The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 678

Sylvia's POV:

I felt my scalp tingle under Alina's intense gaze. I could tell that there was a glimmer of hatred in her eyes.

Didn't Leonard say she had been counting on Warren lately to get her out of her mess? If that truly was the case, why was she staring at me like that? Did she still have feelings for Rufus?

I thought with a frown as I took a good look at her eyes.

Alina's eyes were beautiful, and her irises were a shade of grayish-blue. She had always looked at people with a hint of innocence. She probably inherited the color of her eyes from her mother because Leonard's eyes were dark green. They almost looked black.

Her eyes would light up every time she smiled. I didn't think a resentful look suited her.

Alina smiled before looking away to greet everyone. At that point, she seemed like an elegant lady from a noble family.

I breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she turned away. Flora simply stood still as she murmured, "She's so scary sometimes."

After an exchange of pleasantries, Rufus was invited to sit in the main seat while Leonard sat on the first seat by the left. Opposite of him was Owen, followed by Edwin and Flora's parents.

Alina came there early and chose a seat on the other side of the long table.

I sat next to Leonard, alongside Flora and Warren.

"Your favorite baked banana is going to be served today," Leonard said, helping me arrange the tableware as he spoke.

I thanked him with a smile. I didn't expect him to remember that I liked baked bananas.

I poured Leonard a glass of wine as we casually chatted.

The atmosphere was harmonious while we talked, but when I looked over at Alina, I noticed that she was staring at me again.

The way she gazed at me made me uncomfortable. I could tell that there wasn't only hatred and resentment glimmering in her eyes. It was something else entirely.
