Chapter 742 Unfathomable
Rufus'' POV:
Sylvia''s words left me at a loss. It made my heart ache. I knew my possessiveness would
sometimes make her think I wasn''t giving her any sense of freedom, so I had been trying my best to
restrain myself. I didn''t want to frighten her.
But even after all my efforts, it still didn''t work.
I slowly let go of her hand and looked down. "I''m sorry..."
Sylvia lowered her head as well and simply went silent.
My heart ached when I saw her like that. I kept silent for a while too until I decided topromise.
"Let''s go. I''ll walk you back to your dormitory."
I didn''t look back and simply went ahead. Although I wasn''t looking at her, the sound of her
footsteps let me know that she was following me at a distance.
I felt terrible, but I didn''t want to take her back to the pce by force like I did before. I was afraid of
the possibility that she would hate me more.
Both of us stayed silent until we arrived at the dormitory building.
"Have a good rest. If anything happens..." I paused for a moment. "Just call me."
Just when I was about to turn around and leave, she grasped the edge of my shirt, causing me to
stop in my tracks.
I took a deep breath and turned around. Sylvia looked down and slowly clenched her hand into a fist
while she tugged on my shirt. It seemed as if she was afraid that I would leave her behind.
"I love you, Rufus," She said, her voice a bit hoarse as she tried to hold back her tears. When she
looked up at me, her cheeks were stained with tears. I could tell by the look in her eyes that she felt
guilty. "I didn''t mean to say that and make you sad. I just..."
Just then, she began sobbing, causing her words to be almost iprehensible. She probably
couldn''t hold back her feelings any longer.
I took a step forward and raised her chin before leaning over for a kiss.
As our lips met, the misunderstandings and unspoken feelings instantly disappeared.
Sylvia reciprocated the passionate kiss by loosening her grip on my shirt and closing her eyes as
she wrapped her arms around my neck.
After a while, I broke the kiss and gently wiped the tears off her face.
Sylvia steadied her breathing before she whispered, "It''s not what you think. I''ve been in a bad
mood recently, and I just want to be alone." "I understand, baby," I said as I kissed her forehead. It
was normal for her to be like that. So many things had happened recently, and I would have trouble
wrapping my head around what was going on too if I was in her shoes.
Sylvia leaned her head on my shoulder for a while before reluctantly backing away from me.
"I''ll go upstairs first, then." "Go ahead." I stroked her hair gently and watched her go inside the
dormitory.
I didn''t leave even after the light in her room was on. I stood there for quite some time as I smoked.

Even though Sylvia tried to clear up the misunderstanding, I couldn''t help but feel like she was still
hiding something from me.
I pondered if I was too clingy to the point where I made her feel suffocated by my presence. If it was
possible, I truly wanted her to be with me all the time.
"Sylvia''s probably mad," Omar suddenly said.
"Mad? Why do you say that?" I was really confused.
Omar heaved a sigh. "You don''t get it, do you? Sylvia is pregnant and your parents are already
discussing your marriage, but you haven''t even proposed yet! I think it''s only natural to assume that
a she-wolf will get mad if her mate doesn''t care about their marriage."
My eyes widened in realization. Omar was right. Sylvia was probably mad now.
I wanted to propose to her a long time ago, but it got dyed because of all the things that
happened recently.
It was a good thing that Omar reminded me about it. I needed to prioritize the proposal as soon as
possible.
