The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 929

Rufus' POV:

The masked she-wolf claimed to be the girl's mother, but my first instinct was to not believe her. However, when I saw the sadness in her eyes, I couldn't help but feel that she was telling the truth.

The girl in my arms slumped her shoulders. It seemed she was also in a bad mood.

The she-wolf's hand holding the candies slowly dropped to her side, and her dark green eyes were full of disappointment. At this moment, my heart inexplicably softened. Before I could stop myself, I suddenly blurted, "You're married?"

The second those two words left my mouth, I regretted it. Her personal affairs had nothing to do with me.

Just then, I happened to meet the she-wolf's eyes. Her beautiful eyes looked just like the little girl's.

At that moment, I finally believed they were indeed mother and daughter.

The she-wolf started to shake her head at first, but then she seemed to realize something and nodded awkwardly instead.

I narrowed my eyes at her suspiciously. Something wasn't right about her reaction. Before I could press her further, the she-wolf spoke first.

"Her father abandoned us and eloped with another she-wolf before she was born."

As she spoke, she gritted her teeth and looked angry. It seemed that she really was a poor single mother.

But the thought of this she-wolf was actually married and even had a kid made me very irritable. I didn't know why. It was a feeling more difficult to deal with than a tricky official document.

"I never thought that the man who promised to be with me for the rest of his life would suddenly change his mind. But fortunately, I have my Beryl. She's the greatest gift God has given me." With tears in her eyes, the she-wolf looked at the little girl lovingly. I happened to notice that the skin around her eyes looked flawless.
