Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince

Chapter 1260 He Wouldn’t Let Me Go This Time

(Crystal’s POV)

When Rufus heard my answer, his l*ips curled up in disdain and he got to his feet. Pulling me closer, he lifted my chin, and asked, “Why are you crying if you don’t love me? Your eyes are red.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

I sniffled and irritably slapped his h*and away. I didn’t want to talk to him.

Rufus persisted. He sat beside me and said, “I don’t believe that you don’t love me. You’re a liar. You always like to speak the opposite of what you really mean.”

“It’s your choice to believe it or not.” I turned around and wiped my tears, feeling embarrassed.

Rufus didn’t believe me. He shifted so that he was sitting facing me. “Why are you keeping me away from you? Why did you k*iss me just now if you don’t love me? I don’t believe you are so cruel. Crystal, admit it. You love me. You can’t escape from me.”

Rufus annoyed me so much that I yelled, “Stop it. You don’t know anything!”

When I noticed the stunned disbelief on his face, I regretted my words again.

I rubbed my eyes, lowered my head, and sobbed. “There are so many things I don’t know how to tell you. It’s best that you have no knowledge of them. Anyway, I don’t love you anymore.”

The atmosphere was heavy with tension for several minutes. After a long time, Rufus stirred. He slowly lifted my chin, gently dried my tears with his f*ingers, and tenderly said, “There are many things I don’t know? Well, are any of them related to the curse?”

I was taken aback. I hadn’t expected him to bring up the curse.

As Rufus intensely gazed at my face, he seemed to have figured something out. His l*ips curved up into a soft smile. “If I’m not wrong, the curse was the biggest reason you left me, right?”

My jaw fell open in surprise. “How did you…”

“Does this have anything to do with what is on my back?” Rufus interrupted me and asked.

This time, I was completely floored. “Can you see what’s on your back?”

“Was I unable to see it before?” Rufus asked with raised eyebrows.

I sat in silence, not knowing where to start. “So, I’m right. I wasn’t certain, but the way you examined my back just now confirmed my suspicion that it was related to curse,” Rufus nonchalantly said.

He was so sharp that he only needed a few clues to figure anything out.

It suddenly dawned on me that pretending so hard in front of him before was useless. In the end, he still discovered the truth.

I stared at him, my gut churning uneasily. I didn’t know what the meaning of Rufus being able to see the black thorn on his back now was. Would the curse affect him more fiercely than before?

Or maybe I was running out of time.

“What’s wrong, Crystal? You look terrified.” Rufus studied me worriedly. He tucked a loose strand of my hair behind my ear and half-jokingly said, “I’m going to die, right?”

I became so furious that I hastily covered his mouth. “Don’t spout nonsense! I will never let anything bad befall you.”

After saying that, I burst into tears. I couldn’t hold in the emotions I felt when I thought of him dying.

“You will live a peaceful life. I won’t let you die. I won’t…” I choked with sobs and couldn’t speak coherently. “We can survive this. I managed to save you five years ago. I can do it again this time. You can’t die…”

Rufus watched me with his dark eyes. His l*ips were tightly pressed into a thin line, as if he was controlling his emotions.

Before I could think about anything, he suddenly clasped my h*and, wrapped his arm around my shoulder, and k*issed me.
