You Evil Dragon! I Don't Want to Have Children With you Anymore!-Chapter 143 - : Breaking the News to the Twins
Chapter 143 - 143: Breaking the News to the Twins
Noah waved her hand, "It's fine... You keep listening to what Daddy and Mommy are saying."
"Oh..."
Luna turned her head back and looked at Leon and Roseweisse again.
At this moment, the expressions on their faces were almost identical to Noah's. If they had taken a tactical sip of water just now, they might have sprayed out even more than Noah.
'The difference between a slime and a second child... is it perhaps a bit too large?'
Indeed, as mature as she was, a little dragon girl just over a year old still had an unpredictable thought process.
Roseweisse pursed her lips and reworded her statement, "Luna, the family member we're talking about isn't a slime... or any other kind of pet."
Luna scratched her head, "You just asked if I'd be lonely without company, so I thought you were going to get me a pet. So, what exactly are you trying to say? I feel like you're going in circles."
Seeing that their little daughter was already catching on, Leon decided to just lay it all out.
He licked his lips, speaking while observing Luna's reaction, "Well... your Mommy is... pregnant again."
As soon as he finished speaking, the single strand of hair on Luna's head stood up straight.
And it happened instantly.
Her big eyes widened, shining bright.
Her little dragon face was filled with disbelief, astonishment, and a series of expressions that could all be described as "no way, really?"
Even the steak on her plate instantly lost its appeal.
Luna climbed onto her chair, bracing her hands on the edge of the table, her small body practically lunging toward Leon and Roseweisse.
The couple hurriedly reached out to support her, afraid their precious daughter might dive headfirst into the salad bowl.
"Really? Really? Is it really true? Mommy, are you really pregnant?", Luna asked excitedly.
Roseweisse's face turned red, she gently touched her belly, nodded, and softly responded with a "Mhm."
Luna's tail started wagging in excitement, "That's great!"
Seeing their little daughter react like this, the couple let out a sigh of relief.

They were worried she might not take it well. After all, not every child is thrilled about suddenly having a younger sibling.
Even the most well-behaved and mature kids might react unpredictably.
But luckily, Luna's response was genuine enough to put them at ease—
Not.
Before they could even completely relax, Luna suddenly added, "Then I also want..."
"Want?"
"I also want an older sister! ?ω? "
Roseweisse: "..."
Leon: "..."
Noah: "A sis-con behaves exactly like this. I understand."
Leon figured he might have focused too much on his daughter's intellectual education, neglecting basic common sense.
To the point where Luna seemed to believe that whatever she wanted, her Mommy could just "give birth" to it.
If it were really that simple, Leon would have long since requested a "baby Roseweisse" from his dragon wife.
If he couldn't mess with the adult version, he could at least bully the younger one, right?
"Uh, no, Luna, Mommy can't give you an older sister...", Leon tried to explain.
Luna blinked, "It's okay."
'Good girl, weird thoughts come fast but leave just as quickly—no need for Daddy to waste his breath—'
"If a sister isn't possible, then an older brother is also acceptable.", Luna said seriously.
Leon banged his forehead against the table, giving up on explaining.
In the end, it was up to the queen to step in.
"Luna, both a sister and a brother are impossible. If we put it in a way you can understand, you can only choose between a little sister and a little brother."
After a brief pause, Roseweisse realized that even her own logic was getting derailed by her daughter, so she quickly corrected herself, "Actually, even that's not something we can choose... Whether it's a little sister or a little brother, even Mommy can't decide."
"I see...", Luna's eyes darted around, and she declared, "Then I want a little sister. Mommy, you have to work hard and give me a little sister~"
Well, although that still sounded a little odd, at least she finally understood.
Roseweisse smiled and nodded, "Mommy will do her best."
After settling things with their younger daughter, the couple turned their attention to their eldest.
Unlike Luna, Noah had a calm, "Oh, I figured as much" look.
She lifted her head, blinked, and said, "Hmm? Is it my turn? I have no objections, but I do have a suggestion."
The couple was taken aback. They didn't expect Noah to handle this so nonchalantly.
But thinking about it, it was fitting for her "big-sisterly" personality.
Even if she was internally excited, she had to put on an exterior of "Pregnancy? No big deal."
"What suggestion?", Leon asked.
"I suggest you two live together."
.
.
.
Leon: "Live together?..."
Roseweisse: "Live together?"
Luna: "Live together!!... What does that mean?"
The little dragon girl's big eyes were filled with confusion.
Noah turned to look at her sister and explained seriously, "Living together means that two people who love each other reach a certain stage in their relationship and then move into the same house to live together."
Luna suddenly understood, "Oh~ So that's what it means. Now that you mention it, Daddy does always sleep in that little room and rarely sleeps with Mommy."
'Sweetheart, if I slept with your Mommy more often, this whole household might collapse.', Leon thought to himself.
Noah looked at Leon and Roseweisse and calmly laid out her reasoning.
"Now that Mommy is pregnant, she needs someone around to take care of her. But when I came back today, I saw that Anna and the others didn't make any preparations for Mommy's pregnancy. That means you haven't told the maids yet, right?"
"Mommy probably didn't want to disrupt their daily work, and I understand that. But since she's pregnant, she really shouldn't be left alone. Luna is still young, and I'm usually at school, so Daddy is the most suitable person."
Her logical and well-reasoned analysis left the couple speechless.
These two could usually out-talk and out-think anyone, but now, facing their eldest daughter, they were suddenly mute.
"Noah, actually, Mommy is still—", Roseweisse tried to explain.
But Noah immediately followed up, "And besides, after the baby is born, won't they be moving into the nursery where Daddy is staying now? So in the end, Daddy will still have to move in with Mommy. Whether it's sooner or later, it's the same, isn't it?"
Leon almost felt convinced, mumbling, "That makes so much sense..."
It really did.
But for this couple, who each had their own reservations, "living together" wasn't something that could be decided just based on logic.
They had always slept separately.
If this were a normal human couple, continuing to sleep apart after marriage would be unusual, and people would surely talk.
Leon had worried about that at first. They already had kids—wouldn't others find it suspicious if they kept sleeping apart?
But Roseweisse had said that dragonkind wasn't that strict about such things. Even deeply in love dragon couples highly valued personal space.
Because of their absolute loyalty to their partners, sleeping separately wasn't an issue.
As long as they sent some kind of "signal" when they wanted to do "married things," that was enough.
That said, it wasn't as if dragon couples never lived together.
To everyone—including their two daughters—Leon and Roseweisse were a deeply loving couple. For them to live together was completely natural. It was actually stranger that they didn't.
All their careful efforts to maintain a "perfect family" image had somehow backed them into this "cohabitation crisis."
The couple exchanged glances, and Roseweisse decided to push back.
"Noah, I'm only two months pregnant. It's not affecting anything yet, so there's no rush for your Daddy to move in."
The implication being: We can talk about this later.
Noah, however, shook her head stubbornly, "Pregnancy is serious business. There can't be any mistakes."
Listening to his daughter's words and seeing her stubborn little mule-like expression, Rossweise was a little confused.
'Why is Noah so concerned about my pregnancy?'
With how serious she looked, Rossweise had no doubt that if possible, Noah would even apply for a leave of absence from school just to take care of her mother at home.
Even though Noah was more mature than kids her age, Rossweise had never seen her so persistent about anything.
And the reason why Noah was like this was because of those old events.
Back when her father was in a coma, Rossweise, who had just given birth to the two sisters, was depressed and gloomy all day long. There were a few times when Noah caught sight of this.
At that time, even though she was much younger than now, her naturally sensitive heart had already picked up on it—Mommy was unhappy, Mommy was dejected, Mommy was feeling down.
Noah didn't have much life experience back then, nor did she understand what had happened between her parents.
But even so, at that time, she silently swore in her heart—if such a situation ever happened again, she would never let Mommy show that sorrowful, heartbroken expression again.
And now, Mommy was pregnant. Noah knew that she might have to face some of the same troubles from the past again.
That was why she was strongly pushing for Daddy to move over and take care of Mommy.
What did a child know about the grudges and fates of adults? She simply didn't want Mommy to be sad again, that was all.
Seeing that no one at the dinner table was making a final decision, Noah proposed, "If Mommy finds it hard to decide, then let's do a family vote."
"Family vote?"
"Yeah, the four of us will raise our hands to vote. Those who agree that Daddy and Mommy should move in together, raise your hand.", Noah was the first to lift her small hand.
Luna also imitated her big sister, eagerly raising her little arm high.
Leon did not immediately voice his opinion but instead looked toward Rossweise.
He saw her hesitating and struggling. It was rare to see her so indecisive.
It made sense, after all. Their marriage was fake, their family was fake—only the two adorable daughters were real. The rest was all just an act, so there was no actual need for cohabitation.
Leon guessed that Rossweise would definitely vote "against" it.
Then, he would follow suit and also vote against it. That way, with a final result of 2:2, the decision would be to maintain the status quo or reconsider it later.
Rossweise was probably thinking the same thing—stalling for as long as possible.
However, her actual response caught Leon by surprise.
"I... abstain."
The father and daughters froze for a moment. She actually gave up her vote?
Leon narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Rossweise, 'What exactly is this dragoness plotting?'
But if she abstained, then didn't that mean Leon's final vote was completely meaningless?
After a brief moment of shock, the two daughters turned in unison to look at their Daddy.
Leon, on the other hand, actually didn't feel much of a stir in his heart.
Because cohabiting with Rossweise didn't really affect him much.
When it came to "turning in assignments," the two of them were in a balanced stalemate.
As long as she didn't pull a stunt like the other night, setting up a moral trap to pressure him, Leon was basically safe.
And from another perspective, cohabitation actually had some advantages.
