The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Crystal's POV:

Even after eating, Beryl still refused to let me touch her. She flat-out rejected my attempts to even grasp her hand. The moment I touched her, she began crying.

Eventually, I gave up and didn't get close to her anymore. Instead, I sat on the couch and watched her talk to her father.

Frustrated, I took out my phone and saw a voice message from Harry. He sent it about two hours ago.

When I clicked on the voice message, I heard a young boy's voice saying, "Mommy, I miss you." As a result of being surprised, I immediately turned the volume down. Both Beryl and Rufus turned to me as soon as they heard the sound. When I saw how the two nearly identical faces grimaced at the same time, I felt a strange pang of remorse.

I let out a dry laugh and was about to say something, but Rufus bent his head and resumed his conversation with Beryl, as if he didn't want to talk to me.

I touched my nose and felt even the air around us felt awkward.

Beryl and Rufus were engaged in a paper-folding game. Although Rufus wasn't exactly in a cheerful mood, he patiently accompanied her anyhow.
