Chapter 981
Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 981 I Won’t Go
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 exin it to him.
“Don’t worry about me being disappointed, Mommy. Even if I never get to see Daddy, it won’t change
anything.” Arron lowered his head and nted a kiss on my forehead. He was trying tofort me.
I took a deep breath and mumbled, “The man Beryl referred to is not your father. She’s mistaken. You
know Beryl was hit on the head and couldn’t remember anything, right? The doctor said that Beryl
couldn’t be stimted now, so he naturally asked that person to cooperate by pretending to be Beryl’s
father.”
“Okay.” Arron nodded obediently. Without saying anything, he picked up the knife and fork and
resumed his meal.
As I tenderly touched his head, I couldn’t help but feel guilty.
The next day, I tried to make up for it by taking him out downtown all day. There were no bandages on
him; only a cap and a scarf. No one could see his face clearly without getting close to him.
We visited all the sights and took countless photos. Arron’s favorite ce was the aquarium. The
border pack was not a coastal city, so he never had the chance to see any sea animals there. The little
guy was so excited that his face turned red.
I, too, was filled with joy. Together, he and I went shopping. Every time I had something delicious, I
would think of Beryl. The next time Ie, I’d like to bring her along.

Although Beryl wasn’t with us, Arron and I always thought of her.
Arron was so exhausted that he dozed off in my arms on the ride home. He didn’t wake up till we
arrived at our residence. After washing up, he immediatelyy on the bed and fell asleep without
listening to my bedtime stories.
On the other hand, I stayed wide awake and couldn’t fall asleep, so I went out to the balcony with a
ssof wine, thinking that the night breeze would calm me down. However, when I woke up the next
day, I had a stuffy nose and felt dizzy.
I managed to pick myself up and took some medicine. After preparing lunch for Arron, I went back to
sleep.
Hourster, I was awakened by the sound of fireworks outside the window. I looked at the time and
found that it was already five o’clock in the afternoon. Since it was winter, the sky got dark early and
there were already lights outside.
I got up from the bed and stretched my stiff b*ody. I felt much better and I wasn’t as light-headed as I
was in the morning.
Then, I went out of my room to look for Arron, but couldn’t find him anywhere in the pce. Thinking
that he might probably be at Laura’s ce, I called thetter. Strangely, no one answered.
At this time, I heard sounds ofughter of she-wolves outside. They were talking about the ball. I put on
my mask and went out to have a look. I found that these she -wolves were all wearing gorgeous
dresses and exquisite masks. Suddenly, it dawned on me that tonight was the masquerade. From
among these she-wolves, Rufus would choose his future wife.
