Laura's POV:
In the video, Sylvia sat aside, evidently lost in her thoughts. Needless to say, she must be thinking about Rufus. She had been Alpha for a while now, and able to manage the pack efficiently; however, she could not hide her thoughts on certain things. They were all clearly written on her face. slallh thi FindNovil.not website on Gøøgle to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
As expected, her ears perked up when I mentioned Rufus.
I was amused and my heart melted, so I told her something about Rufus.
The kids didn't understand what I meant and kept asking me what a lycan was and why I called him king.
It was difficult for me to answer. No one had ever asked me such a tricky question.
I was deep in thought when Rufus suddenly barged in.
Shocked and flabbergasted at the same time, my phone fell to the ground.
Rufus wanted to help me pick it up, but I got to it first.
Befuddled, he asked in furrowed brows, "What's wrong? You look flustered."
"Nothing. Why didn't you ask the guard to let me know before you came in?" With a deep breath, I was able to pull myself back together. I guessed that Rufus didn't hear or see anything.
"Well, I did. But the guard said that you didn't answer the door. I was worried, so I came in to check on you." Rufus changed the subject and asked, "Who were you video chatting with? I haven't seen you this happy in a long time."
He joined me on the couch and eyed me curiously.
I started to sweat profusely and stuffed the phone down the crevice of the couch. Then I pretended to be calm and prepared tea. "No one. It's just my friend."
"I think I heard a child's voice," said Rufus.
My hand holding the tea cup froze. Then, in my embarrassment, I feigned an angry expression. "What's wrong with that? My friend has a grandson. She just showed me the little boy. You are over 30 years old, but still single. When will you give me a grandson that I can show off to my friends?"
Rufus fell silent. His handsome eyebrows wrinkled and eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
I let out a sigh of relief, poured a small cup of tea, and pushed it in front of him.
Actually, I already had two wonderful grandchildren, so I didn't think it was necessary to encourage Rufus to get married.
I would respect Rufus' opinions if he didn't want to get married any time soon.
However, the elders of the royal family had been urging him to get married for some time now. At their monthly meetings, they would always open the topic of marriage to him.
And because he didn't take their words seriously, the elders came to me. As for me, I just shrugged it off and told Rufus to deal with it.
After several attempts, the elders eventually conceded that it wasn't going to work. They stopped reminding him every month and only mentioned it every half a year.
I calmly sipped my tea and inquired, "What's up?"
I couldn't help but urge him. After all, the video call with my precious grandchildren had been cut short because of his unexpected arrival.
Indulging in his tea at his own leisure, Rufus pondered for some time. "It's time for me to get married."
I almost spat out the mouthful of tea and asked in surprise, "You're getting married? Who are you going to marry? Why are you mentioning this all of a sudden?"

I was rendered speechless for a while. "Marriage is a big deal. You can't be so casual about it. You have to marry a woman you love. Getting a divorce when you realize you're not a good match isn't really an option now that you're the lycan king." The content is on Popsnovel.com! Read the latest chapter there!

"I don't care. I just need to marry a woman to continue my bloodline and I believe that is what the ministers and the public want. Besides, didn't you always want to have a grandchild?" Rufus looked at me seriously. The content is on Popsnovel.com! Read the latest chapter there!
