Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 763
Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince
Rufusâ POV:
I ordered my private soldiers to secretly investigate what Sylvia had done after she left the palace today.
In less than an hour, one of my subordinates came back to report the result of the investigation.
âMiss Todd went to the black market to see Murray during the day. We donât know exactly what they had talked about because when we went there, Murray wasnât in the cottage. However, our people have taken photos of Miss Todd in the black market,â my subordinate said before handing me a sealed envelope.
I took the envelope and put it on the table. Then, I ordered my subordinate to leave.
I stood up and poured myself a glass of whiskey. I didnât open the sealed envelope immediately and just looked at it for some time.
While I was lost in thought, I heard someone knock on the door before saying, âPrince Rufus, itâs me, Maya. Iâm here to bring you something to eat.â
âCome in.â I tiredly rubbed the bridge of my nose. My mind was a mess.
When Maya went inside, she carefully put a tray on the table. There was a bowl of soup and a few side dishes on the tray.
âPrince Rufus, you havenât eaten anything for today. Please at least have some soup,â Maya persuaded in a low voice.
âIâm okay. Just leave it there,â I replied, tapping the cup with my index finger from time to time. I tried to calm myself down, but I couldnât bring myself to do so. I became agitated ever since I had seen the surveillance footage.
Maya didnât immediately leave even after she put down the tray. She just stood in front of the table, looking quite conflicted.
I glanced at her. âIs there anything else you need to tell me?â
âAre you doing alright, sir? You look really troubled. Is it because of Miss Todd?â Maya tentatively asked.
I pressed my lips into a thin line and went silent for a while. âIs there anything strange about Sylvia recently?â
âNot really. Miss Todd is in a good mood. Sheâs been having a good appetite recently. One thing she enjoys the most right now is talking to the baby. She always rubs her belly and says things like, âMommy loves you, and daddy does too. Youâre going to be the happiest baby in the world!'â
Maya laughed, and I subconsciously smiled.
âBy the way, Miss Todd has been knitting a scarf for you. She told me that it was almost autumn and that she should prepare some thick clothes for you to wear. I know things like these should be done by the servants, but Miss Todd always likes to do this for you. I think she really loves you,â Maya added. Somehow, her words made me feel a bit better.
âBut now that I think about it, there is indeed something that seems very strangeâ¦â Maya trailed off as she gave me a hesitant look.
âWhat is it?â I frowned.
âI-It just seems like Mr. Joshua keeps coming to see Miss Todd recently. They would often talk for a long time and seem to be discussing something.â Maya stammered before guiltily looking down.
After hearing that, I calmly nodded. âI see, thank you for telling me. You can go now, Maya.â
After she left, I drank the whiskey in one gulp and opened the envelope on the table. There was only one photo inside it.
In the photo, two people were standing at the entrance of the black market, and Blair could be seen whispering something in Sylviaâs ear. From the tricky angle, Sylvia and Blair were so close that it almost looked like they were kissing.
âF**k! That son of a bitch!â Omar cursed.
I simply put down the photo and began looking for my lighter. I wanted to smoke, but when I couldnât find it anywhere, the emotions I was trying to suppress suddenly ignited, and I couldnât take it anymore.
Immediately after, I pushed away the things that were placed on the table.
The sound of porcelain colliding with spoon and fork echoed throughout the room as they scattered on the floor.
