Sylvia's POV:
At the mention of my mother, I fumed. Edwin was clearly a worthless scumbag that abandoned his wife and daughter.
No matter how good of a she-wolf my mother was, he still had the heart to leave her. He also knew about my existence, yet he chose to pretend as if he was not aware.
He was a great actor, at least.
"Damn it! How could he do something like that?" I cursed and practically felt steam rushing out of my ears.
Rufus wrapped his arms around me and coaxed me like he would a child. "Hey, don't let it get the best of you. If you keep getting angry, you'll get wrinkles early."
I melted into his arms and huffed angrily, feeling hopeless. "What a useless piece of scum. He even refused to admit it this afternoon. He had us all fooled."
Rufus smoothed my hair and sighed. "He didn't really say much this afternoon, actually."
I stopped. It seemed that Rufus was right. Leonard was the one who kept on questioning Edwin.
Still, I was very depressed. "He didn't even want to look at me, as if I was such a dirty thing. He hates me." "What if Edwin's not actually your father? What if it's all just a big mistake?" Rufus gently pinched my pouting lips.
"Mm..." With my lips pinched together, I could only make a muffled sound.
"What was that?" Rufus let go of my lips and patiently waited for me to talk again.
I licked my dry lips. "Well, let's just talk about it later if you're right."
Rufus playfully flicked my forehead. "You are too high-strung."
"Well, how can I be calm in this situation? All my life, I've wondered who my father is and why he left. But now that I know who he could be..." I couldn't finish my sentence and rubbed my forehead.
"We will have to really confirm whether Edwin is your father or not." Rufus spoke in a soft tone. "Without confirmation, everything is just but a guess for now. It will be a shame if we curse the wrong werewolf, won't it?"
"Okay fine..." I grumbled. "But I won't ask directly. And if Edwin really is really my father, I'll disown him myself!"
I tugged his hair, not wanting to leave myself. But Flora already asked me to sneak some food in for her. I was going to refuse, but she pretended to cry. I had to give in.
"Sylvia, just stay." Rufus' look was pitiful as his eyelashes fluttered. He pressed his lips together. The grip around my waist tightened, as if he was a child unwilling to let go of his favorite toy.
I couldn't help but chuckle. Rufus truly knew me well.
I pretended to hesitate. "Let me think about it..." "Well, you can do whatever you want..." Rufus casted an awkward glance at me.
My fingers traveled up his chest. "Whatever I want?"
Before I could finish, two soft ears appeared before me.
"Do you want to touch them?" Rufus lowered his head near my hand. His wolf ears flicked in the air.
My heart skipped a beat.
