I found myself reincarnated as the mother of Ain Spenner, the villain from a novel. In the original story, I was meant to be a cruel stepmother who mistreated him as a child, only to be killed by him when he grew up. But when I saw his innocent, chubby little face—his tiny fingers still in his mouth—I couldn’t believe anyone could hurt him. “No way,” I thought. “He’s too adorable!”
The child was so sweet that I couldn’t imagine him turning into a villain. So I made up my mind—I would protect him. If I took care of him now, maybe he’d protect me later.

Ain glared coldly at Duke Cassius. “I told you not to touch me.”
“Why should I listen to you?” the duke shot back.
Tension crackled between them. “You never even cared about her,” Ain said.
The duke’s eyes widened in shock. Did Ain see Roselia as more than just a mother? Cassius couldn’t believe it.
“Stop scaring her,” Ain warned. “She might run away.”
The fear in his voice was clear—he was terrified she’d leave and never return.
Duke Cassius was stunned. His own son… obsessed with Roselia?
