A Graduation Gift

Chapter 402 Rufus Changed (Part One)

Not a single word came out from Cassandra's lips. This caused an unbearable silence to fill the air in the room. The smile Rufus had been wearing, got swept away from his face when he looked at Cassandra. But she just kept quiet, appearing to be so dejected.

Rufus seemed quite puzzled, as he was under the assumption that he had actually told Cassandra everything already. So, why would she even say that? Surely, there must've been some kind of misunderstanding.
