Crystal's POV:
As soon as I entered the banquet hall, I began to look for the two children, but the place was too crowded. Some Alphas recognized me and even tried to strike a conversation with me.
I was too focused on the task at hand, so I ignored them. Soon, I finally found the two kids eating at the long buffet table.
I wove my way through the crowd and was spotted by the sharp-eyed Beryl. She immediately grabbed Arron's hand and hid under the table. They quickly ran into the crowd from the other side of the table. There were so many people here. I couldn't call out their names in public and attract unnecessary attention, so I had no choice but to grit my teeth and hurry to catch up with them.

The hall was teeming with people. The two little figures kept disappearing behind various gorgeous skirts. In the blink of an eye, they were nowhere to be seen.
I felt both helpless and anxious. At this time, someone patted my shoulder. It was Harry, and next to him was Joanna.
"Just now, Joanna said that she thought she saw you. I didn't believe it at first, but it turned out she was right!" Harry grinned brightly.
"You look anxious. Are you looking for someone?" Joanna was so observant that she realized what I was up to right away.
I nodded. "Arron and Beryl are here. I need to find them and take them back."
"Oh? I just saw them over there." Harry pointed at the two kids in the distance.
I hurried to catch up with them, only to see Arron trying to run away and bumping into someone's legs. I helped Arron up first, but worried that he'd be scolded, I raised my head to apologize to the person Arron bumped into and was stunned.
It was none other than Rufus. He was wearing a formal suit, which made him look especially handsome. As our eyes met, I could see my reflection in his dark pupils. Neither of us spoke for a long time. It seemed that neither of us wanted to ruin this strange but intimate moment.
In the end, Beryl was the one who broke the silence.
"Daddy, you so handsome today!" she greeted cheerfully.
Only then did Rufus break eye contact with me. With a smile on his face, Rufus
bent over and gently pinched Beryl's nose. "Did you have a good time?"
"Yes! I'm so happy. I ate a lot of cake!" Beryl patted her round belly in satisfaction.
I couldn't help but smile. I habitually reached out to tidy her messy hair, but I was accidentally hit by a passing trolley. I stumbled and lost my balance, but before I hit the ground, I fell into a familiar embrace. A pair of strong arms held my waist, and the familiar scent of the man I loved enveloped my whole body.
Stunned, my heart began to race.
"Can you stand up on your own?" Rufus asked coldly.

couldn't even look him in the eye. Fortunately, there was a mask on my face, which hid most of my redness. "Your name is Arron?" All of a sudden, Rufus shifted his attention to the boy beside Beryl. The content is on bignovels.com! Read the latest

I was so nervous. What if Arron call

Rufus nodded. "Why is he still

As he spoke, he squatted down and started to reach for Arron's bandages.
My heart leaped to my chest. I wanted to grab Arron, but suddenly, the lights went dimmed and the ball began.
