The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 66

Sylvia's POV:

"Why are you here?" I looked at him, my eyes burning with emotions. My heart was filled with joy that I safely hid from the rest of the world, including Rufus.

"What are you smiling for? You seem very happy." Rufus asked, arching his brows. He reached out his hand as if he wanted to touch my face but immediately stopped midway and looked at me as if nothing had happened.

For the first time, I realized how much I wanted to see Rufus. I touched my face and realized that my smile was even brighter now. However, a wave of bitterness washed over me in an instant. I seemed to be more interested in Rufus than I had imagined.

I stopped smiling and hurriedly changed the topic. "You haven't answered my question yet. Why did you want to meet me?"

"Should I have a reason to meet you?" Rufus seemed disgruntled. He pursed his lips and handed a delicate bag to me without saying a word.

I took it from him in a daze. "What's this?"

"Open it and see," Rufus said, lowering his head. He was dressed in formal attire today as if he had just come from a meeting

I felt a little awkward. I reflected on what I had just said and wondered if my tone was unfriendly.

"I... I didn't mean to be rude. You can come to see me whenever you want even if there is nothing serious to talk about. I just..." I couldn't clearly explain what I felt. After all, my mind was a mess.

"All right. I understand. Open it now," Rufus interrupted me and let out a helpless sigh.

I bit my lower lip and nodded. Then, I opened the bag and saw a thermos lunch box. My mouth watered as a delicious smell wafted in the air. Inside the box was a healthy, stomachnourishing soup. I looked up at him, feeling emotional. He had come all the way here just to bring me soup.

"Hurry up, or it will get cold. Based on the doctor's instructions, all nourishing ingredients are added to the soup. You should drink it every evening without fail," Rufus instructed. Then, he took off his suit jacket and wrapped it over my shoulders. "Didn't Maya pack coats and sweaters for you?"
