The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 157

Lucianne tumed and found a little Evie in a light green dress running towards her with opened arms. Lucianne didn’t have to think before bending down to scoop the little girl up.

“Hello, Evie. Where’s your mommy?” Lucianne asked with a smile.

Evie looked behind her and pointed, and Lucianne saw a frantic mother running in her way. Lucianne then looked at Evie and asked, “Evie, did you tell your mommy where you were running to?”

“Mommy knows.” Evie said with no worries or remorse.

Lucianne pecked a light kiss on the little girl’s forehead before she said, “Evie, next time, drag mommy along, okay? You don’t want to worry her, and you don’t want to be taken by bad guys, do you?”

“Bad guys?” Evie’s eyes grew wide with horror.

Lucianne’s soft but serious gaze peered into the little girl’s lilac orbs as she whispered, “Your mommy and Lucy can protect you from bad guys, Evie. So, you need to have one of us with you when you’re running next time, okay?”

“Mm-kay.” Evie muttered as her little ams opened up to ask for a hug. When Lucianne held the girl closet o her chest with Evie’s small arms circling her neck, her mother came panting, “I am so sorry, your Highness. Sh—”

Lucianne spoke in her normal voice then, “Ma’am, this really isn’t an issue. Evie is a sweet girl.”

“She ran, and I couldn’t stop her.” The mother was still guilty.

Lucianne pulled Evie gently out from her embrace before looking at the girl with a smile and said, “Who knows? This one might be an accomplished artist and an athlete.”

The mother was shocked at the compliment. She took a moment to compose herself before a smile graced her features as she said, “That’s very kind of you to say, my Queen. Thank you.”

After putting Evie down, her mother explained that she was in court to pay off a parking ticket. After waving goodbye to a sad Evie, Lucianne watched the mother-daughter pair leave.
