Rise of the White Dragon – Chapter 284: Rikka Is Hungry

Chapter 284: Rikka Is Hungry

Even as a surprise, Ingrid didn’t panic… Okay, she did. After all, she had also gone back in time. What if her case was similar to Luan’s and this in fact was her daughter? Damn, she was so confused. That possibility also crossed Luan’s mind.

Nora smiled happily at that. If so, maybe she still has a chance. After all, her case was similar to hers in a way. So what right does she have to judge her. Also, if this was Ingrid’s daughter, it was obviously not related to Luan.

Luan saw Ingrid’s distress, and hugged her. “It’s okay.” That was all she wanted to hear most. Somehow her uneasiness, her insecurity calmed down.

‘If he accepts, that’s what matters,’ she thought.

But the more she looked at Little Rikka; the more Ingrid thought of her sister.

‘Maybe, just maybe…’ She muttered in her mind.

After they calmed down, Ingrid squatted down to Little Rikka’s level and asked gently, “Rikka, what’s your mommy’s name?”

“Mommy, it’s Mommy…” She put her finger to her mouth in confusion, but then added, “But, many called Mommy Empress Monica or Empress of the Night.”

“I knew it!” Ingrid was relieved, but even a little, if only a little, disappointed. Having such a cute daughter wouldn’t have been all that bad, especially with Luan’s consent, especially after seeing that he still looked at her with the same loving gaze. Now that she knew that this girl was possibly related to her sister, she felt even more thrilled to know that even had she been her daughter, Luan wouldn’t leave her.

Luan chuckled a little at her reaction. But, he was honest. He didn’t intend to break up with Ingrid even if this girl were her biological child. He didn’t care what happened in Ingrid’s previous life, since he was living in the now. Nora felt disappointed but didn’t show it.

Little Rikka was confused by their reaction. She placed her index finger on her small lips, trying to understand why they were wearing so many strange expressions. Failing to understand, she gave up. She grabbed Ingrid’s T-shirt sleeve and said, “Mommy, mommy, I’m hungry~”

Ingrid came out of her stupor, and said in a gentle voice, “It’s okay, baby. I have something delicious for you.”

She took out a piece of cake first. Wrapping it in a paper towel, she took Little Rikka’s little hands to hold. With a small bite, Little Rikka’s rosy-red eyes sparkled like stars. “Delicious! Very tasty. Mom, are you better at cooking?” It was a genuine question, which made Ingrid more certain that this cute creature was possibly her sister’s daughter, who had zero talent in cooking.

Ingrid had a bold idea. She looked at Luan, and she was dumbfounded as he seemed to understand what she meant until she hears him say softly, “Okay, I agree.”

“I didn’t even say anything,” Ingrid muttered with a pout.

“I know what you’re thinking. I agree with that,” Luan smiled, “Isn’t she cute? Heavens, didn’t you want a child? Although not as planned, this might work for now, yes?”

“Yes! Yes.” Ingrid nodded, then she smiled happily.

Crouching down again, she wiped the cake-smeared corner of her mouth, then she said, “Little Rikka, I’ll be your mother, okay?”

“Mm?” Those words left Little Rikka full of question marks in her mind. “Mommy, weren’t you Rikka’s mommy already?”

“Hehe, yes, I’m your mother.” Ingrid made no effort to resolve the misunderstanding. For now it worked. Later when the situation improved, she could tell the truth.

“Mm. Mom is Rikka’s mom, so weird~” She stuck out her tongue and continued happily eating the cake.

Luan chuckled as he watched their interaction and Ingrid’s embarrassed look. Despite Nora’s initial unhappiness, she was heartbroken at Little Rikka’s cuteness. She even pinched her cheek, full of cake, which looked like a little squirrel’s, and found her reaction cute, looking at her all annoyed.

“Hahaha, very cute indeed.” Nora laughed and stopped bothering the girl.

Little Rikka cast a suspicious look. She thought Nora wanted to steal her cake, so she hid behind Ingrid and ate the cake faster. Seeing this, Ingrid laughed aloud as she saw Nora’s troubled gaze. It was so satisfying, she couldn’t measure it in mere words.

“Luan, after we leave, what do you think about going back to land?” Ingrid spoke softly.

“Do you want to confirm something, yes?” Luan didn’t specify, but it was easy for Ingrid to understand.

“Yes, if she can get there…” She didn’t need to finish. It was the same situation as Lenore, who managed to go through the tower.

“Mm.” Luan nodded.

Nora couldn’t go through the tower. Although she was little disappointed, she had other matters to take care of. As Queen of the Vampires, she would have to manage some things after being away for so long.

“This chest, let’s open it?” Ingrid pointed.

“Oh, these are Rikka’s toys. Did you forget Mommy?” Little Rikka looked surprised by what Ingrid said, as if it was obvious that her toys were in the trunk.

Ingrid made up an excuse. “Mom lost her memories, so I’m acting weird.”

“Oh…” Little Rikka was sad to hear this, but just because her mom was still alive, it made her happy. “Rikka understands, Mom, be okay, okay? Rikka loves Mommy a lot, and she will help her get better!” She hugged Ingrid like a hurricane, causing Ingrid to have tears in her eyes. Seriously, this girl was just too adorable! Ingrid wanted to claim her for herself! Oh wait, she has already done that…

‘My sister is a child these days. It’s not right for her to be a mother now, is it? Umu, I’m just going to take care of my niece as a mother. Yes, I’m doing what’s right!’ Ingrid comforted herself.

As they were just Little Rikka’s toys, Ingrid just placed the chest directly into the storage ring.

“Since there is nothing else here, let’s go out,” Nora said. She had already taken everything of value, intending to share it later.

Luan and Ingrid nodded. Ingrid took Little Rikka in her arms. Although she was a little cold, Ingrid didn’t mind. Using her Qi, she struggled to keep Little Rikka warm.
