"Felix, you really do everything quietly. I already know about the situation at the orphanage. I didn't dare tell Sherlyn. She would definitely have cried her heart out," Ernest said.

He patted Felix on the shoulder.

"Now that I see you're as healthy as they say, even if you've lost your martial skills, I'm finally a bit relieved. You won't blame me for not calling, will you?"

Felix chuckled. "Listen to you, sir. It's not that big a deal. Keeping it from Sherlyn was a wise choice."

Experienced, Ernest quickly understood what Felix meant.

He quickly changed the topic. "Felix, tomorrow is my birthday. You must come to the party."

"I wouldn't miss it for the world! I'll definitely be there!
