Chapter 625 Different Perspective


    Rufus'' POV:


    As soon as I came out of the military department, I received a message from Sylvia that said that


    my mother had sent some maids to invite her to the banquet tonight.


    I was worried that my mother was going to make things difficult for Sylvia again, so I quickly got in


    the car and went back to the imperial pce.


    When I returned to my residence, I found a group of maids fussing over Sylvia''s outfit.


    Sylvia turned to look at me when I entered. Smiling, she stood up and gently waved away the


    maids. When the maids dispersed, she elegantly made her way towards me.


    The sapphire blue dress shone brightly against her fair skin. Her waist looked so slender that I felt I


    could hold it with my two hands. The pearl earrings and her red lips made the perfect match. I was


    awestruck by her beauty. I hadn''t seen her dress up like this for a long time.


    It had already been half a year since she first came to the capital city, but I still recalled the first time


    I took her to a party like it was just yesterday.


    "You can go ahead. Prince Rufus and I will be there soon," Sylvia said to the maids calmly.


    "Yes, Miss Todd." The maids nodded in unison and left respectfully.


    The second the door was closed behind them, Sylvia''s facade fell. She held my arm and gestured


    at her 3-inch heels proudly. "Look! I can walk in high heels now!"


    Amused, I touched her nose gently. "Don''t your feet hurt?"


    Sylvia shook her head and beamed at me. "No. I''ve been practicing in secret ever since I nearly


    made a fool out of myselfst time."


    After saying that, Sylvia winked at me and added, "I''ve also been practicing how to dance. I think


    I''ve gotten pretty good at it. I promise I won''t embarrass you."


    I wrapped my arms around her waist, lowered my head, and gave her a kiss.


    Sylvia groaned, worried that I might ruin her makeup.


    Ignoring herints, I sucked her lips a little longer before letting her go. Then, I buried my head


    in her neck and took a deep breath. "You smell so good."


    Sylvia tilted her head to the side curiously. "Really? I didn''t use any perfume. I just used the same


    body wash as you."

    I chuckled, parted my lips, and bit the tender flesh under her corbone, leaving a slight mark.


    Sylvia yelped and pushed me away in a hurry. "Not that spot! It''s too conspicuous!"


    "It doesn''t matter. It''ll disappear soon anyway." I pulled her back in my arms and nted a kiss on


    her forehead. "Thank you."


    Sylvia looked up at me shyly. "For what?" I couldn''t help but kiss her on the eyelids. I would never


    be tired of kissing her or caressing her skin.


    "I don''t know what my mother''s up to. If you don''t want to go, you can just refuse. I''ll decline for


    you," I said in a low voice.


    Sylvia shook her head. "Queen Laura is your mother. I have to face her sooner orter. Running


    away from her won''t solve anything. Besides, your mom''s not evil. She just loves you and wants the


    best for you. Rufus, I don''t want to see her as my enemy."


    Sylvia''s words moved me. I didn''t say anything and fell silent for a moment. In the end, I sighed.


    "Then pick a tie for me. Let''s go to the party together." "Okay," Sylvia replied with a smile. Then she


    stood on tiptoe and gave me another kiss.
