Shawn's POV:
Sylvia's attitude was such a letdown. How could she change into a completely different person in a matter of months?
I softened my tone, trying to calm her down. "I know you still resent me. Could you at least give me a chance to make things up to you?"
Sylvia said nothing. Instead, she just looked at me as though I was a stranger, which only made me want to conquer her more.
"Look, Sylvia. I regret what I did, okay? I shouldn't have turned away from you at the time." I looked at her affectionately. "Have you forgotten the good old days? We were childhood playmates and everyone thought that we'd become a couple when we grew up. Sure enough, when we were old enough, the Moon Goddess designated us together."
As I spoke, I still reasoned that I was the one Sylvia deserved. Her toughness and power were exactly what I needed. Not to mention her beautiful face. That was a good bonus.
Sylvia's expression darkened. She opened her mouth to say something, but I quickly interrupted her.
"Just hear me out, Sylvia," I said hurriedly. "If it weren't for Mateo and all those misunderstandings, I would never have refused you. Can't you see? We're meant to be together. Prince Rufus won't be able to stand in our way!" "Enough, Shawn!" Sylvia closed her eyes and took a deep breath to stay calm. "That was a long time ago. Let the past die. As for the Moon Goddess's arrangement, I agree that it was fate at the time."
"It's fate for us to be together!" I hated it whenever Sylvia acted so lofty and indifferent. Trying to win her over, I couldn't help but blurt out the sweet words that bubbled up from my heart. "Sylvia, the truth is, I've liked you for years. But I thought that you were the daughter of the person who murdered my parents, so I hated you at the same time. But now that that's been cleared up, I know I was wrong. Let's start over."
Tingling with excitement, I couldn't help but reach out and place my hand on Sylvia's shoulder. Her eyes flashed dangerously and she immediately shoved me away.
Through gritted teeth, she said with disgust, "Shut up! Oh, God. I'm going to throw up!"
