The situation took Claudia by surprise as it was beyond her expectations.
She hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Okay. I'll go in."
After that, she strode in.
Sebastian was still standing at the door. He did not move away when she entered through the door, and because of that, their shoulders brushed.
He frowned as she said, "I'm sorry for bumping into you. I am just too large for this narrow door."
There was something more to her words as if there was an ocean of emotions, and they were all resentment for him.
His eyes flickered, and he turned to look at her.
Claudia walked in, placed all the food on Sebastian's table, and then looked at his room.
It had been some time since she entered his room, and it was still the same as the last time. There was no big changes.
She knew very well that she couldn't stay for too long.
It was because she could clearly feel the vigilance from him.
It was as if she was some molester that would attack him, so he was on guard.
She found it funny as she turned to look at him, wondering why she would fall so hard for a kid like him.
Wasn't he just a child?
Claudia looked at Sebastian and met his wary gaze. She smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. I can understand if you were too embarrassed to eat. I don't think you have to feel that way as I will not come here often anyway. I hope you can act naturally with me, or they will assume there is something between us."
"Why did you come to our house?" he asked impatiently.
"Do you think I came here for you?" She could not help but to ask.
He narrowed his eyes, and it was clear that was what he assumed about her.
She just found it funny and couldn't hold back her laughter. "You misunderstood. I came to your house for your sister, not you. Your sister may become my cousin-in-law, right?"
He frowned again. It was obvious that he did not believe it.
Who knew what was going in that weird brain of hers?
Anyway, he didn't believe that she was only there for Sylvia.
Naturally, Claudia could tell that Sebastian did not believe what she had said.
He was such a doubtful young man with a complex mind, she thought to herself.
Perhaps it was because she had left a terrible impression on him that he would be suspicious of whatever she said.
Claudia pursed her lips and said as if she was mocking herself, "It seems that you don't believe me."
"It's indeed hard for others to believe you," Sebastian answered frankly.
She pursed her lips and said, "Well, I'll apologize for my past action that inconvenienced you. Sorry, Little Jones. I shouldn't have bothered you. It indeed wasn't right of me to do that."
However, the frown on his face remained as he didn't know what to say in that moment.
He was thinking about what she meant.
Was she playing hard to get?
It looked to him that she was unwilling to give up. But then again, he wasn't so sure.
What was she thinking? The more he thought of it, the more confused he was.
"Don't you think you're a little paranoid, Little Jones? You should learn to trust a little and be a little happy go lucky. There's no use in overthinking. Just focus on your studies. I won't interrupt you eating your meals. I'll go down first. Goodbye."
After saying that, she simply left without lingering.
She even closed the door for him as she walked out. She just left just like that, without any reluctance or any greed shown.
How fast she had changed.
