Chapter 2102
Sebastian looked Kendrix up and down. Even in the dark, he could see the glimmer in Kendrix's eyes, making him look mysterious.
Kendrix was not embarrassed to have his secret exposed, nor did he think he did wrong to lie.
He looked calm and composed.
It was strange for someone to be so calm in such a situation, but it was to be expected from a criminal investigation expert who had such an ability since young.
Sebastian smiled. Now that he knew the truth, there was no need for him to stay.
"Help me stop him!" Claudia shouted.
However, Kendrix grabbed her and said, "Come with me."
"Even if you want to settle the score with me, you don't have to do it now, right?" Claudia protested as Kendrix dragged her way. It seemed that she had enraged him.
Her heart lurched as she thought about how she had exposed his secret without permission. It did seem a little inappropriate now that she thought about it.
Feeling guilty, she sneaked a peek at him as she said tentatively, "It's not my fault. They already saw through us. They're too smart.
"Since they already know, why should you run away?
"It's unnecessary to run away if you don't like Sylvia.
"In fact, this lie you came up with would make them think you're interested in her."
Kendrix was silent as he held Claudia's wrist tightly, dragging her after him as he headed up to his apartment.
"Oh, come on. Don't be like this," said Claudia.
There was still no reply from him. He simply pursed his lips until they reached his apartment. He went inside, grabbed her luggage, and threw them out into the corridor.
"No way. How can you throw me out in the middle of the night?" She looked at him with wide eyes and then at her luggage on the ground, worried whether her luggage bag had broken from the throw.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
"You can go and stay anywhere you like. Just not here." With that, he shut the door on her.
Claudia was forced to swallow the words she was about to say.
This can't be real! Claudia thought to herself.
Was Kendrix that angry?
As far as Claudia could remember, Kendrix had rarely gotten so mad. But at that moment, he was enraged.
She could not help thinking that he was going overboard by throwing her out in the middle of the night.
She stared at his closed apartment door for a long time before her lips curled into a devilish smile.
She took out her phone and sent a message to him. "If you don't let me stay, I'll go to Sylvia and ask her to take me in."
She thought he would give in and come to the door as soon as she sent the message, but she was wrong. There was no reply from him.
Nheless, she was not surprised.
Claudia let out a helpless sigh.
How could she forget that Kendrix was a psychologist that could guess what she was thinking?
Compromising was impossible for him.
After ten minutes of staring at the door, she snorted.
"Are you really not going to let me stay the night? Aren't you being a little too cruel to your cousin? And it's so late!" she pouted and complained. "It seems that I have to seek help from my cousin-in-law and her brothers."
Her eyes lit up with expectation at the thought of Sylvia's three good-looking brothers.
Then, she dragged her luggage downstairs.
At that time, Sebastian had returned to the car that Clinton had switched back.
Both Gary and Ernest were inside too.
Ernest sat in the driver's seat with Gary behind him. Sebastian got into the front passenger seat.
Ernest had driven the car over while Gary rested in the back. Gary was exhausted and in pain, and his eyes were bloodshot. That was why he did not drive.
Sebastian was stunned to see Gary hurt. "Did you get hurt?" he asked.
Gary nodded without saying anything.
"Do you want to go to the hospital and get your wounds treated?" Sebastian asked.
"I'm good," Gary replied in a low voice.
To him, those injuries were nothing.
The pain in his heart stung more than the pain from the wounds on his body.
"Kendrix put up quite the fight,"
a
Ernest remarked as he glanced at Gary through the rearview mirror. There were not many who match for Gary in terms of
"If he can't defend himself, how can he be worthy of Sylvia?" Gary said. It seemed that Kendrix was being considerate of Sylvia by acting mean and distant.
If Kendrix did all that just for her, it meant that he was not that bad a person.
It was worth fighting with Kendrix, even if Gary did get hurt. Gary thought to himself.
Perhaps Kendrix was feeling as depressed as him.
Ernest nodded. "True. But are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?"
"I'm sure. I won't die from these injuries," replied Gary.
"Don't say touch things," Ernest reprimanded him.
Gary let out a wry smile.
"Are you not going to do anything about Celeste?" Ernest asked, changing the topic.
As soon as he asked that, Gary fell into deep thought.
Gary raised his eyebrows and said, "I can't, and I won't. Why should I do something unnecessary when she doesn't want to be bothered?"
Let Celeste have her freedom. Gary thought to himself.
He finally understood that he could not force a horse to drink.
So why should he force her to stay and make her suffer?
"It's almost New Year's. Are you sure it's okay to let her be with no bodyguards around her? What if something happens?" Ernest was
worried, but he knew Gary ware
worried than him. However, some things could not be helped.
Gary looked down at his feet before saying, "All's in God's will."
His mind blanked out after saying that. It was as if he had become incapable of having any thoughts.
He clearly knew that he had completely lost her.
In the future, he would be alone.
At that moment, it seemed as if their promise of getting married and having children was just a joke. Gary knew he had made many mistakes, but he could not admit that he intended to hurt Celeste.
Therefore, he could only let go of her after trying his best.
Closing his eyes, Gary said, "Let's go home."
Ernest started the engine and was about to drive them home.
As their car headed out, they saw a figure not far away.
The figure was slender and was dragging a large suitcase. Ernest pointed out, "Isn't that Kendrix's cousin?"
