti said, having noticed the look in Adeline’s eyes. She chose not to hide anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You must be pleased, getting him all to yourself like that,” Adeline muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still didn’t know how to deal with Viloti. This young lady always went against expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like now—she could’ve easily kept her encounter with Felyn a secret, but she chose to be honest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like a direct provocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was I?” Viloti tilted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s obvious, Miss Viloti,” Adeline replied, her tone tightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Felyn’s future wife—at least in her heart—Adeline felt the need to understand the girls who liked him. She needed to eliminate each threat one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Viloti, in her eyes, was a serious competitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Viloti, how did you and Felyn meet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re classmates.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know that! But you weren’t even in the same class. How did you get to know him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline couldn’t shake the feeling that Viloti was showing off her special bond with Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He used to take care of me a lot… so we got to know each other.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever the topic involved Felyn, Viloti’s words always became…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He took care of you?” Adeline recalled something Linda had once told her. Apparently, Felyn had liked Viloti in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm. But then one day, Felyn suddenly stopped talking to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti then briefly explained how he began avoiding her entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline had also attended Viloti’s entrance celebration when she got into the academy in the capital. She remembered noticing something odd about their relationship that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, Adeline had always believed that Felyn distanced himself from Viloti because he had fallen for her instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You made him angry?” she asked cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She needed to know. She didn’t want to make the same mistake and upset Felyn one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti shook her head… then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rested her head on her knees, her gaze distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It felt like he stopped caring about me overnight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Overnight…?” Adeline echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the morning, we had lunch together. He was really kind. But by the time school ended that afternoon, he’d changed completely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline touched her own cheek, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Felyn had really stopped liking Viloti because of her, there should’ve been some sort of transition—a moment of hesitation or emotional conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had liked Viloti for years. To suddenly flip a switch like that… it didn’t make sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was there anything unusual about him before that happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No change in his mood? Expressions? Any little details?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, throwing out question after question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He was completely normal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti turned her head, sensing something strange in Adeline’s tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He changed suddenly, stopped caring about you, even avoided you… all at once?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline forgot to breathe for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrible possibility crossed her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before he started avoiding you… did you think he… might’ve liked you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti didn’t understand the weight of Adeline’s question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She brushed her bangs to the side, bit her lip, and nodded shyly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It felt like he did.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It really did…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chilling thought took shape in Adeline’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could Viloti… also have been one of Felyn’s clients?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, Adeline had never asked if Felyn had other clients. In her heart, she had always assumed he was exclusively hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for him to abruptly cut off contact with Viloti like that—it was too clean. Too abrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like… the contract had ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Viloti, did you ever ask Felyn to do something for you? Like roleplay or anything like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti shook her head. “We didn’t talk much back then. I never asked him for anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You never signed a contract with him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe I’m just overthinking it,Adeline told herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t believe Viloti was lying. Her expression didn’t look like someone hiding the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti herself might not even know that a contract existed. What if it had been her father or some other family member who hired Felyn to help her recover from her trauma?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could that be it…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adeline?” Viloti noticed she had suddenly frozen up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her rose-colored braid fluttered in the wind. The carefully done makeup now seemed almost ridiculous under the dim streetlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline’s mind had gone blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before that point in time, Felyn had cared for Viloti deeply—and she had believed he liked her too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, suddenly, he had pulled away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was everything Felyn did for me… just because of a contract too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would he leave me just as coldly when our contract ends?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers tingled with numbness. She reached her hand out into the air, searching for something to hold on to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, she just wanted to find Felyn and ask him—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn… do you really love me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All their memories together… were they just a product of the contract?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline couldn’t believe it. No—she didn’t want to believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe Felyn was just decisive. Maybe he had truly stopped liking Viloti overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe his thought process was different from most people’s. Maybe he could simply let go of something he had chased for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe… Viloti was hiding something awful she had done to Felyn, and that’s why he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no proof that Viloti had ever been in a contract. Even Viloti herself didn’t know if one existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline kept comforting herself, trying to dismiss the possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if it’s true?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How do I face Felyn then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes drifted to the pebble sword Felyn had shaped earlier. Suddenly, it felt like a real weapon—like a sharp blade swinging down on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I already love Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In my heart, I’ve already imagined marrying him… even having children with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, there was a possibility that everything he had shown her was just business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a fantasy she had wrapped herself in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The urge to question Felyn, which had just begun to rise, now withered away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t dare ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if she did… what if the answer was the one she feared the most?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline stood there in a daze, tangled in her thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adeline… are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time Viloti had ever seen such a lost and helpless look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1219,"2026-06-09T04:36:14.213Z",1,"novelbin.me","3e95fbb427a6ad8495560c068fef98af9c053ce317e21d6cbce8d83f4d7daadf","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-196","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-194",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-cover.jpg"]
