Crystal's POV:

When Rufus heard my answer, his lips curled up in disdain and he got to his feet. Pulling me closer, he lifted my chin, and asked, "Why are you crying if you don't love me? Your eyes are red."

I sniffled and irritably slapped his hand away. I didn't want to talk to him.

Rufus persisted. He sat beside me and said, "I don't believe that you don't love me. You're a liar. You always like to speak the opposite of what you really mean."

"It's your choice to believe it or not." I turned around and wiped my tears, feeling embarrassed.

Rufus didn't believe me. He shifted so that he was sitting facing me. "Why are you keeping me away from you? Why did you kiss me just now if you don't love me? I don't believe you are so cruel. Crystal, admi it. You love me. You can't escape from me."

Rufus annoyed me so much that I yelled, "Stop it. You don't know anything!"

When I noticed the stunned disbelief on his face, I regretted my words again.

I rubbed my eyes, lowered my head, and sobbed. "There are so many things I don't know how to tell you. It's best that you have no knowledge of them. Anyway, I don't love you anymore."

The atmosphere was heavy with tension for several minutes. After a long time, Rufus stirred. He slowly lifted my chin, gently dried my tears with his fingers, and tenderly said, "There are many things
