Lycaon fell silent. Lina then spoke in an incredibly gentle voice, "Thank you for taking care of Kelin for us, Wise. Could you please ask her if she needs us to come and pick her up?"
Just as Lina finished speaking, Kelin, who was still blushing from Wise's passionate confession earlier, immediately leaned next to the phone, her pinkish-white cheek rubbing against his shoulder. "There's no need, Miss Lina. It's so late, it's not convenient. It's fine for Kelin to sleep at big brother Wise's place."
Kelin's words made Lina, who was about to try and persuade her, pause her smile for a moment. Since Kelin had said so, they couldn't possibly force her back. So, they had to give up. She then replied, biting her lip slightly, "In that case, we'll have to trouble you to take good care of Kelin, Mr. Wise."
After saying this, Lina hung up the phone. At the same time, her curiosity about Wise grew even stronger. She knew both Kelin's and Ellen's personalities, yet Wise was able to capture both their hearts. This made Lina want to get to know him a little better. Mhm, I'll try to get in touch with him later. Lina thought to herself.
Then she looked at the silent Lycaon beside her. Seeing his terrible expression, she proactively got up, intending to go to the kitchen to make some late-night snacks. But before she could float a few steps, Lycaon stopped her. Citing that he wouldn't let her work overtime, he demanded that Lina go back and rest. Helpless, Lina could only agree.
Lycaon, for his part, was actually thinking about how to inform Ellen of this matter tomorrow. That is to say, no matter what Wise did, as their companion, Lycaon would tell Ellen about this. But how to say it to make her accept it as much as possible? This was another difficult problem. But before he could even figure out this problem, Lina, who was on his side, was about to try and poison him. In the end, Lycaon could only give up. He had no experience in this area and could only wait for Ellen's reaction after she learned the news tomorrow before making a decision.
Meanwhile, on the other side, after Wise hung up the phone, Kelin suddenly felt uneasy. She huddled in Wise's embrace like a frightened deer. He stroked her head and comforted her softly. At the same time, he suddenly felt a gaze from his left. It was Rina, who had been observing their conversation all along. Seeing Wise look over, she finally couldn't help but speak.
"I never thought that little sister Kelin staying the night wasn't communicated to Mr. Lycaon and the others. You'd better confess. What was your original purpose for having her come over? Was it to help take care of me, or was it for this?"
Rina's words were unfair to Wise. This was a situation that was completely unexpected, yet also within the realm of possibility. At first, he hadn't even thought he would run into Kelin. And later, it was she who had taken the initiative to offer to come and help. He had absolutely not guided her intentionally. But for it to turn out like this in the end... well, that wasn't so bad either.
...
The next morning, Wise received a call from Ellen. She said that Lycaon had notified her that Wise had something important to tell her. Hearing this, Wise knew Lycaon's purpose. The latter didn't know how to present this matter to Ellen, so he had thrown the problem to him. But he wasn't surprised by this; after all, he had already promised to explain it to Ellen himself.
"Mhm, it is indeed something very important. I especially need to make it clear to you. Here, Kelin."
"Huh?" Ellen's brow furrowed. She was confused. Why is Kelin at Wise's place so early in the morning?
Just as she was wondering, Kelin's voice came through the phone. "Um... Miss Ellen, I-I'm sorry. Kelin knows what I did was wrong, but Kelin couldn't help it..."
Hearing this, Ellen's brow furrowed even deeper. Did Kelin do something to wrong me? Why is she apologizing like this? But with her personality, it's probably just a small matter. It's not like she could have cuckolded me, right?
Thinking this, she didn't pay it much mind and replied directly, "Ah, it's nothing. It's just a small matter anyway. Kelin, you don't have to worry about it."
Ellen's calm words left Kelin stunned, but it was followed by joy and happiness. She had been feeling guilty about what she had done, thinking about how to apologize to Ellen and explain the situation. Although Kelin didn't regret what she had done, because she liked Wise, the fact that Ellen didn't mind and wasn't even angry about it was undoubtedly the best result.
"Mhm, thank you for your magnanimity, Miss Ellen! Kelin will never forget your kindness!"
"Huh? What kindness? Never mind, it's fine. That's all then." Ellen hung up after saying this. Although she didn't quite understand what Kelin was talking about, she had been woken up early by Lycaon's call and was still half-asleep. The desire to sleep was incredibly strong, so she didn't pay any mind to these small matters.
Seeing Ellen hang up, Kelin let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart. "Thank you, big brother Wise, and Miss Rina." Kelin said this and was about to bow, but halfway through, she let out a cry of pain, "Oof!" It seemed she had pulled a wound somewhere and felt a sharp pain.
"Kelin, you don't have to be like this. You should rest well. Also, do you need me to take you home?" Wise was exceptionally skilled at handling this kind of situation. After helping Kelin to the sofa, he gently rubbed her lower abdomen with his hand. Although he couldn't directly touch the wound, it at least made Kelin feel at ease and had the effect of alleviating the pain. At the same time, whether it was an illusion or not, Kelin felt that the wound had actually recovered.
But the one thing that couldn't be restored was the blood that had accidentally stained the inside of her skirt hem, a result of being injured during yesterday's battle. But thankfully, it was on the inside of the skirt hem, so outsiders couldn't see it and it wouldn't attract any strange looks.
Kelin felt the warmth of Wise's care in her heart, but she still raised her two pinkish-white hands, spread her five fingers, and waved them. "There's no need. Big brother Wise, I'm feeling much better now. I won't trouble you. I can go home by myself." Kelin repeated the word 'can' several times. In truth, she hoped Wise would take her home, but she could also guess Lycaon's attitude right now. What if Wise went back with her and the two of them got into an argument? Kelin would feel very troubled.
