However, Karl only gave Adelyn a reassuring nod before turning back to Felix.
When Felix continued to stare at him in silence, Karl frowned slightly and repeated himself —this time with a tone that uncannily resembled a mother scolding a stubborn child over something non-negotiable.
"You —why are you still staring at me?" he asked. "Don't tell me you're waiting for me to show you how it's done."
Felix pressed his lips together, clearly unimpressed.
"Fine … watch carefully then," Karl sighed dramatically before turning toward Adelyn.
And just like that—
His tone changed completely.
"Sister-in-law, please look after me."
Felix was stunned.
Jasper was equally caught off guard.
And Adelyn—
She was completely speechless.
That was it.
She couldn't hold herself back anymore.
Reaching out, she grabbed Karl by the ear and twisted it —not too harshly, but just enough to make him wince.
"Ah—ah! Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Did I upset you?" Karl almost yelped.
