Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 890
Laura’s POV:
I didn’t understand. Rufus had no intention of getting married before, and he didn’t have any interest in any she-wolf. Why did he suddenly change his mind?
Rufus fiddled with his ring, as if what he said was nothing. “I’m about to turn 35. Now it’s time to train the heir.”
I frowned at his reason. I still thought it was wrong to make a hasty decision about this matter. Rufus didn’t know that he had already had two kids. Besides, he couldn’t just marry a random woman he didn’t love and have children with her!
But I had another motive. I thought of my two grandchildren who were far away at the border.
Sad to say, I had no idea when I would next get to see them and hold them in my arms.
With this in my mind, I had no interest in the matter Rufus mentioned anymore.
“Do you have any suggestions, Mom?” Rufus asked.
To be honest, I was at a loss. However, Rufus was my biological son, and I was still obligated to take care of him.
“What kind of woman do you like?”
“It doesn’t matter. You can arrange it for me,” Rufus said and left this matter to me.
I curled my lips and glanced at him from the corner of my eyes. Now he was asking me to take care of it. Why wasn’t he so filial and obedient back then? Had he listened to me, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.
To be honest, I wasn’t motivated to do this for him at all. It was too troublesome to choose a wife for Rufus. I once chose Alina after careful consideration, but didn’t expect her to be such a treacherous woman. Now she remained locked up in prison.
The only thing I wanted to do now was to take back my two grandchildren. This would guarantee Rufus an heir.
“Mom, are you worried about anything?” Rufus asked, seeming to notice the shift in my disposition.
“I’m not worried about anything. But I just think that you should choose a woman you like.” I sighed.
“It’s enough that you like her,” Rufus said confidently.
I nearly let out a snarl at what he said. Everything Rufus said made me realize how naive I had been. I thought I had picked out the “perfect” daughter-in-law. But ultimately it proved that I was greatly mistaken.
I touched my face, as if it was still burning with shame.
“Mom, is there something wrong?” Rufus asked, raising his eyebrows.
“No, I just thought of something from the past. But you have to choose a wife by yourself. You should find the right person. It’s useless that I like her. You are the one who is going to marry her, not me. If I choose the wrong woman, you would blame me.” A hint of blame crept into my voice as I spoke. If only Rufus had been obedient as he was now, then everything would have probably been different by now.
Rufus uttered in confusion, “Mom, it sounds like you’re blaming me.”
“No, I was just saying it.” I laughed awkwardly, and we both drank our tea in silence.
In recent years, Rufus had become noticeably quieter. He had always been a reserved person, but now he became even so.
I sighed in my heart. In fact, I really felt sorry for him. After all, he was my only son and I I loved and cared about him.
And Sylvia too.
She was far away from the capital city. No matter how hard I tried, they just weren’t meant to be together. Rufus had already lost her and it might be Moon Goddess’s will.
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly popped into my head. I looked at Rufus with my eyes wide and said ecstatically, “Why don’t we hold a ball? We can invite women of marriageable age from various packs. And if by then you’re feeling particularly romantic toward someone, you can marry her.”
“Mom, is it really a good idea?” Rufus frowned.
“You told me to handle this matter, and this is how I am planning to handle it!” I responded irritably.
