Submitting to My Lycan Prince Mate

85 Two Forces

Claire's POV

"Almost forgot."

I rolled over, looking up at Louis's bare chest, meeting his blue eyes.

"Have you found your mother? What's the situation with the Black Pearl?"

"Still searching. No word from my mother yet."

Louis's expression was heavy, weighing on my heart.

"Though I insisted publicly that this was a rescue mission, ten minutes after arriving at the command center, I knew, facing such fierce waves, no one could have survived."

There was melancholy and sadness in Louis's eyes, making me want to comfort him. Having experienced the pain of losing a mother myself, I knew words were powerless at times like this.Finally, I opened my arms and gave Louis a hug.

"I'm sorry, Louis. But I promise you, I'll stand by your side."

"I know, you just said that, didn't you?"

Louis brought up what had just happened, trying to lighten the slightly heavy atmosphere.

But this time, I didn't show my usual shyness, as I could already sense the pain and sadness this man was going through.

"Yeah."

I looked at Louis, nodding solemnly again. "You have my words."

Louis looked at me, surprised by my reaction. After a moment, he shrugged casually, changing the subject.

"But who knows? Maybe there's still a miracle out there. Well, let's talk about something else. Tell me, Claire, what do you think of Chris?"

"Chris?" I repeated Louis's words, hesitating for a moment before recalling who he was referring to. "You mean, the little prince?"

"That's right, the little prince, Liam's son."

When Louis mentioned Liam's name, sadness flashed across his face again.

"What do you think of him?"

"I don't know, Louis."

Recalling the few times I'd met Chris, I hesitated. "I haven't interacted with him much, and besides, he's just a kid..."

Louis quickly noticed my hesitation and placed his hand on my shoulder, comforting me."Tell me what you really think, Claire. It's important to me."

"Well... I think Chris seems a bit..."

I paused for a moment, recalling today's events. But ultimately, I decided to swallow words like "malicious" and "volatile." "Well, his personality is unpredictable. But... Chris is still a kid. Maybe he'll be different as he grows up."
