True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 2187

Slightly stumped, Sebastian fell into silence, seemingly lost in thoughts.

Standing next to him, Chigo was also surprised by his reaction, fixing his gaze at him, asking, "What? Do you like Kendrix too?"

"No way!" Sebastian looked up and met Chigo's thoughtful eyes. "This isn't funny, Chigo."

"Then you must be into Miss Loris," Chigo said firmly.

Dumbfounded, Sebastian turned his head over to Chigo, his brows locked into a deep furrow, looking evidently objecting to Chigo's assumption. "Chigo, do you think I will fall for a woman who is way older than me?"

"Age is not a problem," Chigo said indifferently with a hint of a smile in his eyes as he looked at Sebastian. "It never has been."

Sebastian pursed his lips. "Chigo, if you really think that, then I don't know what to tell you."

"Then, you don't have to say anything; I can tell." Chigo continued to smile enigmatically.

Sebastian frowned, seemingly hiding something.

Meanwhile, the girls had finished buying their pendants and went ahead.

Suddenly, Claudia's phone rang.

Checking the caller, she smiled. "Ha, I knew it." She thought, "Kendrix definitely can't sit still now that he knows someone is trying to approach Sylvia."

See? He even called.

Claudia answered the phone in two shakes.

"Hello." She deliberately didn't address him, only shot a look at Sylvia.

Clueless, Sylvia only assumed it was a friend.

But then she heard Claudia say, "Ha, I knew you wouldn't just sit back and watch."

Kendrix didn't beat around the bush either, cutting to the chase, "Send me the specific location."

"Are you really coming?" Claudia blinked.

"Just send me the address."

"But we will be leaving in a while." Claudia worried that they'd miss each other and waste his time. The walk from his apartment would take close to half an hour, plus heavy traffic, it would easily pass the half-hour mark.

She had a hunch they would definitely not be around anymore in half an hour.

"I'm at the south gate of the commercial street,"

Kendrix said.

"Oh." Surprised once more, Claudia looked over at Sylvia, who happened to be looking at her as though wondering who was on the other end of the line. "Wow, you're fast. Keep walking inside for about a yard or so."

Right after she said so, Kendrix hung up the phone.

She stared at her phone and mumbled, "Well, excuse you. Must you always be so mysterious?"

"Is someone joining?" Sylvia asked.

She had a hunch it might be Kendrix. After all, he was the only one Claudia contacted just now.

However, she couldn't be sure.

"Take a guess." Claudia kept her guessing, not revealing immediately.

"A friend of yours?" Sylvia guessed.

"That's right, well, sort of." Claudia thought.

If anything, she did get along with Kendrix like friends.

So she wouldn't exactly be lying, no?

"Oh." Not knowing Claudia had twisted the truth, Sylvia felt a little disappointed, thinking she had guessed wrong.

Only then did it strike her that she still hadn't replied to Kendrix's text.

Oh well, she thought that she would explain it to him in a video call later at night.

As the thought ran across her mind, Sylvia raised her head inadvertently and saw a tall man walking toward them from the crowd not too far away. He was wearing a black coat, looking at her with an apathetic expression.

His well- defined and resolute face was expressionless, striding through the crowd, walking toward Sylvia.

Gawking, she returned to her senses and asked Claudia, "Did you tell Kendrix to come?"

Nodding, she replied, seeing that her cousin was nearing them. "I didn't ask him to come specifically; he came on his own. I just said Chigo might be into you, and here he is. See? You've underestimated how much you mean to him."

Sylvia muttered, "You sure are nosy."

"Sorry?" Claudia didn't hear what Sylvia said, wanting her to repeat, but Kendrix was already standing before them.

His gaze was commanding as he looked at Sylvia, standing with an inexplicably condescending posture.

Feeling self-conscious from his stare, Sylvia

asked, "Mr. Trevino, why are you here?"

There was an irrepressible joy in her tone. She really wanted to see him, and he actually showed up.

Seeing him, she thought of their kiss that night; it was one of burning passion. That man was the total opposite of the currently deadpan and even slightly sullen Kendrix in front of her.

Following that was Kendrix's solemn voice, "You don't want me to come?"

Even if his tone was not that great, Sylvia was still happy to hear his voice. "Of course I do."

In reality, she long wished for him to be here.

Just that she was worried he would nag her, so she didn't say anything.

However, seeing his expression, she thought he might have mistaken that she didn't want him to be here.

No, he had taken it the wrong way!

Kendrix still had his eyes on his girl, completely disregarding Claudia and even overlooking the two guys behind them.

Judging from his posture, Sylvia thought he was genuinely angry.

Nervous, she said, "That's not it."

Hearing that, Kendrix eased up slightly and only then turned to Claudia.

Chuckling, she was all smug, as though saying, "See? Your expression is written all over your face."

She had already told him he wouldn't be able to keep them all bottled up, yet he still wanted to pull all these useless efforts.

How pretentious.

"You sure are fast, Kendrix," Claudia joked, "Did you come in a rocket?"

Kendrix snorted, "So what if I did?"

Claudia laughed. "You're even joking,

looks like you're in a good mood." Claudia blinked and took a step forward, standing sideways to him, whispering, "See the guy next to Sebastian? The good-looking one. He's Chigo. I heard you two have met once."

"I know," Kendrix said lightly.

Sylvia couldn't hear the cousins' whispers, but she was happy to be able to see Kendrix, so she was grateful for Claudia's decision.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

If it weren't for her, this wouldn't be happening.

Ever since Kendrix showed up, Sylvia's eyes never left him.

Kendrix glanced over at Chigo and Sebastian, his gaze like the deep ocean.

Chigo said to Sebastian, with a quirked eyebrow, "Looks like Claudia isn't some simple woman."

Sebastian snorted. "She has a long tongue."

Chigo burst into laughter. "You sound livid; seems like Miss Loris has really stepped on your toe."

Tense, Sebastian grew upset seeing Kendrix.

Perhaps Kendrix's behavior from that lunch had truly disappointed Sebastian.

It led him to think Kendrix was too cowardly, not worthy of Sylvia at all.

However, Kendrix showed up when Chigo did.

How infuriating.

Sebastian brought Chigo over to the group.

Throwing his manners out the window, he said coldly to Kendrix, surprise to see you here, Mr.

"What

Trevino. Did you come on purpose, or were you just passing by?"

Not even the slightest ruffled, Kendrix looked at Sebastian and thought his attitude toward him had changed.

Of course, he knew why.

However, it didn't bother him, saying, "On purpose."

Shocked, Sylvia didn't expect him to admit so frankly.

Her heart raced at that, thumping violently.

As Kendrix shifted closer to her, Sylvia instinctively tensed up.

She was aware that she was behaving rather weirdly. However, the moment their kiss came to mind, she couldn't relax, no matter how.

Her ears were filled with noises from the busy street.

It was an exceptionally lively atmosphere.

Sylvia was only inches away from Kendrix, enveloped in his shadow, and she could smell the faint minty scent on him.

What was more, her line of sight was the collar of his coat and his crew neck sweater, perfectly showing his seductive Adam's apple.

When speaking to Chigo and Sebastian, his Adam's apple would bob.

All Sylvia knew right then was that her mind was in a complete state of chaos, blank.

She couldn't concentrate at all as his presence distracted her entirely.

Plus, Kendrix's reply, 'on purpose', kept replaying in her mind.

Inexplicably, happiness rippled within her as she looked up at him. His tall figure was all she could see.

Stumped by his answer, Sebastian sneered and said, "You came on purpose? For who?"

He was sure Kendrix wouldn't say that he was here for Sylvia, so he asked with some provocation.

Reeled, Sylvia looked over at her brother with bafflement, somewhat upset.

Fixing his gaze at Sebastian, Kendrix was just about to answer him when Sylvia beat him to it.

"For who? For Claudia, of course.

What a weird question, Sebastian Mr. Trevino is Claudia's cousingof course, he'd be concerned when she had come."

"Oh?" Sebastian quirked his eyebrows. "Is that so? I thought Mr. Trevino came for someone else."

Kendrix took a casual gander at Sylvia. This girl was defending him.

He didn't need to be a genius to know that. A warm feeling spread from his heart, growing intense.

He then looked over at Chigo, who was looking at him with a half-smile.

The two equally outstanding men faced each other, and a hint of menace laced their similarly fathomless gaze.

Kendrix ignored Sebastian's rudeness and looked over at Chigo with a faint smile. "We meet again, Mr. Robinson." Keeping his hands in his pockets, Chigo smiled. "Yeah, we meet again."
