Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 1121 – Leave The Children In The Palace
Crystal’s POV:
After we finished discussing Lucy, I asked Laura about Beryl. I left without saying goodbye to Beryl today, so I was worried that she would be furious.
At the mention of Beryl, Laura’s voice became much more relaxed.
“Beryl did well today. She will spend the night at Rufus’ place. And he will drop her off at school tomorrow.”
Relieved to know that my daughter was all right, I was about to bid goodbye to Laura. As I was about to end the conversation, Laura hesitantly said, “Well… There is one more thing I wanted to discuss with you.”
“What is it?”
I was baffled.
Laura rarely beat around the bush like this.
“Crystal, have you ever considered revealing Beryl’s and Arron’s true ident*ities and letting them stay in the imperial palace?” Laura asked tentatively in a soft voice.
My heart sank and my breath became shallow when I heard this.
Just as I was about to refuse, Laura hurriedly added, “Arron is exceptionally talented and the lycan power from both his parents runs in his veins. He is the perfect candidate for the heir to the crown. Beryl has also adapted well to palace life. And she has an inherent affection for Rufus. The educational
facilities in the imperial capital are superior to those of the border pack. Don’t you think this would be beneficial to the children?”
Although Laura’s explanation was reasonable, it didn’t move me and even made me want to oppose her.
Without a second’s hesitation, I bluntly refused, saying, “I won’t allow my children to grow up with a stepmother. And I certainly won’t let them become another Richard.”
“Crystal, you shouldn’t think in that direction…”
Laura paused for a moment, battling with hesitation. She sighed but was still reluctant to give up.
“You can’t always continue like this. All children need their father. Arron and Beryl are eager for their father’s love, and his presence is favorable to their development.”
“But children also need their mother,” I immediately retorted and disconnected the call.
I could feel the rage boiling inside me. I picked up the teapot on the table and hurriedly gulped down two cup of tea before I finally felt better. I understood that Laura missed her grandchildren immensely.
That was the reason I had tried my best to create opportunities for her to meet the kids over the years.
However, she wasn’t satisfied with it.
Instead, she wanted more now.
Considering that Arron was still next to me, I worked hard to restrain my emotions, not wanting him to notice anything unusual.
Rufus was trouble.
Now Laura became another cause for concern, trying to take my kids away from me. I ma*s*saged my temples and could feel a headache coming on.
Once again, I regretted coming to the imperial capital city.
Everything was spinning out of control.
Not only could I not return to the border, but Arron and Beryl might also be kept back here.
My mind went to Ian. He hadn’t seen us in so long. He must miss us so much.
Had he been found? I decided to make a phone call tomorrow.
Just then, Arron came to me and gently asked, “Mommy, what’s wrong?”
I hastily hid my dark expression and pasted a bright smile on my face.
Then, I turned around and embraced him.
“Sweetie, do you want to hear a story?”
Arron nodded animatedly, his eyes shining brightly with happiness.
“Yes! I wanna hear a fairy tale!” As he said this, he extended his chubby fingers and stroked my eyebrows.
“Mommy, don’t be angry. Your eyebrows are wrinkled,”
