Kendrix walked over to them at a steady pace. He looked at Gary with calm eyes.
He had an epiphany of some sort and decided to walk over.
Celeste could tell that Kendrix was a fairly confident man. He was a very determined teacher. He did everything calmly. He had a powerful aura, but it made him feel a little unapproachable.
Her impression of Kendrix was quite good.
Kendrix walked up to them.
Sylvia greeted him awkwardly, "Mr. Trevino."
Kendrix glanced at Gary coldly. His gaze lingered on Gary's face for a long while before looking up to meet Gary's eyes.
When their eyes met, the two young men were both surprised.
Gary's gaze on Kendrix was calm as well.
Kendrix didn't say anything. His gaze once again shifted to Gary's hand, which was gripping onto Sylvia's wrist. This stunned Gary.
Celeste was also shocked.
It was a look that made Gary unconsciously want to let go of Sylvia.
Gary smiled slightly and let go of his sister's wrist. Then, he said with a smile, "Mr. Trevino? I am Sylvia's older brother. I have something to ask you."
Kendrix smiled faintly and asked, "Do you want to ask me why I brought your sister out at this time? And why would I choose to bring a girl out all alone by herself?"
Gary's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help himself from gaping at the man.
Kendrix did not look panicked at all. Instead, he looked calm and collected.
Gary frowned. He thought that the man was really amazing. He was able to guess what he was thinking at a glance. Those were indeed the questions he wanted to ask.
Gary had no choice but to be honest and admit that the man had guessed right. Thus, he smiled faintly and said, "That's right. Since you've already guessed what I wanted to ask you, why don't you give me the answers to them?"
Kendrix smiled and said, "I hadn't planned to bring your sister out with me. She insisted and followed me instead."
Gary frowned and immediately retorted with a smile. His gaze turned colder. "Either way, I don't think it's appropriate. My sister is still underaged."
Kendrix's words made Gary suddenly feel uncomfortable. He suddenly felt protective towards his sister.
Gary was the only one who could bully his own sister. No one else could do it.
Kendrix had implied that between him and Sylvia, Sylvia was the one in the wrong, and the situation had nothing to do with him. Gary honestly thought that it was not right.
Sylvia froze in an instant.
Her face was pale as she looked at Kendrix.
Kendrix looked back at her calmly, as if he had just been making casual small talk. He did not seem to take the situation seriously at all.
Celeste looked at Sylvia worriedly. She could see clearly that Sylvia had paled at Kendrix's words.
Sylvia turned towards Kendrix and looked at him with worry.
Kendrix looked as calm as before.
"I'm telling the truth," Kendrix said. It made what he said before seemed more cruel.
Gary smiled lightly and his gaze turned even colder. "Sylvia, did you hearthat?"
Sylvia heard Gary call out to her, but she didn't look back at him. Her expression stiffened, and she looked up at Kendrix. Suddenly, she said with a smile, "Gary, it's true. I followed him here. I found out that he was going to the bookstore, so I came here to find him."
"Sylvia." Gary's tone was much colder. He didn't like the forced smile on Sylvia's face. He felt distressed.
Sylvia had been a proud, arrogant girl. However, at this moment, it seemed that she had forced a smile and was trying to please someone else.
