True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2187

Slightly stumped, Sebastian fell into silence, seemingly lost in thoughts.

Standing next to him, Chigo was also surprised by his reaction, fixing his gaze at him, asking, "What? Do you like Kendrix too?"

"No way!" Sebastian looked up and met Chigo's thoughtful eyes. "This isn't funny, Chigo."

"Then you must be into Miss Loris," Chigo said firmly.

Dumbfounded, Sebastian turned his head over to Chigo, his brows locked into a deep furrow, looking evidently objecting to Chigo's assumption. "Chigo, do you think I will fall for a woman who is way older than me?"

"Age is not a problem," Chigo said indifferently with a hint of a smile in his eyes as he looked at Sebastian. "It never has been."

Sebastian pursed his lips. "Chigo, if you really think that, then I don't know what to tell you."

"Then, you don't have to say anything; I can tell." Chigo continued to smile enigmatically.

Sebastian frowned, seemingly hiding something.

Meanwhile, the girls had finished buying their pendants and went ahead.

Suddenly, Claudia's phone rang.

Checking the caller, she smiled. "Ha, I knew it." She thought, "Kendrix definitely can't sit still now that he knows someone is trying to approach Sylvia."

See? He even called.

Claudia answered the phone in two shakes.

"Hello." She deliberately didn't address him, only shot a look at Sylvia.

Clueless, Sylvia only assumed it was a friend.

But then she heard Claudia say, "Ha, I knew you wouldn't just sit back and watch."

Kendrix didn't beat around the bush either, cutting to the chase, "Send me the specific location."

"Are you really coming?" Claudia blinked.

"Just send me the address."

"But we will be leaving in a while." Claudia worried that they'd miss each other and waste his time. The walk from his apartment would take close to half an hour, plus heavy traffic, it would easily pass the half-hour mark.

She had a hunch they would definitely not be around anymore in half an hour.

"I'm at the south gate of the commercial street,"

Kendrix said.

"Oh." Surprised once more, Claudia looked over at Sylvia, who happened to be looking at her as though wondering who was on the other end of the line. "Wow, you're fast. Keep walking inside for about a yard or so."

Right after she said so, Kendrix hung up the phone.

She stared at her phone and mumbled, "Well, excuse you. Must you always be so mysterious?"

"Is someone joining?" Sylvia asked.

She had a hunch it might be Kendrix. After all, he was the only one Claudia contacted just now.

However, she couldn't be sure.

"Take a guess." Claudia kept her guessing, not revealing immediately.

"A friend of yours?" Sylvia guessed.

"That's right, well, sort of." Claudia thought.

If anything, she did get along with Kendrix like friends.

So she wouldn't exactly be lying, no?

"Oh." Not knowing Claudia had twisted the truth, Sylvia felt a little disappointed, thinking she had guessed wrong.

Only then did it strike her that she still hadn't replied to Kendrix's text.

Oh well, she thought that she would explain it to him in a video call later at night.

As the thought ran across her mind, Sylvia raised her head inadvertently and saw a tall man walking toward them from the crowd not too far away.

He was wearing a black coat, looking at her with an apathetic expression.

His well- defined and resolute face was expressionless, striding through the crowd, walking toward Sylvia.

Gawking, she returned to her senses and asked Claudia, "Did you tell Kendrix to come?"

Nodding, she replied, seeing that her cousin was nearing them. "I didn't ask him to come specifically; he came on his own. I just said Chigo might be into you, and here he is. See? You've underestimated how much you mean to him."

Sylvia muttered, "You sure are nosy."

"Sorry?" Claudia didn't hear what Sylvia said, wanting her to repeat, but Kendrix was already standing before them.

His gaze was commanding as he looked at Sylvia, standing with an inexplicably condescending posture.

Feeling self- conscious from his stare, Sylvia

asked, "Mr. Trevino, why are you here?"

There was an irrepressible joy in her tone. She really wanted to see him, and he actually showed up.

Seeing him, she thought of their kiss that night; it was one of burning passion. That man was the total opposite of the currently deadpan and even slightly sullen Kendrix in front of her.

Following that was Kendrix's solemn voice, "You don't want me to come?"

Even if his tone was not that great, Sylvia was still happy to hear his voice. "Of course I do."

In reality, she long wished for him to be here.

Just that she was worried he would nag her, so she didn't say anything.
