The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 768

Sylvia's POV:

I was stunned. My keen intuition told me that this wasn't a simple, silly question as it sounded. Soon, the corners of Rufus' mouth curved into a smile. He extended his hand to wipe away the bubbles off my face and said, "I was just kidding." I breathed a sigh of relief. I wasn't sure why, but I had a feeling that Rufus was being really serious just now. I had the impression that if I had continued nodding, I would be shackled and imprisoned in this palace, to be his own doll.

Rufus washed me clean and carried me to bed, treating me like a fragile piece of glass.

I felt even more uncomfortable. I grabbed his hand and wrapped myself in the duvet.

"Your clothes are wet, Rufus. You should take a shower too. I'll get dressed on my own."

Thankfully, Rufus refrained from insisting. He set my nightgown down and walked to the bathroom.

I threw away the duvet, put on the nightgown and dried my hair.

The buzzing sound of the blow dryer ruffled my thoughts. I said to Yana, "Don't you think Rufus is strange today?"

Yana groaned and hinted at me to continue. She had been in a bad mood recently and would always ignore me. And now that I was speaking to her, she just gave me a lazy, fumbling response.

I knew what she was upset about. When I was still contemplating how to coax Yana, the blow dryer was suddenly snatched from my hand.

Startled, I turned around to see Rufus, shrouded in mist with his damped hair dangling on his forehead. I quickly crept up on my tiptoes and rubbed a towel through his hair. "It has been only five minutes since you walked into the bathroom. You shower so quickly."

I was no longer in the mood to enjoy his tenderness. I only wanted to inquire about what was wrong with him. Although he looked fine on the surface, judging from his behavior and words, I could tell that something was weighing on his mind.

I turned around as soon as my hair was dry. When I took his hands and was about to ask him something...

Rufus asked first, "Sylvia, where is your ring?"

What? I blinked my eyes and saw Rufus staring down at my hand with a gloomy face.

I was flustered. My ring finger, which was supposed to have the ring, had nothing on it!
