True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2181

"Huh!" Everyone was floored, looking over at Heinz in shock, wondering what had happened for him to say such words.

It didn't sound like he was joking either.

Judging by his expression, it certainly didn't look like he was.

Even Grace couldn't help looking at her husband with a hint of doubt and blame in her eyes.

How could he say such harsh words in front of the young ones?

She caressed her belly, wanting to comfort the babies in her womb, hoping they didn't hear what their father had said just now.

Although curious, everyone calmed down soon after.

The butler was long used to this situation, so he left things be like Heinz instructed.

After all, Mr. Robinson didn't ask to come inside, else Mr. Heinz wouldn't have said so.

"Yes." The butler nodded at once and left the room.

Sylvia took a gander at her father and thought of how she went out to return the hair comb; she decided to notify everyone lest they misunderstand her.

"Mommy, Dad, I went out just now to return the hair comb to Chigo."

It seemed that her daughter had made a choice.

With that, Grace had a good idea of what was on Sylvia's mind.

Though it was a shame, she still thought if Sylvia didn't like Chigo, nothing he did would make a difference no matter how hard he tried.

Love was an unexplainable event; the situation wouldn't change just because one was moved.

There had to be a mutual attraction before both made a move for the love to come to fruition.

With that in mind, Grace nodded and said, "Good that you gave it back. Since you've made your choice, I will respect it."

Heinz didn't say anything, deadpan, as though he didn't care about the matter at all.

On the other hand, Gary merely quirked his eyebrow, looking at his little sister. Though he didn't know the details, he knew Chigo had feelings for Sylvia; sadly, the love was unrequited.

Ernest also merely smiled. It seemed that Sylvia

still chose Kendrix in the end.

Sebastian, however, frowned and got up, "Mom, Dad, I'm done. I'm going out for a walk."

Stumped, Grace asked, "Where are you going so early in the morning?"

"To check on Chigo." Sebastian didn't hide his intentions and even gave his twin sister a meaningful look.

Weird out by his stare, Sylvia suddenly realized Sebastian seemed to be close with Chigo.

Could it be that he was the one who told Chigo all about her situation in school?

Or was he Chigo's spy?

It couldn't be, right?

Sylvia fell deep in thought, looking at her brother's retreating figure with a suspicious gaze.

Grace and Heinz exchanged glances but didn't say anything. They knew the kids were close childhood friends, and Chigo preferred to play with the younger ones so he would accompany Sebastian and Sylvia more often. It wouldn't surprise them that their youngest son was concerned about Chigo and went to check on him as they were close.

With a sigh, Grace told Sebastian just as he was stepping out the door, "Sebastian, if Chigo hasn't

eaten, go and grab a bite with him."

Sebastian looked back at his mother, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. His mother sure was the kindest.

Sebastian nodded. "Alright, Mom."

With that, he headed out.

Sylvia muttered, "Since when did Sebastian and Chigo get so close?"

"You, on the other hand, seemed to have completely forgotten about Chigo," Gary said.

He remembered she used to follow Chigo around all the time.

Sure enough, time and space were enough to make people forget about plenty of things, and their feelings would turn indifferent.

Their affection for each other when they were young was now gone.

"Gary, can you please not spout nonsense?" Sylvia immediately cleared things up. "There's nothing between us. Besides, he hasn't returned for so many years, and I am indeed forgetful. I've nearly forgotten what he looked like."

Gary looked at Sylvia and said, "Ever heard of the saying, only seeing the smile of a new love but not the weeps of the old one?" "Don't think I don't know what you're insinuating, Gary. You're making it as though I'm a player." Naturally, Sylvia wouldn't accept such defamation. "I was a kid five years ago, and I still am now."

"Touche." Gary alluded, "You still haven't come of age yet, and your heart might change again in a few years."

Taken aback by her brother's words, Sylvia knew he was warning her that she might think otherwise of Kendrix in a few years.

Sylvia pursed his lips and said, "Thank you for your advice, Gary, but my focus now is on my studies and not all this garbage."

"Pfft!"

A sudden snort of laughter sounded at the table.

Everyone looked over.
