It’s Way Better Than I Thought!

I was reincarnated into a childcare novel and met the male lead, who was having a miserable childhood.

Even if I left him alone, he would naturally walk the flower-lined road to success, but the sight of that small child trembling with a split lip kept bothering me, so I rescued him.

Since I’d gone to the trouble of taking him out, I also saved the duke and duchess, who were about to die young while desperately searching for their missing child, and returned the male lead to them.

"Ruwen. I really like you."

"Yeah, I like you too."

"Mm!"

After that, the child liked me far too much.

It was a little uncomfortable having a child cling to me, but since it was prettier to see him smile than cry, I humored him appropriately.

No matter how much he followed me around saying he liked me now, once he grew up later, he wouldn’t even acknowledge me, anyway.

Five years later,

"You’re so pretty today, Ruwen. I like you so much. I really like you."

"Mm."

Ten years later...

"Arwen, congratulations on your graduation. I like you."

"Y-yeah."

No, hey. Hold on. Why do you still like me?

And in the middle of all this, this gently raised boy, like a daffodil, proposed to me. Naturally, I was horrified.

I was the daughter of a minor baron, and he was the heir to a ducal family. No matter how much the duke and duchess doted on me, there was no way they’d accept that...

"Arwen, welcome. The treasury is over there, and the key is here."

"Good heavens, Ruwen is becoming my daughter-in-law! Now I, ah, no, this father-in-law can die with no regrets, child!"

...They did.
