Chapter 631 Strong-willed Women


    Rufus'' POV:


    I was at aplete loss. I had grown to be independent and thus didn''t know what to do now that


    someone actually cared about me.


    I held my mother in my arms and clumsily patted her back tofort her. "Mother, please don''t


    me yourself. It''s no one''s fault. Although it''s true that I''ve suffered from this curse, it also led me


    to meet the love of my life."


    My mother didn''t say anything, but her body was trembling. I knew she was still crying.


    I sighed and continued, "Everything will be fine. What''s important now is for you to take care of


    yourself. The curse will be removed sooner orter..."


    I nearly told her about how we had found a potential solution to remove the curse. But because


    nothing was certain, I decided against it. My mother kept silent for a long time. Then she gently


    pulled away from me, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and took deep breaths to calm herself


    down.


    I sat there quietly and sighed in my heart. My mother and I hadn''t talked to each other like this in a


    very long time.


    After a while, my mother''s eyes shed with determination, as though she had suddenly made up


    her mind about something. "Rufus, if you don''t like this ce, you don''t have to keep fighting


    anymore. Go and do whatever you want. It''s enough that I have to be trapped in this ce, but you


    still have a chance."


    Hearing this, I smiled bitterly. "Mother, don''t worry about my future. As a member of the royal family,


    whether I am the heir or not, I have to take responsibility for the people, for you, and for father."


    My mother looked touched and couldn''t help but sob again. "Rufus, I''m sorry. I know I''ve pressured


    you a lot over the years..."


    I shook my head and looked at her gently. "Mother, don''t think like that and add more stress to


    yourself. Excessive anxiety will worsen your condition. And you pressuring me is what motivated me


    to keep moving forward."


    She stopped sobbing and looked up at me hesitantly. "Do you really think so?"


    "I know so, Mother." I smiled at her reassuringly.


    She let out a sigh of relief. Then she mentioned Sylvia. "After spending time with your mate today,


    I''ve found that she is indeed a nice girl. I won''t interfere in your rtionship anymore. I''ll support


    whatever decision you make."


    I was taken aback for a moment, but soon, warmth flooded my heart. I couldn''t help but recall what


    Sylvia had said. Every mother simply wanted the best for her child.

    And my mother loved me more than I imagined.


    "Rufus, I''ll figure out a way to deal with your curse. That Noreen will pay for what she has done to


    my family. I''ll find her, whatever it takes." My mother''s expression darkened as she spoke with


    fervor. She had returned to her usual decisive self.


    "Mother, don''t worry. I''ll deal with it myself." I didn''t know whether tough or cry. My mother had


    always been a determined woman. I suspected in only a few days, she would find all the witches


    named Noreen from all over the country.


    "No, I have to handle this. You and your father have been looking for that damned witch for so long


    but you never found her. I doubt you''ll find a way to remove the curse, but no matter what, I can''t let


    you suffer another full moon night!" My mother shook her head stubbornly. I felt as if I could see


    Sylvia in her. The two women were both quite strong-willed.


    I sighed. In order to make my mother give up, I had no choice but to tell her that I might''ve found a


    way to get rid of the curse.


    When she heard this, she was pleasantly surprised, but soon she became suspicious. She looked


    me up and down and asked, "Are you lying to me?"


    I held my hands up helplessly. "Mother, don''t worry. I will prove it to you soon."
