I Became the Male Lead’s Adopted Daughter

Leonia hadn’t thought much of meeting Lady Hieina.

Of course, she was aware she’d upset her father.

But she figured it was nothing serious—just something they could laugh off with a few jokes, like always.

How badly could I be scolded anyway? A bit of cuteness, and she was sure he’d let it slide as he always did.

Ferio had always backed down. Even when scolding her, the worst he did was pinch her nose.

That was her fatal miscalculation.

As a rookie father, Ferio had always held back his anger, afraid that he might scare her. That’s how precious she was to him.

But this time, Ferio had truly made up his mind to discipline her.

Not only had she met with someone dangerous, but she’d also ridden a horse on her own, even though she wasn’t used to it.

Ferio’s worry had far surpassed his limits of patience.

His fiercely contorted face looked agonizing.

Leonia’s heart ached.
