True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2167

Sylvia thought it was impossible no matter how. She wasn't full of herself to believe that Kendrix would care so much for her.

After giving a rueful smile, she said, "Maybe you've made a mistake. Regardless of his feelings, it's his choice."

Hearing the disappointment in the young girl's tone, Claudia was surprised. "Have the two of you quarreled again?"

"No, we can't even start a quarrel." Sylvia gave a wry smile again. "You should know very well what your cousin is like; he won't quarrel with anyone but only give the silent treatment."

"Touche. You're really getting more and more familiar with him." Claudia burst into laughter. "Anyway, I'm still worried about him. Swilling is going to upset his stomach; he's been a martyr to gastric problems."

Sylvia's heart skipped a beat.

It ached inexplicably.

"You know what? Forget it. You're still a kid. I shouldn't add to your worries by telling you this," Claudia said with a bitter smile. "Happy New Year and all the best with your studies."

"Okay, take care," Sylvia replied.

"Bye." Claudia hung up at that.

Tried as she might, Sylvia could not calm herself down after the call ended.

Flustered, she had an impulse to visit Kendrix.

She felt that she had to find out if he was all right.

On the one hand, she was perturbed by Kendrix's health, but on the other, she wanted to verify whether Claudia's words were true.

After much deliberation, she still decided to go and take a look in the end and snuck out after a quick change.

She didn't ask the chauffeur to drive her this time but hailed a taxi outside, heading straight for the school apartment.

Only when she had arrived did she realize how impetuous she was.

However, since she was already here, she had to bite the bullet.

Plucking up her courage, Sylvia went straight to Kendrix's apartment and knocked on the door.

The door opened in two shakes.

Kendrix appeared at the door, his handsome face flushed. He reeked of alcohol, and Sylvia frowned as the smell wafted toward her.

"Why are you drinking?" Sylvia asked fretfully, "What happened?"

At the sight of her, Kendrix squinted and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Detecting the note of frostiness in his tone, Sylvia furrowed her brow again. Nonetheless, when she saw his reddened face and that he seemed despondent and impatient with her, she got curious.

She wondered if his unusual behavior of imbibing had anything to do with her.

"I came to see you." She fixed her gaze at him without as much as a blink.

"You're not welcome here." Kendrix was ready to close the door.

But Sylvia managed to enter from under his arm.

Kendrix's brows locked into a deep furrow at that as he slammed the door shut.

Entering his unit, Sylvia found that the table was spotless, without any sign of food but a goblet and a half-full bottle of red wine.

Seeing such a scene, Sylvia quirked her brow. "What on earth happened to you? Why did you suddenly hit the bottle?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Kendrix asked apathetically.

Sylvia turned to look at him, saying word by word, "You tell me?"
