Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 1042 Ran Away From Home
Crystal’s POV:
Just then, Rufus had to take a call and left Beryl with me. Beryl was focused on the origami bunny and didn’t care about Rufus’ leaving at all. She just waved at him goodbye and then proceeded to play with the candy wrappers.
Smiling helplessly, Rufus sighed and rubbed her head before leaving in a hurry.
Now that I was alone with Beryl, I tried to get my daughter to talk to me. I wanted to ask if she was alienating me now because I had used witchcraft on her previously. But after prodding her a little, I found that she didn’t seem to even know about the witchcraft. She just remembered falling asleep after talking to me.
If that was the case, then she shouldn’t have had any reason to distance herself from me again. So could the witchcraft have affected her mental state? Thinking of this, I felt a little nervous and couldn’t help but ask Beryl several times if she felt uncomfortable.
But she simply shook her head, focused on her work. She didn’t even raise her head. Although she allowed me to touch her, she didn’t want to talk to me at all.
“So… Baby Beryl just hates Mommy?” I asked at last, feeling distressed.
Beryl didn’t show any signs of recollecting her memory. At the ball, I had thought that she was finally warming up to me and willing to accept me, but it turned out that it was only a flash in the pan. Beryl’s head stayed down as she tinkered with the origami bunny’s ears, keeping silent for a long time. At this time, a teacher came to take Beryl for nap time. I quickly tidied up Beryl’s clothes and braided her hair before sending her away.
Beryl stuck out her lower lip and kept stealing glances at me, seemingly a little unhappy.
I smiled at her and said gently, “It’s nap time. Go on.” Beryl held the teacher’s hand. She kept turning around to look at me as they walked away. I waved at her unwillingly.
Unexpectedly, Beryl shrugged off the teacher’s hand and ran back to me. With a straight face, she grabbed my hand and said in a baby-like voice, “Baby Beryl doesn’t hate Mommy.”
All of a sudden, my heart exploded with joy. I quickly squatted down and threw my arms around her. “Of course, Baby Beryl.”
Beryl squirmed slightly, muttering, “And remember to bring Arron next time. I miss him.” Then she quickly slipped out of my embrace and raced back to the teacher. When they were about to step inside the elevator, she turned around and made a face at me.
I burst into laughter and waved at her goodbye.
I didn’t need to take care of the children on my first work day. Under the guidance of the instructor, I soon grew familiar with the teaching system there and how to manage the children’s play area. The kids usually went to the kindergarten at half past eight in the morning and went home at half past four in the afternoon. There were three different courses a day. Most of the time, the teachers would make the children learn by playing games that encouraged them to think independently.
The kindergarten grounds occupied a very large area. Then, across a long bridge was the royal primary school. After graduation from the royal kindergarten, most of the children would move on to study at the royal primary school.
I toured around the grounds for a while until I came across another exit that lead to a bustling street. Upon checking the map on my phone, I saw that it was around two miles away from the imperial palace.
I went to buy some snacks for Arron and Beryl and then retraced my steps to pick Beryl up from the school.
Beryl was a little prideful, so I knew she just wanted me to work hard to win her over.
However, on my way back, I received a call from my pack. It turned out that Ian had run away from home.
