The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 546

Sylvia's POV:

As expected, Rufus and I found Alva in the abandoned children's park with Felix. Together, they were eating Alva's favorite tiramisu cake at the stone table.

As soon as Alva heard my voice from afar, she instantly put down her fork and hopped off the bench, making her way to me.

"I'm here, Alva!" I smiled. I crouched down and caught her in my arms.

Alva nestled her face into my neck and placed her little hands on my arms. "Young lady, you finally came to visit me!"

I playfully bounced her up and down. "Of course. Have you been eating well, Alva?"

"Yes, I have! For two days, I've been eating pizza! My favorite!" Alva nodded enthusiastically, her lips still reddish pink from the coldness of the cream.

I brought out my handkerchief and wiped her mouth. I then scooped her up and walked back to the stone table.

Felix was standing there nervously. He didn't seem to know what to do with his hands and feet. His eyes, which looked very similar to Alva's, flickered with helplessness.

"What are you doing over there? You're stiff as a piece of wood." I playfully ruffled Felix's hair and smiled.

As Alva wrapped her arms around my neck, she waved her hand at Felix. "Felix, why are you so quiet? Come here!"

Felix turned red and he avoided any eye contact. He didn't want to look at me. After a long period of silence, he finally opened his mouth.

"Thank you. For the other day."

I shook my head. "Don't mention it. It's all over now. What's important is how we move forward."

"Okay..." Felix awkwardly agreed and fiddled with his fingers.

Rufus checked his watch and suddenly remembered something. He turned to Felix. "By the way, do you know where I can find the director or whoever in charge of the orphanage? Can you take me to them?"

"Yes, I know where he is. He's usually in the teaching building. I can take you to him, Prince Rufus." Felix stood up straight and quickly offered to help Rufus.

Rufus gently kissed my forehead. "I need to have a talk with the director regarding an expansion of the orphanage. Just wait for me here."
