As a villain, he could do whatever he wanted.

As she spoke, Diana rubbed against Leus, her fragrance filling Leus's nostrils with each movement, making him smile with satisfaction and pull the blonde woman in front of him even closer into his arms.

"Hmm~ Ms. Diana is so thoughtful. Alright, in that case, I can't let my wife's feelings go to waste. Tonight, I will ask my wife for it back. Don't worry, I will make sure that my wife remembers this rude behavior with her body and guarantees that she will never make a similar mistake again."

"Thank you... thank you for your guidance, my lord. I... am looking forward to receiving your instruction. I also hope that you... will cherish me well..."

And so, leaning against Leus's chest, Diana, with tears welling in her eyes, forced herself to utter words to Leus that sounded like those of a lover. Leus, in turn, smiled and stroked the smooth back of the young woman, welcoming this forced blonde into his harem amidst the lingering fragrance of her body…

Chapter Forty-Seven: A Tacit Understanding

A few minutes later, in the restaurant.

"...So, this is the story of how Lia and her brother fell in love. How about it, Lilith? Now you know what your brother's fetish is, right? If you want to serve your brother in the future, you can do what Lia did and start by seducing him with your toes! That will definitely attract him directly."

"Um... thank you, I understand..."

Listening to the series of things Lius's foot fetish had just told her from Lia's mouth, Lilith forced a smile, but couldn't help but mutter complaints inwardly.

"Honestly... why did I have to listen to that young master's disgusting fetishes? It's so embarrassing! And this little girl, how could she say such shameful things so casually? What a waste of such an innocent appearance..."

Looking back, Lilith used herself as a cover and, by tacitly agreeing with Lia's words, temporarily concealed the matter between Diana and Lius.

The price of this was that Lilith genuinely believed that Lilith and Leus were also in a romantic relationship. As a result, she adopted the magnanimous demeanor of an empress, engaging in lively discussions with Lilith about serving Leus, and even describing in detail her love affair with Leus the previous night.

From personal quirks to inner thoughts, and the various details of their love affair, Leah recounted everything to Lilith with a look of rapt attention, occasionally gesturing with her fingers to help Lilith understand more clearly what had happened the previous night.

"At that time, my older brother grabbed Leah's foot... and forced her to do XXX, then used XX to XX... until Leah's eyes rolled back in her head..."

As the white-haired girl spoke, Lilith couldn't help but instinctively imagine all sorts of scenes of Lia and Lius falling in love. Shame gradually spread through her heart, but she also felt a strange sense of excitement. Her two beautiful legs under her skirt rubbed together slightly, revealing a faint dampness.

"Gulp... Damn it, am I actually getting excited... It's all this little brat's fault, damn it, if I keep listening, things really will start to get weird..."

Swallowing hard, Lilith heard Leah's bold words, which sounded like something out of a novel. Under the influence of her surging adolescent hormones, she blushed and her heart pounded. She gritted her teeth to resist the excitement surging within her, and she was almost unable to contain herself.

"Well……"

Fortunately, at that moment, with the soft sound of the restaurant door being pushed open, two figures walked in, interrupting Lia's incessant chatter. Lilith, as if she had found saviors, looked towards the door with expectant eyes and spotted the person she had been waiting for.

"It's Mom! You're finally here! That's great!"

Outside the door, Diana and Lius walked into the restaurant side by side. Hearing Lilith's lively words, the two nodded and smiled in response.

Diana placed her hands on her lower abdomen, wearing her usual white dress, and stepped lightly onto the wooden floor with the poise and elegance of a noblewoman, looking no different from usual.

Beside her, Lius maintained a calm smile, stroking Diana's back as he spoke softly to the blonde beauty, in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Remember our previous agreement, Ms. Dinah. In front of Lilith, you must play the role of a virtuous wife. If Lilith notices anything amiss, the consequences... I believe Ms. Dinah knows what will happen."

"Hmm... I know, please believe me, my dear husband, you don't need to worry, I will serve you well..."

Nodding to the blond-haired boy, Diana's face flashed with a hint of indignation and resentment, but then she sighed softly and her gentle and considerate smile returned. In front of her daughter, she took Lius's right hand and leaned against him with a virtuous expression, like an old married couple, and walked affectionately to the dining table.

“Come, young master Lius, please take a seat. I am so grateful for your help in waking me up earlier. Now, please allow me to give you a massage to relieve your stress as a way of repaying you.”

"Thank you very much, Ms. Diana. I feel a little embarrassed that you have to serve me, the host, when I am the guest."

"Hehe, as long as it makes the young master comfortable, that's my greatest honor. There's nothing to be embarrassed about, after all..."

Diana swallowed hard, bit her lip, and finally, under Lilith's astonished gaze, forced a smile and said:

"After all... we'll be family in the future. Whether it's me or Lilith, we'll both become part of the young master's family. Serving you now is also preparing for the future. It's what I should do..."

"What! Mom! You..."

Hearing Diana's respectful yet tender words, Diana covered her mouth in shock, her mind racing with a chaotic mix of thoughts.

My mother... she's so intimate with that young master, could they really be in love...?

That's impossible! Mom clearly said before that she didn't like these men, so why is she acting like this now...?

"Lilith, don't just stand there! Bring over that cheese toast. It's Ms. Diana's favorite. I know you probably have a lot on your mind, but don't ignore the person in front of you!"

Just as Lilith was lost in thought, Leus greeted her, which made Lilith blink and come back to her senses. She quickly picked up the toast on the table and handed it to Diana on the other side.

"Mom, here, please enjoy..."

"Yes, Lilith, you should eat more too. You're in a growth spurt right now, so you need to keep up your energy levels. You won't grow tall if you don't eat properly."

With a gentle smile, Diana, as usual, carefully instructed Lilith while massaging Lius.

Meanwhile, Lilith, watching Diana's calm and serene smile and the skilled massage techniques in the young woman's hands, felt an increasingly inexplicable sense of unease.

"Mom...it seems she has really submitted to that young master, and she seems quite happy about it. Could this be Mom's true nature?"

"Didn't Mom always say that these lousy men were completely worthless? But now she's acting like this... So all those attitudes she had towards me before were just an act...?"

As she pondered this, Lilith pursed her lips slightly, a sudden sense of distrust towards Diana rising within her. Just then, she heard a soft laugh in her ear.

"Ha ha……"

"Ok?"

Turning her head, she saw that Leah had somehow gotten close to her, her eyes slightly narrowed as she chuckled, a knowing look on her face. She whispered in Lilith's ear:

"Ha... Judging from the discussion just now, it seems that my brother has already discussed it with Aunt Diana. If nothing unexpected happens, Sister Lilith, your relationship with my brother will be announced soon, right? Lia will be prepared too, so don't worry about making me jealous!"

"No...that's not it..."

Looking at the white-haired girl whose misunderstanding had deepened, Lilith instinctively wanted to deny it.

However, upon thinking again about the relationship between Diana and Lius, her lips twitched a few times, and she forcibly swallowed the words she was about to say.

No... No matter what Mom thinks, these things absolutely cannot be exposed...

Judging from the attitudes of Mom and that young master, they don't seem to want to expose their relationship immediately. In that case, there might still be a chance to salvage the situation.

At least for this little girl, Leah, we absolutely cannot let her know the true nature of the relationship between her mother and Leus, otherwise she will definitely start making a scene everywhere. Absolutely not…

With these thoughts swirling in her mind, Lilith forced a smile, swallowed hard, and compelled herself to comply with Leah's words, continuing to conceal this unspeakable matter:

"Ha...yes, that's exactly what Mom meant. I'll fall in love with that young master...that's why Mom said we'll become family in the future. That's really all, nothing more! You have to believe me!"

Lilith's words carried a hint of guilt and panic, but Leah didn't notice anything amiss. Instead, she looked at Lilith with a serious expression, took her arm, and patted her shoulder earnestly.

"I'm so happy to hear Lilith admit it herself. Hehe, don't worry. Even though there was a little conflict between Lilith and her sister yesterday, now that we're going to be your partners, I'll take good care of her and help her grow into a good wife. Let's do our best together!"

"Ha... well, thank you for your consideration, Leah. Also..."

Lilith nervously swallowed, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered to Leah in a serious and undeniable tone:

"Please keep my relationship with the young master a secret for now and don't tell anyone else. I'd like to wait until he announces it on his own later, is that alright?"

"Oh~ Do you want your older brother to propose to you first?"

Leah blinked thoughtfully, then smiled knowingly.

"Sister Lilith is so romantic! Okay, Lia will keep it a secret. When Brother confesses, we can have a contest to see which of our confessions is the most heartfelt. If we win, we can have Brother all to ourselves for a day! Hehe, that'll be so much fun..."

And so, with a joyful and expectant smile on Leah's face, the private conversation between the two girls came to a temporary end.

And then, it will be time for these family members to "get along harmoniously"...

Chapter Forty-Eight: The Warmth Between Family Members (Part 1)

“Brother, come, let Leah continue to feed you, and Aunt Diana too. Please enjoy Leah’s cooking. Please take good care of me in the future. As long as you remain friendly to me, Leah will treat you the same way she treats Mother Annie.”

Leah presented a plate of thick soup to Diana, behaving obediently and respectfully as she addressed the blonde woman opposite her.

"This……"

Seeing Leah's enthusiastic attitude, Diana blinked in surprise.

"You are...Annie's adopted daughter, right?"

"Yes, yes, my name is Leah. I am Anne's mother's daughter and also Young Master Lius's sister. I heard from my brother that Ms. Diana is Anne's mother's friend. That's wonderful. Here, Leah, spread some jam on Aunt Diana's bread. It's very delicious. Please have a good taste, Aunt."

"This one……"

Diana seemed somewhat uncomfortable with this kindness from others, especially since the one conveying the kindness was a girl who was originally an ordinary person. This made Diana slightly look away, and a strange sense of humiliation welled up in her heart.

"Well... thank you for your kindness, Miss Leah, but... actually, an older woman like me doesn't really need any special care... I can come alone, no need to go to any extra trouble..."

As Diana spoke, she was about to refuse, but Lius beside her pressed her back down:

"Oh, Ms. Diana, please don't say that. This is all from my sister's heart. Since you'll be staying here often from now on, you should treat your family well. Come, Lilith, come and sit down with me. How about you sit next to me? Why don't you learn to serve me like Ms. Diana did?"

"Forehead……"

At Leus's invitation, Lilith's heart skipped a beat, and then, under Leus's somewhat threatening gaze, she bit her lip and forced a smile:

"Haha, okay...okay, young master, you really are something, getting so intimate with me right off the bat, aren't you afraid of what Mom will say..."

"Really? It's just a little shoulder massage, it shouldn't be a problem, right, Ms. Diana? Would you be willing to let Lilith come and massage me?"

Looking at Diana, Lius deliberately smiled and asked her a question. Diana trembled slightly upon hearing this, her fingers holding the spoon hesitated in mid-air, and then she nodded with a forced smile.

"Hmm... Of course, we're all family. It's normal for family members to do these things. As long as we don't go too far, I don't mind..."

"What! Mom, you..."

Hearing her mother's words, which were practically tantamount to "selling her daughter," Lilith blinked in surprise. She wanted to retort, but seeing the serious look in Diana's eyes, she realized that she couldn't refuse her mother's words, and a look of disappointment appeared in her eyes.

"Mom...she really doesn't care about me at all anymore. She only listens to that young master and has become his slave. Waaah...she doesn't care about her daughter anymore..."

With a pessimistic and disappointed mindset, Lilith finally let out a trembling sigh beneath a stiff smile, and nodded weakly and helplessly through gritted teeth.

"Alright... I understand, young master... you really know how to 'do' things, having my daughter and I massage you together... only someone as nonchalant as you could do something like that..."

"This is also proof of the good relationship between our families, haha. I'm also looking forward to Lilith getting used to this kind of life. Although it may be a little uncomfortable at first, I believe that in time, you will be able to feel its wonder..."

With a meaningful tone, Lius watched with a smile as the blonde young lady walked up behind him and, together with his mother, reached out to massage his shoulders.

Feeling the soft, slightly trembling touch on his shoulder, a sense of accomplishment welled up inside him, and he gave the blonde mother and daughter behind him an encouraging smile.

"Wow……"

Meanwhile, Lydia, sitting opposite Lius, couldn't help but smile as she looked at the "harmonious" scene before her.

"As expected of my elder brother, he gets along so well with this family. Yesterday, Ms. Diana and Sister Lilith were so arrogant and domineering, but now they've become so well-behaved and obedient. Indeed, my elder brother's charm is unparalleled..."

With this in mind, Lia took a deep breath, then stepped forward and skipped over to Lius.

"Brother! Lia will give you a massage too! Hehe, Lia will massage your legs, let's see who has the best massage skills, Lia or Sister Lilith!"

With a mischievous and adorable smile, the white-haired girl suddenly jumped into her brother's arms, like an excited little girl, and lay down on Lius's lap to rub him, using her body to make up for the "emptiness" that had been in front of Lius.

"Hmm... Lia's technique is very comfortable. Ms. Diana and Lilith can learn from Lia in the future. The pressure in your hands must be just right, otherwise the massage will not have any effect. It may even make me a little unhappy and I will need to make up for it in other ways."

"Another way..."

Upon hearing this, Diana swallowed hard and quickly shook her head in reply:

"No, no need. I will serve Young Master Lius well. I will definitely practice my service techniques to make you comfortable. Don't take your eyes off me..."

As she spoke, Diana rubbed her chest against Lius's back, a scene witnessed by her daughter, which intensified the bitterness in Lilith's heart.

"Does this young lady... does this young lady really still have any reason to persist? Mom has already confessed to the young master like this and made such a shameful move, practically selling this young lady to him. She doesn't seem like someone who can be persuaded to come back..."

Feeling a surge of sourness welling up inside, Lilith, besides distrusting her mother, also felt her body gradually becoming increasingly hot under Diana's rubbing movements.

"Hmm... my body feels so strange. It's all this young master's fault, and Mom is really something too, becoming so wanton in front of him. Is a man's body... really that attractive...?"

As Lilith stroked Lius's somewhat hard shoulders, a warmth seemed to flow through her fingers and palms. Under the rising tide of adolescent female hormones, Lilith felt a strange attraction to the handsome young man with his back to her.

"Sigh... I feel that even if I continue to persist, I'll only be used as a joke by this young master to mock me... Since that's the case, why should I continue to endure it... I might as well try to find out what's so appealing about this young master, and maybe I can find a way to solve my mother's problem..."

Thoughts of self-abandonment flooded into Lilith's mind like a tidal wave, causing her to clench her fists. She then pressed them against Lius's back, mimicking her mother's posture and gently rubbing against him, serving him.

"Ah...the shoulders are so hard, is this what a man's body is like? And this smell...it's really...strange, but I feel like touching him like this makes this young master seem more pleasing to the eye..."

As Diana nuzzled against Lius's back from either side, Lilith felt a surge of joy welling up inside her. With a slight blush on her cheeks, her gaze towards Lius softened a little more than before.

Diana lowered her head silently, trying her best to ignore her and her daughter's current situation, and continued to maintain a forced smile, using all her energy to please Lius.

"Ha... Young Master Lius, was the massage from my daughter and me comfortable? Was I better, or did my daughter satisfy you more?"

"Well..."

Looking at the two beautiful women beside him, and noticing the different expressions on Lilith and Diana's faces, Leus smiled slightly, quite pleased with their demeanor...
