Chapter 2124
Kendrix raised his eyebrows, it seemed like he had something to say, but in the end, he did not speak his mind. Sylvia could tell that there Kendrix wanted to say something, but his mouth remained shut.
"Is there something you want to say?" She asked. "It looked like you wanted to say something just now."
Kendrix's face was still expressionless.
He did not say anything because he did not know what to say.
Sylvia waited for a few seconds, but Kendrix still did not speak, she felt a little disappointed.
She took a deep breath, and suddenly she did not know how to start.
The atmosphere fell into extreme silence again.
The atmosphere was so very quiet, and Sylvia thought that if she did not speak, it would be extremely awkward.
So, she tried her best to find something to talk about.
After some time, she asked Kendrix, "Mr. Trevino, why did you come here today?"
"Just to look around," Kendrix replied indifferently.
"Have you ever been here before?"
Even though Claudia had told her that he used to come here often when he was young, Sylvia still thought that it would be more polite for her to ask. "Yeah." He nodded.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Sylvia did not expect him to reply to the question like that, as she thought that he would not say anything at all.
She felt that he had changed, he was not the same as before.
Sylvia raised her eyes and looked at Kendrix. When she saw his expressionless but handsome face, she felt that it was a little strange, "When was that?"
She tried to find something to talk about, as she just wanted to learn more about Kendrix too.
"About a dozen years ago," Kendrix said.
"Oh, so it was when you were still a child." Sylvia smiled. "I did not expect you to have came here before when you were small."
"It's quiet here," Kendrix said placidly.
Sylvia looked at the pine trees in front of her. The place was indeed quiet, and it was not just quiet, it was also so cold that it felt a little eerie and bleak.
That feeling made Sylvia think that it was not a suitable place for children. Yet, he went there often when he was young. So, she did not know how to feel about that.
Another gust of wind blew over, and it caused Sylvia to shiver.
Due to it being winter, the air in the mountains were colder than when one was in an indoor setting.
After standing outside for a long time, it was inevitable for them to feel a little cold.
Sylvia could not help stomping her feet.
Kendrix immediately turned around to look at her, but there were still no emotions on his handsome face. Then, he frowned and said in a low voice, "Come on, let's go warm ourselves up in the car."
"What? What about Claudia and my uncle?" Sylvia stretched her head and looked around, but saw no trace of them.
"They are adults, they won't get lost," Kendrix said in a low voice.
"But!" Before Sylvia could finish her sentence, Kendrix grabbed her wrist.
Even though their clothes were thick, Sylvia could still feel the warmth of Kendrix's huge and strong
hands.
She looked at the man in front of her in a silly way. Kendrix lowered his head and looked at her. He did not say anything, he just pulled her along and walked down the mountains.
Just like that, Sylvia continued to stare at Kendrix who was in front of him. His back was very broad and straight.
His hands were very powerful. As he held her hand, he didn't let her go.
They walked and walked until they got into the car. He turned on the heater, and hot air flowed throughout the entire car.
She had not come back to her senses yet.
"Are you feeling any better?" Kendrix asked.
Sylvia nodded. "It is very warm."
"However, you just said you weren't cold," Kendrix said.
Sylvia did not say anything. She just wanted to stay with him a little longer earlier. She was afraid that she would annoy Kendrix if she said that she was feeling cold.
Sylvia lowered her head with guilt, she did not tell Kendrix that she lied to him earlier.
In truth, if she knew that Kendrix was only going to bring her to the car to warm her up she would have just told him. She was afraid of being separated from Kendrix.
Kendrix looked at her again. She lowered her head and dared not speak, and that softened Kendrix's countenance.
"Did Claudia bring you here?" Kendrix asked.
Sylvia was stunned. "What?"
"It was Claudia's idea to come here, right?" Kendrix knew that it was his cousin who brought them there without even having to guess. "That's right." Sylvia nodded. "This is the first time I have been to a church."
As of then, there were in the parking lot. A lot of cars were parked there. It seemed like there were a lot of people who were headed to the church in winter too.
Sylvia felt a little bit warmer, but she was worried that her uncle would be worried about her, so she took out her phone immediately. "I will tell my uncle where I am, otherwise, he might be worried about me."
"Okay." Kendrix nodded slightly.
Sylvia sent him a message and got a reply at once.
"Sylvia, are you all right?"
Lowell replied very quickly, he really was worried
about her.
Sylvia was a little shocked, she immediately replied, "I am fine, Uncle Lowell. Mr. Trevino and I are keeping ourselves warm in the car." When Lowell received the message, he did not reply anymore. He turned towards Claudia and said, "Your cousin and Sylvia have gone to his car in the parking lot. Let's go there too."
When Claudia heard that, she immediately said, "I have not finished taking pictures yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"You have already taken so many
photos, do you really want to take more?" Lowell really couldn't
understand why she liked to take et
photos so much. She had already taken over a hundred photos, yet she still wanted to take more.
"Of course I still want to take more photos. Why shouldn't I?" Claudia asked with a smile. "I have not been here for over a decade. Now that! am here again, I'm feeling nostalgic. So, Mr. Jones, please help me take more photos."
Lowell turned around to look at Claudia. She was not showing too much expressions, but he could tell that she was doing it on purpose. She wanted
to create an opportunity for Kendrix and Sylvia.
It was a chance for them to be alone.
How could he not be worried? As he thought about it, Sylvia was still just an underage child.
"How much longer do you need then?" Lowell stared at Claudia seriously and asked.
"Come on, why are you so serious?" Claudia waved her hands and said. "Fine, I can see that you have a lot of dissatisfaction towards me. You must be worried about Sylvia."
"If you know that, then why are you still wasting my time?" Lowell did not hide anything from her, he admitted it directly, and there was a hint of reproach in his tone.
"I have told you. We don't have to worry about this at all. If anything happens, I'll bear the responsibility." Claudia promised once more, "For real, I can promise you that."
"We are not close, and I don't have any obligation to trust you." Lowell returned Claudia her phone and said, "If you want to take photos, you can take them yourself. I am sorry, I can't stay here with you."
After that, Lowell was ready to leave the mountains.
When Claudia saw the situation, she immediately sighed.
"Mr. Jones, you are really uptight. You don't have a girlfriend, do you?"
Upon hearing that, Lowell frowned again. He stopped, turned around, and asked Claudia, "What do you mean by that?"
"You are really pouring rain down on our parade, you know that?" Claudia spoke helplessly, "You are in such a hurry to leave the mountains at this time, but can tell that it is because you want to protect your niece However, like I've said, this might not be what she wants. If you don't care about what people want and not, and just show up now, you will only be a party pooper."
