Certainly, here’s the translation of the given passage:
I momentarily doubted my ears, but the contempt on the viscount’s face told me everything.
But I bravely brought my small hands together instead.
“Yes, I have to be this greedy to be independent.”
But the people around me couldn’t keep their composure like I did.
“What are you talking about?”
The Duke shouted angrily.
“I didn’t know you were so greedy that you can’t even give an allowance to a child.”
Even the Duchess, who always spoke with refined manners, joined in.
I was quite surprised. Even though the Duchess had wanted a daughter, I didn’t think the Duke and Duchess would raise their voices at a guest and relative because of me.

I would understand if it was because the disregard for me was also a disregard for the Ducal family who adopted me.
While I inwardly shook my head, the viscount, whose face turned red, finally took out his wallet again and gave me a gold coin.
“Are you satisfied now?”
“Yes.”
I was very satisfied as I put the gold coin in my pocket, but the people around me weren’t.
“I’ve heard rumors that the Humphrey family’s business isn’t doing well, but it seems to be true. Now, Reina, let me give you an allowance instead of your uncle.”
The Duke gave me ten gold coins in my chubby hand.
“Reina, it’s a custommade doll. The Humphrey family cannot place an order with this particular craftsman, so I hope you like it.”
The Duchess gestured, and the maids placed a doll next to me that was as tall as I was.
I didn’t need the doll, but when I looked closely at the hem of the doll’s dress, it seemed to be studded with real jewels.

I thought I could resell it for a high price later.
Worried that Kirian would be displeased with my parents’ barrage of gifts, I glanced at him, but fortunately, Kirian was busy glaring at the viscount.
Now I could look at the viscount with new eyes.
He was just a wet blanket.
Come on, show more contempt. Disregard me more!
But no matter how long I waited, the viscount only glared at me with an annoyed face and didn’t open his mouth again. While I was disappointed, dinner ended, and I finally caught sight of Kirian, who was looking closely at the viscount.
Feeling my gaze, Kirian looked at me and smiled innocently. I somehow felt a chill down my spine.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“Kirian, will you sleep with me?”
Finally, as night fell and anxiety set in, I knocked on Kirian’s door.

I had vowed to keep a good distance from Kirian, but that was all ruined because of Olivia. She was unhelpful from the start, and I didn’t like her at first impression.
Kirian rubbed his eyes and yawned softly.
“Huh? Why?”
I couldn’t say, ‘I don’t want to wake up to a dead body in the morning.’
“Ha ha, I’m scared to sleep alone.”
I ended up sticking to a ludicrous reason.
Fortunately, Kirian obediently opened the door. Whether my glimpse of his strange smile in the bathroom was all in my imagination or not, Kirian was the one holding my hand, leading me to the bed.
“You’re a scaredycat, Reina.”
“Yes. Yes, I am.”
Blessed are those who lay down everything.

I sighed deeply and crawled onto Kirian’s bed. To prevent slipping out while sleeping, I tightly grabbed one of Kirian’s arms and closed my eyes. Just as sleep was approaching,
“Reina, why do you like Olivia?”
“Olivia?”
Again, I failed to find a plausible reason and fabricated a shabby one.
“Because she’s cute.”
Though I was blinded by Kirian’s beauty, I flatly lied.
“She was mean to you.”
“Um, there’s a saying that cuteness forgives all? Well, something like that.”
It was a saying more suitable for Kirian than Olivia.
“Then what about me?”

“You’re cool, Kirian.”
I was becoming more shameless.
“Not cute?”
I began to sweat at Kirian’s probing question.
Certainly, I’ll translate the passage as per your guidelines:
“I never thought you were cute, I swear.”
If you pinch your cheeks for being cute, our relationship will go back to the day we first met.
“Hmm. But….”
Kirian was suddenly very quiet. Just as he was about to become anxious again, Kirian yawned slightly and hugged my waist.
“Sleep well, Nuna.”

I felt my cheeks pressed against his shoulder, and I lost my words for a moment at the sudden cuteness that rushed in.
“Sleep well, Kirian.”
Is this what it feels like to be chosen by a cat?
I clenched my fists to keep from crying.
Even knowing what kind of character Kirian becomes later, I was often intoxicated by his cuteness and saw nothing else.
After Olivia left, I closed my eyes, rationalizing that it would be okay to distance myself from Kirian again.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]I was a sister who liked Olivia because she was cute, forgetting who my subordinate was.
I only gave Olivia a proper punishment for tormenting my sister, but I was the only one who was looked at strangely…. There was no more disloyal subordinate than this,
I tried to dig deeper to find out my sister’s true feelings,

Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
