Sylvia's POV:

When Rufus came to my rescue, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

I rubbed the wrist he had gripped just now, wondering how I'd explain everything to Rufus. He was probably burning with jealousy now.

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."
