True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2160

Stumped, Sylvia looked over at Kendrix at that.

He said nothing but only took a gander at her. It was a yes since he didn't turn it down.

She nodded and said, "Okay."

With that, they walked to the door, and she asked him, "Mr. Trevino, how come you're in this area? Do you have relatives living here?"

He nodded.

"I see. I wonder who." She was trying to ease the mood between them by finding something to talk about.

"They live quite some distance from here," he answered.

He didn't say which of his relatives was staying in the area. She felt frustrated not being able to find out more about him.

The two only walked a few feet before Kendrix stopped and turned around to look at Sylvia.

Since she was looking at her feet while she walked, she almost bumped into him.

Luckily, she stopped in the nick of time.

She looked up, only to find him looking down at her.

The massive difference in their height overwhelmed her.

His presence was commanding.

For a moment, she forgot how to speak.

Kendrix looked at her in silence, boring holes into her body as if he wanted to see through her.

Sylvia was stunned.

The awkward atmosphere lasted for quite some time.

Just when Sylvia was about to say something, Kendrix spoke, "Since you have a rendezvous later, I won't take up more of your time. Goodbye."

Her face turned pale at the thought of Chigo coming to see her. But she didn't agree to hang out with him at all.

So why did Kendrix say it in such a cold tone?

But on second thought, that tone meant he minded Chigo's visit, didn't it?

Delight filled her pale face, and she smiled at the man in front of her. "But do you think I should show up?"

Kendrix didn't answer but only fixed his gaze at her, emotions surging beneath his eyes.

Sylvia knew he wouldn't say anything, so she no longer waited for his response and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Trevino. Thank you for today."

He couldn't believe it; this girl was driving him away! He frowned, and his face turned grim.

She felt the change in his mood.

She smiled but said nothing.

Seeing her smile, he blinked and said, "Don't go."

What?!

Sylvia was stunned. She didn't expect Kendrix to speak his mind.

Smiling, she retorted, "Why not?"

"Because I'm your teacher, and you're still a student. You should do as I say." He said in an aloof manner, like a teacher telling off his student.

Feeling joyous inside, she thought she liked this side of him.

His dominance right then exuded possessiveness toward her.

Yes, that was it.

She believed she was right in thinking so.

However, she wanted to learn more of his thoughts, so she couldn't help probing, "But won't it be rude if I don't show up?"

The glimmer in his eyes dissipated as he replied, "You don't want to go either, don't you? Or you wouldn't ask for my opinion."

He saw right through her.

Taken aback, Sylvia's face flushed slightly.

She was well aware Kendrix was on a completely different level than her. He could see through her without difficulty while she was merely teaching a fish how to swim.

She lowered her head and mumbled, "You're right, I don't want to go, but I want to know if you want me to."

"Is there a difference?" he asked.
