In My Next Life I'll Win the Heart of the Male Lead
There's nothing wrong with Adelaide's life. There's nothing wrong with being cheated on. After all, half of marriages end in divorce and most end from infidelity. There's nothing wrong with getting addicted to an otome game. After all, everybody has something they're obsessed with. There's nothing wrong with reincarnating as the villainess instead of the heroine. After all, the villainess is richer and more powerful. There's nothing wrong with the villainess chasing after one of the love interests. After all, it's not like he's the canon route. There's nothing wrong with Ophelia's life.
A night's domestic
Reflexively, I reach out and pluck up the young girl, settling her on my lap to defuse her anger.
May sniffs, and her lip wobbles before she looks up at me with angry tears in her eyes. "You like bugs, right?"
"I do like the glowy bugs. Don't you?"
She nods fervently. "'Course! They're...they're so cool...and tickly on your hand!!"
May laughs, making her final comment into a teasing singsong to Lucas, before she resumes hugging me and nestling her face against me. "They're tickly."
She huffs out a satisfied breath and relaxes, settling back on me contently.
Lucas gives a nod of acceptance to the proclamation, seeming to concede the argument. "Very true."
His expression is impassive, and he leans forward with his elbows on the table to rest his chin in both of his hands.
Meanwhile, Valentine watches the scene with a smirk. "I'm with the kid. They're way more annoying than scary."
