Sylvia's POV:
A frown formed on Rufus' face. He glanced at what I was holding and asked me curtly, "What is that?"
I covered the box in a rush so he wouldn't see it. "It's just my mother's belongings. I found it in her secret room."
"Open it. I want to see." Rufus grabbed my wrist, exuding a dominating aura.
"You don't believe me?" I was so upset that I almost lost my cool. This guy was tough to deal with whenever he was mad. He was like a high-tech detector-no lie and secret could get past him.
Although he didn't say a word, his silence was enough proof that he didn't believe
me.
"Open it, or I'll do it myself."
I held onto the box tightly and stared at him aggrievedly. "Answer my question first. Don't you believe me?"
I wanted to stall for time. Rufus had so many other things to deal with, so he certainly didn't have the time to argue with me. However, he lost his patience and reached out to grab the box. "Okay, okay! I'll show you!" I covered the box in a hurry to stop him from taking it away.
Rufus withdrew his hand and stared at me with a grim expression. "Open it." S-Dah the Find_Nøvel.let website on Gøøgll to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Pouting, I expressed, "Fine. What are you so fired up about?"
I opened the box and handed it to him. "Here."
A small black stone was lying inside. It looked so ordinary, just like any small stone one would find by a river.
Rufus reached out to take it, but I closed the box and protected it as if it was a treasure. "Don't touch it! I haven't forgiven you yet. I won't let you touch it unless you unlock the shackles!"
Rufus stared at me silently for a few seconds with a poker face. As my shoulders slumped, I started to wonder whether I should just give in and let him touch it, despite my nagging sense of guilt.
Just as I was about to say something, Rufus grabbed his jacket from the bed, turned around, and walked out. "I need to take care of some business. I'll come back early tonight to keep you company." "Wait, unlock the chains first!"
Rufus didn't take my words seriously.
"Then how about a kiss? It's been days since we last kissed. Don't you miss it?"
I deliberately seduced him in hopes of forcing him to get rid of the chains as soon as he got close to me.
But I didn't expect him to walk out on me calmly without looking back.
Well, I guessed this hateful man didn't love me anymore.
Infuriated, I feigned a stomachache. "Oh, shit! My belly! It hurts so much. My poor baby!
Mommy's heart hurts. Your Daddy is such a bad guy!"

I thought Rufus would come back to coax me, but to my surprise, he just maintained a straight face and instead said, "I'll call the doctor in to check on
you."
Then he left and closed the door.
I flung a pillow at the door in frustration.
Damn it! Was my acting skill so terrible? Was it so bad that Rufus could tell at a
glance that I was putting up an act?

"Of course, your acting is so
ridiculous and unconvincing." Yana sneered and spoke to me with m contempt. She had been this condescending recently. She ignored me most of the time, and when she
was in the mood to talk, she just sound real sarcastic. The content is on Popsnovel.com! Read the latest chapter there!
I felt even more aggrieved, so I slammed the bed and yelled out, "Rufus, you
jerk! I won't talk to you anymore! I mean it!"
