He was not talking nonsense, nor was he speaking carelessly; he was the only one who dared to speak the truth.

Evan Sinclair’s mind was in chaos, memories surged like a tide.

Everything had an answer now.

It turned out they had been living in a lie all along.

He suddenly stood up, his voice tearing through the entire room.

"What about us? Mom! We are males! We are born to rely on the Female Master to live! By doing this... what should we do in the future!"

The chair was violently overturned, making a piercing crashing sound.

His eyes were bloodshot, the veins on his neck bulging.

They were males, inherently reliant on the Female Master for survival; the Female Master’s emotional fluctuations and physical health directly impacted their life state.

If Selene Kane died or collapsed due to experimentation, then they would wither away as well.

This was no alarmist talk; it was an iron law engraved in their genes!

"Now the Female Master doesn’t love us anymore, how are we different from being useless?"

As these words left his mouth, Evan Sinclair’s tears finally burst forth.

He was not afraid of death, nor did he fear pain.

Since childhood, taught to depend on the Female Master, the meaning of their existence was closely linked to the other’s emotions.

Once they lost the love of the Female Master, their vitality would swiftly drain away.

This wasn’t weakness, but a physiological reality.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want independence, but they simply couldn’t be independent.

Ethan Sinclair directly howled out.

"I don’t want to be an abandoned husband!"

He knelt on the ground, holding his head in his hands, his shoulders shaking violently.

Tears fell uncontrollably, soaking his collar, his voice hoarse.

He once thought he had found happiness, found a Female Master who genuinely cared for them.

Selene never put on airs, never neglected them, and would even personally cook for them and mend their clothes.

But now, this warmth was torn apart by his biological mother.

He would rather never have felt love at all.

The two of them cried uncontrollably, Lady Lynn watched with a heart that was broken. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

But she couldn’t do anything about it.

She knew she was wrong.

But she couldn’t admit her mistake, nor could she turn back.

These shackles bound her feet tightly, preventing her from following her heart.

She could only watch helplessly as her sons suffered.

Listening to their cries, but unable to utter a single word.

She sat at the desk, covering her face with her hands, tears silently sliding down her cheeks.

The moisture seeping through her fingers became more and more, dripping onto the wooden table.

She tried hard to suppress any sound.

But the suppressed sobs still leaked out intermittently.

This feeling of tearing was more tormenting than death.

Once a contract was signed, a male’s life was in the hands of the Female Master; no outsider could intervene.

This was one of the most basic principles of the world.

Written in legal texts, engraved in the depths of everyone’s soul.

When a contract was formed, a male’s nervous system would form a symbiotic link with the Female Master.

The stability of the Female Master’s emotions directly determined their life and death.

Even if they were nobles, even if they had power and wealth.

This is why a male must carefully choose a Female Master.

Because it was not just a marriage, but a life-binding gamble.

She secretly brought her sons back, already breaking the rules, doing it behind the Empress’s back.

According to the law, a married male cannot leave the Female Master’s side without a major reason for more than seventy-two hours.

Let alone secretly returning to the maternal home, which is tantamount to leaving the contractual relationship.

But she was too worried,

especially after hearing of Selene Kane’s recent abnormal behavior, she could no longer sit still.

So she used her authority to block the news, arranged secret lines for transport, and this was how her two sons safely returned.

But all these actions were acts of defiance.

Once exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If it weren’t for them swearing that Selene Kane was treating them well now, she wouldn’t have softened.

At that moment, she was indeed shaken.

Seeing the long-missed smiles on her sons’ faces, hearing them talk about how considerate Selene Kane was.

She almost wanted to abandon the plan.

She had also been a young Female Master once, understanding the value of emotions.

But just as she hesitated, the academy sent the latest analysis report.

Selene Kane’s genetic sequence had an unknown mutation, likely hiding undiscovered high-level abilities.

This news completely extinguished her last trace of tenderness.

Wrong, all wrong.

She repeated this phrase in her heart over and over.

She thought she was protecting her sons, preventing them from indulging in a doomed relationship.

She thought that with the Osborne Family’s prestige.

She could make Selene Kane hesitant to mistreat her husbands easily.

But she was wrong.

Wrong in underestimating the kindness of a young Female Master.

Wrong in ignoring her sons’ genuine efforts.

More wrong in using power and calculation to measure pure emotions.

She thought that by relying on the Osborne Family’s reputation, she could make the Female Master revere her sons.

That was her initial plan.

To elevate their status through marriage, to consolidate rights through intimidation.

As long as Selene Kane knew they were from the Osborne Family, she would not dare to be negligent.

Even without love, at least they could maintain a dignified life.

But the reality was that Selene Kane didn’t care about family reputation at all.

She didn’t care about background, didn’t care about status, only cared whether they were well-fed, warm, and happy.

But she never expected, Selene Kane was so young, without ambition or schemes, solely focused on making her husbands happy.

She would prepare warm milk for them in the morning.

She didn’t understand tactics, nor did she play tricks.

Her only wish was to make them happy.

Such a person should have been cherished, yet she was treated like a test subject.

Lady Lynn felt that such a Female Master was easy to handle, hence she didn’t expose the misunderstanding.

At that time, she thought, since she had no background and a simple character, even if she discovered the truth in the future, she would not dare to rebel.

At worst, a few words of Calm, some compensation, would smooth over the situation.

She even fantasized that after the experiment was over, her sons could continue to stay by her side.

How laughable such thoughts were.

She turned a blind eye, allowing her sons to suffer grievances.

In reality, she had long noticed their occasional uneasiness.

But since they didn’t mention it, she pretended not to know.

She hoped that the feelings would cool down sooner.

But what she didn’t know was that her indifference and alienation gradually pushed her sons into Selene Kane’s embrace.

Because the understanding they couldn’t find with her,

Selene Kane gave them unreservedly.

She thought this would allow them to extricate themselves in time, not get caught up in emotions.

She fantasized that one day, they would be grateful for her decision today, glad they hadn’t sunk too deep.

But emotions were never a switch, they cannot be turned on and off at will.

When a person truly starts to care about another’s joys and sorrows.

When their lives gradually intertwine into one.

That bond becomes impossible to sever.

But she never anticipated that they would actually fall in love with Selene Kane.

Not out of reliance, not because of the contract.

But genuinely liking her, feeling for her.

The light in their eyes when they talked about her, the smile at their lips when they mentioned her name, all told her.
