Chapter 490

[Congratulations, host. Harem breakdown: 50% complete.]
I pause my brush in front of the canvas.
What? How did that happen?
Was it Kai?
The system shows me the recent events, and my mouth is left open.
My initial plan was to have the female lead suspect something was going on between Diana and Kai. To push Kai toward Diana. To have him feel the safety of a family. It was working too. He would often seek her out, pretending it was for his son. Then he would feel guilty, of course, and go back.
Because I might be a bad person—with no regard for morals and human life sometimes—but I'm not a monster. I would never put a child in harm's way.
I'm starting to think none of my plans ever succeed.
But why the fuck would she watch a child get hurt and just sit there watching? That's a different kind of evil.
