Crystal's POV:
Early in the morning, I made breakfast and was about to take it back to my room when my servant hurried in with an exquisite gift box.
"What's this?" I eyed the package curiously. It was delicately wrapped with a silk ribbon.
"It's a gift from the lycan king," the servant answered. After leaving the gift box on the table, he bowed respectfully and then left.
I looked at the gift box in surprise mixed with fear and curiosity.
What the hell was Rufus up to? Why did he send me a gift first thing in the morning? Did he really have that much time on is hands?
Thinking of the time I spent with Rufus yesterday, I suddenly wondered if he started to remember something. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent me a gift out of the blue.
This was the kind of thing the old Rufus would do.
Biting my lower lip, I stared at the box motionlessly for a long time. I was scared I'd see the photo of us from five years ago. But if he really remembered the past, it would be too late for me to run away now.
I gingerly picked up the gift box and shook it, but it was so heavy that I almost dropped it.
Arron bounded down the stairs at this time. Curious, he walked around the gift box barefoot and kept asking me what was in it.
Even I didn't know the answer, so I had to take a deep breath and then open the gift box.
To my surprise, it only contained books about parenting—How To Be A Good Mother, How To Cultivate A Sensible Child In 100 Days, and How To Prevent Your Child From Becoming Naughty.
I was speechless. What went on in Rufus' head these days?
I didn't even bother to glance at the books. I just tossed them into the room without much thought.
