Laura's POV:
Faced with Rufus' inquiring eyes, I took the stance of a mother again and said in a nagging voice, "It's only because you won't find a mate and have a child. All my friends already have grandchildren. And you? You don't even have a girlfriend. At such an old age, I still have to worry about this matter for you every day."
Rufus was at a loss for words and he colored a little.
I scoffed and continued, "Of course we'll have to invite Crystal to the ball, since we extend the invitation all the Alphas. But I'm not certain if she will come or not. That's her choice then. We can't force anyone to attend this ball."
In fact, I was sure Crystal would not attend the ball. She was doing everything in her power to avoid Rufus. Why would she come to the party thrown by him?
Rufus didn't continue the topic. In an indifferent voice, he said, "I'll leave this matter to you, mother."
I nodded and calmly picked up my phone, asking my subordinate to come and plan the ball with me.
Soon, he arrived bearing a stack of delicate invitation letters in his hands. I gave him the guest list and asked him to start addressing the invitations.
Then I handed a few blank invitations to Rufus, in case he required them.
After we were done with the invitations, I instructed my people to deliver them to the representatives of all the packs. That concluded the ball arrangements.
"I've also ordered someone to create a mask for you. You can try it on later." After deciding on the food menu, I turned around and looked at Rufus, who had been quietly sitting on the sofa. He was just as obedient as Arron. The scene was similar to one from Rufus' childhood. He always sat in one place quietly and waited for me when I was occupied.
My heart softened. I asked him, "Do you have any other pending work tonight? Would you like to have dinner with me?"
"Sure," he instantly agreed and came closer to me to go over the ball arrangements with me.
