Returner Fantasy
Chapter 199: Just Friends - Part 9
Back inside their hotel room, Klea continued to sit in silence on the bed, still in shocked after seeing her boyfriend right after her intimacy with Jeff—confused about what Liam might be doing at the hotel together with their friends, Anna and Ross.
At the same time, her guilt over slowly falling for Jeff and cheating on Liam weighed down her heart and conscience.
Jeff, meanwhile, sat beside Klea, fiddling with the laptop he had been carrying in his bag.

Claiming the reward from Quest 34 gave Jeff access to the proof of Liam’s cuckolding.
Which meant that right now, somewhere in another room in the hotel, Liam was being cuckolded, watching the intimacy between his childhood friend and another man.
Jeff didn’t know Liam, Anna, and Ross’s circumstances yet—not until he had time to look into Liam’s Archive, which was the reward for Quest 33.
As for the proof of Liam’s cuckolding, the Returner Fantasy System allowed Jeff to upload what he could see through the holographic screen at the corner of his vision onto his laptop.
That was why he was pretending to set up his Decryption Program—the same program he had created using knowledge from 12 years into the future, which he had used to unlock Trud’s laptop and access the records of his crimes.
Jeff could use the same program to access the hotel’s system and retrieve camera footage.
However, the hotel they were currently staying in had a good reputation and did not violate customers’ privacy by installing hidden cameras inside rooms, which was also Jeff’s reason for choosing it.
Still, it wasn’t like Jeff was lying without reason.
"Do you want to see what they were doing, Klea?" he said, pretending that he had already finished setting up his laptop.
"What do you mean, Jeff?" Klea replied, looking at him with teary eyes, on the verge of crying from guilt.
While Jeff consoled her—embracing her, patting her head, and caressing her back as they sat together on the bed—he gave a half-lie, half-truth explanation.
He told her that his Decryption Program could access all devices connected to a single system. In their case, that meant he could access information from devices connected to the hotel’s free Wi-Fi.
It was a half-truth, and for a moment, Klea—being a computer systems engineering student like Jeff—felt more shocked that he had created such an advanced program than she was about seeing Liam.
However, the half-lie in Jeff’s explanation only increased her disbelief regarding Liam.
If the hotel didn’t have hidden cameras in the rooms, then it meant someone was recording a video inside Liam’s room using a smartphone connected to the hotel’s free Wi-Fi.
"Are you saying..." Klea murmured, refusing to believe what she had already figured out.
"That’s right. The video is from Liam’s smartphone," Jeff said, fully intending to trash Liam, put all the blame on him, and take Klea for himself.
Still, Jeff wouldn’t force Klea to witness something that might hurt her, even if it was for her own sake—to help her sort out her feelings for Liam and end their relationship.
Klea remained silent for a while, yet her embrace around Jeff tightened with every passing second as she buried her face in his chest to muffle the sound of her crying.
It took some time for her to calm down before she finally raised her face, looking anxious and scared, and gave her response to Jeff’s earlier question.
"Please show me the truth, Jeff."
***
The video was taken from an angle as if the camera had been placed on the wall just below the ceiling, capturing a wide view of the entire room and everyone inside.
Anna was a girl of slightly below-average height with a cute face that matched her blonde bob-cut hair, though her chest was larger than it appeared at first glance.
Ross, meanwhile, was a tall man with a muscular build, blond hair, and dark-toned skin.
Even if Klea had remarked that Ross was a good guy—good enough for the four of them to go on double dates during their high school days—seeing him roughly take Anna made Jeff slightly suspicious.
Growing more curious about Liam, Anna, and Ross’s circumstances, Jeff decided to check Liam’s Archive through the Returner Fantasy System.
To his surprise, Ross had indeed cuckolded Liam and taken Anna from him through more intense and satisfying intimacy than Liam had ever managed.
Ross genuinely liked Anna, but at the same time, he enjoyed tormenting Liam by sending him videos of their intimacy. This eventually led to Liam developing a cuckold fetish, even before he and Klea started dating.
Even now, with Klea still refusing his demand to be NTR’d, Liam had asked Ross to convince Anna to let him watch their intimacy—even offering to pay—just so he could indulge his fetish and relive the pleasure of being cuckolded from the day his childhood friend was taken from him.
While Jeff read Liam’s Archive, holding Klea in his arms, Klea continued watching the video of Anna and Ross together in bed, with Liam sitting on the couch, touching himself with an erection she had never seen before during their few times of intimacy.
"Sob... sob..."
Her cries once again escaped her trembling lips as tears fell from her eyes.
Not because of the insult that Liam had never been fully aroused with her, nor because of her growing disgust toward the man she had fallen for—whom she once believed to be more upright than others—even compared to men who wanted her to be part of their harem, including Jeff.
What truly broke Klea’s heart was the realization that she was watching the very scene Liam had wanted—him touching himself while watching her be taken by another man.
Hearing Klea cry, Jeff set aside Liam’s Archive, deciding that she had seen enough.
He reached from behind her and closed the laptop before gently guiding her to turn and face him. He tightened his embrace as she hugged him, burying her face in his chest to muffle her cries once more.
***
"Now that we both know the truth, I won’t let you go back to him... no matter what."
Although it might have sounded possessive, as if he were restricting her freedom, Klea felt comforted by his affection.
"Even if you still have feelings for him, you’ll be mine and mine alone, Klea."
Jeff continued with those dominating words, knowing that what Klea needed right now wasn’t mere sympathy, but proof that he truly desired her.
Still, Jeff now knew the truth—that Klea had been hiding the fact that Liam had asked her to be NTR’d, and that she had lied about Liam not coming back yet after returning home for the weekend.
He needed Klea to confess everything to him on her own.
After all...

While Klea was crying, two new quests from the Returner Fantasy System flashed on the holographic screen.
Although the objectives were broad and lacked specific instructions, the titles alone gave Jeff an idea of what he needed to do.
He continued to comfort her as they lay down on the bed, embracing each other.
Once Klea calmed down enough to raise her face and look at him with swollen eyes, Jeff proceeded with his plan.
"I’m not going to let other men touch you ever again," he said, not realizing he was referring to his own past—and her supposed future before his regression.
"So you can trust me and tell me anything."
Despite not fully understanding his confusing remarks, Klea confessed everything—that Liam had demanded she agree to be NTR’d or he would break up with her, and that he had been ignoring her until she gave in.
Without the reward from Quest 35—Klea’s Archive—Jeff wouldn’t know the full truth of what had happened, or what was supposed to happen to her, which would have led to her committing suicide after Liam abandoned her.
Still, despite how foolish he had been with the girls he loved, Jeff at least understood the core of Klea’s suffering.
Here’s the corrected version with improved grammar and smoother flow while keeping your original meaning:
There had been no one to save her when Liam disgraced her—not even him, who had been a fool in his original timeline after failing to protect Jess, Veena, and Nubia, and who had even relied on her to satisfy his lustful desire.
"I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you..." Jeff said, failing to hold back his tears as he embraced Klea tightly and buried his face in her shoulder.
Seeing Jeff cry for her, the last thread of guilt holding her back from letting go of Liam and fully accepting Jeff finally snapped.
"We’ve cried enough..." Klea said as she hugged him, patting his head and caressing his back the same way he had comforted her earlier.
"Let’s go home, Jeff."
