Chapter 758 n To Escape


    Sylvia''s POV:


    It was this cheeky devil again.


    When I opened my eyes, I immediately saw ir''s smirking face.


    I wordlessly sat up and raised my chin, indicating for him to close the door.


    ir clicked his tongue and went to close the door. Then he faced me again and joked, "Do you


    really have to do this? I know you pretended to pass out just to avoid the proposal. If you didn''t want


    to marry him, you should''ve just let him know."


    "It''s not that I''m unwilling to marry him, ir. You have no idea what''s going on here, so just shut


    up." I rolled my eyes in annoyance. Was I that bad at acting? I couldn''t believe he saw through me


    at a nce and figured out that I was pretending the whole time.


    ir raised an eyebrow as he crossed his arms over his chest. "What on earth do you want to do


    then? You love him, so why don''t you want to get married? Besides, you''re already pregnant."

    My head began to hurt, so I kneaded my temples and sighed. "It''splicated. Anyway, I just need


    to go back to my pack to get that book first." "But you''re pregnant and your baby''s condition is


    unstable. If you go back to your pack now, you''ll be putting both yourself and your baby in danger.


    Why don''t we postpone the n for now?" ir eximed. I could tell that he was hesitant about


    my rash decision.


    I sighed. "I heard the doctor say that my baby''s condition is unstable, but I know what I''m doing. I


    have to go, but I don''t think the original n will work now. Rufus won''t even let me leave the


    imperial pce."


    I originally wanted to lie about having to carry out the army mission and let ir take me away from


    the imperial pce. Now that I had pretended to faint, Rufus would probably think I was weak,


    which would cause him to not let me carry out any tasks.


    That was why I had to leave the imperial pce in secret.


    My head began pounding as I thought about having to sneak out. Everything seemed to be going


    out of control.


    "But I still need your help, ir. When you''re on a mission next time, I''ll pretend to be a soldier and


    sneak into your team."


    ir didn''t agree immediately. He just frowned at me and pondered for a moment. He was probably


    thinking about the practicality of the n.


    "Are you sure you can do this? You''re pregnant, you know?" He nced down at my belly.


    I touched my belly and smiled. "I can show you a backflip right now if you want me to prove my


    point."


    "No thanks." ir grimaced. At that point, he already knew he had no other choice but to agree.


    "When are you going to do this? I''ll tell Rufus about the mission one day earlier."


    I pondered for a while before saying, "Next Monday. Rufus is going to preside over the meeting for


    the first time on that day on his father''s behalf and will gradually take over his work. I think he''ll be


    too busy to keep an eye on me that day, so I can take advantage of the opportunity to escape."


    "Alright." ir nodded. "Rest well, okay?"


    I nodded in response before he turned around and left, not bothering to stay any longer.


    As soon as the door closed, Yana—who had been silent for quite some time—beganining.


    "Sylvia, I think you''ve gone too far. You should never lie to your mate. You''re hiding more than one


    thing from Rufus now!"


    "I know, but I have no choice, Yana. We have to find my mother''s inheritance book as soon as


    possible and refine the bug. I need as much time as possible before I can find a way to lift the curse


    on Rufus," I replied, feeling helpless and guilty. Sometimes, I truly wanted to tell Rufus everything


    on impulse, but the rational part of me told me otherwise. I knew him too well. If he were to be


    backed into a corner, he would choose to die rather than forget about me.


    He would probably give up on the throne if I were to tell him everything, and that would only shatter


    Ethan''s hope again. I didn''t want to see that happen.


    I still remembered how happy Ethan was when he found out that Noreen''s curse on Rufus had been


    removed. His joy knew no bounds.


    If something were to happen to Rufus again, he probably wouldn''t be able to withstand it.


    I was the root cause of the problem, so I should take all the responsibility to solve it. If I failed to do


    so, maybe it just meant that I didn''t deserve to be happy with my beloved.


    Yana simply heaved a sigh and gave up on persuading me. She went silent for a moment until she


    suddenly said, "Rufus'' scent is getting closer."


    Hearing her say that, I immediatelyy down and pretended to be asleep. But to my surprise, Rufus


    stayed at the door. He didn''t even take a single step inside.
