The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1259

Crystal's POV:

I was startled. Hadn't Rufus fallen asleep? Why was he suddenly awake?

"How... How did you..." I stammered, flustered. I didn't know what he had just heard. Did my kiss wake him up?

But that didn't sound right. I had cast the spell to send him into a deep sleep. How could he have woken up?

"What do you want to say? Why did I wake up? Or why was your witchcraft ineffective?" Rufus got to his feet and observed me calmly.

I was stunned. I didn't expect that he would have knowledge of my witchcraft.

He chuckled knowingly. "I knew you possess this ability, so I asked a wizard for help. No matter what spell you cast on me this time, it won't work."

Since he was being so straightforward, I didn't want to keep pretending either. I directly asked, "When did you figure out that I have recovered?"

"I'm not sure." Rufus raised his eyebrows and smiled. "But your body language can't lie. After we had sex, something was amiss when you woke up again. Although you pretended to not know me, every time I touched you, you would unintentionally become nervous, as if you were afraid of your secret getting out. And when you looked at me, you could never meet my eyes."

I was rendered speechless. Even though Rufus had no memory of our past, he was still the person who knew me inside and out.

I believed he had seen through all my little secrets. Rufus walked to me, crouched beside my legs, and gave me a serious look. "So, should I call you Crystal or Sylvia?"

I turned my head away from him and awkwardly replied, "Since you already know everything, why are you still asking me?"

So he had been pretending just now. He just silently watched me put on an act. I didn't know when he had heard about the name Sylvia.

"No, I want you to tell me." Rufus wasn't going to let me off. He wanted me to give him an answer.

I couldn't escape, so I had to reluctantly admit the truth. "My name is Sylvia, and Crystal is the name I took later."
