True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 2109

That way, they could not avoid physical contact.

The faint scent of soap from Kendrix's body wafted into Sylvia's nostrils.

He smelled very clean, and it was mixed with Kendrix's own scent. There was not a hint of sweat at all.

Sylvia took a deep breath and immortalized the smell in her memory, not wanting to forget it.

Kendrix stiffened when Sylvia passed underneath his arms, and he managed to detect the faint hint of jasmine from her body.

He was stuck in a daze when Sylvia entered the house.

Pursing his lips, he closed the door.

Sylvia found that Kendrix's apartment was neat and tidy.

She was a little surprised.

Kendrix was not here for long, but he had cleaned up the place very well.

Sylvia was of the opinion that a man's room would surely be messy. What she saw made her view

Kendrix in a different light.

She knew that the person she liked was bound to be excellent in every aspect.

She turned and faced Kendrix.

Kendrix looked cold and rather indifferent.

The room was quiet.

He stood at the door and did not go further into the apartment.

Although the door was closed, he looked rather imposing as he stood there, making Sylvia nervous.

Sylvia took a deep breath and broke the silence first.

"I asked you a question just now, but you haven't answered."

"What question?" Kendrix asked coldly.

"You promised me that if I got first place in this test, you would agree to one of my requests. You didn't forget about that, right?" Sylvia mustered up her courage to ask.

"I haven't forgotten." Kendrix answered softly.

"Are you going to fulfill your promise?" Sylvia asked, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Kendrix was silent, and his face remained expressionless. However, his gaze was piercing.

Especially when he looked at Sylvia. She was not sure if she had mistaken it, but something felt different about Kendrix.

However, she could not put her finger on it.

Perhaps it was just intuition.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Sylvia stood in front of him, waiting for an answer. However, Kendrix did not seem like he wanted to say anything.

Sylvia steeled herself again and said, "I'll take your silence as agreement, then."

Kendrix raised his eyebrows.

Sylvia continued, "My request is that you can't have a girlfriend or be with any other woman for the next five years." Kendrix's dark eyes bored right into Sylvia's. "That sounds like more than one request."

"It's just one. Plus, I said it all at once, so it counts as one," Sylvia replied.

"That's too much," answered Kendrix.

"I don't think it's too much," Sylvia replied stubbornly. "It's not against the law nor hical, so it's fine."

"What happens after the five years is up?" Kendrix asked.

"I'll come and see you after I graduate." Sylvia pursed her lips, blushing even harder.

Kendrix fixed his steady gaze on Sylvia.

Sylvia lowered her head, not brave enough to hold up under Kendrix's scrutiny.

Due to that, she missed the sad look that crossed Kendrix's face.

Kendrix clenched his jaw hard, feeling a mix of complicated emotions in his chest.

He did not say a word.

Sylvia's heart beat like a drum, and she grew tired of waiting. Finally, she looked up at Kendrix.

She found that he was staring right back at her with his steely dark eyes full of emotion.

Sylvia immediately became a little flustered, and her heart pounded so hard that it felt like it would jump out of her chest.

She thought Kendrix would say something, but he said nothing.

Sylvia stood in front of him quietly, waiting for him to say something.

However, Kendrix was a very patient man. He remained silent as he kept staring at Sylvia.

Meanwhile, Sylvia told herself not to panic.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Sylvia asked.

Kendrix seemed to be in a trance as he did not move at all. After a while, he slowly approached Sylvia.

He said nothing as he sat down on the sofa.

Then, he looked up at Sylvia's face.

Their eyes met.

He asked, "What if I can't do it?"

Sylvia's eyes narrowed and she bit her lower lip. "You'll definitely be able to do it."

"How can you be so sure?"

"I just know," Sylvia replied

stubbornly. "Furthermore, I knowet

that you did all that with your cousin just to get me off your back and teach me a lesson."

Kendrix's tone was icy as he said, "Since you know that you should be studying, then you shouldn't be here."

Sylvia's body swayed a little in surprise, but she remained silent.

She just looked at Kendrix without saying another word.

However, the silence only upset Sylvia.

She finally plucked up the courage to say what was on her mind. "It was you who asked me to come."

Kendrix snorted indignantly. "When did I ever ask

you to come?"

"You did," Sylvia insisted. "You're just unwilling to face your true feelings."

Kendrix did not reply.

Silence blanketed them like a heavy fog, and it hurt Sylvia.

Looking at Kendrix's calm face, Sylvia felt like she had been too emotional.

She was not as shrewd as he was.

However, she was braver than Kendrix.

Nheless, his heart was like an impregnable fortress that could not be breached. It was impossible for him to show his emotions.

Of course, Sylvia knew why that was.

It was because he was still a teacher

at the school. However, Sylvia was afraid that even after Kendrix left, he would still be indifferent to her because she was underage.

That was the final nail in the coffin.

Sylvia laughed self-deprecatingly. "I don't know how to explain it, but I'll come to you after my graduation."

Kendrix glanced at his watch and said firmly, "It's time for you to go home."

"I'll go back soon. Give me another five minutes,"

Sylvia implored.

"Your job is to study," Kendrix reiterated.

"I know that, and I'll focus on my studies. I'll be top of my class. After I

graduate, I'll come to see you

declared forthrightly.
