He had planned to tell Lucian about repairing the phone, but instead, he had been confessing his feelings and asking for intimacy whenever they met. His brain would always automatically erase the thought of repairing the phone, which made things harder for him. He felt deeply guilty. Especially when he knew the two would have been really worried about him and might have even been searching for him. He pressed his lips in a thin line, his eyes fixed on the phone as if he was trying to pierce a hole. The system, watching him feeling dejected, finally showed up before him and displayed some words. [Affection point: 50%][You've been working hard for a week and already gained 50% of affection. Don't worry, host. Your two lovers are fine.]Perhaps it was a way of comforting Finn. [Niam and Franklin get everyday messages. Greetings and a good day wish. An explanation had also been made to let them realize that the host is particularly busy during this period.]Its voice stopped being m

As planned, Lucian drove Finn to the hotel after breakfast, and after a few instructions, he felt for his office. Sitting alone in the big suite, Finn felt sad and lonely once again. But these feelings didn't last for long. Finn soon cheered up as he opened his bag and brought out his newly repaired phone. He stared at the phone with a bright smile on his face. His fingers were almost trembling with excitement as he turned it on. Uncle Butler had given him the phone this morning before he left Lucian's mansion, and he couldn't be any happier. Seeing that the phone had been unlocked, Finn quickly dialed Niam's line. The call rang only for a few seconds before it was quickly answered. "Hello, honey. How are you?" Niam's slightly agitated voice sounded. "Are you okay?" Finn's heart melted. His smile deepened. He smiled so hard that his cheeks began to hurt. "I'm fine. How have you been, Niam?" Niam paused. "I'm fine. I miss you."Finn squeezed his toes. "I miss you more. I'll b

"You..." "I'll kill you." "Let me go. Leave me alone. Let me kill this ungrateful child." Lyra's frantic voice rang over and over again, but Finn turned a deaf ear to them all. He slowly walked back to his room. Each step was taken with wincing and sharp breathing, but he didn't stop. He pushed open the door to Lucian's room and got in. Sweat had made his hair drop to his face, and he felt uncomfortable all over. But Finn didn't think he had the strength or the will to take a bath right then. He slowly climbed into bed, covered himself up, and closed his eyes. The system appeared before him. "Do you need help?" Its voice was humane. "You rejected my help to shield you from the pain earlier. Why did you do that?" Finn was quiet. He had no idea why he made that decision either, but he knew that was what he really wanted back then. He could have easily prevented Lyra from beating him or even protecting his important organs, but for some reason, he felt like he deserved every bi

Finn had gone out to buy some snacks in the supermarket close to Lucian's villa. Lucian had gone to work, and being home alone all day made him feel a little stiff, so he decided to take a walk down the street. Picking up his snacks, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He didn't care at first. There were so many people in the supermarket, and it wasn't rare for others to come to the same aisle he was in. But this thought ended when the person pushed him from behind. Finn staggered and had to hold a counter to balance himself. Turning around, he saw Lyra glaring at him. The hatred in his eyes couldn't be more obvious. Even to someone as naive as Finn, he knew what was in her eyes at that moment was hatred. Not anger. Finn frowned. "What do you think you're doing?" He was really angry. The earlier bruises were yet to disappear, and because of that, Lucian hadn't touched him in a few days, and he would have to return to school tomorrow...If he spotted another injury again no

Finn felt miserable. The night was cold, and his limbs were starting to freeze. He sniffed and rubbed his body, dragging his feet down an unknown street as he searched for his lover. But he had no idea where Niam had gone. No matter how hard and how long he searched, he couldn't find the man. Finn's legs began to hurt. He turned around, darkness swallowed him, and left him no way to return. He really had no idea where to go. He didn't even know his way back home. Finn felt frustrated. He had cried so much that his tears had stopped falling. His legs weakened, and he crouched by the roadside, resting his arms on his knees as he shivered pitifully with no one around. The system was quiet. It had tried to speak to Finn so many times tonight, but he seemed too occupied to hear anything. It could only watch helplessly as Finn wandered around. Finn closed his eyes. His body was starting to grow numb from the cold, and his breathing was a little weak. He really didn't know what to d
