Felix: [Well, say thanks to Nykie for me.]

His casual reply made Theon’s breath catch in his chest.

Theon: [Why do you call her Nykie?]

Theon was sure Felix had never used such a familiar nickname for anyone before. It made him realize that Felix’s attitude toward Nyx was way more than just casual.

“Trying to set things straight, Theon attempted to assert his position.

Theon: [She only sees you as my uncle.]”

As for sending Felix sandwiches, Theon thought it was more about showing respect to his uncle, and not anything else.

Theon: [She feels like I’m not caring for you enough, so she thought she’d do something for me.]

Theon emphasized “for me“, but Felix only focused on “care“.

Still holding the transparent thermal box, Felix softened his gaze, his thoughts drifting to Nyx’s petite, lively figure.

He could almost hear her soft voice, tinged with mild reproach, telling Theon that she was going to take the initiative and show some concern for her uncle.

Meanwhile, Theon was still typing away in the chat.

Theon: [You talked badly about her before, and she heard you, but she didn’t get angry.]

Theon: Now do you get it? She’s the most gentle, most adorable female in the world.]

Theon: [Feelings mixed with selfish motives don’t deserve her.]

Theon: [I don’t care if she has mental power or is E–level or S–level. I only like her. But you don’t.]

Theon was this close to flat–out telling Felix he wasn’t good enough for Nyx.

Felix chuckled softly, shook his head, and didn’t respond. He thought Theon’s jealousy was so blunt and childish.

But, as much as Felix hated to admit it, Theon wasn’t wrong. Only the purest, most sincere love was worthy of someone so good as Nyx.
