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."
