The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 356

Rufus' POV:

As Sylvia and I walked along the school path, my mood gradually improved. But I still couldn't get rid of the heavy feeling lingering in my heart.

All of a sudden, Sylvia stopped abruptly in her tracks. I turned to look at her questioningly.

She seemed to want to say something, but decided not to on second thought.

Her expression looked so conflicted, I almost wondered if she had a stomachache.

But when I reached out to touch her face, her body temperature was normal. When I was about to ask her what was wrong, Sylvia suddenly pressed my hand against her lips and kissed it. "Rufus, you are the best. I love you so much."

I raised my eyebrows in pleasant surprise. Before I could respond, she threw her arms around me. "You're precious to me, Rufus. I never want to leave your side, not even for a second."

The series of sweet talk made my heart feel something inexplicable.

Sure enough, Sylvia kept coaxing me with all kinds of compliments and sweet talk, even throwing in a kiss from time to time. Gradually, my heart softened.

I had a rough idea about what was on Sylvia's mind and why she was doing this, so I quietly enjoyed her flattery.

"Rufus, lighten up, will you?" Sylvia stood on tiptoe and kissed me on the lips again. Her wide eyes looked so innocent yet aggrieved. "Say something—anything! I promise I'll never see Shawn again. He's such an idiot!"

At the mention of Shawn, Sylvia wrinkled her nose with disgust.

I finally burst into laughter. Ruffling her hair, I said gently, "I'm not angry. Shawn doesn't stand a chance. Any sane person would know he's nothing compared to me."

"Huh? You're so annoying!" Sylvia's eyes went wide with indignation. "You're evil, Rufus! This whole time, you weren't angry but quietly made a fool of me! You almost made me cry just now!" "What're you talking about? My brave Sylvia wouldn't cry so easily. She'll resort to violence first." I couldn't help but poke fun at her, flicking her smooth forehead with my finger lightly.

Aggrieved, Sylvia stuck out her lower lip like a hurt child. "I'd have made sure you couldn't get out of bed ever again."
