Harem Stealer: Reborn with the God-Tier Sharing System

Sari instinctively squealed as she activated her talent, suddenly disappearing from the view of reality.

Noah's lips twitched before he smiled awkwardly, "If anyone heard you, they'd think an intruder broke in," he said while shaking his head in disbelief.

Why did she shout like that?

Noah was almost offended by this. Okay—he was truly offended.

But Sari hadn't even done it on purpose. She had simply been caught off guard by seeing Noah in her own room right after she'd finished bathing. And seeing how Noah had been staring at her… she got shy and squealed.

And now, she felt bad about it. Ashamed to even appear again in front of him.

'Fortunately, all rooms have a sound barrier… otherwise, I wouldn't know how to explain this to the other girls,' Sari thought inwardly, heaving an imaginary sigh of relief.

She didn't even dare to sigh openly.

What she didn't know, though, was that even Noah was kind of ashamed. He shouldn't have entered a lady's room like this just because it was his house or anything of that sort.

Especially if that woman wasn't his wife.

He sighed.

"I'm sorry," he suddenly said, his voice tinged with a hint of remorse. "I shouldn't have entered this room so abruptly without announcing my presence."

He chuckled stiffly.

"I didn't know I lacked such manners as a man," he added as he awkwardly sat on the soft bedside, gently grazing his cheek with his palm.

Noah was surprisingly shy around Sari. He didn't know why, but he always felt like he had to be extra careful when dealing with her.

Well… actually, he did know why. He just didn't want to admit it out loud.

What he didn't know, however, was that Sari didn't quite like this.

"Why…?" Sari's voice echoed through the room, still invisible.

Noah didn't even try to locate her with his senses, though he easily could have. It looked like they had a tacit understanding, talking this way.

At her question, Noah tilted his head, confused.

"Why are you acting like this around me? So reserved, so awkward… so shy?"

"Is it because of what happened to me? Are you pitying me? Or blaming yourself for that incident?" she asked with a bitter chuckle.

"Don't be, Noah. I've already moved on."

And without even noticing it, her voice suddenly turned cold.

Noah felt it instantly and it was like a sharp, divine spear had just stabbed through his heart, making breathing feel like a luxury for a moment.

'What did I do…?' he wondered as his thoughts spun in dizzying circles.

He had made a very basic—but lethal—mistake.

He treated Sari differently from the others. No… he was different with Sari compared to how he was with his other wives.

And that was a fatal mistake.

If it had been something that happened before she was raped, then fine—no issue. But after she was raped? You changed your attitude?

Even if it was out of good intentions, she would still take it badly—because in that moment, she didn't want to be treated differently. She wanted to be treated like before, so that she wouldn't feel… different.

So that she'd know that her being raped didn't change anything about how Noah saw her.

She didn't want pity.

Especially not from Noah.

'Damned idiot Noah!' he berated himself, feeling stupid for such an obvious mistake but now the act was done.

I have to turn the situation around!

His mind urged him to find a way out and soon, he found a lead.

He took a deep breath, and slowly, a faint smile crept onto his lips.

"You're misunderstanding, dear mother-in-law," Noah said as he sat more comfortably on the bed, his voice calm and measured.

"You're thinking I'm doing all this because of what Bari did to you, but—tut tut tut—it's not the case," he said while shaking his head.

Sari—from her invisible state—was watching Noah with an expression full of doubt.

Clearly, she didn't believe him.

But Noah wasn't done yet.

"I was acting like this because I was lost… about how I should approach you on this delicate matter. The matter of…"

A smile as soft as molten snow appeared on his lips.

"…the matter of becoming one of my wives."

BADUM—!

The moment his words echoed, Sari's heart skipped a beat—then started to beat so fast she was afraid it would leap out of her chest at this rate.

"You see, it's exactly because of this situation that I was hesitating. I didn't want you to think I made this decision out of guilt for what happened to you. No, Sari. You know me better than that."

"Do I look like someone who would engage himself to a woman if I didn't have feelings for her?"

The answer was yes.

But that was only back at the beginning of his journey, when he needed every bit of power he could get.

But now… now Noah only chose to be with those he loved.

And like magic, his words began to take effect—because Sari had to admit, it was the truth. With how successful Noah was, he didn't need to do all this.

'Does that mean…?'

Sari didn't dare finish the sentence.

Because she was afraid… afraid that all this was a dream. A product of her imagination and desperation to be held by Noah.

Yes, she longed for it.

She had passed many nights pathetically thinking about how good she and Noah would look together.

No one would've thought Sari had such a romantic side. Hell, not even she had known it.

But I guess you never truly know until your heart is captured by a devilishly handsome bastard with too many wives to count… and among them… her daughter.

Yes, Sari was hesitating.

Not just because she felt like, with how her body had been sullied by that bitch, Noah shouldn't touch her…

But also because her daughter was with him.

You could've thought that being in such a degenerate place where mother and daughter were fucked by the same man would make her feel less averse to this—which, actually, it did—but there were still some things left.

Noah sensed her hesitation, and he knew it wouldn't be easy to dispel all of it with how deep those roots went.

To this kind of situation, Noah preferred to go the route of love…

Or more accurately: obsession.

After all, only obsession can overdrive rationality.

"Tell me, Sari… do you love me?"

"Because as for me…"

He smiled.

"I am madly in love with you."

Once again, Sari's heart skipped a beat but this time, it was so much that her power wavered and her invisibility was undone.

She fell on the ground as she appeared before Noah, still with her towel wrapped tightly around her.

She raised her head awkwardly and looked at him, her face painted with a furious blush.

Noah couldn't help but chuckle.

"Sari… you are truly too cute."
