I Became the Male Lead’s Adopted Daughter

Count Urmariti’s invitation was appreciated.

It wasn’t that it made her uncomfortable.

But Leonia knew that Count Urmariti had a new wife now, and children from that ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) remarriage.

She recalled the story Kara once told her.

At the time, Kara had said Regina didn’t have any siblings.

Leonia had brushed it off then, but now that she thought about it, it probably meant Regina’s relationship with the children from her father’s second marriage had been awkward.

Besides, the Countess Urmariti she had met at the tea gathering had been a kind, good woman. Close even to Countess Bosgruni.

“Hmm...”

After some thought, Leonia declined the offer.

“It’s not just that I’d feel uneasy around your family... I think staying at your estate could create some misunderstandings.”

The fact that Leonia was Regina’s daughter was a secret that could never be revealed.

Not even the smallest seed of misunderstanding could be allowed to take root—at least that was Leonia’s thinking.
