Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 572

Sylvia’s POV:

We didn’t stop making love until past midnight. Then we took a shower before going to bed.

When we were under the covers, Rufus hugged and kept kissing me, as though he’d never get tired of tasting me.

All of a sudden, he blew into my ear playfully.

I burst into laughter and tried to push him away. “Stop! It tickles.”

His hot breath brushed against my ears. I felt the tip of his teeth gently nibble my earlobe. “We don’t have anything important to do tomorrow, so we can sleep late.”

“Fine.” Nestled in his arms, I nodded obediently.

Finally, Rufus let go of my ear and pulled the quilt to cover the both of us.

In doing so, his fingers brushed against the gem pendant around my neck. Confused, he frowned and asked, “Where did you get this?”

Only then did I recall even having it. “I found it in Noreen’s lab. Flora gave Warren a lot of luck stones, remember? I took one for myself.”

Then I explained to him how the gemstone worked. When I recounted how enthusiastic Flora was about this stone in particular, I couldn’t help but chuckle. “It seems Flora’s searching for my father even more actively than me. I’ll look for a chance to tell her that I’ve already found him after we finish our work here.”

Although it wasn’t certain that Edwin was my father, I was pretty sure about it.

After all, he was the only man who could remember my mother. And his reaction when he saw me for the first time was very strange. It was difficult for me not to draw my own conclusions.

Rufus stroked my waist silently, as though he was deep in thought.

Speaking of Edwin, I suddenly recalled the paternity test.

I pulled the quilt down and looked at Rufus curiously. “Before we left the imperial capital, we took Edwin’s b***d for paternity test. Shouldn’t the result have come out by now? It’s been so long.”

An unnatural look flashed across Rufus’ eyes. Burying his face in my neck, his voice was muffled but I heard his words clearly. “It hasn’t come out yet.”

“What? How long do I have to wait? What’s taking so long?” I was a little surprised. Whenever Rufus took charge of something, it generally got done very quickly.

“It was delayed because of some issues. The samples weren’t sent to the testing center until a few days ago,” Rufus said in a low, gruff voice.

“Oh, okay. No rush…”

I sighed with relief.

Truth be told, while I couldn’t wait to find out, I was scared to know the result.

“So what do you want the result to be?” Rufus suddenly asked.

I hesitated.

If Edwin was really my father…

Then it would be hard to imagine how things would play out.

Edwin probably didn’t want the truth to be exposed.

Recalling the first time we had met, it seemed that he didn’t want to admit that I was his daughter.

Doing so would only disrupt his peaceful life.

So, now I thought that it’d be better if Edwin wasn’t my biological father.

“I don’t want it to be him,” I said softly.

No matter the result, I didn’t want to recognize Edwin as my father.

That way, there’d be no pressure on either of us. Plus, I wouldn’t be too disappointed.

I had imagined countless possibilities whenever I fantasized finding my father, but Edwin’s response to my existence was something I didn’t expect.

I thought that no matter how cold someone was, they would more or less soften when they met someone who was related to them by b***d.

But Edwin had been too cold to me. He avoided recognizing me, which was far from my expectations.

Thus, if he truly was my father, I’d prefer him to not know about it. And I would rather not recognize him as my father.
