Adelina held onto the doorframe, watching his figure until it completely vanished from sight. Only then did she slowly close the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By all logic, getting to see a more genuine side of Felyn should’ve made her happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Adelina leaned against the door and slowly slid down, her strength leaving her. The more she liked him, the more painful it became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more goodness she discovered in Felyn, the more she regretted not treating him better from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why had she so arrogantly assumed that he liked her? Why had she accepted his care without question?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, Adelina couldn’t feel happy at all. It was her past self who had pushed Felyn farther and farther away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, she couldn’t even manage to apologize properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn had clearly avoided those topics the entire evening. She was afraid that if she said anything, he’d deflect or worse—leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she wasn’t naïve enough to believe that throwing herself into his arms in tears and saying sorry would earn his forgiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn was, in some ways, perfectly capable of being cold. She knew this better than anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived those harsh days on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell was I doing back then…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced toward the kitchen again on her way upstairs. Just thinking about the injury he’d sustained made her chest fill with guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throwing herself onto the bed, Adelina found that even though he’d only left less than five minutes ago, she was already thinking about when they’d meet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that next meeting felt so far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know I was wrong, Felyn… can you forgive me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She whispered to the plush pig he had given her, as if hoping Felyn could somehow hear her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vision Felyn had shared of his imagined future surfaced again in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t stop picturing what it would be like to live that kind of simple life with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only the person by Felyn’s side could be me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lying there for a while, Adelina got up and began tidying her desk. There were still traces of Felyn left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While cleaning, Adelina found a notebook hidden beneath one of her textbooks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It belonged to Felyn—he must have forgotten it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This has to be important,” she murmured to herself. “If he can’t find it, it’ll give him a headache. And if he needs it tomorrow, that’ll be a problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She held the notebook in her hands, trying to justify her next thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s so late… messaging him now might disturb his rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it’s totally reasonable for me to bring it to him in the morning, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely unreasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a notebook, and not even an important one. Felyn had probably already forgotten it existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it hadn’t even been fifteen minutes since he left—he was still on the road. Messaging him wouldn’t disturb his sleep at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was nothing more than an excuse—an excuse for her to see Felyn again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She needed to do something,anything, to ease the growing distance between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after getting to know the real Felyn tonight, Adelina couldn’t stand waiting even a second longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Zervanie gets to visit him. Why shouldn’t I be allowed to see him too?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thursday morning. The sun was shining bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina stood in front of the mirror, brushing her hair and checking her makeup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was wearing the blue and white school uniform of Lanchester Academy, paired with long black cotton socks and a small brown handbag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in uniform, her figure was impossible to hide. Her proud curves defied any attempt at modesty, her chest refusing to be subdued by a few pieces of fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She left early and arrived at the gates of Saint Andros Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she’d chosen a discreet spot where she could see Felyn without drawing attention, she was still recognized by many students passing by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Lanchester Academy’s student council president was just as popular at Saint Andros.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morning sunlight mixed with the youthful faces of students always brought a sense of peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even more so when she was waiting for someone she loved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina hummed softly to herself, watching the crowd while keeping an eye out for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At least the only one in Felyn’s school is Lady Viloti…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even just Viloti was enough to make Adelina worry. If Zervanie or the other girls hovering around Felyn showed up too, Adelina might seriously consider transferring schools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speak of the devil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl passed by, wearing a face mask and hat, looking suspiciously sneaky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at Adelina—and stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes met. Adelina found the girl strangely familiar. Had they met before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And…why does just looking at her annoy me so much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Adelina was about to walk over and ask, a cool voice came from behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good morning, Miss Adelina.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina turned and saw her rival—Viloti Silafiel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wearing the red-and-white uniform, she looked lovely as always. The sunlight softened her features, like a gentle filter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pink hair was tied into two fluffy braids that hung in front of her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good morning, Lady Viloti.” They exchanged formal greetings, as if standing at the beginning of a duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti had seen Adelina from a distance. The look on her face made it obvious—she was waiting for Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Viloti, this place was her and Felyn’s personal space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina had no right to interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you waiting for someone?” Viloti asked first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina raised her brow. She hadn’t expected Viloti to be the one to strike up conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time she had ever done so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m waiting for Felyn. He left something at my place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the fact that Felyn might not want their late-night study session exposed, Adelina would’ve pulled out the notebook and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn stayed over at my house last night to study. He left this behind, so I brought it over first thing this morning to make sure it doesn’t disrupt his day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was too shy to say it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she just watched as Viloti stayed right beside her, making no move to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady Viloti, why aren’t you going into the school? Are you waiting for someone too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m waiting for Felyn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Is there something you need from him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. I just want to spend a little more time with him.” Viloti had never hidden her feelings for Felyn in front of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“T-Then I want to spend more time with him too!” Adelina pushed back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.” Viloti tilted her chin slightly, meeting Adelina’s gaze head-on. “Felyn is only one person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1169,"2026-06-09T04:36:14.214Z",1,"novelbin.me","2c8cc4459ae30e3863ff048dd2243cf0bef6a5bc323cb4debd2ec4dca22aa381","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-227","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-225",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-cover.jpg"]
