Just let me be alone for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the third floor, Viloti found the door Felyn had mentioned—the one with the sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting inside the room, like a goddess in human form, was a girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi sat by the window, reading a book. She looked up, startled to see Viloti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closed door muffled most of their conversation, so Daiyi couldn’t make out exactly what had happened downstairs—but she quickly pieced it together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are...?\" Viloti asked cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi closed her book, pulled out a few tissues from the desk, and handed them to the tear-streaked Viloti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm Felyn's mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn, completely unaware that he had just been demoted a generation, was scrambling to clean up all signs of Viloti’s earlier presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He collected the teacups from the table, straightened up the couch...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina stood at the entrance, tucking her hair behind her ears over and over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart was pounding, her mind completely blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did she realize—Why did I even come here?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... she had already rung the doorbell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady Adelina? What brings you here?” Felyn stared at her in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, Felyn. I... looked up your address without asking. I came because I have something urgent to discuss with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina lied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"urgent matter\"—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was to find out what that damn Viloti was doing inside!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely it hadn’t already happened, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn couldn’t possibly be... defiled already, could he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina’s gaze kept drifting past Felyn, trying to peer inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I come in to talk?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady Adelina... I’m sorry. It’s a bit inconvenient right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Inconvenient?” Adelina raised her eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her suspicions deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be because of Viloti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s fine. I came here to discuss our contract.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contract?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Felyn had been meaning to bring up that he didn’t want to renew it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does it have to be today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. It has to be today!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Adelina’s determined eyes, Felyn stepped back a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s probably really just here to talk business, right? She couldn’t possibly know Viloti is upstairs... right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, come in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn brewed tea again—actually, he just used the tea he had prepared for Viloti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Felyn wasn’t paying attention, Adelina’s eyes discreetly scanned the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something felt off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like someone else was living here too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, she had come in such a hurry that she didn’t notice Daiyi’s clothes at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, she could sense faint traces of another person’s presence in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be... Felyn decorated the house like this in the hope that one day we’d live together?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady Adelina, please enjoy the tea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina took the teacup with both hands and gently sipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like she could taste Felyn’s affection in the brew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad—it was just a random cup of tea he’d made without a second thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So... is there something I did wrong? Or do you want to change the terms of the contract?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn took out their signed contract. There were still a few months left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Adelina hadn’t brought it up, he would’ve waited until two weeks before the end to inform her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no. Felyn, you’ve done wonderfully. I’m very satisfied.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina twirled her long hair, still sneaking glances around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether it's caring for me or confessing in front of me... I’m very satisfied.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to straight-up ask:Did that wretched Viloti come here or not?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she couldn’t say it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would sound like she was spying on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda had mentioned that a class teacher came with Viloti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she hadn’t seen anyone else—maybe they had already left?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—maybe Felyn hadn’t even let them in!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Adelina’s imagination, Felyn had coldly said to Viloti, without even sparing her a glance:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My heart already belongs to Adelina. Please don’t come pestering me anymore. As for what happened in the dungeon, I won’t hold it against you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that thought, Adelina’s face turned bright red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steam practically poured out of her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady Adelina? Are you alright?” Felyn looked at her, alarmed as her face suddenly flushed a deep red, like her brain had just overloaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is she allergic to cheap black tea?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady Adelina?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn rushed to her side and crouched down, trying to get a look at her face hidden beneath her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t tell me I’m going to be held liable for this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no way I could afford to pay for someone of her status!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, Adelina seemed to recover a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened her eyes and saw Felyn crouched beside her, obedient and gentle—like a pet waiting to be petted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t resist anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached out and ruffled his hair, her heart feeling like it was going to take flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady Adelina, are you really okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s not suddenly lost her mind, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine. Just suddenly got a little hot, haha...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina waved her hand, trying to cool her overheating brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, where were we?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We were talking about the contract.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, right! I came today because I wanted to renew the contract. How about we sign for another year this time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Adelina was fine, Felyn relaxed a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat back down across the table, looking at the contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, Lady Adelina...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, she hurried to interrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine! If a year is too long, we can just do half a year instead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady Adelina, it’s not that I don’t want to renew. I’ve truly enjoyed the days I spent with you. But... because of personal reasons, I won’t be renewing the contract.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina froze, her hand holding the teacup suspended midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers unconsciously tightened, turning her knuckles white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bolt of lightning split across the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its flash lit up her pale face for just a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—the rain began to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1359,"2026-06-09T04:36:14.213Z",1,"novelbin.me","48d5d649bf17bd410646b970647be1da64f52206d898c0929f7c9c791785634c","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-63","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-61",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-cover.jpg"]
