True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2234

Everyone was stunned upon hearing that.

Grace was dumbfounded for a moment, but she quickly recovered. She put on a gentle smile while nodding in agreement.

She had not expected Heinz to say such a thing. It was too embarrassing for Sebastian.

Shocked by Heinz's words, Sebastian stared blankly at his father.

His handsome face stiffened and his mouth was slightly agape. For a long while, he forgot to react.

Sylvia was also dumbfounded, but then she laughed inwardly.

Heinz's words also caught Claudia by surprise, and she was left a little flabbergasted.

She bit her lip, feeling somewhat touched.

For Heinz to say something like that showed that he was really trying to save her face.

It was obvious that he was trying to give her a way out. However, Claudia wondered if he had gone too far and hurt Sebastian's pride just like that?

When Claudia thought about what she had said earlier, she felt that she too had gone a little overboard.

She thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Jones, thank you for helping me cover my embarrassment. I know that I'm too stubborn. It doesn't matter what I'm called. Uncle Jones and Aunt Smith are not even making an issue about it, yet I'm the one making a fuss over it."

"How can you say that you're making a fuss?" Heinz smiled and looked at Grace calmly. His gaze seemed to say that he was quite satisfied with Claudia's reaction.

Naturally, Grace understood the meaning of the look he gave her, and she nodded slightly.

Heinz continued, "It's obvious that it's Sebastian who's too narrow- minded. Listen carefully. You shouldn't call Miss Loris 'Madam' in the future anymore, but just 'Claudia' instead, okay?"

"It's better for me to just call her Miss Loris," Sebastian replied. His tone seemed calm and steady, but when one listened carefully, one could discern a tinge of disapproval in his tone.

Claudia pursed her lips. Seeing that Sebastian was still being so dismissive, she could not help feeling uncomfortable.

"Sebastian, didn't you hear what I said?" Heinz asked in a stern tone.

Claudia also heard it. Heinz was a little angry.

Sebastian became a little furious as well. He ignored Heinz's wishes and kept his head lowered without saying a word.

The situation made Claudia feel even more awkward.

She felt that she was the one who started the whole thing, and she should be the one to clean up the mess she made.

She quickly said, "Uncle Jones, it's good enough that Young Master Sebastian is willing to call me that. I'm friends with Sylvia, and I wouldn't have much to do with him. Well just greet each other casually when we meet each other. We're not even considered friends. Let's not make an issue about the matter of salutations."

Heinz looked at Claudia with surprise in his eyes. He did not expect that answer from her.

He had noticed that she was restraining an aggrieved look in her expression, but now, she remained calm.

He could not help admiring how she handled temporary setbacks at such a young age.

Looking a little calmer, Heinz praised Claudia sincerely. "Claudia, I'm sorry. It's our fault for not teaching our son well. That's why he behaved so rudely."

Claudia felt that Heinz's remark seemed somewhat harsh.

Her face turned pale, and she looked at Sebastian immediately.

Sebastian also looked up at Claudia. His eyes were particularly cold. He merely looked at her coldly as if he was trying to say, "Look, are you happy now? Look at what you did."

Embarrassed, Claudia hit her lips and said fearfully, "Uncle Jones, that's a little too harsh. You and Aunt Smith are both very nice. It was I who was being unreasonable. Young Master Sebastian is actually very well-mannered. He's probably just hesitant about the fact that Kendrix is my cousin. Since my cousin is his teacher, then according to seniority, I am indeed considered an elder. But according to our age, I'm too young to be considered that.

"In short, it's all my fault. Don't scold him for that."

"Miss Loris, you don't have to speak up for me," Sebastian said curtly. "I am indeed so stubborn because of Mr. Trevino."
