The feeling of powerlessness, of being unable to do or change anything, was the most terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this school festival, it wouldn't be long until the capital exams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he passed the exams at that time, he could end his current life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Freedom...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn shouted \"freedom\" as he stepped into the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The classroom was lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected of Lady Adeline!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Adeline, thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never expected such a perk.

This will cause misunderstandings among the other students, Adeline,\" Felyn refused. He didn't want others to know about Adeline's feelings for him; it wouldn't be good for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline had already anticipated that Felyn would say this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mouth was slightly open, her breathing much faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her world, only her own heartbeat remained; the lively classroom was reduced to just Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shyness made her throat tighten, and for a moment she couldn't say the words she had already prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline closed her eyes, feeling a little hesitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words I just thought of... they're probably not suitable for me after all...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... but if I'm not more proactive, Felyn will really leave me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The future Felyn described that night is so appealing. I want to be his wife, to spend a simple life with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline, when did you become so weak, hesitating at a time like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn will really leave you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline slowly opened her eyes, her gaze falling on Felyn's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's perfectly normal for me to buy a better dessert for the person I like, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What...?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline's serious and somewhat bold words to Felyn sent his brain into a standby state for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Adeline's gaze, it was Felyn who first looked down, a little embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my heart, you are more important than anyone else, so I bought this for you.\" Adeline's cheeks were already burning hot. She forced down her inner shame, her gaze fixed on Felyn's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh... so that's how it is. I see, I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn didn't know what to say. For the usually composed Adeline to say such things so directly was something that had never appeared in the \"Guide to Analyzing Adeline's Behavior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the conversation between Adeline and Felyn was accidentally overheard by Linda on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bit down on the fork she had just put in her mouth, her eyes wide with disbelief as she looked at Adeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My sister, you're so brave!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this the same young lady who would usually cover her face in embarrassment when talking about love?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Adeline, I don't eat dessert at night. I'll get fat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having come back to his senses, Felyn still refused Adeline's kind gesture. He reached out and put the pudding back on Adeline's desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline didn't insist, simply putting the pudding back in its original box and placing it back on the stool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, Felyn. I wasn't considerate enough. What do you want to eat for lunch tomorrow? I'll buy it for you, or I can make it for you. Consider it compensation for tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to trouble yourself, Adeline. I'm a little curious about what's wrong with you today. Did someone bully you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know what you're thinking, Felyn.\" Adeline lowered her head, her rose-tea colored hair curling restlessly out of shyness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm also very shy saying these things, but... but I just want to tell you what's on my mind. Is that... not okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline's hands tightly gripped the hem of her skirt, her grayish-blue eyes moist as she looked at Felyn with a watery gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn fell silent. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A client had confessed to him, and he couldn't end the contract because he couldn't afford the breach penalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the contract ended, because of the school festival planning committee, he would still have to see Adeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adeline, you know I will refuse you,\" he said in a low voice, looking at the others who were happily eating dessert, still unaware of what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know. I've confessed to you once before, and you rejected me then. But I found that I can't stand the days without you. And, I really like your vision for the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline did not run away from her own heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the contract ended last Wednesday, Adeline hadn't been able to sleep at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't accept the fact that Felyn was leaving her. She wanted to be with Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This will bring you trouble, Adeline.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What trouble?\" Adeline pretended not to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Letting other nobles know that you like a down-and-out noble who sells his services... they will attack you on this point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does it matter? I'll just say I fell for you because of the incident in the capital. That's a reasonable excuse, isn't it?\" Adeline fiddled with the documents in her hand, not daring to look up at Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But not many people know about that incident in the capital, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news of Adeline's attack in the capital district had been suppressed; only a few high-ranking officials knew about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. So Her Highness the Princess will have my back,\" Adeline said with a blink, feeling a sense of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the nobles used this incident to attack the Claude family, Adeline would stand up and say she fell for Felyn because he saved her in the capital district.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the royal family did not want the news of the attack in the capital to be known by too many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the royals would step in and make this sensitive scandal slowly disappear, fading it from the public eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Dorothy, I'll have to trouble you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1338,"2026-06-09T04:36:14.214Z",1,"novelbin.me","173d3627ababe521b35fb6b2ba4222ac01bc1b08036f715e602368fdd0bdfc67","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-255","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-253",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-cover.jpg"]
