Chapter 142: I am not an ungrateful child.

Bonk!

"Darling, what are you doing?" Violet, Sasha, and Ruby hit Victor on the head.

"Eh...?"

"Don't scare your parents!" The three spoke.

Victor looked at his parents and saw that they were paralyzed with fear.

"Ah..." Victor scratched the back of his head; he felt bad now.

And then he did something that left both Leon and Anna surprised.

"I'm sorry about that, Father, Mother. I didn't mean to scare you."

He bowed his head and apologized...

"..." Even Victor's wives were surprised by this demonstration. They thought he wouldn't ever lower his head to anyone, not even his parents.

"Hmm?" Victor looked up when he noticed the silence in the room.

"Is something wrong?"

"Didn't you just say you wouldn't bow your head to anyone? Not even to God himself?" Leon asked.

"Yeah? What's the problem? Oh I see, that's what this is about." Victor understood what Leon asked, so he displayed a gentle smile:

"You are my parents, the people I respect the most in this life. You are the people who gave birth and raised me from a young age without asking for anything in return, the people who took care of me when I was sick, the people who fed me, the people who taught me all that I know... How can I not bow my head to you?" Victor felt that the people who deserved the most respect from him were his parents.

Without them, Victor wouldn't be who he was today. It's sometimes hard to realize that the people who raised and looked after you without asking for anything in return are the most important people in your life.

But Victor? He always knew that. He still remembered all the times his mother took care of him when he was sick, all the times his father worked several extra hours to get a little more money to help his mother and himself.

Even though a lawyer's job is good, it's very taxing, and Leon knew that. Because of that, he always worked very hard to help Anna and Victor.

And he always kept those precious memories to himself.

Even the little moments when Victor watched movies with his father or his mother gave him advice.

All these memories were stored in his heart.

For a moment, the image of the current Victor seemed to stand out from the image of the old Victor.

"...My Son..." Anna's eyes watered a little, and she understood that even though Victor had become a vampire and changed a lot, he was still the same boy she'd taken care of since he was little. He was still her son.

And, in understanding that, somehow a weight that she felt in her heart, that she didn't even know existed, disappeared like leaves in the wind.

"I'm not an ungrateful son of a bitch." Victor laughed a little.

"Language," Leon spoke while looking out the window as if there was something interesting in that place.

"Yes, Yes. Sorry."

Seeing that the atmosphere around them became softer and warmer, Violet, Sasha, and Ruby all flashed gentle smiles. They were happy that everything worked out.

"Anyway!" Victor suddenly got up and put Zack on the couch.

"Mom and Dad, you must meet Violet Snow."

"Eh?" Violet was taken aback by this abrupt change.

"She is my wife. She is a very caring woman who always wants the best for me, to the point that she sometimes even forgets about her own safety, and she is so cute."

"D-Darling, what are you talking about!?" Violet's face turned pure red.

Anna wiped her eyes a little as she displayed a gentle smile, "Ara, she really is a good girl."

"..." Leon displayed a gentle smile and understood why Victor suddenly changed the subject. 'He has matured, huh?'

"Umu, Umu!" Victor nodded in satisfaction.

"H-Huh?"

H
