After she went back up, Sylvia saw Claudia lying on her bed alone. She was alone in the room, and it was obvious that Sebastian had returned to his room. The loud banging sound earlier must have came from him closing his door.
She entered the room and closed the door, she asked Claudia, "What happened? That sound of the door being slammed just now scared me."
Claudia lay on one side and looked at Sylvia, she replied, "Sebastian lost his temper after I provoked him."
"Oh?" Sylvia was very surprised. "How did you provoke him? He is usually a calm and reserved person. We all know that he is very mature for his young age, but he actually lost his temper with you for a good few times. I don't think that he is a calm person at all anymore, but more like just a naive boy."
"If that is the case, then Sebastian and I might actually get closer." Claudia was immediately excited as she heard what Sylvia said. She propped up her head and lay down on one side, she looked at Sylvia, as if there were stars in her eyes. "He must be treating me differently, right?" "Of course, he treats you differently, and even his reaction is different. It is obvious that he is different from his usual self around you, so much so that I feel like I don't even know him anymore."
"Haha." Claudia laughed, she felt a little proud. "If that is the case, then I would really be more confident."
"Of course." Sylvia encouraged her. "In the end, he still helped you apply the ointment, didn't he?"
Claudia pursed her lips, she did not say anything.
It seemed like she had misunderstood.
It seemed that she still had high hopes for Sebastian.
Sebastian was not a gentleman towards Claudia at all.
"As I said, as soon as I threatened him, he immediately compromised," Sylvia spoke to herself, "Even though he was reluctant, he still complied in the end. This shows that he is still different towards you."
"I applied it myself," Claudia corrected her. "Your great brother threw it on the bed and asked me to apply it myself. He even sarcastically said that I could do it myself. Well, I think he's right. I indeed could do it myself, so I did. After I retorted, he got angry."
"Oh, I thought that he helped you do it." Sylvia started to yell, "Sebastian is such an infuriating person! How could he be so ungentlemanly?"
"He is just a boy in his teens. What do you expect of him?"
"A boy in his teens? Sebastian is going to be your husband in a few years, isn't he?"
"I still take him as a young boy right now."
"Claudia." Sylvia suddenly blinked and said, "Have you ever heard of a child bride?"
Claudia nodded. "Of course I have."
"Don't you think it feels like you are looking for a child bride right now?"
"Don't even think about that." Claudia was amused, she laughed. "A child bride has to be raised when they are underage, we are almost adults now."
"That's right." Sylvia passed the tea to her and said, "Get up and drink some tea."
"Thank you." Claudia sat up, she drank some tea before she said, "Come on, let's go downstairs."
"I think you should continue to lie down for a while."
"If I continue to lie down, I am worried that Kendrix and your uncle will be in an awkward situation." Claudia knew Kendrix's personality, he would never try to please anyone, nor would he even talk
at all.
As Lowell had probably guessed Kendrix and Sylvia's ambiguous relationship then, he might show some displeasure towards Kendrix.
Under such circumstances, if she continued to let the two men sit there on their own, it would surely be extremely awkward. They might even start fighting.
"That's true." Sylvia thought about it carefully. "When I went downstairs to get some water, the two of them were sitting on the sofa and did not say anything at all. I believe they have been in awkwardness for a while already."
"Then, what are we waiting for? Let's quickly go downstairs." Claudia drank some water, she was ready to get out of bed.
"What about Sebastian?" Sylvia was unwilling to give up, she wanted to give Claudia a chance to get closer to Sebastian.
