Chapter 351 Parents

Rufus’ POV:

For a split second, my heart softened.

My father had went through great lengths looking for a way to remove my curse. And I also knew that he was worried about me but felt guilty that he couldn’t find a way to help me, which eventually caused his own deteriorating condition.

I understood where his sadness and helplessness was coming from, and I knew he was telling me the truth.

But when all was said and done, I knew that I wasn’t as important to him as the throne and the continuation of his bloodline.

My father put our bloodline on a pedestal. I wondered how he would react if he found out that the baby Lucy was carrying might not be Richard’s…

For a moment, I wanted to tell him. But the truth was just too cruel. Even I didn’t have the heart to break it to him, especially when I looked into his wrinkled, sunken eyes.

“Fine. I promise. If we don’t find a way to get rid of the curse, I’ll support Lucy’s child to inherit the throne.”

My father finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he closed his eyes and winced. “Go and see your mother now. She is very dissatisfied with how you handled things earlier. You need to solve this matter by yourself. There is nothing I can do to help.”

His tone was sullen, as if something was weighing him down in his mind. An unnatural expression appeared on his old face.

I shrugged. I was under the impression that my mother had also given him a hard time because of Richard.

I excused myself and stood up to go find my mother.

But before leaving, I turned around to look at my father’s lonely figure. A trace of pity surged in my heart. “Dad, take care of yourself.”

It felt like the first time in years I had said something this sincere to him.

He looked up in surprise, as if he could not believe it. Even though he had experienced so many ups and downs in his years, at this moment, he couldn’t hold back his emotions anymore. Tears welled up in his eyes. Unsure how to deal with it, I quickly turned around and left in a hurry.

With mixed feelings, I went to my mother’s room. As soon as I entered, a cup was smashed on the ground by my feet.

“How dare you show your face here!” My mother sat upright in her chair, her face contorted with anger. “What’s the matter with you, Mother? Anger isn’t good for your health.” I walked over calmly, unfazed by her rage. novelbin

She snorted and turned her face away. “If you really cared about my health, you wouldn’t have announced your mate bond with Sylvia earlier.”

I shrugged helplessly. “Mother, just accept it. I’m not marrying anyone but Sylvia.”

“It’s easy for you to say that. Did you ever even think about the consequences? Even if Sylvia isn’t a sl*ve anymore, I still don’t accept her. She’s just the daughter of a small pack’s Beta. She doesn’t even have parents. She has no one to rely on and is powerless. She is not a good match for you at all.” My mother was very dissatisfied and pursed her lips tightly.

I chuckled. “I will take full responsibility for everything. Sylvia might’ve had no one to rely on before, but now she has me.”

Hearing this, my mother grew even angrier. She pressed her fingers against her temple and winced, muttering, “Even my own son’s against me. My life’s a mess!”

“Mother, you’re overreacting.” I didn’t know whether to burst into laughter or tears. “Look. I don’t know what you have against Sylvia, but maybe you just need to get to know each other more. Sylvia’s a good girl. Just give her a chance.”

My mother raised her head and looked at me wryly. “Can she help you with your career? Marriage won’t last on love alone. You need to complement each other and build a mutually beneficial relationship. Love won’t be a necessity as time goes by.”

“Mother, you’re wrong. A marriage without love is just a death sentence. I don’t need a powerful mate, for I am already capable enough to get whatever I want on my own,” I said, casting her a cold glance. “Without Sylvia, my life will be meaningless.”
