Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 272
Chapter 272
However, Vincent didn’t bat an eye. He still remembered the grudge of having to walk around with one eyebrow burnt off.
“He’s a baby. Although his body grows quickly, he’s only one year old.”
“But technically, isn’t he a reptile? You wouldn’t call a one-year-old lizard a baby.”
What!
Luca’s eyes flared with anger, but this time, he restrained himself from breathing fire. He was already falling behind, and he didn’t want to lose points in front of Aria.
‘The plan is flawless.’
Luca wanted to get rid of the child. However, he didn’t want to see Aria hurt, and as a divine creature, he didn’t want to take a life.
‘There’s only one option left.’
When the child is born, he will secretly take it away and hide it in a place where no one can find it.
‘Human babies are said to come out after ten months.’
Luca had already decided what to do during this time. He just needed to thoroughly prepare the plan and refine his abilities.
The dragon’s eyes, staring quietly at Aria’s belly, glinted with determination.
“Don’t say strange things. Regardless of what the species is, Luca is a baby.”
At that moment, Aria scolded Vincent and hugged Luca tightly.
“This is my baby that I brought and raised.”
At that moment, Luca’s ears touched Aria’s belly. Faint thumping sounds reached the dragon’s ears that was similar to Sirens but not quite as sensitive.
It was the sound of a heartbeat.
‘A baby’s heartbeat.’
Luca stiffened.
And like a fool, he forgot the plan he had been formulating in his mind.
The heart, what was it like?
Luca’s heart had already formed in the egg before he was born. So, it was natural to hear the heartbeat of the baby.
‘Why am I surprised?’
His own reaction seemed absurd to him.
But he felt a bit annoyed, knowing why.
‘There was a baby…’
Even being so close, Aria’s belly remained small. It was hard to believe she was pregnant.
If there was a baby inside, it must be incredibly, unbelievably small…
‘Even though it’s so tiny, the heart is beating.’
The reality of a living being hit Luca vividly.
Luca had to get rid of it.
This noisy, vibrant proclamation of life…
‘What’s the big deal about a heartbeat? Didn’t my heart make a fuss when it used to beat? I had my noisy days too.’
Luca was startled by his own thoughts.
Then, secretly glaring at Aria, he threatened the baby in his mind.
‘Hey, quiet down, will you? Keep your heartbeat down when I’m still being nice.’
“Luca, you too.”
The arrow that had been aimed at Vincent returned to Luca.
The dragon, who had been growling to himself for a moment, involuntarily twitched with a strong reaction.
“Mya?”
Then, innocently blinking, he pretended nothing happened.
Seeing this drastic change in expression, Vincent muttered, ‘What’s up with that?. He had intended to observe how far it would go.
“I don’t know much about dragon habits, but humans never leave their parents’ side when they’re babies.”
“….”
“You were born a dragon, but you’re going to grow up by my side like a human. Got it?”
Aria looked into Luca’s eyes and spoke firmly.
Luca was extremely taken aback.
Whenever Aria looked at him, she always had a sweet smile with an expression that made him melt.
It was the first time she had such an expression and tone.
‘Rather, I like it.’
Is she scolding him? Out of love? Luca blushed, dropped his gaze and mumbled in a feigned sulky tone.
“Mya…”
“Even if you make that face, it’s useless. Promise me you won’t go out without saying anything again. No, promise to stick by my side until you grow up.”
“Myamyamyaaa…”
With teary eyes, Luca used the language of ‘mya’ that only Aria could understand.
What he just said meant, “But Noah’s descendant never allowed me near Aria….”
“Ah, right. Well said.”
“Mya?”
“Last time, I almost let it slide because I made a mistake too, but this time, I’ll really scold Lloyd thoroughly.”
Luca’s silent runaway from home was quite shocking for Aria.
Aria huffed, looking quite angry.
Instead of consoling with empty words like last time, she seemed ready to scold him severely enough to bring tears.
It was a result that pleased Luca very much.
‘Hehe.’
Vincent glanced at the grinning dragon and casually dropped a comment.
“Your mouth is going to tear.”
With a fresh, annoying smile on his face, as if deliberately irritating someone.
‘Who cares if my mouth tears or not!’
And the dragon’s mouth was originally torn open, you know?
He has been looking at Luca for a while, he must have missed the taste of fire coming out of the torn mouth, right? Was his eyebrows not enough?
‘If it weren’t for Aria, I would have hurled him a firestorm right away.’
It was a pity.
“I’ve been through a lot with Brother too, so please praise me.”
Anyway, he was a crazy person.
Who cares if he’s doing this just to get a petty praise?
Luca turned his head abruptly.
“I don’t know what he’s thinking….”
But then.
Vincent pursed his lips.
Standing behind Aria so she couldn’t hear, he spoke only with the shape of his mouth.
If you harm the child, I will never let you go.
He said that clearly.
While Luca looked somewhat taken aback and widened his eyes, Vincent turned away without a second thought.
Leaving without checking for reactions meant that it was not a statement made on a whim but a firm conviction.
‘That’s why I hate that person.’
Luca thought, while holding Aria’s neck tightly.
