Chapter 593 Something Wrong With You
Rufus'' POV:
When I stirred in the morning, I automatically wanted to wrap my arms around the one beside me,
but they met empty air.
I opened my eyes groggily and saw that Sylvia wasn''t next to me.
"Sylvia?" I called out to her several times, but got no response.
Had Flora taken her away for some work?
I ran a hand through my messy hair and hauled myself out of bed. Then I casually picked up the
pajamas lying on the sofa and put them on.
When I walked out of the room, the clinking sound of tes and bowls reached my ears.
Sylvia was actually cooking breakfast.
I was surprised that she was up so early. Every time she had stayed the night before this, I was the
one who woke up first.

I walked to her and snaked my arms around her waist from behind. As the fragrance of her hair
tickled my nose, I couldn''t stop myself from turning her around and giving her a morning kiss.
Holding a spat in her hand, Sylvia giggled while kissing me. "If you keep this up, the food is going
to be burnt."
I reluctantly released her, taking a moment to tuck a loose strand of her hair behind her ear. "Go
ahead. I''m waiting for your food, chef." Sylvia looked at me withughing eyes and pouted. "Sit
down. Breakfast will be ready soon." I took a seat at the dining table with a grin and watched her
intently. My heart swelled with happiness and satisfaction. The desire to marry her as soon as
possible was so strong in me that it made my heart race.
As the thoughts of my future with her crowded my mind, everything around me looked rosy.
Sylvia ced a te of eggs and bacon in front of me and kissed the corner of my mouth. "What
are you thinking about?"
"Nothing." I caressed her hair. "Why did you get up so early today?"
"I woke up in the middle of the night. I couldn''t fall asleep again, so I decided to get out of bed
early." She took out the coffee beans to brew coffee, and then turned to look at me. "Do you have
any ns today?"
"I have a meetingter. I have to inspect the city in the afternoon. Too many murders have been
happening recently."
After giving a brief rundown of my schedule to her, my attention was instantly snagged by the crispy
bacon on the te. I ate a few bites in quick session before putting down my fork.
"What about you? What''s your n for the day? Would you like to grab lunch together?"
Sylvia propped her chin on her hand and shook her head. She didn''t touch the food in front of her.
She just watched me eating, a hint of sadness lurking behind her eyes.
"What''s wrong?" I touched her cheek to check her temperature, thinking she wasn''t feeling well.
She smiled and said, "Nothing. I can''t have lunch with you. Harry is in charge of the stray animals ''
rescue. He needs some help. I volunteered to assist him."
"Okay." I nodded in understanding. After the wall had been torn down, arge number of stray cats
and dogs had infiltrated the city. To solve this problem, several temporary animal relief stations had
been set up.
After breakfast, Sylvia and I spent some time making out before we went about our day.
On my way to the city hall, I still couldn''t get her off my mind. I couldn''t shake the feeling that
something was bothering her, as if she was hiding something. She didn''t eat anything in the
morning, and I had caught her looking distracted several times.
I decided to go to the animal relief station after the meeting to check in on Sylvia, but I bumped into
Harry and John on my way to the city hall building.
I walked up to them and greeted them. Then I took Harry aside and said, "Sylvia ising to your
rescue station today. Please keep an eye on her. I feel like something is troubling her today. Call me
if anything happens."
Then I took out my phone and exchanged phone numbers with him.
