Chapter 1137 She Is Arrogant
Rufus’ POV:
I had already been informed of the matter on the way here.
Arron was missing.
No wonder Crystal had made such a ruckus.
But I still couldn't control the anger I felt at her impulsiveness.
Instead of first coming to me, she took her own people to create trouble in the imperial palace.
Neither did she consider my feelings, nor did she take me seriously.I'd thought that I would give her a severe dressing down when I saw her.
However, when I saw her pained eyes, my heart softened.I couldn't continue being angry with her, let alone blame her.I could see that she was anxious, but pretending to be strong.
When she met my eyes, I was even overwhelmed by the impulse to wrap my arms around her.I inwardly sighed.
This she-wolf had really bewitched me.
She had pushed my buttons several times, but I was willing to change my principles for her.I had probably lost my mind.I inhaled deeply to calm myself down.
Without telling her anything, I turned around and ordered the guards beside me, "Lock down the imperial palace compound.Anyone who wants to leave must undergo a rigorous inspection.Don't allow anyone to take the kid outside.Go and probe everyone's whereabouts tonight and find witnesses.If
anyone behaves suspiciously, bring them here, whether the person is a guard, an elder, or their family member."
All the guards instantly left to carry out my orders, leaving only Crystal and me.I turned my attention back to her, and saw that her eyes were red.
She was obviously still upset.She tugged on my sleeve.Her anger was gone, replaced by a sheepish expression.
"Did we make too big a fuss?"
Crystal asked in a slightly frightened voice while tilting her head a little. novelbin
I was very satisfied with her contriteness, but I didn't reveal it on my face.
She probably knew she was wrong making a scene.
If I hadn't arrived here in time, she would have torn this place apart with her people.
What an ignorant she-wolf! She was behaving herself right now, but she might dare to disobey me again in the future.
She disregarded discipline and authority.She was probably the only person who didn't take me seriously.
I snorted.
"Now you realize that you've kicked up a big fuss? If I didn't come, what were you going to do with these elders? You're not scared of anything, are you?"
Crystal lowered her head and silently dropped her eyes to her feet, looking like a student being lectured by a teacher.I looked at the top of her head and stopped reprimanding her.I didn't know why, but I bean felt sorry for her.I inwardly sighed deeply and it dawned on me that she had captured my heart.I would be furious if she made a mistake, but I wouldn't be able to hold her responsible.
In the end, I couldn't stop myself from touching her head.
This soft touch melted my heart, and I couldn't rebuke her anymore.
The restlessness I felt in my heart settled at this moment, and a sense of satisfaction flowed through me.I reluctantly pulled back my hand.
In a softer voice, I said, "It's not been long since Arron disappeared.He and the kidnapper must still be in the palace compound.I'll locate them even if I have to search every nook and cranny of the entire imperial palace."
