The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 1042

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.
