I Will Refuse the Villainous Father’s Proposal

She possessed the body of the villain’s tutor from the dark romance fantasy novel she used to love reading, [My Childhood Friend Became the Villain.]
Yes, it would have been perfect if she could just live as an ordinary extra—Extra No. 1, a simple tutor—like everyone else.
But the person she possessed was an extra who gets killed by the protagonists of this novel.
Fortunately, she only signed a three-year contract as the villain’s tutor.
With this life she’d regained, she will survive without dying!
During the time she has left, she needs to either stop the villain from turning dark—or save up money and run away before he does.
She was certain she could manage that. At least, until Cedric, the villain’s father, said those words to her.

“How on earth did you do it? You stop Mikael from crying every single time.”

She set Mikael down from her arms and rose from her seat. Then she politely folded her hands and replied,

“I merely did what I was supposed to—”

…!
Before she could finish speaking, Cedric suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her toward him.

“Alicia, would you consider becoming my wife?”

He used to laugh at her and call her amusing, and now he’s proposing just because she made a child stop crying? Ridiculous.
She’d rather grow old and die alone than marry a man like that.
She forced down the words that almost slipped out and gently pulled her hand free from his grasp.

“Thank you for the offer, but I must refuse. I am not someone worthy of being chosen by you, Your Grace.”

And besides, she absolutely hates men who already have a child.
