Chapter 66: Soothing Soup
Sylvia’s POV:
"Why are you here?" I looked at him, my eyes burning with emotions.
My heart was filled with joy that I safely hid from the rest of the world, including Rufus, "What are you
smiling for? You seem very happy."
Rufus asked, arching his brows.
He reached out his hand as if he wanted to touch my face but immediately stopped midway and looked
at me as if nothing had happened.
For the first time, I realized how much I wanted to see Rufus.
I touched my face and realized that my smile was even brighter now.
However, a wave of bitterness washed over me in an instant.I seemed to be more interested in Rufus
than I had imagined.I stopped smiling and hurriedly changed the topic.
"You haven’t answered my question yet.Why did you want to meet me?"
"Should I have a reason to meet you?"
Rufus seemed disgruntled.
He pursed his lips and handed a delicate bag to me without saying a word.I took it from him in a daze.
"What’s this?"
"Open it and see," Rufus said, lowering his head.
He was dressed in formal attire today as if he had juste from a meeting. I felt a little awkward.
I reflected on what I had just said and wondered if my tone was unfriendly.
"I… I didn’t mean to be rude.You cane to see me whenever you want even if there is nothing
serious to talk about.I just…"
I couldn’t clearly exin what I felt.
After all, my mind was a mess.
"All right.I understand.Open it now,"
Rufus interrupted me and let out a helpless sigh.
I bit my lower lip and nodded.
Then, I opened the bag and saw a thermos lunch box.
My mouth watered as a delicious smell wafted in the air.
Inside the box was a healthy, stomach -nourishing soup.I looked up at him, feeling emotional.

He hade all the way here just to bring me soup.
"Hurry up, or it will get cold.Based on the doctor’s instructions, all nourishing ingredients are added to
the soup.You should drink it every evening without fail," Rufus instructed.
Then, he took off his suit jacket and wrapped it over my shoulders.
"Didn’t Maya pack coats and sweaters for you?"
"Yes, she did.I came out in a hurry, so I forgot to wear one," I answered softly.
"That’s good.Drink it quickly.I want to see you finish this entire bowl of soup."
Although Rufus tried to sound bossy, I could see the concern and care in his eyes.
Just then, something seemed to shift within me — the seed that was deeply buried in my heart had
bloomed all of a sudden wapier I took a sip of the soup and moaned in appreciation.
It not only tasted delicious but seemed to soothe my stomach as well.
Food was indeed the best medicine in the world.
Unable to resist the temptation anymore, I greedily gulped down the entire bowl in one go.
When I looked up, I saw Rufus staring at me intently.
My face burned with embarrassment, so I looked away.
"You… you didn’t have toe all the way here just to bring me soup." Rufus chuckled.
It looked like he was in a good mood.
‘What a moody lycan!’ "Maya will bring you soup from tomorrow.I came to see you today because I
wanted to tell you something," he said.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief because I knew I would fall head-over-heels in love with him if he
came to see me every day.
"What’s going on? Are you happy? You don’t want to see me?" Rufus asked as he saw the change in
my reaction.
"No, no. I was worried it might end up being a burden for you." I smiled.
Then, I quickly cleared my throat and looked at him intently.
"What do you want to tell me?" Rufus didn’t answer right away.He leaned closer and stared at me.
I, too, looked at him.
His deep maic eyes seemed to suck me into a state of eternal bliss.My breath caught in my throat
as he reached out and touched the corner of my lips, and gently wiped the residue.The small, intimate
reaction made my skin prickle with goosebumps.Although Rufus didn’t react, I could see a warm smile
on his face.My body froze, and my mind went nk.I couldn’t think properly.There is a ball on Friday.I
want to invite you to be my date," Rufus whispered as he leaned loser to me.
