The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 923

Crystal's POV:

I smiled faintly and explained, "Laura's actually a soft-hearted person when you get to know her. We've stayed in touch for all these years. Both she and Ethan have helped me a lot in secret so that I could gain a foothold in the border pack."

"When they announced your sentencing five years ago, I opposed Laura in public and said a lot of harsh words. I think she'll never want to see me again." Smiling awkwardly, Harry scratched the back of his head.

"You were only trying to protect me back then. Laura wouldn't take it to heart. In fact, the last time we talked, she told me about you and Joanna. She was very happy for you two." I sighed and took Joanna's hand. I locked eyes with her and asked seriously, "So when do you two plan to get married?"

For the first time, I saw Joanna blush. She averted her gaze and muttered, "Don't know yet. It's not the time to talk about it."

"Very soon! Just wait and see," Harry cut in, unable to contain his excitement.

Joanna shot him a glare, but she didn't say anything. She really loved that goofball.

I chuckled. I felt happy for them. After so many years, Harry finally was about to start a family of his own.

Joanna pursed her lips and changed the subject. "Anyway... Why'd you come here for the military parade? Aren't you afraid that Rufus will recognize you?"

"I had to come." I shrugged helplessly and told them about what Rufus had done to make me come this year.

After hearing that, Harry burst into laughter. "Damn! Rufus is really good at this. He's forcing you to surrender. Are you two playing a game of cat and mouse or—"

Joanna was also amused, but she hurried to clamp her palm over Harry's mouth, preventing him from saying anything more.
