Chapter 999 A Dutiful Husband


    Crystal''s POV:


    When I opened the door and saw that it was Flora, I heaved a sigh of relief. I pulled her inside and


    promptly took off my mask.


    "What''re you doing here?"


    Flora was still wearing a gown, as if she had rushed straight here from the ball.


    "Did something happen between you and Rufus just now? People have been saying that you two


    were in the same room for a long time..." Flora held my hands, her eyes darting around nervously.


    I had a bad feeling about this. "What''s going on?"


    Flora immediately fished out her phone from her handbag and showed me a photo. "Look, someone


    took a photo of you running out of Rufus'' lounge."


    Hearing this, my heart leaped to my throat. I took Flora''s phone to get a better look at the photo.


    Luckily, it didn''t capture my face, which was blocked by Arron in my arms.


    But it would''ve been easy to recognize me by my side profile. Years ago, I often posted photos on


    social media. It would be bad if someone recognized me. After all, in the eyes of the public, Sylvia


    had already been executed.


    "Don''t worry. As soon as we found out about it, Warren immediately gave the order to have the


    photos taken down. Hopefully, it won''t cause too big of an impact," Floraforted me and patted


    the back of my hand.


    I closed my eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. We both sank into the sofa tiredly and I told her


    about my n. "I''m leaving the capital in three days."


    "Is Beryl going with you? Doesn''t she think that Rufus is her father?" Flora asked with a frown.


    "If Beryl still doesn''t regain her memories by then, I''ll have to take her away by force." I sighed


    helplessly.


    Flora sighed. "Life can be really cruel sometimes. If only it wasn''t Rufus who saved Beryl."


    "Well, now that things havee to this, I have to ept it. If it wasn''t Rufus who saved her, I might


    not have found Beryl so easily."


    After all, it was simple cause and effect. Since things turned out like this, I had no choice but to go


    with the flow.


    "Can I visit you in the border pack?" Pouting, Flora threw her arms around me tightly.


    "Of course, but you''ll have to do it discreetly. I''m sure Rufus will send his people to the border pack


    to keep an eye on me. We''d better be careful."


    I rubbed my aching temples. My mind was in a mess. Today, I had crossed a line with Rufus.


    Although he wouldn''t depose my status as Alpha, he might secretly investigate me. All things


    considered, it would be better for me to keep a low profile for the time being.

    Fortunately, over the past five years, I had been very careful. Even if Rufus looked into my


    background, I doubted anything too suspicious would resurface. But if I cultivated my rtionship


    with my old friends now, it would be another story.


    I knew what kind of person Rufus was. He would definitely target Flora and the others to get to me if


    he knew their rtionship with me.


    Flora''s eyes shed mischievously. "Don''t worry. When I visit, I''ll put on a disguise. No one will be


    able to recognize me, not even you! The border''s rich in precious stones. I''ll disguise myself as a


    merchant who''s there on business. I can easily stay for a week or two!"


    I swatted her arm yfully. "Are you sure that Warren will let you go there for two whole weeks? I


    think he''ll storm the border and take you back on the first day you arrive." Warren was now a dutiful


    husband. Despite being busy with political affairs, he basically followed Flora everywhere. If Flora


    really went to the border pack for weeks, Warren would go crazy.


    Flora was very confident. "No, he won''t. He''ll listen to me and do whatever I say." She casually


    waved her hand and made up her mind that she''d visit me at the border the following month. And


    then she added that Warren had no say in the matter.


    I smiled at her helplessly. While the thought of seeing Flora at the border was exciting, I had a gut


    feeling it would never happen. Warren would never let her go.


    While we were chatting, Warren arrived. He told us that he had finished dealing with the photos and


    that he hade to pick Flora up.
