Chapter 3Reborn: The Male Lead Returns

【Wait, what’s happening? Did I miss something? Why did she give the black card to someone else?】

【Dude, even if you take the card, it’s useless. The villainess only has eyes for the male lead. She’d never look at anyone else in this life.】

【It’s just a tactic. Playing hard to get. Pfft, the ML won’t fall for it.】

Sean froze. Freshly reborn, his eyes held a flicker of disbelief and confusion. It seemed he hadn't realized that this life’s script was already deviating from the last. But with his true love right in front of him, and the shock of death and the joy of rebirth still overwhelming his mind, he didn't dwell on it.

I enthusiastically invited the handsome stranger to dinner. The semester had just started, so I didn't recognize many faces. As for Sean, I'd only heard whispers from other students that he still hadn't scraped together his tuition money. That's why I'd kindly offered the card, intending to ask if he'd be my boyfriend. His chiseled face was exactly my type, enough to make my hormones get the better of me.

Perhaps, in the last life, I truly did love Sean.

But in this one, that love was snuffed out before it even had a chance to bloom.

I had money. Endless amounts of it. I was the sole heiress to the Sterling fortune. A princess who had never been wronged in her life.

Why would I waste my time on a lost cause? A relationship is a relationship, no matter who it's with. And the handsome guy holding my black card now? He was totally my type, too.

I chose the most expensive restaurant near campus. I frowned as I flipped through the menu, then tossed it to the waiter. "Bring us one of everything on your signature menu."

The waiter scurried away, beaming.

Just then, the restaurant doors swung open, drawing everyone's attention. I glanced over.

It was the reborn male lead, with his beloved childhood sweetheart on his arm.
