### Summary
The narrative continues to pivot on the intense dramatic irony of Felix's obliviousness, a source of extreme exasperation for the readership. Despite knowing Isaac is the assassin Kaysid and being confronted with glaring clues—such as Benjamin's age and resemblance—he remains comically unable to connect Isaac to the omega from their past or deduce his own paternity. This ongoing failure has solidified his reputation as a "dumbest smart person." The chapter's most significant development is Isaac's shocking offer to become Felix's "dog," a statement of subservience that readers met with dismay and disbelief. The consensus is that Felix desires a husband and partner, not a subordinate, making Isaac's proposition a heartbreaking misreading of the situation. This has intensified the debate around the "secret child" trope, with the audience now forcefully urging Isaac to reveal the truth, arguing that Felix has proven his devotion and has a right to know about his son. Amid the still-unresolved confrontation with Isaac's stepfather, Cole, readers speculate that the villain now likely believes Felix is Benjamin's biological father, a deduction that could force Isaac's omega status into the open. The community remains caught in a state of high tension, agonizing over the characters' inability to communicate while anticipating the fallout from both the physical threat and the inevitable, long-delayed revelation.
