Chapter 23 - Sophia is Jealous

Adrian woke up early as the new maid assigned to him gently woke him. She helped him get dressed, and he finally made his way to the dining hall, where Isabella and Sophia were already seated, enjoying breakfast.

"Good morning, Adrian," Isabella greeted him warmly as he entered. "Did you sleep well?"

Adrian nodded, taking a seat at the table. "Yes, Mother. Thank you. I was just thinking about our training and plans."

Sophia glanced at him with a knowing smile. "I hope you're ready for another intense day of training, Adrian. We need to keep pushing forward."

Adrian chuckled, serving himself some food. "I'm always ready, sis. You know that."

Isabella watched them with a soft smile, clearly proud of their dedication. "You both have been working so hard. I'm so proud of you."

Adrian seized the moment, leaning slightly closer to Isabella. "We wouldn't have come this far without your support, Mother. You've always been our pillar of strength."

Isabella blushed slightly, her motherly aura strong. "Thank you, Adrian. It's my duty to support and protect my children."

Adrian gave her a charming smile, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "And it's my duty to make sure you're always taken care of. You know, I'll do anything to see you happy, Mother."

Sophia raised an eyebrow at Adrian's tone but said nothing, focusing on her breakfast.

Isabella, unaware of the hidden meaning behind Adrian's words, replied happily, feeling her son had changed and was finally willing to share burdens with her, "I know, Adrian. And I appreciate it. But remember, our focus now is on preparing for the battles ahead."

Adrian nodded, his expression serious. "Of course, Mother. But it's also important to make time for the people we love. After all, what's the point of all this power if we can't protect and cherish those who matter most to us?"

Isabella smiled softly, reaching out to stroke Adrian's head. "You have a good heart, Adrian. Just remember to stay grounded and keep your priorities straight."

Sophia couldn't help but feel an unpleasant pang within her as she watched Adrian's interaction with their mother. Quickly finishing her breakfast, she stood up and stretched. "Alright, enough chit-chat. Adrian, we have a full day ahead. Let's get started."

She didn't know what she was feeling, as someone with no experience regarding love and all the feelings associated with it.

Adrian could not help but notice the sour feelings of Sophia. Adrian stood as well, feeling a mix of excitement about doing something right before his training with Sophia. "Right behind you, sis."

Before leaving, Adrian turned to Isabella with a playful grin. "Mother, you should join us for training sometime. I'd love to see you in action."

Isabella laughed softly, her eyes twinkling. "Perhaps one day, Adrian. For now, I'll leave the training to you and Sophia. Stay safe and focused."

Adrian went to hug Isabella, her boobs pressing onto him, making him feel excited for future, once he successfully seduces her. Isabella returned the hug and gave him a kiss on the forehead, before breaking away from the hug.

Adrian followed Sophia out of the dining hall, ready to tackle the challenges of the day. The double meaning in his words lingered in the air, but Isabella's motherly aura remained unshaken. Adrian knew he had to focus on his immediate goals, but the system's mission to seduce Isabella was always at the back of his mind, not only because he would be rewarded, but also because he truly wanted to conquer Isabella, who was emitting the aura of a holy mother.

Adrian chased after Sophia, but she didn't head to the training hall. Instead, she went to her room. He followed her, curiosity piqued.

He gently knocked on the door first, and Sophia's voice came from inside, "Come in."

He opened the door and stepped into her room. Sophia was sitting on the edge of her bed, looking troubled. Adrian could see that something was bothering her.

"Sophia, are you okay?" he asked, closing the door behind him.

Sophia looked up at him, her eyes reflecting her inner turmoil. "Adrian, I don't know what's wrong with me. When you were talking with Mother earlier, I felt... angry and uncomfortable. I don't understand why."

Adrian walked over and sat beside her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Sophia, it's okay to feel confused. Emotions can be complicated, Sophia."

Sophia sighed, leaning into his touch. "I just don't understand why I felt that way. It's not like I haven't seen you interact with Mother before."

Adrian thought for a moment, trying to find the right words, "It's called jealousy big sis, you were jealous that I paid more attention to mother and you felt like I ignored you. It's okay to be jealous, I would also be jealous if I saw you talking to another man."

Sophia nodded slowly, her expression enlightened. "Yes, you're right, Adrian. I guess I was being jealous."

Sophia's eyes fluttered closed, and she leaned into the kiss, her hand coming up to rest on Adrian's chest. Encouraged by her response, Adrian deepened the kiss, his other hand moving to the her back, pulling her closer.

Sophia responded eagerly, her lips parting slightly, inviting Adrian to explore further. He obliged, their tongues meeting in a dance of passion and longing. The kiss grew more intense, their breaths mingling as they poured all their unspoken feelings into that one moment.

Adrian's hands roamed up and down Sophia's back, feeling the heat of her body through the fabric of her clothes. Sophia's fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him even closer. The intensity of their connection was overwhelming, leaving them both breathless and yearning for more.

The kiss broke briefly, both gasping for air, their foreheads resting against each other. Adrian's eyes searched hers, seeking confirmation, reassurance. Sophia smiled, a wicked glint in her eye, and tugged gently on his lower lip with her teeth.

"Again, kiss me until this hazy feeling of jealousy is blown away" she commanded, her voice husky with desire.

This time, when their lips met, it was with a newfound urgency, a desperate need to consume and be consumed. Adrian's hands explored further, slipping beneath the hem of her clothes, his fingers tracing the delicate skin of her back. Sophia moaned into the kiss, her body trembling under his touch.
