True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2219

When she heard him say that, Sylvia knew that he was right. With the way her mother was acting, it would be stupid for Kendrix to not do the right thing.

He was only doing this because he knew that this was expected of him.

Sylvia could not protest at all. On the contrary, she thought that he was right. Even if she was reluctant to part with him, she should still follow Kendrix's advice.

She hesitated for a while before looking at Kendrix and finally nodding.

Kendrix knew that Sylvia was feeling reluctant from the way she was pouting. She looked so cute even when she was unhappy. He chuckled and cupped her face in an effort to comfort her, "Okay then. Cheer up."

"I can't find it in myself to be happy," Sylvia spoke the truth, "However, even so, I have to admit that you are right."

Kendrix felt gratified. In the end, Sylvia was a sensible child. She could understand his difficulties, and he was touched by it.

He held her in his arms, sighed, and made a little compromise, "One o'clock. I will take you back at one."

Sylvia was stunned. It was half past ten, which meant that she could still stay for a few more hours.

She cheered up at once and wrapped her hands around Kendrix's waist. Then, she buried her face in his chest and took a deep breath.

It seemed that he was reluctant to part with her as well.

Sylvia nodded fiercely and said, "Okay, great. One o'clock will do. You are the best."

Kendrix smiled too, "Come on, let's go eat."

"Okay."

Sylvia was hungry.

After all, she did not have any breakfast since he laid down with Kendrix after she arrived. She didn't even get a bite of anything.

Her stomach was growling. She had not been that hungry before. However, after Kendrix mentioned food, her stomach growled even more.

"Your stomach is growling too," Kendrix teased. Sylvia was really such a lovely little girl.

Sylvia's face turned red.

He actually heard her. He had great hearing.

Sylvia looked up from Kendrix's embrace. Her face was red and she muttered coquettishly, "I can't believe you heard that."

Kendrix nodded. He put on a playful smile and said, "We are not too far from each other. Besides, you're in my embrace now. Of course I can hear you."

When he smiled, his eyes looked as though they could contain a sky full of stars. When Sylvia saw that, it made her heart tremble.

She was finished.

This man had captivated her soul as well.

"Don't you feel hungry?" If Sylvia's guess was correct, Kendrix probably didn't have a bite ever since the brief supper they had the night before.

Why was his stomach not growling? They were so close to each other, so logically, she should be able to hear it.

Upon hearing that, Kendrix smiled faintly, his expression looking even more radiant.

"I am old. I am not a young person like you who needs to be nourished all the time. My metabolism is not that great either."

"Nonsense," Sylvia shook her head, "You are not old."

He was 23 years old and was living in one of the best ages of their lives. How could he say that he was old?
