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.
Contemplating Motives
Lucas groans.
He has a cup of coffee in front of him. His free hand is drumming a steady rhythm against the tabletop. He hasn't touched his coffee yet.
This is remarkable, because Lucas loves his morning coffee.
I watch him over my own glass. "Is something wrong?"
Lucas makes a sound of frustration. "I've just...I don't understand what that crazy woman's thinking. Is this a trap?"
Roland rests his chin in his hand, gazing over the table in a faux-thoughtful way that I know means he isn't really thinking at all. "Likely is. If that woman's anything she's clever."
Valentine crosses his arms.
His voice is terse.
"Well, if it is a trap, then just ignore it. I still don't know who this woman is."
Lucas gives him an impatient, annoyed look. "Valentine."
"Yes?" Valentine feigns innocence, which makes Lucas bristle.
I exhale through my nose.
Those two never seem to get along, do they?
