Chapter 1054 Daddy Abandoned Me
Crystal''s POV:
"Is Rufus aware of this?" I asked.
ir sighed. "He already knows. I''m guessing that he will take action soon. I''m afraid there won''t be any peace to speak of in theing days. You
must be vignt while you''re in the imperial capital. You''ve been the Alpha of the border pack for five years, and the vampires hold a lot of grudges
against you. Some of them might even be very familiar with your identity. If you''re not careful, you might get exposed to Rufus."
"All right, I understand. I promise to be more careful.”
After ending the call, I walked back to look for my son. He was squatting on a patch of grass and ying with mud.
I called out his name, and Arron scampered toward me and clutched my hand. “Where have you been, Mommy? I''ve been waiting for you for a long
time."
I bent over and picked him up. "Mommy had to take a call. Let''s head back, shall we? Mommy will make you some cookies.”
"Okay!"
The next day, I had breakfast with my son and prepared to go to the kindergarten alone. Arron knew that Beryl was also at the school, and he made
no effort to hide his envy. He followed close behind me as I went around the house and packed my things.
I held him close, trying to brush off the guilt that pierced my heart. "I''m so sorry, Baby. I can''t take you to the kindergarten for the time being. Just give
Mommy a few days, okay? Once I get rid of the problems, I''ll take you to see your sister.”
Arron was clever enough not to ask me what I meant. He simply nodded inplete faith. "Okay, Mommy. Don''t worry, I''ll be good and wait for you
here. You can go by yourself.”
I caressed his chubby little face. "Listen. sweetheart. If you feel sad or bored, you can ask Uncle Harm to take you to see Grandma."
Harm was my subordinate. He had often yed with Arron back when we were in the border pack.
"Okay, Mommy. Hurry up, or you''ll bete.” Arron pushed me to the door with his stubby little arms.
I nced at my watch, hurriedly gathered my purse and headed out.
When I arrived at the school, I had to take a moment to calm my anxiety and before walking into the ssroom. Today was my first day, and I was a
little nervous.
Fortunately, I only had ten students in my ss, so it wasn''t too tiring. They were very obedient and well-behaved, too, which was a bonus.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.

I walked around the teacher''s table and approached my daughter. “Hey there, Baby Beryl. Is anything wrong? I get the feeling that you are unhappy
about something."
The little girl turned to look at me, her eyes filled with tears. "I didn''t see Daddy this morning," she said, sounding aggrieved. "I searched everywhere
but didn''t find him. Did he abandon me?"

My daughter snaked her arms around my neck and clung to me. "No, Daddy left the pce. I asked Grandma, but she doesn''t know when he will be
back.”
Beryl was choking on her sobs as she spoke.
I was surprised to hear that Rufus had left the imperial pce so suddenly. Then I thought back to my phone call with ir. Had he gone out to deal
with the vampires?
