Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince

Chapter 103: No-show 

Sylvia's POV:

My phone buzzed in my pocket as I walked to the classroom.I took it out and saw it was a call from Maya.I gritted my teeth and turned off my phone.

The pain and dejection in my heart made me want to cry.

'Don't be willful, Sylvia,' I warned myself again.

I walked to my classroom, trying my best not to let the disappointment crush me.

Rufus would soon find out that I wouldn't be attending the party.

Maya had brought me soup every day.I didn't want her to wait at the entrance and catch a cold, so with Flora's permission, I gave Maya a key to our dormitory.

Since Maya couldn't get through to me now, I knew she would definitely go to my dormitory to find me.

By then, she would see the dress and my message.I walked to the classroom absentmindedly.

When Blair saw me, he was a little surprised and stared at me in a daze.

"Sorry, sir.I'm late," I said indifferently.

I tried acting normal even though I couldn't shake off the ball of disappointment that had settled in the pit of my stomach.

Blair clenched his fists and coughed.

"Sylvia, I permit you to take the afternoon off."

His words attracted the attention of the other students.

I forced a smile and said, "I want to attend the class, sir."

"Well, come on in then."

Blair's body trembled as if he were surprised by my indifference.

I nodded and walked stiffly to my seat.

Flora rubbed her eyes and looked at me in shock.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm not going to the party," I replied, staring into the distance.

Rufus's angry face flashed in my mind.

'Damn it! Why do I like it even if he gets angry?'

In a fit of pique, I abruptly bent over the desk.Flora was frightened.She pulled my sleeves and asked, "What happened? Did you guys fight?"

"No." I sat up straight again, pretending to be relaxed. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"I just remembered that my morning workout wasn't perfect."

"Then, why didn't you go to the party?"

Flora propped her chin in the palm of her hand and eyed me quizzically.I opened the book and turned the pages, pretending to be unrestrained.

"Prince Rufus has found another date.He doesn't need me anymore."

"What?" Flora shouted.

She quickly clamped her mouth innocently and scooted closer to me, "What happened? Why did he change his mind all of a sudden? Everything was fine before I left."

"I don't know how to behave or dance like a lady.Now that there is a more suitable she-wolf to accompany Prince Rufus to the party, I feel more relaxed.You should be happy for me, Flora," I explained, forcing a smile.

Flora nodded in a daze as if she were still analyzing my words.

"It's still a pity.You looked amazing in those beautiful clothes and jewelry." I lowered my head and didn't respond.

It felt as if a cloud of misfortune was following me everywhere.

"But it's a good thing you didn't go.I heard Cherry will also be there at the party.She might make trouble for you again." Flora patted my shoulder comfortingly.

"Cherry will go to the party?"

I looked at her in surprise.I hadn't heard Cherry's name of late and almost forgot her existence.

Flora snorted with disdain.

"She asked for leave in the afternoon and was flaunting the invitation to everyone.I didn't know how she got it.Is there any blind royal member who likes her?"

I also found it equally surprising.

Cherry was an arrogant she-wolf.She wouldn't care about ordinary royal members.

Everyone knew that she was interested in Prince Richard.

She wandered around the royal palace every day after class and tried every means to get close to him.

Unfortunately, Lucy intercepted the prince.

I thought Cherry would stop chasing after Richard since he had found his mate.

However, it looked like she had planned something big.

Soon, the class began, and I forgot everything about Cherry.
