Chapter 1239 Breakfast Interrupted


    Crystal''s POV:


    Because of what happened to Arron, I nearly forgot all about Ad.


    But the moment I saw the she-wolf, my expression darkened as I suddenly recalled that Rufus had been fooled into thinking Ad was his mate.


    The mere thought of that made me so angry. I put down my knife and fork, having lost my appetitepletely.


    Ad was well-dressed, as usual. She looked like a delicate, beautiful flower. Anyone who saw her would''ve gaped in admiration.


    But this she-wolf was brainless. The second she opened her mouth, she put off anyone unfortunate enough to be within earshot.


    I feigned an innocent expression and looked at Rufus questioningly. "Who''s this pretty girl?"


    "I''m the king''s mate!" Ad blurted, jutting out her chin proudly.


    I sneered inwardly and widened my eyes in disbelief. "Rufus, didn''t you say that I''m your mate? Who the hell is she?"


    "She''s a nobody," Rufus answered simply, frowning in Ad''s direction.


    With sharp eyes, he said to Ad coldly, "Didn''t I say that no one''s allowed toe in here without my permission?"


    Ad was frightened by Rufus''s coldness, but she still tried to defend herself. "I''m your mate, Your Majesty! Don''t you care about me?" Rufus''s patience was running thin. Suddenly, a thought urred to him and his expression darkened. "There''s something I''ve been meaning to ask you, Ad."


    "What''s that?" I interjected coldly. It seemed that Rufus wanted to have a private conversation with Ad, and I wasn''t happy about it.


    "You''d better not get involved. We''re mates. I''m afraid you''ll feel embarrassed, since you''re an outsider..." Ad said, pretending to be considerate.


    I was secretly amused, but I needed to maintain my act as the scorned mate. I grabbed Rufus'' hand and red at him fiercely. "What the hell is going on, Rufus? You said I''m your mate. Who is this fake?"


    "I''ll exin everythingter." Rufus squeezed my hand reassuringly.


    I shook my head stubbornly. I wanted him to exin to me now. Perhaps if I threw a violent tantrum right now, he''d kick me out of the pce and I''d be free!


    Ad also took the opportunity to fan the mes. "You are just a ything for the king, but I''m his mate. The Moon Goddess is never wrong. If anyone here is a fake, it''s you!"


    I managed to resist the urge to roll my eyes at her. Pouting, I turned to Rufus and sobbed aggrievedly. "Liar! You said that you loved me, but it turns out you''ve had a different mate this whole time. We have two children for crying out loud! Have


    you no shame?"


    Seeing the tears in my eyes, Rufus panicked and wiped my tears away hastily. "Don''t cry. It''s reallyplicated. I swear I''ll exin everything to youter."All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "No! I want you to exin now! The more you stall, the guiltier you look. Oh, now I get it-you two are having an affair, aren''t you?! That''s it. I''m done. need to be alone." My eyes were red from sobbing

    uncontrobly, ying the role of a shrew to a tee.


    Even the calm and organized Rufus looked helpless at this moment.


    Secretly, I felt satisfied. Ad was no match for me in acting and she had to admit defeat for now.


    "My King, let''s get out of here. She looks like she''s having a meltdown." Ad grabbed Rufus''s arm and tried to drag him away, but I pounced on her mercilessly.


    "How dare you flirt with my mate in front of me?!" I shouted in a shrill voice.


    Rufus was at aplete loss. "Crystal, calm down," was all he could say.


    "Oh, so you''re Crystal. I thought you were disfigured," Ad blurted, looking me up and down in surprise. "I don''t know what you''re talking about. can''t stand the sound your voice. Get out!" I didn''t want to argue with her anymore, so started shoving her and Rufus towards the door.
