Chapter 1013 Reality And Fairy Tale
Laura''s POV.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
Afraid that Rufus would be suspicious, I deliberately snapped at him with a straight face, “You said that as if I have never cared about you. You''ve
always been so distant and cold since you were a child. I still remember how you always kept to yourself and wouldn''t talk to me. But thankfully, I
have Beryl to apany me now. Do you have any problem with that?"
"No, not at all. Since you want Beryl to stay overnight with you. then fine. I will allow her to spend the night at your ce." After that, Rufus didn''t say
anything more and continued to work.
I breathed a sigh of relief and carried Beryl in my arms, ready to leave.
The young girl rubbed her eyes and asked in a daze, "Where are we going, Grannie?"
"We''re going to Grannie''s pce. You''ll sleep with Grannie tonight.” I gently pressed my cheek against Beryl''s adorable face and coaxed her softly.
Beryl cheered up a little and agreed obediently. “Okay. then I will tell you stories tonight."
"Okay, you tell me stories.” I stroke Beryl’s head lovingly. I loved her so much. How I wished she could stay so I could watch her grow up and give her
everything she wanted.
But when I thought of Crystal, I felt guilty separating her from her daughter.
Well, I guess I''d have to wait for an opportunity to visit the border pack to see them again
Rufus wanted to send us out, but I didn’t let him. I could sense something off about him, as if he had noticed something wrong. Not wanting to strike
up anymore conversation with him, I took Beryl back to my ce as soon as I could
Although Rufus wasn''t around, Beryl didn''t seem to be bothered. She even excitedly took me to y on the swing.
I had a swing installed in the backyard because I knew Beryl loved to y on a swing.
It was big enough for three adults.
Beryl and I sat side by side, and the maids pushed us from behind.
"Higher, higher!" Beryl showed no signs of fear. In contrast, she was so ecstatic that sheughed each time the swing flew high.
I hadn''t rxed and yed with anyone like this for a long time. I was mostly surrounded with either old people who revered me or young people who
were terrified of me, and neither group was very fascinating for me.
After having a great time, Beryl reluctantly returned to the room with me.

The more I listened, the stranger I felt. These stories were all dark and dreary. Did Rufus read these kinds of books to Beryl?
Beryl looked at me innocently and asked, "Grannie, why are you so quiet? Don''t you find the stories interesting?”
"No, I''m simply wondering how you came to learn about these tales." I held her in my arms with a smile and patted her back gently tofort her.
With a grin on her face, Beryl snuggled up to me in my arms and said, "Daddy told me those stories!"
If it was Rufus who told her, then that wouldn''t surprise me at all. Since he was a kid, he never really cared about fairytales. In fact. Reading Beryl folk
stories was already a huge step for him.

up, and handed her a ss of milk.
