Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld

The supermarket was packed with people of all ages. Lela had never been to a supermarket before, so she was super curious. "There's so much stuff here," she said. It was way more diverse than the stores in the mall. Suddenly, a couple passed by them. The girl was sitting in the shopping cart while the boy pushed it, looking totally in love.

Seeing this, Lela's eyes lit up. Sylvester noticed the sparkle in her eyes and immediately knew what she wanted.

He picked Lela up horizontally. Sylvester, being nearly 6.5 feet tall, made Lela feel like her perspective had suddenly elevated. She wrapped her arms around Sylvester's neck, her slender legs swinging in the air. "Sylvester, put me in the cart, quick," she said, her voice filled with excited urgency. At that moment, Lela was like a curious child, eager to explore the world with her tall companion.

Holding her, Sylvester deliberately didn't put her down. Instead, he leaned in closer to Lela, his calm eyes concealing a storm of emotions. "You want to sit in the cart, huh?"

Her eyes shined as she looked at the cart, nodding vigorously. "Yes."

"Kiss me, and I'll let you sit in the cart," he said.

Lela then turned her gaze to Sylvester. Seeing the undeniable determination in his eyes, she knew she couldn't avoid it. She glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then leaned in to give Sylvester a quick kiss. Just as she was about to pull away, Sylvester held the back of her head and deepened the kiss. Holding Lela, Sylvester kissed her passionately as he slowly placed her into the cart. His hands pressed on either side of the cart as he leaned in for a deep, intense kiss, trying to take her breath away.

A sudden exclamation startled Lela, making her body tremble involuntarily. Sylvester gently stroked Lela, his left hand supporting the back of her head. He turned his gaze, his eyes coldly glaring at Susanne, who was holding a box of high-end chocolates. His voice was icy. "Aren't you going to leave?"

His tone was filled with extreme disgust, as if Susanne were a piece of rotting garbage. Susanne was startled and took a few steps back. Lela followed his gaze and squinted when she saw who it was. It was Susanne!

Susanne stared wide-eyed at Sylvester. Her heart raced as she saw him glaring at her. But she didn't want to look foolish in front of the handsome Sylvester. She forced a sweet smile and then looked at Lela, her smile deliberately sweet. "Lela, is The your boyfriend?"

Lela had no fondness for Susanne, so her attitude was naturally cold and indifferent. "Yes."

"But the school has a rule against early relationships, you...." before she could finish, Sylvester lost his patience. He turned and ruffled Lela's hair, his eyes filled with extreme impatience. "Who is she?" Lela was indifferent. "Just a classmate."

"Lela, I'm just being kind. If someone else finds out about this..." Susanne continued, but was interrupted again.

"I won't repeat it again," Sylvester shouted, his face extremely grim. "And besides, me kissing my girlfriend is none of your business. Get lost!"

Startled by Sylvester's shout, Susanne's body trembled, and she ran away in fear. Watching Susanne's retreating figure, Lela blinked. "You scared her away."

With the annoying onlooker gone, Sylvester's expression softened. He kissed the corner of Lela's lips. "If she hadn't run, she might have lost her life." Lela couldn't help but laugh.
