Chapter 160: The Real Rufus

Sylvia's POV:

All the rumors seemed ridiculous now.

Some even said that Rufus would eat werewolves on every full moon night.

It seemed like people came up with their own version of rumors to make everyone believe that Rufus
was a ferocious beast.

In the past, I had almost believed those rumors and stayed away from Rufus.

Fortunately, Moon Goddess had brought us together.I turned around and looked at Rufus.

He was driving with a serious look on his face.

The faint light seemed to soften his features.

Rufus looked like a dangerous man when he didn't speak.

His sharp gaze would frighten anyone.

Although he looked handsome, his sharp features would stop people from approaching him.

However, only I knew about his tender heart that lay beneath his tough exterior.I had never seen him
get angry or lose his temper.I had tested his patience several times.

But if at all he got angry, he would remain silent and not utter a word, looking like an angry cat.I
pictured the way Rufus looked when he got aggrieved and burst out laughing.

Rufus looked at me quizzically as if I had lost my mind.



"What happened? Why are you laughing all of a sudden?" I glanced at his silky hair and resisted the
urge to run my fingers through them.

I covered my mouth and leaned toward him.

"Do you know what others say about you?"

Rufus snorted nonchalantly, "I don't know.I'm not interested in knowing it either."

"Don't be such a joykill.Tell me that you want to know." I nudged his arm playfully.

"I can't wait to tell you all about it." Rufus looked at me and shook his head.

"Go ahead then."

"Beg me," I said, raising my chin proudly.

Rufus scratched my chin.

"I beg you not to tell me."

"All right.I won't tell you."

I gently patted the back of his hand and leaned back on my seat.

"The others all misunderstand you.Why don't you explain yourself? You're not such a ruthless lycan like
they said.I wish people could see you for who you really are."

"There is no need to explain," Rufus said disapprovingly.

I snorted.

"Weren't you trying to explain yourself to me? Don't try to deny it.I heard it with both ears."



Rufus coughed awkwardly.

I rested my chin on my palm and looked at him.I couldn't get enough of him.

The man always stole my breath.

How could someone be this handsome and yet have a heart of gold.He was perfection.His luscious
lips, magnetic eyes, silky hair drove me crazy.

I loved him with all my heart.

An awkward silence fell.

Finally, Rufus cast a sidelong glance at me and said, "Stop looking at me."

"I'm not looking at you.I'm waiting for your answer.Why did you explain yourself to me?"

I lied, trying to take my eyes off him but couldn't.

"Because..." Rufus's Adam's apple bobbed.

"You are not others." His answer made my heart stutter.

I blushed and looked away.

"Of...of course, I'm not others."

"Hmm..."

"Let's stop talking.Focus on driving."

"Okay."



I squirmed on the passenger seat as waves of emotions consumed me.I couldn't remain calm, yet I had
to.I stared out of the window in silence.

Today's incident proved how much Rufus loved and cared for me.

The way he protected me made me feel special and lucky.

I often felt like I was living in a dream, and everything would change once I woke up because it was too
good to be true.

Today, I realized I finally found the missing piece of my life.

Rufus was real, and he loved me as much as I loved him.

However, my heart sank when I saw the palace from afar.

It indicated that our trip was about to end.I wanted to travel with Rufus all my life.I couldn't be away
from him even for a second.

The love in my heart was like the rising tide crashing in my heart.

Unable to control my emotions, I leaned over and planted a soft kiss on Rufus's ear.

However, he jerked up in shock.

His hand slipped from the steering wheel as he lost control of himself.Before I could react, the car sped
toward the gate of the imperial palace.
