Chapter 1020 Security Check


    Crystal''s POV:


    In the car, Arron sat beside me and looked out of the window with great interest. I patted him on the head and also looked out of the window quietly.


    I didn''t feel relieved until the car was finally past the gates of the imperial pce


    I chastised myself for worrying too much. After all, Rufus had lost his memory and hadpletely forgotten me. How could he guess what I was.


    going to do?


    And even if he was clever enough to guess my next move, I had already left and was on my way to the border pack. If he wanted to catch me, he''d


    have to go to the border pack himself. But as the lycan king, it would be unwise for him to go to the border pack to arrest me without any evidence of


    a crime. It would only cause criticism and unrest in the empire


    I shouldn''t have worried that Rufus would act the way he did five years ago. At the time, we loved each other very much and understood each other,


    so no matter what, I couldn''t escape from him.


    Now. things were different. Rufus and I weren''t on the same wavelength anymore. Even if he did notice something off, he couldn''t tacitly know what I


    was thinking


    "Mommy, look! Doves!" Arron pointed at something in the distance and turned to look at me with bright eyes.


    "Yes, they''re probably out looking for food. If you like, you can keep one when we get back home." Although they already had a wild wolf, I didn''t mind


    having another animal. Pets could keep the kidspany and make the house livelier.


    Arron tapped his chin with a pudgy finger and thought for a while. "Can I have a parrot instead?"


    "Well, yes, but parrots are difficult to raise. They''re high maintenance and need specific conditions to thrive. If you''re not careful enough, they could


    get sick.”


    Arron stuck out his lower lip and said seriously, "Then I don''t want a parrot anymore. I can see it online anyway."


    I held him in my arms lovingly andforted him. "It okay. Mommy will help you to take care of it if you really want one. We''ll take things step by step.


    I just know that you''ll be a good owner.”


    Arron''s eyes lit up happily. "Okay! I promise ''ll take care of it. Thank you, Mommy!"


    “You''re wee. Now close your eyes and get some sleep. We have a long way ahead of us." I propped him on myp, patted his back, and


    hummed him a luby.


    Arron didn''t say anything more. He closed his eyes obediently and soon fell asleep.


    Around half an hourter, we arrived at the airport. The driver got out of the car and carefully carried Beryl out while I got out from the other side with


    Arron in my arms.


    As soon as I stepped out of the car,


    Arron woke.lp and started


    squirming,He wasn''t even fully


    awake yet, but he tried to help me


    with the I heavy luggage. The sweet,


    considerate boy never failed.to


    warm my heart.

    Still, I didn''t let him carry anything. I just asked him to follow me closely and keep an eye on Beryl.


    The earliest flight to the neighboring city was to take off at half past six, so we still had two hours to kill. Perfect for a hearty breakfast.


    Warren had arranged for us to stay in a private lounge, so we had breakfast there.


    After gobbling up an omelet. Arron fell asleep again on myp.


    As for me, myplex emotions kept me up. Whenever I closed my eyes. I''d see scenes of my past with Rufus.

    Arron nedded and fell silent.


    When it was our turn, the staff took our ID cards to run our names through the system.


    Minutes ticked by. Somehow, I felt a little uneasy and held Arron''s hand tighter.


    "There''s something wrong with the system. Please wait a moment.”


    The staff stopped me, Arron, Beryl and the driver at the checkpoint.
