Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 1099 He Had A Child
Adela’s POV:
I was taken aback by the sound of a child’s voice. I turned around and saw a gorgeous little girl standing in the doorway. Her white dress and lustrous blond curls made her look like a cherub.
She looked anything but angelic at the moment, though. The little one stood with her hands akimbo, her teeth bared as she glared at me in unmistakable animosity.
I felt embarra*s*sed by her clear, bright gaze. I quickly shifted away from Rufus, buttoning my shirt as I went. Then, I grabbed the stockings I had discarded on the floor and stuffed them into my pocket.
When I raised my head again, I found that she-wolf who had been dead set on keeping me away from Rufus was standing beside the little girl. She shot me a knowing look, not even bothering to hide the mockery in her eyes.
From what I had heard from the guards, she was the Alpha from the border pack. She was touted to be a capable and fierce fighter. I believed them, especially given the deformity on her face. And I was convinced that her character was just as flawed. I didn’t know how long the child and the she-wolf had been there. Did they see me trying to seduce Rufus? The b*itc*h had been against me since the first night we met. I had no doubt she must be laughing at my foiled attempt.
I lowered my head and tried to appear mortified. Then I peeked at Rufus through my lashes and noticed some color in his cheeks. It seemed that he was even more embarra*s*sed than I was. He lifted the blankets, getting out of bed to put on his coat. Although his expression didn’t change much, I managed to catch a glimpse of the telltale bulge in his c*rotc*h.
I felt better in an instant, knowing that anyone who saw it would inevitably presume that something was going on between us.
I tried not to smirk in satisfaction. Judging by Rufus ‘ scowl, he was probably mad about that bold she- wolf barging into his room without warning. Rufus was the lycan king, after all. He might have been able to overlook a single occurrence, but if it happened twice or thrice, it was a blatant breach in etiquette. It only made sense that he punished the wench.
Sure enough, he glared at the she-wolf and demanded, “What are you doing here?”
But she seemed to be unfazed by his cold eyes.
“Beryl was making a fuss since she hasn’t seen you for days.”
As if on cue, the little girl immediately chimed in. “That’s right, Daddy! Beryl has not seen you for a long time! You don’t miss me at all, do you?” Without waiting for an answer, she let go of the she -wolf’s hand and dashed into the room, throwing herself into Rufus’ arms. “Daddy! Beryl missed you so much that I had a toothache.”
My eyes widened in shock. What the hell was going on? Rufus had a child?!
I gaped at Rufus in utter bewilderment, hoping that he would get rid of the brat and warn her to never call him her “Daddy” again. Surely, she was mistaken!
To my horror, however, Rufus did none of that. Instead, he smiled at the girl, picked her up, and pressed a kiss on her forehead. “Daddy missed you, too, Beryl,” he said in a gentle voice that I had never heard before. “Why did you have a toothache, hmm? Open your mouth. Let Daddy check if you’re losing your baby teeth.”
“I’m not losing my teeth! I just missed Daddy so much. I was under a lot of stress, and my teeth hurt.” The girl pursed her lips into a pout, even as she reached out and removed the sapphire cuff-link from one of Rufus’ sleeves.
Without missing a beat, Rufus also took off his luxury watch and handed it over for her to play with. “Daddy didn’t mean to ignore you,” he coaxed. “I have just been too busy recently, and didn’t have the time to see you.”
I was so appalled by what I was hearing that my knees almost gave out beneath me, and the catchphrase I had worked so hard to forget just burst out of my mouth.
“What the f*uc*k?”
