The Choice of a Lifetime

Summary

When the wealthy couple came to the orphanage to choose a child, they hesitated between me and Emily.

A barrage of floating comments scrolled before my eyes:

[The side character is going to act pitiful again just to get adopted.]

[Even if she gets adopted, she'll just be abandoned later.]

[Destined to be unloved and unwanted forever, a typical pick-me girl.]

I lowered my head silently.

Because the "side character" they were talking about was me.

Suddenly, two shadows loomed over me.

A couple never mentioned in the plot looked down at me, their faces full of delight.
