Chapter 1632: The Secret Breaks at Dawn ( 1632 )

Felicia stepped out of the shower, a soft white towel wrapped snugly around her body. Her damp hair clung to her shoulders and back, droplets tracing slow paths down her collarbones and arms. The fabric clung to her curves, outlining the shape of her breasts, the curve of her waist, the swell of her hips.

The steam curled around her in the cool morning air, her skin faintly flushed from the heat of the bath. She wrapped a second towel around her hair, twisting it up and tucking the end in, the way she always did after a shower. Her tail swayed gently behind her, still damp, the fur soft and sleek.

She glanced toward the bed.

Delya was still fast asleep, her arms wrapped around her chocolate jar, her cheek pressed against it, a dreamy smile on her lips. Celine, Gracelle, and Lyzia were still curled together on the mattress, their breathing slow and even.

Mimi was already awake, stretching her arms above her head, her back arching, before she wandered toward the window and rested her chin on her folded arms, her eyes half-lidded, her tail swaying slowly behind her. Her tongue poked out between her lips as she stared down at the courtyard below.

A squawk rang out from outside.

Felicia sighed. "Mimi... stop teasing Buddy early in the morning."

"Nya?"

Mimi turned her head, glancing at Felicia.

"Mimi wasn’t teasing. Mimi was just checking on Buddy~ He looked lonely out there~"

Just as Felicia was about to say something, her mana phone rang.

She rushed toward the nightstand, picked it up, and glanced at the screen.

Liana was calling.

Felicia tapped the screen and turned on the loudspeaker.

"Morning, Big Sister~"

"Mm~ Morning, Felicia. Is everyone awake yet?"

Felicia shook her head.

"Not yet. Delya and the others are still sleeping. Only Mimi and I are awake for now. I just finished my shower."

"Wake them up and head toward the portable building. We’re all going to have breakfast with Husband. I’ve already prepared breakfast for everyone." Liana paused. "They can have their shower at the portable building later. Don’t be late, and don’t forget to bring the towels and dresses I already prepared for you."

Felicia nodded.

"Mm~ Understood, Big Sister."

"Once everyone’s downstairs, call me back so I can inform Buddy."

"Okay, Big Sister."

Felicia tapped the phone, ending the call, and set it down on the nightstand. She adjusted her towel, tucking it more securely around her chest, the soft fabric shifting against her curves. Then she walked toward the bed and shook Delya gently.

"Delya... wake up..."

Delya stirred, her eyes barely opening. She glanced up at Felicia, her expression soft and sleepy.

"Mm... Just a little more... I want to sleep more..."

Felicia smiled softly.

"Big Sister Liana just called. She told me to wake everyone. She and Big Sister Gloria are already at the portable building, and she’s prepared breakfast for all of us. We should go there."

Delya sat up slowly, forcing herself upright. Her eyes were still half-closed, heavy with sleep, and one arm never left her chocolate jar.

"Mm... fine..."

Delya turned toward where Gracelle lay and yawned softly. She crawled across the mattress toward her and gently shook her shoulder.

"Gracelle... Gracelle... wake up..."

While Delya woke Gracelle, Felicia glanced toward Mimi. She saw Mimi by the window, a sheepish grin on her face as she tossed a piece of food out toward Buddy.

Felicia’s eyes narrowed.

"Mimi!"

Mimi flinched and spun around, her ears flattening, her eyes narrowing at Felicia in return.

"Stop playing this early in the morning!"

Felicia swept her dress and towel into her arms, pointing toward the door.

"Grab your things and head downstairs. Wait with Buddy."

"Nyaaaaa!"

Mimi puffed her cheek, stomping her foot in frustration. She marched toward the table, snatched up her towel and dress, and walked toward the door. She pulled it open, stuck her tongue out at Felicia, and closed it behind her.

Felicia moved to the windows, pulling them shut one by one and drawing the curtains closed until the room was secure. Then she walked back toward the long table, loosened her towel, and let it fall.

Her naked body was revealed in full, the morning light tracing the smooth pale skin of her shoulders, the curve of her back. Her breasts, her waist, her hips, the long elegant line of her thighs.

She reached for her panties first, stepping into them and drawing them up over her legs, settling them against her skin. Then her bra. She reached behind her back, fastened the clasp, and adjusted the cups, her breasts shifting into place, settling with a soft bounce.

Finally, she reached for her dress and stepped into it, drawing it up over her body, sliding her arms through the sleeves, the fabric settling around her figure.

Gracelle, already sitting up, rubbed her eyes and watched Felicia change.

"Where are we going this early?"

Felicia smiled.

"Big Sister wants us to have breakfast with Husband. Now don’t just sit there. Grab your towel and dress and head downstairs."

Gracelle blinked, still groggy.

"But I haven’t even had a shower yet. Or washed my face..."

Celine woke up slowly, rubbing her eyes, still half asleep. Delya slipped off the bed, and Lyzia followed behind her with a lazy, dragging walk.

Felicia zipped her dress at the back, her fingers moving smoothly up the seam.

"You can wash your face or take your shower at the portable building later."

Felicia turned and picked up another dry towel, wiping her hair dry with slow, practiced strokes.

"We should all get going. This vacation is the best time to spend with Husband. He’s leaving for his mission soon, and who knows how long it will be before he returns. If you want to sleep more later, at least do it with him around."

Delya smiled dreamily, reaching gracefully for her folded dress and holding it against her arm.

"Mm~ I want to sleep with Danna-sama later~"

Gracelle smiled, still half-asleep.

"I want to spend time with Husband too..."

Celine smiled softly, reaching for her dress and lifting it, the clean fabric unfolding in her hands.

"Big Sister Liana said Husband is going to train me today."

Lyzia stretched lazily, her lips moving before her brain caught up.

"I want to take more pictures of Brother-in-law before he leaves~"

She froze. Her hand flew up to cover her mouth.

Everyone turned and stared at her. Some surprised. Some narrowing their eyes.

Before anyone could say anything, a loud squawk came from outside.

"Cuquawked!?" (Master is going on a mission!?)

Felicia turned her head toward the windows and swallowed hard.

Ah...
