Chapter 1045 Praise From The King
Crystal''s POV:
Learning why Beryl said it was her birthday, I agreed to have dinner with Rufus to celebrate such an important day.
Rufus’ expression softened considerably, and he said, “Then, I''ll wait for you. It''s seven o''clock tonight."
I nodded. "Okay. I''ll head back first to get changed and prepare a present for Beryl.”
After that, Rufus and I went our separate ways.
I hurried back to prepare a gift for Beryl. I thought I could get it done in half an hour, but it turned out I overestimated myself. Now, I was going to be
late. I put the gift into a small bag I had prepared, quickly changed into a dress, groomed my hair, chose a lovely mask, and then rushed to the lycan
king''s pce
When I eventually got there, dinner had already begun. Both Rufus and Laura were there, but Beryl didn''t have any reaction to my arrival. She was
eating with her head down while Laura sat next to her and helped wipe her mouth from time to time.
I set the gift down and took a seat next to Rufus.
Rufus looked sideways at me and praised, "This mask looks more beautiful than the one before."
"Thank you." I couldn''t think of anything to say, so I just let out an awkwardugh. Maybe I had quarreled with Rufus too much recently, that when I
heard him praise me, I got the weird feeling that perhaps he was actually mocking me. If things kept going like this. I would probably suffer a nervous
breakdown anytime soon.
Laura seemed to notice my difort. so she perked up a conversation with me. "So how''s your life in the imperial pce? If you need anything. just
let us know.”
"Everything is nice here. I''m just a little worried about my pack." I settled my gift next to Beryl as I talked to Laura
Laura replied with a smile, "I''m sure you can go back soon."
AS soon as those words left Laura''s
lips, Rufus ingmediately coughed. I
wasn''t sureN￥ he did it on purpose.
Hearing that, Laura immediately x
changed her mind. "You don''t >
actually need to return in such z a
hurry. Rufus’ man is now in charge
ofyour pack. I anticipate fo
problems."
I secretly grumbled at Rufus while keeping a phony smile on my face. “That''s true. With the king''s help, everything will be alright.”
Laura smiled and then ordered the servants to serve the main dish.
Beryl was served a codfish fillet because she liked eating fish. Meanwhile, I had steak, as so did Laura and Rufus.
The dishes were just as delectable as I remembered. I had been so busy dealing with Rufus since I came back this time that I hadn''t even had time to
enjoy life in the imperial pce.
I figured I should calm down and get back to my normal life now that I had made the decision to temporarily stay here.
The fish fillet was a big hit with Beryl. She already had two helpings. and when she requested for a third one, Rufus stopped her, fearing that she
would have a stomach acheter for eating too much.
Beryl stared at the empty te, obviously still craving for more. But she listened to Rufus, and said, "Okay, I''ll listen to you, Daddy."
Worried that Beryl would be upset,
Laura patiently coaxed her, '' Keep
some reom in your little tummyfor
later. Fhe dinner hasn''t finished yet.
There” are a lot of delicious foods
that I haven''t been served." Content

A big smile broke into Beryl’s face as she answered ecstatically, “Okay! I can still eat a lot!"

Seeing Berylughing, I sighed silently. Although she appeared to be very cheerful, I could tell that she wasn''t truly pleased. There seemed to be
something missing in her smile.
I caressed Beryl''s head and asked in a low voice, "What''s wrong, sweetie? What is bothering you?”
