Chapter 725 What Is She Hiding


    Rufus'' POV:


    Using the flowers in my hand, I managed to sessfully lure Sylvia to an open space.


    Fortunately, no guards were nearby and we made no noise.


    When Sylvia attacked me again, I locked her in my arms to prevent her from running away.


    Then I repeatedly called out her name like I had done thest time.


    After a while, she finally snapped back to her senses.


    She looked at me with puzzlement. After a long pause, she asked, "Did I lose control just now?"


    "Did you feel different?" I asked nervously.


    She nodded with a bewildered expression. "Yes, I did. Has this happened to me before? Because


    this feeling of losing control is quite familiar to me this time."


    After hesitating for a while, I disclosed to Sylvia how she had almost killed Richard in the forbidden


    forest when she had lost control before.


    Noreen had been frequently appearing by Sylvia''s side, which made me increasingly suspicious and


    worried.


    I was afraid that Sylvia really had some connection the ck witch race.


    I couldn''t keep this issue buried anymore, so I had to bring it up with her.


    Sylvia''s face fell and she looked down. "Why didn''t you tell me this earlier?"


    "I thought it was just a coincidence. And I didn''t want to worry you before I had got some rity on


    this matter," I exined.


    Sylvia met my eyes and freed herself from my arms. She looked very distressed. Her silence was


    making me panic.


    I wanted to exin my actions further, but she spoke first.


    "Have you suspected for long that I have a rtionship with Noreen?"


    Her dismal tone made me pause for a second before I finally nodded.


    She didn''t say anything else. She looked down again. Her thick eyshes cast a shadow under her


    eyes, shielding her emotions from me. She fidgeted with the buttons on her dress and seemed


    reluctant to talk to me.


    I felt a twinge of uneasiness, as if I had done something wrong. I grasped her hand, wanting her to


    give me some response.


    "Sylvia, I don''t care who you are. All I know is that you''re my mate. And that will never change. I just


    wanted to uncover the truth before I told you everything." After saying that, I stared at the hair on


    top of her head, feeling a little sad. "Sylvia, say something."


    She raised her head and gave me a fleeting look. Then she held my hand back and said, "I don''t


    know what to say."


    I knew she was still mad at me for hiding all of this from her. I knew I was in the wrong, so I kept my


    mouth shut. After a long pause, I said, "I am really sorry. I won''t do it again."


    Unexpectedly, Sylvia burst intoughter and her face lit up. She raised her chin and innocently said,


    "I''m not angry with you."


    "But you didn''t say anything..." I felt a little wronged. Sylvia tricked me on purpose.


    She gave me another cheeky smile. Falling into my arms, she stared at the night sky silently.


    Holding her snugly, I thought for a while and asked, "Why has Noreen been bothering you so much?


    Did she tell you anything?"


    "I don''t know. Maybe she''s bored," Sylvia replied offhandedly.


    "Then..."


    I wanted to ask more questions, but she interrupted me.

    "I''m exhausted, Rufus. Let''s go back and get some rest. Dawn is almost here. Let''s catch a few


    hours'' sleep beforeing back for Leonard''s funeral."


    Sylvia acted like a spoiled child. She looked the same, but I felt like something was off about her. I


    could sense that she was hiding something from me.


    "Rufus, let''s go back," she urged again and left by herself.


    Still a little worried, I stared at her receding figure and hurried to follow her.
