I Think My Daughter Has Regressed (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 71
Ariel lifted her head slightly as she put the main dish into her mouth.
Across from her, Lucy was diligently cutting her steak, and when Ariel shifted her gaze sideways, she saw Damian quietly watching Lucy.
Just as Ariel had pretended not to care about her father’s story, it was clear that Lucy was still seriously upset with her dad.
Trying her best to avoid mentioning their argument, Ariel steered the conversation toward a suitable topic between daughter and husband.
“Hmm, how about we talk about the book Lucy was reading this morning? Mom’s really curious—earlier today, the butler mentioned our Lucy was reading a book.”
“I read a story about a hero who defeats monsters.”
“Really? That sounds fun! How was it? Mom would be so happy if our Lucy told her about it.”
Thanks to Lucy mentioning she’d been reading, Ariel quickly brought up the book.
Lucy, who had been cutting her steak, set down her knife and cast a sidelong glance at Damian.
“The hero hasn’t defeated the monster yet. I’ll tell you once I finish reading.”
It was obvious Lucy was comparing the monster to Damian, yet despite her pointed look and tone, Damian merely nodded, seeming not to take the child’s words seriously.
Lucy picked up her knife again and focused intently on cutting her steak.
Ariel quickly gave Damian a meaningful look and moved her lips silently.
“It’s about you! Talk to Lucy a little.”
But Damian merely arched an eyebrow calmly and tilted his head as if completely failing to understand Ariel’s silent cue.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
Why… God damn I detest this cliché where a previously intelligent and people-intuitive fl turns into an absolute moron, who goes out of her way to cause a major misunderstanding in front of a crowd. No bonus points for humiliating her partner. Maybe I’ll just skip a few chapters.
I do hope so. That guy’s an utter loser who deserves neither sympathy nor pity.
“What the worst that could happen?”, he asked of Murphy, Prophet of the Law.
