The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Chapter 959

Crystal's POV:

Rufus' eyes were unfathomable, yet they screamed as though they could see through mine very well, piercing my mind with their sharpness. To hide away from his gaze the guilt that was slowly surfacing to my eyes, I blinked more than necessary and put on an awkward smile. "The style of the coat appears to be very special, so I took the liberty to take a few more glances at it." Contrary to his perplexing eyes, my remark spawned a chuckle from Rufus. When he no longer found it amusing, the sharpness from his eyes descended on his voice as he asked, "Really? Let's get this straight. What are you doing here?" "I..." I drawled, buying myself some time to think of an excuse.

"Tell me," he urged.

"I got lost..." I curled my lips and squeezed out these few words, hoping he wouldn't notice how caught unawares I was.

But when I searched his face, it was clear how he now saw me as the kind of person who would turn my back against him anytime I found myself in a dire situation. I analyzed the situation, and even I thought that I seemed too suspicious to be here. Knowing that it was how he gauged me to be, I could clearly see how guarded he was with me. His behavior told me that just an ooze of flaw from me would earn me something I wouldn't like from him.

If I hadn't gone to Flora's place earlier, I would have suspected that he had followed me all the way here after the parade. This encounter seemed like purely coincidental. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
