True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2233

Sebastian's body stiffened and his brows furrowed, yet he replied calmly, "No problem."

He returned to his seat and sat down. When he lifted his eyes and looked at Claudia again, he realized that she was holding the drink that he gave her and staring at it blankly. She seemed to be thinking about something.

Heinz, who was sitting on the other side, also looked at them. He did not speak, but his gaze was distant and deep.

Grace and Sylvia also looked toward Claudia and Sebastian.

Sylvia could not help but worry for Claudia when she saw Claudia looking so pale.

After Sebastian gave her the drink and addressed her as "Madam Loris", the color had drained from Claudia's face immediately.

She also thought that Sebastian was being too cruel. Even if he did not like her, he did not have to address her in such a sarcastic manner.

Why did Sebastian do it? Sylvia wondered.

By addressing her as "Madam Loris", he was clearly drawing a line between them.

It was too insulting for Claudia.

Sylvia could not help but glare at her brother.

Sebastian looked back at her with indifference. Then, he lowered his head and no longer looked at anyone.

Grace was also worried when she saw the situation.

In reality, under normal circumstances, it was not wrong for Sebastian to call Claudia "Madam Loris" since she was Mr. Trevino's cousin.

However, the problem was that Claudia had addressed Heinz and Grace as her elders, thus positioning herself on the same generational step as Sylvia and paving a way for Kendrix.

In the future, if Kendrix and Sylvia's relationship ended up well, then they would not have to change the way of addressing each other.

In fact, regardless of the age difference between Kendrix and Sylvia, it was reasonable for Claudia to address Heinz and Grace as her elders.

The only thing that was unreasonable and jarring was that Sebastian actually addressed her as if she was an elder to him.

A little annoyed, Sylvia wanted to stand up for Claudia. "Sebastian, Claudia already addressed our mother as 'Aunt', so how can you call her 'Madam Loris'? Isn't that a little inappropriate? We've talked about this before, so why are you still acting like this?"

"Miss Loris doesn't have any objections, so why should you?" Sebastian asked indifferently.

"It's because I feel that it's unfair for Claudia. Don't you think you've gone too far?" Sylvia replied in a low voice.

"How so?" Sebastian asked coldly. As if that was not enough, he even looked at Claudia and asked indifferently, "Madam Loris, do you think it's too much for me to call you 'Madam Loris'?"

Claudia looked up at Sebastian. She knew that Sebastian was deliberately behaving like that.

"Don't you think you're going a little too far?" Claudia smiled and said calmly, the bright light shining down on her face and deep eyes. "I think Sylvia is right. I've addressed Uncle Jones and Aunt Smith as my elders, yet you still insist on making me seem like an elder to you. It's a little... Hmm... How should I put it?"

Claudia frowned and seemed to be thinking hard, wondering how to word it.

Sebastian's gaze became sharp as he glanced at Claudia. He was about to speak when Claudia looked at him.

As their eyes met, Sebastian was a little taken aback by Claudia's sharp gaze. He immediately forgot what he wanted to say.

Claudia smiled faintly. "I don't know if you're protesting the fact that I'm treating your parents as my elders. Or could it be that you're not confident enough in yourself? You feel that you're too young and that's why you're insecure about it. So, perhaps you need to regard me as your elder to support that mindset of yours. Is that it?"

Sebastian's chest tightened, and he cursed inwardly. How dare Claudia mock Sebastian like that? Sebastian fumed.

She was truly gutsy!
