Lying on top of Felix's back who had a satisfied smile on his face after Sheila used her Astral Rune to relieve him of all exhaustion and pain, Sheila said, "Your family which you aren't related to is nice."
"I know."
Replying purely by instinct, Felix pushed Sheila off of his back and got up himself.
Looking her straight in the eyes, he awkwardly scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry little fox. What I did back then, that was completely out of line. You were just..."
"Shhh… Did I ask for an apology?"
Pressing her finger against Felix's lips and stopping him from continuing, Sheila who had the same smile as before asked, "Are you now willing to share?"
Nodding his head, Felix who knew what it was that she was talking about didn't do anything stupid like call her out for going against her earlier words.
Instead, he brought up all of his courage and spoke one word after the other.
"I… once… almost…. r@ped Sarah…"
Letting his words set in, Felix continued to narrate the events of that day without leaving a single part out of it.
And given that it was his first time ever sharing what happened in the past, Felix found that with every word he spoke the more relieved he was on an emotional level as if a huge burden on him had just disappeared.
Once he finished telling Sheila about everything that happened, Felix was once again filled with nervousness from thinking about how she would react.
Luckily for him, Sheila surprisingly didn't show any huge reaction and instead had scorn in her eyes when looking towards him.
"That's it?"
"Of course that's it. What did you think happened?"
Shaking her head, Sheila didn't say what it was that she thought happened and instead spread her arms wide after lying flatly on the bed.
"Come here."
"Huh?"
"Come on, don't be so shy."
Despite looking a little embarrassed since he felt that it should be the man who embraces the woman and not the other way around, Felix couldn't reject the allure of Sheila's half-visible breasts and therefore finally gave in.
Placing his head in the middle of her breasts, Felix closed his eyes from both the warmth and the scent which was making him feel relaxed and at peace.
"I won't say anything about what happened in the past, or help you justify or berate your actions. Instead, I'll give you a word of advice which I hope you'll take seriously."
Nodding his head more than needed because he enjoyed the way her breasts felt against his face, Felix patiently waited for Sheila to continue.
"If you ever feel that you did something wrong, apologise. On the other hand, if you think what you did wasn't wrong, then don't bother saying or doing anything regardless of what it is that the other one or the entire world thinks of your actions."
"I'm not saying you shouldn't feel guilty if you did anything wrong. Guilt is something that all emotional beings feel when you think you did something wrong. However, the way you are showing your guilt is nothing more than an inconvenience towards those women."
"Sure they appreciate everything you do for them, but making them live in a state of constant tension and nervousness since you don't even talk to them, none of them deserve that."
"So, I want you to either apologise to Sarah tomorrow, or speak as if you never did anything wrong. After that, it's up to you if you want to continue living here or move out. Regardless of that, you need to speak to that woman and get over it. Got it?"
Nodding his head slowly this time, Felix like an obedient child who was being scolded didn't say anything for a long time before finally asking, "Why are you trying so hard to help me get over my problems?"
"What are you talking about boya? As your future first wife, if I don't help you get over your demons who else will?"
"Also, I don't want my future husband to be a weak-willed man who doesn't know how to act due to being bothered by one certain incident. Therefore, I don't want you to ever hesitate when doing something, or regret anything after you did it starting from tomorrow onwards, okay?"
Speaking in the same tone from the beginning till the end, Sheila almost as if singing a lullaby had Felix fall asleep after nodding his head one last time.
"Sleep well, Anata. It's a new day starting tomorrow."
Making sure that Felix had fallen asleep, the kind smile on Sheila's face disappeared after she kissed him on the forehead and now began looking like a professional businesswoman.
"Come out, lady Phoenix. It's time we talk formally."
"As expected of the young lady from the Khun Family."
Not asking about when Sheila had discovered her existence, Anastasia clicked her tongue from feeling jealous that it wasn't her who was making Felix look like he was having the best time of his life while sleeping on top of the fox woman's breasts.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"I don't know what the relationship between you and Felix is, I just want to let you know that I am his future first wife."
"Is that so? I doubt he'd say the same thing if I give him my first time. A Phoenix's virginity is not something which many other things can compare with."
"Indeed, he might do that. I won't refuse the possibility of that. However, once a Phoenix loses her virginity, would she still be loved and looked after in the same way?"
Tensing a little since she couldn't refuse the possibility of such a thing since every woman who was courted or married lost their worth after their first time had been taking, Anastasia felt that the possibility of her becoming Felix's first wife was very slim if she continued looking after him from a distance.
Especially when her 'rival' was so close to him all the time.
