Chapter 757 Overthinking
And that was exactly what was happening to Hera now. While occasional troubles popped up here and there, they were all manageable. But how could a novel remain on a constant flatline where everything was just sweet and perfect?
Now that her relationships with the male leads were at their sweetest, Hera figured it was only a matter of time before the male leads’ fiancées started appearing one after another to stir up trouble—just as they had for Alice in the novel.
And once Alice successfully dealt with them and pushed them out of the picture, that hidden variable would finally make its move.
"Hmmm, dealing with their fiancées, huh? Why do I have to do this? It should be their responsibility to clean up their own messes with the opposite gender," Hera mumbled, the bitter taste of frustration lingering on her tongue.
Athena, overhearing the fragments of her words, couldn’t help but feel a sense of understanding.
"Now that I think about it, we’ve been veering off the original storyline from the very start. The butterfly effect must have kicked in long ago, and so many things have happened that never occurred in the original plot. Do you think those fiancées will still come after you to stir up trouble? Or have your lovers already handled it on their own?"
"If I remember correctly, Luke would typically step aside to watch the drama unfold—watching the catfight between the woman he sleeps with, which was the female lead, and the fiancée his family arranged for him."
"Do you think he’ll do the same now? After all, it’s in the blood of male leads’ who are arrogant, looking down on almost everything. And while Luke might act gentlemanly and kind on the surface, we both know he’s just as dark and psychotic as the main villain of the story."
"So it wouldn’t be surprising if he enjoyed watching you go toe-to-toe with his supposed fiancée before stepping in to ’save’ you..." Athena joked, but there was truth in every word, and Hera couldn’t refute anything she said.
