The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 1143

Crystal's POV:

Rufus texted back with a question mark.

I was a little bit flushed with embarrassment. I felt like I acted too hastily. How shocked he must have been to read my message.

I hesitated for a while and didn't know how to explain. Rufus would definitely ask me why I insisted on the layout and owners of the palaces back then. There were too many things that I couldn't tell Rufus. What if he questioned me?

I regretted my recklessness and hesitated about whether I should call him and explain myself or not. But he didn't ask anything and promptly sent me what I wanted the next second.

Just then, Rufus called me. I hesitated for a while before answering it.

A deep and pleasant voice came from the other end of the line. His voice was steady as he said, "This is the best I can do for now. If you need a more detailed version of the document, you'll have to file an application tomorrow."

I replied immediately, "It's okay. This also works. Thank you for answering me despite the time."

"It's not a big deal." After that, Rufus was silent. There was a moment of awkward stillness before I heard the sound of pages being turned on the other end of the phone.

It seemed that he had not just woken up. I hesitated for a while and asked dully, "Haven't you gone to bed yet?"

"I'm following up on the interrogation of the groom, and investigating the surveillance footage in every corner of the palace." The sound of Rufus suddenly

traveled far, followed by the sound of glass colliding.

I assumed he was currently having a cup of coffee to keep himself awake.

I felt a little guilty and grateful. Rufus could have asked others to deal with these things, but he didn't. "Thank you so much. I really don't know what to do without your help..."
