The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 1028

Crystal's POV:

With my eyes wide open, I immediately pushed Rufus away.

He seemed dumbfounded after the unexpected kiss, and he turned his head away awkwardly.

A little embarrassed, I wiped my lips with the back of my hand. Although our lips only locked for a few seconds, there was still a tingling feeling on my lips. Rufus and I kept silent for a long time. Neither of us spoke as we tried to calm down.

Rufus suddenly cleared his throat and turned to look at me. His face was now calm. He even straightened his suit as if nothing had happened. After that, he got to his feet and extended a hand to me, "Come on. Get up."

I was still a little shy and annoyed. Looking at his hand, I bit my lips and slapped it away before getting up from the ground on my own.

Rufus kept a straight face and didn't seem to mind it. He then calmly sat on the couch and said, "Anyway, you need to stay here to cooperate with the investigation. You are not allowed to leave the capital city without my permission."

I tightened my lips and remained silent. Ultimately, I realized that it was pointless to argue with him, knowing that he had already made up his mind.

As far as I was concerned, I knew he was only doing it to keep Flora and the others from paying me a visit. Rufus didn't even give me a chance to ask them for help. It seemed that he was really serious about this.

I shot him a furious glare and uttered, "Your Majesty, you're really putting a lot of effort in this matter. I hope you find something valuable in your investigation. Otherwise..."
