The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1072

Laura's POV:

Naturally, I believed Crystal more. My prejudice was more or less objective, but my instinct told me there was more to this girl named Adela than she looked.

I smiled at Adela kindly and pulled her to sit down. "Can you tell me why you happened to be there and found Rufus?"

Adela raised her gaze at me, her plump, smooth face expressing a hint of shyness. In a low voice, she answered, "I'm a professional painter. When I went to the suburb to paint that day, and I came across King Rufus when he was injured..."

1 see.

I turned to examine the artwork and painting tools in the corner. A soldier delivered them here just now. According to the people who followed Rufus, this young woman named Adela was indeed found in the area with her painting tools.

That seemed plausible, but when I looked at Adela, I couldn't help but feel a peculiar connection.

I wasn't one to keep my doubts to myself. If there was an issue, I would always address it directly. That was why I went right ahead and asked Adela, "Have I met you before?"

Adela seemed to feel an instant pang of embarrassment. She looked uncomfortable and replied, "I attended the ball last time. Maybe you saw me there."

I frowned and tried to recall this girl from memory, but I came up empty. I would not deny; her face was utterly beautiful. Beautiful women such as this one always had a great impression on me. Every time I'd see them, I'd think whether or not they were deserving of Rufus.

Even though I know Rufus wouldn't be interested in them, my concerns remained. I knew I said didn't care, but my concerns about Rufus' marriage still persisted. After all, he was of age to get married now. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh. Startled, Adela said in a tearful voice, "Have I disappointed you in any way?"
