Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince
Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 574

Rufus’ POV:

Hearing my announcement, Sylvia went silent. Her eyes fell to the ground and she dejectedly said, “I’ve already been preparing myself mentally.”

“Don’t be sad, Sylvia. You still have me. If Edwin has no interest in recognizing you as his daughter, he will regret it in the future.” I awkwardly patted her on her back, but she stepped away from me.

Her voice was chilly, and she refused to even look at me. “Even if you were worried that I’d be upset, you shouldn’t have tried to deceive me, let alone keep something so big from me.”

“Give me a chance to explain…”

Oh my God. This was the first time I had ever been so nervous.

I hadn’t experienced such apprehension and helplessness even when I had given a speech in front of thousands of citizens.

Sylvia turned her head, finally willing to look at me. There was a frosty look in her eyes. She didn’t say anything and quietly waited for my explanation.

“Because… because you said you didn’t want to recognize him last night…” It took me several moments to get the words out.

“Even so, you shouldn’t have lied to me!” Sylvia’s expression turned fierce instantly, making her look like an angry cub.

“I was wrong, babe.” I reached out to hug her again, but she angrily shoved my arms away.

She grasped the gem pendant around her neck, pulled it off, and flung it on the floor. “I don’t need that anymore.”

Then she spun around and left.

Looking at her resolute back, I tried to go after her, but she stopped me.

“Don’t follow me, or you will never sleep with me again.”

That made me stop in my tracks. I had no choice but to watch her leave.

My shoulders dropped. I was so depressed but I still automatically followed her to the room after pondering for a few seconds.

However, before I could reach the door, I heard Sylvia slam it and lock herself in.

I stood outside the door feeling lost, not knowing what to do. I was in the same situation as Warren, who had been sitting outside Flora’s room the other night. I finally understood what he had been going through.

It turned out that once your girlfriend was angry, it felt like the end of the world. Even if the Moon Goddess herself came, it would be useless.

“It’s your fault that you lied. Don’t behave like you’re the wronged one,” Omar said coolly.

“Then what should I do?”

I felt devoid of hope. When Sylvia ignored me, I felt like I couldn’t function normally anymore. My mind was muddled. The calmness I prided myself on was completely gone.

“You can try asking Warren for advice. He seems to have reconciled with Flora.”

It took Omar several minutes to come up with such a seemingly brilliant idea.

“Are you sure? You’d better not land me in bigger trouble.” I didn’t believe in Warren’s ability to handle his relationship. Judging from Flora’s attitude yesterday, it was obvious that she still hadn’t forgiven him.

“Well, Warren is indeed inexperienced in love. Forget it. You’d better leave Sylvia alone for now. You can apologize to her later when she has cooled down a little.” Omar clicked his tongue in disgust, like he was a veteran on the topic of love. “Why can’t you all persuade your mates? It’s pretty easy to convince them.”

“If you’re such an expert, go ahead and fix this.”

My cold rebuttal silenced Omar.

The room was completely silent. I went back to the living room and picked up the pendant Sylvia had tossed to the floor. Then I put it back in the box she had brought it in yesterday.

As I shut the box, there was a knock on the door.

I tried to tame my messy hair, put on my coat that had been lying on the sofa, and opened the door.

Leonard stood at the threshold. He greeted me cheerfully, holding a bag in his hand.
