Chapter 355 Public Display of Affection
Sylvia’s POV:
When Rufus came to my rescue, I couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. I didn’t expect Shawn would act so shamelessly, so I was startled and didn’t get rid of him soon enough.
I rubbed the wrist he had gripped just now, wondering how I’d explain everything to Rufus. He was probably burning with jealousy now.
Shawn was like a deer caught in headlights, too scared to utter a word. Rufus glared at him murderously and didn’t need to say a thing for Shawn to get the message. He staggered off and ran away as fast as he could, like a puppy with its tail between its legs.
When that insufferable Shawn was finally gone, I hurried to hold Rufus’s hand. “Thanks for saving me, Rufus. Shawn is so annoying. I shouldn’t have even met with him.” novelbin
Rufus glanced at me coldly but didn’t say anything. Instead, holding my hand, he walked forward, dragging me behind him.
I hurried to keep up with him and looked up at him embarrassedly. “So, when did you arrive?”
Rufus cast me a sidelong glance and smiled wryly. “How come I never knew that you had a childhood playmate who later became your destined mate? It turns out even the Moon Goddess was moved by your love.”
Oh, sh*t! He had heard everything! And it was all that bastard’s fault!
“Well, that’s… not true,” I stammered nervously, quickly lowering my gaze. “Shawn didn’t know what he was talking about. We just grew up together. Nothing more.”
“What?” My eyes went wide as saucers and my heart leapt to my throat. Why did I say that? I was just begging for a misunderstanding!
I hurriedly held his arm and gave him a big smile. “Oh, you see, when we were kids, Shawn was the only other child my age, so he was my only playmate. But our friendship only lasted a couple of years. When my mother d*ied, we became enemies. ‘Childhood sweethearts’? Bullsh*t!”
By the time I was done explaining, I was out of breath. But I quickly added, “And when I found out that Shawn was my mate, I didn’t hesitate to refuse him! You’re the only man I’ve ever loved, Rufus, and the only man I’ll ever love.”
When I was met with silence, I was the one who felt stiffed. Frowning sadly, I asked softly, “Do you think I’m lying?”
Rufus didn’t say anything but stared at me for a while. I couldn’t help but feel nervous and wondered if I had said something wrong.
Unexpectedly, Rufus suddenly leaned forward and tried to kiss me.
My eyes darted around subconsciously, wondering if anyone was watching. But Rufus pulled me into his arms without hesitation. Then, he pressed his lips against mine. His hands slipped around my waist and he held me as close as he possibly could. His kiss was passionate and almost anxious, his tongue dancing with mine.
I couldn’t even breathe. I had to tug at Rufus’s sleeve before he finally let go of me. Although the kiss was brief, all my doubts were banished from my mind instantly.
“We’ve already made our mate bond public, Sylvia. Why should we hide?” Rufus gave me another peck, smoothed my hair, and continued to walk forward.
“No, I wasn’t…” I murmured.
The glances from the passers-by around me made me feel shy and anxious, but happiness seemed to overpower all my other feelings.
Finally! I could tell the whole world that Rufus was my mate!
I looked at the man next to me happily and couldn’t help but feel hopeful for the future. Life was so beautiful after all. As we walked past the playground, we hugged and kissed like a normal couple. Whenever we touched, I’d get excited.
But after a while, I realized that there was something off about Rufus. Although he was still clingy with me…
I could tell he was a little absent-minded. Rufus, who had always been cautious and self-aware, rarely let his guard down like this.
I looked up at his glazed over eyes and felt somewhat upset. Was he still angry about Shawn?
The more I thought about it, the more convinced I was that I was right. Damn it! Shawn was such a jinx!
