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

Chapter 1013 Reality And Fairy Tale

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."

"Okay, you tell me stories.” I stroke Beryl’s head lovingly. I loved her so much. How I wished she could stay so I could watch her grow up and give her everything she wanted.

But when I thought of Crystal, I felt guilty separating her from her daughter. Well, I guess I'd have to wait for an opportunity to visit the border pack to see them again

Rufus wanted to send us out, but I didn’t let him. I could sense something off about him, as if he had noticed something wrong. Not wanting to strike up anymore conversation with him, I took Beryl back to my place as soon as I could

Although Rufus wasn't around, Beryl didn't seem to be bothered. She even excitedly took me to play on the swing.

I had a swing installed in the backyard because I knew Beryl loved to play on a swing.

It was big enough for three adults.

Beryl and I sat side by side, and the maids pushed us from behind.

"Higher, higher!" Beryl showed no signs of fear. In contrast, she was so ecstatic that she laughed each time the swing flew high.

I hadn't relaxed and played with anyone like this for a long time. I was mostly surrounded with either old people who revered me or young people who were terrified of me, and neither group was very fascinating for me.

After having a great time, Beryl reluctantly returned to the room with me.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I took her to take a shower before we lay on the hed, ready to sleep. She did keepsher promise and told me stories, bu each tale ended with. an unexpected twist. For instances Snow White was actually a dark> crow who intentionally got clase to thesprince for revenge. Andtne HGiman to which the littlemermaid fell in love with was actually someone she just imagined in her head.

The more I listened, the stranger I felt. These stories were all dark and dreary. Did Rufus read these kinds of books to Beryl?

Beryl looked at me innocently and asked, "Grannie, why are you so quiet? Don't you find the stories interesting?”

"No, I'm simply wondering how you came to learn about these tales." I held her in my arms with a smile and patted her back gently to comfort her. With a grin on her face, Beryl snuggled up to me in my arms and said, "Daddy told me those stories!"

If it was Rufus who told her, then that wouldn't surprise me at all. Since he was a kid, he never really cared about fairytales. In fact. Reading Beryl folk stories was already a huge step for him.

I patted Beryl an the shoulder, stood up, and handed her a glass of milk. "Well, since the stories have all N ended, yau need to drink your mili now. eS perfectly warm. Drink iPall and then go to bed." BeryI nodded obediently, took the glass of mil aftd gulped it down. Content belongs to

Looking at her, my heart broke into pieces. The time had come for us to part ways.

After drinkingthe milk with the sleeping powder, Beryl would fall asleep. When she woke up, she =» would have already been back tothe border-pack. I was only worried that once st he regained consciousness, she-might cry because shecouldn't fifid her Daddy. NovelDrama.Org
