I Became The Stepmother Of An Irrevocable Dark Family

Yes? Ah.
Th-The Duke, right now…”

“Door!”

As if it was a familiar scene, the attendant quickly opened the door.

But the person who came out of the room wasn’t the Duke, it was the knight who always followed him around.

I had seen his face several times, but since I never met his gaze, I do not particularly remember him.

No, the man, whose presence was blurry in my head as if I wouldn’t be able to remember him, was now clearly visible.

“Miss.
How may I help you?”

“Luca, why are you here?”

“I’ve got a brief assignment.”

“Suspicious….What about my daddy!”

“The Duke went outside because he has a lot of things to take care of.”

“Why!!!”

Rere, who blew her nose, stomped the floor with her feet.

Then, the man who came out of the room met my eyes.

He was a man with similar features to the Duke.
If anything was different, it’s only the color of his eyes.

Unlike Duke Ian, who had black hair and red eyes, the man named Luca had black hair and gold eyes that didn’t match well.

He was a man who looked at me strangely.
Perhaps it’s just my feeling, but he seemed suspicious.

Handsome but suspicious.

Coming out of his master’s room when he wasn’t even there…..That’s suspicious.

As if he knew that my eyes were directed at him, he closed his eyes and bowed to me.

“More than that, it’s my first time to greet you.
My name is Luca.”

“Ah, yes.
I’m Leona Selen.”

“It’s my first time to meet you like this.
I wanted to talk to you if we ever meet again.”

The way he looked at me contained a clear boundary.
Of course, not only that, but there was also a slight wonder in his eyes.
I could feel that as well.

“It’s my mom.
Don’t look at her! Let’s go, mom!”

“You seem to adore Ms.
Leona very much.
That’s a relief.
Please let me know if you need anything.”

He stepped back while putting on a smile.
But as if Rere was very frustrated, she grabbed and dragged me away.

By the time we got far away from Luca, Rebecca stopped her stride.

“Mom.”

“Yeah?”

“Daddy is a poppy head and he’s snobbish…but Luca is a no!”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Daddy is mean.
He hates mom.
He’s indeed like that…but not Luca.
Luca is handsome, fights well, and is cool but still!”

Rere, who put on a serious look, forced a smile and swung her arms back and forth.

“Mom is mine.”

“I’m yours?”

“Uung! Actually, Luca….! Has a lot of flaws.
Uh…that’s why…anyway! You can’t, okay?”

Rere’s lips that puffed through her chubby cheeks moved up and down each time she mumbled.
I laughed at her cute appearance, which was similar to a duck’s beak.

“Okay, don’t worry about it.
But who’s that guy?”

“Don’t be interested!”

I was going to ask more, but due to Rere’s hostility, I finally gave up and followed the child.

“Do you understand?!”

“Uh, okay.”

Rere, who was screaming loudly, looked around the vicinity.

“But where is mom’s room?”

“My room…it’s quite far from here.”

“That’s fine! But my feet hurt.
Carry me.”

“Of course.
I should do that.”

I let go of Rere’s hand and handed the pillow back to the child.
Then, I walked for a long time while holding Rere in my arms.

Perhaps because it was already time to sleep, Rere fell asleep with her face resting on my shoulder.

“Good night.”

“Not asle…ep…..Rere…is not asleep.”

The already sleepy child mumbled for a long time and eventually fell asleep.
Meanwhile, I arrived in front of my room.

Recently, I tried to find my way back without May’s assistance, and now it came into use.

Of course, it wasn’t easy.

Sweat formed on my forehead after walking for a long time.
I wanted to rest as soon as I arrived in my room, but I briefly agonized over the poor appearance of the door, which was different from Astra’s, and looked at Rere who leaned on my shoulder.

‘She’ll get angry if I take her back to her room without telling her.’

While agonizing, I slightly shook her shoulders to wake her up.

“Rere.
Are you really going to sleep in mom’s room?”

“Huh? Are we there yet?”

Rere, who woke up while rubbing her eyes, hurriedly looked around.

“…Where is the room?”

“Ah, it’s right here.”

“…But it’s a warehouse.”

“No, it’s mom’s room.”

The room that we saw a little while ago was embellished with gold ornaments.
On the other hand, my room only had a wooden door.
It was only natural that Rere’s face stiffened.

The child pointed at the door with a frightened look.

“Do you really live in a warehouse…?”

“Yeah! The inside is not as wide as yours, but it’s nice!”

I opened the door with a smile.

Rere, who quickly got inside the room, wriggled her nose and shook her head.

“Is this a room? How come….they let you stay in this room?”

At the child’s words, Leona’s life flashed before my eyes.
