Leonard's POV:

Rufus and I were in a conversation in the corridor. As I watched the bustling scene outside, I was in a good mood.

Now that Alina was going to get married, she could look forward to a lifetime of happiness.

Subconsciously, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a chocolate bar. But a hand snatched it out of my fingers just as I was ready to bite into it.

"You shouldn't eat sweets." Rufus looked very serious as he tossed the candy into the bin.

I feigned a cough to cover my embarrassment. Rufus didn't treat me with any respect even though I was now his father-in-law.

"What's wrong?" He turned to me with a serious look.

Awkward, I cracked a grin. "Nothing. It's just you have been with Sylvia for a long time now, and I want to give you an anniversary gift."

As he frowned, Rufus appeared to be at a loss for words. He examined me as though there was something wrong with my brain.

"What do you and Sylvia like? Tell me." I bit the bullet and continued to ask.
