Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince
Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 742

Rufus’ POV:

Sylvia’s words left me at a loss. It made my heart ache. I knew my possessiveness would sometimes make her think I wasn’t giving her any sense of freedom, so I had been trying my best to restrain myself. I didn’t want to frighten her.

But even after all my efforts, it still didn’t work.

I slowly let go of her hand and looked down. “I’m sorry…”

Sylvia lowered her head as well and simply went silent.

My heart ached when I saw her like that. I kept silent for a while too until I decided to compromise.

“Let’s go. I’ll walk you back to your dormitory.”

I didn’t look back and simply went ahead. Although I wasn’t looking at her, the sound of her footsteps let me know that she was following me at a distance.

I felt terrible, but I didn’t want to take her back to the palace by force like I did before. I was afraid of the possibility that she would hate me more.

Both of us stayed silent until we arrived at the dormitory building.

“Have a good rest. If anything happens…” I paused for a moment. “Just call me.”

Just when I was about to turn around and leave, she grasped the edge of my shirt, causing me to stop in my tracks.

I took a deep breath and turned around. Sylvia looked down and slowly clenched her hand into a fist while she tugged on my shirt. It seemed as if she was afraid that I would leave her behind.

“I love you, Rufus,” She said, her voice a bit hoarse as she tried to hold back her tears. When she looked up at me, her cheeks were stained with tears. I could tell by the look in her eyes that she felt guilty. “I didn’t mean to say that and make you sad. I just…”

Just then, she began sobbing, causing her words to be almost incomprehensible. She probably couldn’t hold back her feelings any longer.

I took a step forward and raised her chin before leaning over for a k**s.

As our lips met, the misunderstandings and unspoken feelings instantly disappeared.

Sylvia reciprocated the passionate k**s by loosening her grip on my shirt and closing her eyes as she wrapped her arms around my neck.

After a while, I broke the k**s and gently wiped the tears off her face.

Sylvia steadied her breathing before she whispered, “It’s not what you think. I’ve been in a bad mood recently, and I just want to be alone.”

“I understand, baby,” I said as I kissed her forehead. It was normal for her to be like that. So many things had happened recently, and I would have trouble wrapping my head around what was going on too if I was in her shoes.

Sylvia leaned her head on my shoulder for a while before reluctantly backing away from me. “I’ll go upstairs first, then.”

I didn’t leave even after the light in her room was on. I stood there for quite some time as I smoked.

Even though Sylvia tried to clear up the misunderstanding, I couldn’t help but feel like she was still hiding something from me.

I pondered if I was too clingy to the point where I made her feel suffocated by my presence. If it was possible, I truly wanted her to be with me all the time.

“Sylvia’s probably mad,” Omar suddenly said.

“Mad? Why do you say that?” I was really confused.

Omar heaved a sigh. “You don’t get it, do you? Sylvia is pregnant and your parents are already discussing your marriage, but you haven’t even proposed yet! I think it’s only natural to assume that a she-wolf will get mad if her mate doesn’t care about their marriage.”

My eyes widened in realization. Omar was right. Sylvia was probably mad now.

I wanted to propose to her a long time ago, but it got delayed because of all the things that happened recently.

It was a good thing that Omar reminded me about it. I needed to prioritize the proposal as soon as possible.
