Chapter 1044 An Important Day
Crystal’s POV:
Startled, I quickly hung up the phone, spun around, and yanked Rufus’ hand away before quickly
retreating a few steps away from him.
Rufus stood still, with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He kept his cold gazer at me and asked,
“Why is it that every time you see me, you act as though you bumped into a ghost?”
“It is because you always appear behind me without making any sound.” I curled my lips as I said those
words.
Rufus chuckled and eyed me from head to toe. Then, he asked, “Why do you look so guilty? What
have you done?”
I turned my head away from him and said in an unnecessarily loud voice to hide my nervousness, “If I
actually did something wrong, I’d be very careful to hide it from others. How could I just wait here to be
busted? Tell me. What do you want from me this time? Make it quick because I’m very busy.” Every
time this guy showed up, he would pick on me. I had a hunch that he had made this his bad habit.
“Are you busy looking for someone right now?” Rufus asked casually.
I paused for a moment. Then I frowned and asked, “What did you hear?”
“Nothing. I just heard that you were looking for someone.”
After saying that, he paused before suddenly bending over and closing the distance between us. With
his eyes pierced on mine, he asked, “What? Are you afraid that I will hear something I shouldn’t?” I
violently shoved him away and growled, “It’s nothing. A child in my pack went missing. I’m arranging
people to look for him.”
“Well, if you need help, I can ask ir to arrange the royal army to search for him,” Rufus muttered
disapprovingly while standing straight.
I frowned and refused his kindness. “Don’t bother. I’ve sent my men to look for him. If we really can’t
find him, only then will I ask for help.”
I didn’t want to bring up ir in front of Rufus too much. I should keep pretending to not know ir until
the very end so that Rufus wouldn’t be suspicious again. Thest time we had a video call with
ir, Rufus came dangerously close to uncovering something. I should therefore avoid running into my
old friends in front of Rufus in the future.
Rufus clicked his tongue and didn’t insist anymore. Instead, he changed the topic and said, “Let’s have
dinner together tonight.”
“No, thanks. I’m busy,” I refused without hesitation.
I just wanted to stay away from this guy who was everywhere, and calmed myself down.
Ian ran away from home, and I was not in the mood at all. If Rufus hadn’t kept an eye on me and
forbade me from leaving the imperial capital, I might have already been on the way searching for Ian
myself.
Rufus looked very calm, as if he had expected my answer. He said, “It won’t take much of your time.
Beryl will also be there.”
Hearing this, I started to contemte my initial decision. My baby Beryl wouldn’t also be there. I would
miss the chance to bond with her if I didn’t ept his dinner invitation. It took me a long time to make
Beryl slowly ept me again. I should keep working on it. But I was afraid that Rufus would ask me
about my past. I couldn’t fool him with my excuses all the time. It might work for the first few times, but I
was pretty sure he would catch on to something sooner orter. If that happened, he would be even
more suspicious of me.
“Beryl said today is her birthday. You even forgot that?” Rufus scowled and cast an intent nce my
way.
“What? Today is not her…” Before I could finish my words, I suddenly remembered something. Tears
then began welling up in my eyes.
Today was Ian’s birthday.
We had made the day I met Ian for the first time as his birthday since we didn’t know the exact date
that he was born. Every year on this day, Beryl would throw avish celebration for Ian.
Even when Beryl had lost her memory, she still remembered the most important thing in her heart.
