The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 435

Rufus' POV:

I opened the door and sure enough, Sylvia was standing outside.

She was holding a bottle of red wine and two glasses, looking at me with a smile.

I let her into the room. Although I was a little surprised, I was still happy to see her charming smile. "What brings you here, honey?"

Sylvia put the wine and the glasses down then turned around to hug me. With a smile on her beautiful face, she batted her eyelashes and said, "Nothing. I just missed you."

I leaned my forehead against hers and sighed. "I thought you'd get my hints."

Sylvia was stunned. She looked at me blankly and blinked in confusion, as if she had no idea what I was talking about.

Her reaction made me feel a little strange. "What’s wrong?"

Sylvia shook her head and stared at me with her big clear eyes. Pouting like a child, she asked, "But, Rufus, didn't you miss me?"

I smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Why are you so clingy today?"

"Maybe because I got nervous in such a strange place." Sylvia leaned her head on my shoulder and sighed sadly. "Rufus, are you mad at me because I came to you without your permission?" "No. Don't be silly." I chuckled. In that moment, I found myself wishing that Sylvia could rely on me more.

Sylvia raised her head and stuck out her lower lip. "Do you want a drink?"

Without waiting for my answer, she turned around and poured two glasses of wine on the table. "I stole them from the banquet. I wanted to have a little wine so that I could fall asleep faster." "We still have work to take care of tomorrow. So no more drinking tonight." I couldn't help but frown. Why was Sylvia acting unusually active tonight?

"We'll only have a little. It'll be fine." Sylvia raised her glass and took a sip. Then, she immediately wrinkled her nose. "It's a little bitter. Here, taste it."

"Do you think so? But at the banquet, I kept a watchful eye on her. I didn't see her drink any alcohol."

Sylvia couldn't hold her drink, so I had told her not to drink outside except when she was with me.

"Could she have drank with Flora and the others after the banquet?" Omar posited. "But she has Sylvia's scent. You must be overthinking. Who would be so bold as to pretend to be Sylvia to seduce you? That'd be a death sentence!" I lowered my head to look into Sylvia's eyes. She clung to my body and stared at me with lustful eyes.

The restlessness in my heart was getting more and more uncontrollable.

"I want it. Give it to me." Sylvia's red lips parted and she gently pushed me backward.

I didn't resist and fell on the bed behind me.
