Chapter 18
"Didn't you say you weren't into me? Then what's this diary all about?"
"You've got it all wrong. It's just sscribbles, doesn't prove a thing," Sylvia said, her face emotionless as she
tried to push him away.
At the mention of scribbles, Rupert's eyes narrowed, "Is that so?"
In the next moment, to Sylvia's astonishment, he reached into the fire, pulling out a half-burnt sheet of paper.
Glancing at the elegant handwriting, he repeated the words in a deep tone, "I fancy you."
Rupert held the charred paper between his fingers, his demeanor lazy and indifferent, his expression cold and
detached despite the sentimental words.
He had always been indifferent and ruthless towards her, she knew that.
But the mocking look in his eyes made Sylvia feel stifled and rigid. As if her past affection was nothing but dirt in
his eyes, unworthy of attention.
Sylvia's shoulders trembled slightly as she struggled to suppress her emotions, speaking calmly, "It's nameless,
doesn't have to be you. It could be anyone, but definitely not you."
She tried to move her hand but was caught by Rupert, who pulled her closer. Rupert leaned in slowly, his chilly
and threatening presence enveloping Sylvia.
"Who then? Sylvia, thought you could just provokeand walk away? No one can change what | want."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSylvia struggled a few times, but he only got closer. At that moment, voices of a young couple chatting came
from the nearby path.
"Do you smell something burning?"
"Yeah, I'm burning up with desire!"
"Idiot, who's joking with you? You...ugh...stop it! Don't kisslike that."
"Just one more kiss."
Their voices, filled with flirtation and affection, intermittently reached them.
Sylvia cringed, her body involuntarily shivering. Rupert noticed, a playful smirk crossing his handsface as
his hand casually slid up her back.
"Letgo," Sylvia said in a panic.
"Speak up, not afraid of being caught?" Rupert's gaze was profound.
Sylvia bit her lip. Yet, the couple seemed to notice.
"Who's there? | wanna see who's ruining my date!"
Hearing footsteps, Sylvia began to sweat nervously, unable to push the man in front of her away.
Lowering her voice, she demanded through gritted teeth, "Go."
Instead of leaving, Rupert pressed closer, deliberately rubbing his firm chest against her as if to ignite her.
Finally, his breath lingered on her ear, his gaze inscrutable, punishingly gripping her body with every movement,
making her feel utterly embarrassed under the broad daylight. "Who is it? Or shall we let others see what you
look like now?"

"Hmm?" His tone was low, running out of patience.
As the couple approached, Sylvia clenched her fists and shook her head.
"There's no one."
Just as the couple got closer, Rupert
