Yun Qiqi looked smug.
She did what she had promised and helped Umbu open up to Mia, creating a foundation for their future relationship.
Puff slithered across the floor, completely uninterested in the food.
The dragon, on the other hand, didn't even notice that someone had entered the room.
He just chewed the meat and made loud gulping sounds. Even saliva dripped down from his mouth, remaining unaffected by the unsettling silence.
Mia just stood there, eyes unmoving.
She was still holding onto Umbu's tail, its softness permitting her to relish.
But there was no time for that.
Something that shouldn't have happened did happen.
Evan, her and Noa's father, had returned hours earlier than she expected, walking in on a quite bizarre scene inside his house.
For one, she was feeding a baby dragon.
She was even holding his tail, wiggling it around like a soft plushie.
Then there was Puff.
