His silence frightened me. I hugged him desperately. “Please say something. Don’t ignore me. I know I made a mistake. Please forgive me.”
Rufus unclasped my hands that were hugging him and pulled back. I looked up at him in rapture, thinking he was going to say something.
But he just turned around and left.
I hurriedly ran after him and grabbed his hand. “Where are you going?”
He looked down at my hand and then my eyes, his face taut with anger.
I pouted and slowly loosened my grip. Unexpectedly, he grabbed my hand.
‘What’s going on?’ I looked up at Rufus; his face had darkened with rage.
He held my hand tightly and turned to the temporary residence for soldiers.
“Why don’t we go to your place?” I asked in a low voice.
Rufus didn’t answer my question. Instead, he led me to my residence.
It looked like he was at the peak of his rage. Otherwise, Rufus would never act like this.
“I guess going to your place will be a better idea. You carry on with your work. I’ll wait for you to come back.” I held his arm obediently.
However, Rufus was so angry that he didn’t utter a word regardless of how much I tried.
I followed him in despair, thinking about how to cheer him up.
Rufus had lost his temper with me for the first time. I was filled with regret.
If I had anticipated such a thing, I would have told him. But if I did, he would have protested and offered to accompany me.
I sighed as we walked to my place.
Rufus wanted to let go of me when we arrived, but I grasped his hand with all my strength. “Are you leaving?”
Rufus examined my face and finally said, “Go back and think about what you did. I have to go back to work.”
“Fine…” I pouted and slowly let go of his hand. I wanted to stick to him and didn’t want to leave his side. After all, he was still angry.
Rufus didn’t say anything.
I took a deep breath and kissed his cheek. “All right, go ahead. I will miss you.”
Rufus paused for a moment. It looked like he wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Finally, he left without saying a word.
Sylvia’s POV
Sorting out misunderstandings was crucial in every relationship.
I immediately texted Rufus with cute emojis and romantic phrases after returning to my dorm. But, at the same time, I didn’t want to disturb his work, so I sent all the messages during his usual dinner break.
I neatly arranged the dishes on the table in front of me and took a picture. “I’m eating.”
I waited for a few minutes, but there was no reply from him. I grunted and put my phone down in frustration.
Flora was sitting beside me. Unable to take it anymore, she pushed the plate of spaghetti toward me. “Let’s eat first. Only when you’re full will you have the strength to cheer up your angry boyfriend.”
I took a bite of the spaghetti but didn’t really have the appetite for it. “What do I do, Flora? How can I cheer up Rufus?”
“Well, it’s indeed your fault. If I were Rufus, I would have also been mad at you. Prince Rufus values your safety above anything else. But you’ve been constantly risking your life. It’s only fair that Prince Rufus is mad at you. His anger is justifiable,” Flora said as she took another bite of the noodles. “Verbal assurances won’t work anymore. If I were Prince Rufus, I wouldn’t believe your words either.”
“What do I do now?” My heart broke. It looked like I had hit the dead end.
“Of course, there is a way, and I guarantee it will definitely work.” Flora smiled and winked at me.
Seeing that, my scalp tingled. “Do you remember the gift I gave you on your birthday?”
“Yes… Yes, I do,” I stammered as my face burned with embarrassment. ‘Does she want me to…”
“Then use it! I went through a lot of trouble to get that sensual cat maid dress. I’m sure Prince Rufus will be obsessed with you if you wear it.”
“This is ridiculous!” My cheeks flamed with embarrassment.
Flora glanced at my chest and grinned evilly. “There’s no need to be embarrassed. After all, you two have made love before. And trust me, all male wolf likes the role-play!”
“But I didn’t bring it with me. I’ve been hiding it in the dormitory back in the capital.” When Flora gave that sensual outfit to me, I felt I would never get to use it in my life.
Flora laughed and patted my shoulder. “Don’t worry. I brought it for you.”
My eyes widened in shock. “What? You brought it? Where did you find it?”
“I went back to the dormitory to pack up my things and found it in a dusty corner when you weren’t around.” Flora clapped her hands excitedly as a triumphant smile emerged on her face. “I knew it would come in handy one day.”
“Thank you for being so considerate and bringing this with you when we are on a mission at the border!” I sighed and rubbed my forehead, not knowing whether I should be amused or annoyed for having such a “helping” friend.
Flora urged me to put on the dress. Knowing I couldn’t win an argument with her, I took the dress to Rufus’ room and put it on.
The costume came with a bell hanging on the collar, and it chimed every time I moved around. Flora said it was specially made to conceal my scent and surprise my mate.
I pursed my lips and was afraid it would end up shocking Rufus instead of surprising him.
Rufus was perhaps busy with work. I reasoned he wouldn’t come back soon, so I decided to lie on the bed and check my Facebook.
After aimlessly scrolling across the phone, I became bored and began thinking about how to deal with Rufus after he forgave me. I had to teach him a lesson.
As I thought about it, I became exhausted and drowsy.
