Chapter 189: Something Wrong With Her Heart

Sylvia's POV:

"Why does it look… reluctant to leave us?" I looked at Rufus with curious eyes.

Rufus raised an eyebrow and replied bluntly, "It's reluctant to leave you.Not us."

Touched by this, I let go of Rufus' hand to run back to the gray wolf.

"Be good, okay? I'll come by to see you the next time I get the chance."

The gray wolf tugged on my sleeve and refused to let go.

Rufus was getting impatient.He walked over to me and pulled me up.

"Let's go.I need to talk to you about something."

"What? What is it you need to tell me?"

As Rufus pulled me away, I could not take my eyes away from the gray wolf that was left in the cave.

"Rest up, Grey.Wait for me to come back!"

I was having some form of separation anxiety.

This seemed to make Rufus' face gloomier, so I whipped my head back to him and asked, "So, what
were you going to tell me?"

Rufus snorted, letting go of my hand and walking forward alone.

"What's wrong?"

I was so confused.I didn't understand why he was acting this way all of a sudden.



Rufus didn't reply.

Instead, he pulled a long face and refused to talk.

But even though he wasn't talking, he still walked slowly, as if afraid that I wouldn't be able to catch up
with him.

I pursed my lips, smiling to myself.

After trotting a few steps, I jumped onto his back and wrapped my arms around his neck from behind.

"Hey, what's wrong? You're not that cute when you're angry, you know."

I gave him a quick peck on the ear.

"Come on, just tell me already."

Instantly, Rufus' ears turned a bright red.His hands reached back and grabbed my buttocks, keeping a
slow and steady walking pace.He replied awkwardly, "You… cared too much about it."

It took me a while before I figured out what Rufus meant.

When I realized it, I didn't know whether to cry or laugh.I craned my neck to see the side of his face.

"Really? Grey? She's a female wolf!"

"No… I'm not jealous of her."

Rufus refused to admit it out loud, speeding up his steps.

"Yes, you are." I mockingly poked his cheek.



Rufus stumbled a little with a nervous look on his face, but it was only momentarily.He quickly regained
his usual coldness.

I sighed.

What was I going to do if my mate was too jealous? Of course, I tried my best to comfort and coax him
on the way back.

It wasn't until we finally arrived back that Rufus talked to me.

Maya offered us water and I took a few gulps.

I didn't realize how thirsty I had gotten.

"Slow down.You're drinking too fast."

Rufus reached up and wiped my mouth.

I nodded and brought the glass up to his lips.

"Drink up.You must be thirsty too."

Rufus took a sip but didn't take the glass in his hand.He just drank as I held it up.

Maya came over this time with a tray full of breakfast.

The aroma of the food immediately caused my stomach to grumble loudly.

I looked at Rufus with embarrassment.This was a familiar scene.

Rufus smiled affectionately and handed me a knife and fork.

"You'll need to eat quickly.You have class soon."



I began to eat, but acted reserved.

After taking a few sips from his coffee, Rufus reached over to pick food up for me.

He cut me some steak and fed it to me.

The taste of the steak made me sigh.

"Well, I can say for sure the imperial palace has the best chefs.The canteen food at school can't even
come close to this!"

Rufus' eyes twinkled as he peeled a boiled egg for me.

"Of course.But I think the person who cut it for you was also a big reason why."

I blinked for a few seconds before smiling wide.

"Eat up."

Rufus playfully flicked my forehead.

"Be careful.Don't be late to class today.Otherwise, Blair's going to punish you."

"I won't be late.I just want to talk to you for a little longer."

I gulped down the food in my mouth and chattered away.

It was like I never ran out of things to talk to Rufus about.

Once the big meal was over, it was now time for me to leave.

Rufus and I embraced, but I insisted on staying in his arms a little longer before reluctantly letting go.



Rufus planted another soft kiss on my lips and pressed our foreheads together.

"You can't stay anymore.You're going to be really late." I groaned.

The more he urged me to leave, the more I didn't want to go.I kissed his lips again and again.

"I'm leaving now.Do I really have to?"

I whined, walking out of the palace step by step and looking back repeatedly.

"If you keep complaining like that, then maybe I'll never let you leave at all."

Rufus' voice was low and hoarse, his eyes full of dangerous lust.I felt my knees buckle a little bit.

"Okay, I'm leaving right now."

Before I took a second step, I suddenly felt an intense piercing pain in my heart.It was like I was being
torn apart.
