The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 1013

Laura's POV:

Afraid that Rufus would be suspicious, I deliberately snapped at him with a straight face, "You said that as if I have never cared about you. You've always been so distant and cold since you were a child. I still remember how you always kept to yourself and wouldn't talk to me. But thankfully, I have Beryl to accompany me now. Do you have any problem with that?"

"No, not at all. Since you want Beryl to stay overnight with you, then fine. I will allow her to spend the night at your place." After that, Rufus didn't say anything more and continued to work.

I breathed a sigh of relief and carried Beryl in my arms, ready to leave.

The young girl rubbed her eyes and asked in a daze, "Where are we going, Grannie?"

"We're going to Grannie's palace. You'll sleep with Grannie tonight." I gently pressed my cheek against Beryl's adorable face and coaxed her softly.

Beryl cheered up a little and agreed obediently, "Okay, then I will tell you stories tonight."

"Okay, you tell me stories." I stroke Beryl's head lovingly. I loved her so much. How I wished she could stay so I could watch her grow up and give her everything she wanted.

But when I thought of Crystal, I felt guilty separating her from her daughter.

Well, I guess I'd have to wait for an opportunity to visit the border pack to see them again.

Rufus wanted to send us out, but I didn't let him. I could sense something off about him, as if he had noticed something wrong. Not wanting to strike up anymore conversation with him, I took Beryl back to my place as soon as I could.

Although Rufus wasn't around, Beryl didn't seem to be bothered. She even excitedly took me to play on the swing.

I had a swing installed in the backyard because I knew Beryl loved to play on a swing.
