Ooops! I Became The Villain's Mom
System, You’re Scamming Me!
Your Author
Welcome Back 🤗🤗🤗
[Scene: The grand bedroom is silent. Evelyn is still hugging Lucian, who remains curled up against her like a small, warm cat. His red eyes are droopy, his little hands gripping her dress tightly.]
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
(internally): Alright. I have a son now. He’s the future villain of the empire. And my job is to raise him well so he doesn’t burn the world down. Simple enough.
[A SYSTEM NOTIFICATION pops up.]
The System
[SYSTEM: “Reminder! Your First Mission is still incomplete!”]
The System
[Mission: Make Lucian Smile!]
The System
Time Limit: 24 Hours
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
“…” You didn’t say there was a TIME LIMIT before!
[Lucian stirs slightly, lifting his sleepy gaze to look at her.]
Lucian Night shade (Fl&Ml's Child)[ON V]
(softly): “Mother?”
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
(forced calm): “Yes?”
Lucian Night shade (Fl&Ml's Child)[ON V]
“Why are you making that face?”
[Evelyn blinks. She’s pretty sure she’s making a normal face, but okay.]
The System
“Warning! If Host fails to complete the mission, a penalty will be issued!”
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
(internally): Penalty?! Like what? Will I get electrocuted?! Lose a limb?!
The System
[The system remains silent. That’s never a good sign.]
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
(internally): Okay, think. How do you make a five-year-old smile?
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
[She looks down at Lucian. He’s still watching her carefully, as if afraid she’ll disappear if he blinks too long. Her heart clenches a little.]
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
This poor baby. He’s never had a proper mother, has he?
[Evelyn clears her throat, attempting something she hasn’t done in years—acting playful.]
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
(teasing): “Lucian, do you know what a smile is?”
Lucian Night shade (Fl&Ml's Child)[ON V]
[Lucian tilts his head, confused.]
Lucian Night shade (Fl&Ml's Child)[ON V]
“Yes…?”
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
“Then why don’t you show me?”
[Lucian frowns slightly, as if considering the question very seriously.]
(hesitant): “I… I don’t know how.”
[In the novel, the villain Lucian was known for his cold, emotionless face. If this version of him is the same… does that mean he’s never smiled before? Not even once?]
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
(internally, determined): Challenge accepted.
[Evelyn pulls away slightly, still holding Lucian close. Then she puts on her best attempt at a funny face—puffing her cheeks, crossing her eyes, and sticking out her tongue.] 😝
Lucian Night shade (Fl&Ml's Child)[ON V]
“…”
The System
SYSTEM NOTIFICATION: “Mission Progress: 0%.”
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
(internally): No effect?!
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
[She tries something else—wiggling her fingers and tickling his sides.]
Lucian Night shade (Fl&Ml's Child)[ON V]
(gasping, squirming): “M-Mother?! What are you—ahh…!”
[The SYSTEM NOTIFICATION dings.]
The System
[SYSTEM: “Congratulations! Mission Complete!”]
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
(smirking): “Oh? What was that just now?”
[Lucian’s face turns bright red. He shakes his head furiously, lips pressed together.]
Lucian Night shade (Fl&Ml's Child)[ON V]
“N-Nothing.”😨
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
“It sounded like a laugh to me.” 😀
Lucian Night shade (Fl&Ml's Child)[ON V]
(grumbling): “It wasn’t.”
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
“It definitely was.”
[Lucian buries his face into her dress again, mumbling something incomprehensible. Evelyn chuckles, ruffling his soft hair.]
The System
SYSTEM NOTIFICATION:
The System
+10 Affection Points Earned!
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
(internally): Well, that was easier than I thought.
[A knock suddenly echoes through the bedroom, making Evelyn jolt.]
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
(coldly): “Evelyn.”
[A deep, icy voice sends a chill down her spine. She doesn’t know why, but her instincts scream DANGER.]
[The door opens, and a tall figure steps inside. A man with piercing silver eyes and jet-black hair, dressed in an elegant dark coat embroidered with silver patterns. His expression is cold enough to freeze fire itself.]
