Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

Chapter 816: Did I just hook up #### with my husband!?

A few hours earlier, after Aether and Xara went on a date, Delphine finally returned to the house after hours of continuous work.

However, she was not happy at all...

Not because of the work... maybe that too, but more importantly—

"I cannot believe Sister-in-law actually adopted Aether as her son," Delphine muttered under her breath, her teeth gritted in sheer disbelief.

She still couldn't wrap her head around it.

How could this have happened?

How could her sister-in-law make such a decision without even considering her feelings?

The moment she had heard the news, she wanted to rush back home as soon as possible, but her responsibilities had held her back.

The Empress had gone somewhere unknown, leaving the entire Empire in a fragile state. As one of the generals, Delphine had no choice but to stay behind, working tirelessly to maintain stability.

There had been no room for rest, no moment of respite.

Now, finally, after what felt like forever, she had a short window of relief. And she wasn't going to waste it.

She needed answers!

She needed to understand what the hell was going on in this house!!

As she walked through the corridor, she suddenly noticed something unusual. Alfred and Timmy were kneeling on the ground, their expressions grim.

She narrowed her eyes. "Hmm? What's going on here? Why are you two kneeling?" she asked, her voice carrying a sharp edge.

Alfred merely lowered his head further, refusing to speak a word.

Delphine's frown deepened. She let out an annoyed sigh before shrugging. Whatever it was, she didn't have time to deal with these people right now. Without another glance, she continued walking toward Velc's office.

The moment she stepped in, she didn't bother with pleasantries. "Where is Sister-in-law?" she demanded, her voice laced with irritation.

Velc barely spared her a glance before turning back to his paperwork. "I don't know..." he replied flatly.

Delphine clenched her jaw. "She took Aether as her son? Is that true?"
