The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 981

Crystal's POV:

Stunned by my son's question, I hesitantly rubbed the invitation. Flora's words then rang in my head. The real purpose of this event was to choose a future queen for Rufus.

Since that was the case, then it would be better if I didn't attend.

After all, I was already ready to leave and return to the border pack, so there was no need for me to be there.

Finally, I put down the invitation with a smile and said to Arron, "No, I won't go."

Rufus should have his own life. And besides, this invitation was invalid after all. Since I hadn't received the formal invitation, Laura probably didn't want me to be there.

Arron asked with disappointment, "Why? Mommy, why won't you go? Everyone will go to the ball. Mommy, you must be the most beautiful one in the party."

Arron's dissatisfaction caught my eye, and I must admit, it startled me a little. He seldom asked me to do anything. Had Beryl said something to him?

I stood up and walked over to him, squatting down and keeping my eyes intently at him. "Arron, can you tell Mommy why you want me to go to the ball?"

Arron didn't answer my question right away.

Instead, he stared at me with his big eyes for a long time.

I knew he was hesitating, so I didn't press him and just waited patiently for his answer.

Arron finally spoke up after a long silence, saying timidly, "Because Beryl said I'll run into my dad at the ball. She thinks you two would be great together and wants to set you up."

I was both surprised and amused, not expecting that Beryl would have such an idea. I guessed she must have heard something from Laura. Otherwise, how could she even thought of that? "Mommy, is Beryl telling the truth? I would see my father at the ball?" Arron stared at me, with a tinge of expectancy in his tone.

My heart ached. I opened my mouth but didn't know how to explain it to him.
