Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince novel Chapter 131

Sylvia’s POV: 

"What did you say?" I stared at Rufus in a daze.

For a moment, I wondered if I had misheard him.

"I said I just want you by my side," Rufus repeated.

His voice was loud and clear.

His every word and syllable seemed to mess my mind.

"What… what do you mean? Don’t say such misleading things."

I lowered my head and didn’t dare to look at him again.I trailed my fingers across the gauze on my wrist, not knowing what to say.

He had bandaged my wound, leaving a cute bowknot on it.I couldn’t help but smile at how adorable it looked.

"Look at me, Sylvia."

Rufus hooked his finger under my chin and lifted my face, making me look at him.

"I like you." I could see the passion burning in his eyes.

My mouth popped open in shock.

His sudden confession startled me.

Countless fireworks seemed to explode in my mind.

"I know how terrified you’d be to hear this, but I still want to tell you what I honestly feel about you.I’m afraid that if I don’t openly admit my feelings, you might leave me for good."

Rufus sounded a little aggrieved; the eagerness in his eyes softened my heart.

"Well, then tell me," I said in a hoarse voice.

My heart was racing in my chest.

It felt as if my soul were floating in the air.I was flying in the clouds.

"I know what you are worried about.I don’t care about social status or other problems.Nothing can stop me from liking you.If you really care that much, know that I was destined to fall in love with you.I can’t escape from my fate and I don’t want to,"

Rufus said firmly, gently smoothing my brows with his fingers.

"But I’m just a slave."

A lump formed in my throat as I stifled my sobs.

"But don’t worry.You can continue to study in the military school.As for your mother’s case, now that I have promised you, I will continue investigating it — I won’t go back on my word.But don’t worry; that doesn’t mean we have to be associated with each other in any way."

"Rufus, please don’t…" My stomach began to churn.

The sudden change in his demeanor frightened me.

"Sylvia, we don’t have to see each other anymore if that’s what you want," Rufus said coldly.

"You have the right to make a choice.No matter what your decision is, I will accept it."

My breathing faltered; my heart clenched, and I couldn’t bring myself to utter a word.He was going to sever all ties with me, assuming that I didn’t like him.

Tears finally rolled down my cheeks.

"Sylvia, you like Rufus so much.Why don’t you admit the truth to him?" Yana tried to persuade me..

I lowered my head and cried silently.I couldn’t imagine living a life without Rufus.My life would have no meaning if he disappeared from it.

"Rufus." My voice was barely above a whisper.

Although Rufus didn’t respond, I knew he was listening to me.I gulped and finally summoned the courage to like him in the eye.

"I like you, Rufus.I like you very much.I have always wanted to be with you."
