Chapter 275: Luke’s Second Wife Has Finally Activated Her Rewards!

And that same question kept repeating in Luke’s mind.

’Where is the meal!’

So, he cast a resentful gaze toward Selene’s maid skirt, where a glimpse of her fair as* could still be seen.

"Selene, how could you do this to your poor husband!" he complained resentfully before getting up and moving hungrily toward his prize.

But Selene merely gave him a sharp glare and said something that froze him in his tracks.

"Hoh? Poor husband?"

"Then what about Aurielle?"

She moved closer to the now-frozen Luke.

Then she slowly lowered her hand and gave him a teasing tap to his balls.

"Because this seems empty, my little boy." She whispered with a displeased expression.

At that moment, she finally recall why she hadn’t remembered anything earlier.

’I lost control.’

Her gaze remained fixed on Frozen Luke, who had just been caught red-handed having an affair.

’What affair? Aurielle is also my wife!’ Luke shouted in his mind after noticing Selene’s gaze, but he didn’t dare say those words out loud.

[Nice decision, Luke.] Even the system praised his decision.

"Luke."

Suddenly, Selene’s expression turned serious, as if she wanted to ask him something important.

"What did I do yesterday?" she asked while looking straight into his eyes.

Because if she really had done what her mother taught her, then Luke shouldn’t have been standing there perfectly fine and acting of his own free will.

Luke’s earlier playful expression disappeared as well. Instead, he let out a sigh.

He didn’t want to tell her about what had happened yesterday, especially the part where she had tried to mind-control him.

Because after seeing her tears, he knew that if she found out, she would only feel guilty.

’That she tried to control me... hurt me.’

His eyes softened as he looked into the eyes of the woman he loved.

’And I don’t want you to feel guilty.’

So, putting on a casual smile, he muttered,

"Nothing. Since you were tired yesterday, you fell asleep." He told her a simple lie.

One that no one would believe.

And Selene was no exception.

"Sigh." However, she sighed and pushed those thoughts aside. Because if she really had done that, then he would have been completely under her control.

Which meant she hadn’t done it. And that calm down her mind.

Then, she looked once again at his smiling face.

’Yeah, I didn’t do that.’

"Fine, then tell me what happened earlier."

Hearing her question again, this time clearly asking about everything else that had happened, he thought for a moment before recounting everything except the part about her blood-sucking.

"Those tree rats dare!"

Selene became furious after hearing what had happened earlier.

Because those elves had dared to insult her husband.

"It’s fine. I’ve already taught them a lesson." Luke said, before hugging her angry body.

Feeling Luke’s warmth and hearing his words, Selene calmed down somewhat.

But her mind was still seething.

’I should kill their families... all of them.’

She hugged Luke as well, silently making plans to deal with those two elves and their families.

After a few minutes, they finally broke the hug.

"I am taking a bath, and don’t peek."

Selene undressed and headed toward the bathroom, deliberately swaying her naked figure as she walked, fully aware of Luke’s gaze following her.

"Damn, she has learned some tricks." Luke cursed under his breath, realizing she was clearly tempting him while deliberately refusing to let him have his way.

"Hihi~"

But then he heard her playful giggle from inside the bathroom.

Clearly, she was enjoying his torment.

[Sigh, Luke. You are getting rusty.]

The system also appeared and mocked him, increasing Luke’s annoyance even further.

But then the system finally brought some good news.

[Well, there were a few notifications from yesterday and today.]

[Do you want to check them?]

Hearing those words, Luke remembered the earlier notifications. But at that time, he had been too distracted by his wife to check them, so he dismissed them and completely forgot about them.

"Do it."

The moment those words left his mouth, several system screens appeared in front of him.

[CONGRATULATIONS, LUKE! YOUR SECOND WIFE, SELENE NIGHTVEIL, HAS REACHED THE FIRST MILESTONE!]

[LOVE AND POSSESSIVENESS! (✔) — BASE MULTIPLIER: 100X]

[CONGRATULATIONS, LUKE! YOUR SECOND WIFE, SELENE NIGHTVEIL, HAS REACHED THE SECOND MILESTONE!]

[OBSESSIVE LOVE AND SCARLET REALM (D-RANK) (✔) — BASE MULTIPLIER: 1,000X]

[STACKING DAILY CHARGES AND MONTHLY CLAIM 1/10,000 ARE ALSO ENABLED FOR YOUR SECOND WIFE.]

"..."

Seeing so many notifications, Luke was stunned before a huge smile appeared on his face.

"I love you, Selene!"

The words escaped him in his happiness, and surprisingly, another voice came from the bathroom.

"Me too."

Luke immediately shut his mouth, not expecting Selene to reply to him.

Still, knowing that he could now obtain those rewards from his second wife was amazing.

[Luke, check the system note as well.]

He paused upon reading this before clicking on the system note icon.

[Please take care of your obsessive wife and make her yandere as soon as possible.]

[Because the system encourages healthy yanderes.]

"..."

Luke closed the system screen and, for a moment, chose to keep his mouth shut. Otherwise, he would probably end up cursing at the system again.

’There is no f*cking healthy yandere!!!’

But he failed to stay silent and shouted in his mind.

Which was even more true after finding out that Selene had tried to mind-control him simply because he had been with his other wife.

[Luke, you are just a child.]

[You will learn it slowly.]

The system spoke in a sage-like voice, clearly not caring about Luke’s ignorance.

’I am not a child.’

He sat down on the bed, feeling that the system was deliberately rage-baiting him.

"Phew..."

After resting for a few moments while listening to the sound of water dripping from Selene’s body, from inside the bathroom, his mind calmed down somewhat.

Then he asked the system something that could help him a lot if it was true.

’Can the charges of my other wives be used together?’ he asked, because if that were true, then he already had a 1,000x charge multiplier, which he had obtained from Aurielle during his first day of Fructus.

[No.]

"..."

"Fine."
