True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2241

After sending off Claudia, Sylvia took the small path back home on her own as she looked at the windows. Suddenly, she felt as if there was a figure by Sebastian's window, and she wasn't sure if it was her illusion.

She was shocked, and her eyes lit up in an instant.

Was he hiding and watching Claudia leave? After a brief pause, she chuckled when the thought came to her mind.

If that was the case, it meant Claudia stood a chance with Sebastian and that he wasn't as indifferent as he tried to be.

It must mean something if he was trying to conceal his concern for Claudia.

There must be something that was holding him back.

Sylvia shrugged and headed back inside. When she entered, Heinz and Grace were still downstairs.

"Did you see Claudia off?" Grace asked after seeing her daughter.

Sylvia nodded and said, "She left. Mom, can I go over to her home to celebrate her moving in tomorrow?"

"How long will you be there for? School is starting soon. Will you be able to keep up?" Grace was still a little worried. After all, Sylvia was a high school student, so her studies were more important.

Hearing that, Sylvia laughed. She walked up to Grace, sat down beside her, and said, "Mom, you don't seem confident in my grades, do you?"

Grace also burst into laughter and nodded. "Although it was easy for you to get first place for the first time, I still think that luck might have played a part in it. Your foundation is still not firm enough, and you have to work harder on your basics."

"Don't worry, mom. I know what I'm doing." Sylvia promised, sounding serious.

Heinz frowned and said, "Are you going to celebrate her moving in or are you taking this opportunity to do something else?"

Hearing that, Sylvia blushed, feeling guilty.

She did intend to go over for something else.

Hence her discomfort when Heinz exposed her.

"Dad, what do you mean? I don't quite understand." Sylvia chuckled and played dumb.

Looking at his daughter's face, Heinz could tell that she was feeling guilty.

Forget it.

He couldn't keep her forever as she would grow up and fall in love eventually.

He still sighed as he looked at Grace's belly, hoping that the twins would grow up well and obediently. He had pinned all his hopes on them even though they were not born yet.

"You know it yourself. I don't think I have to nag you on this." Heinz stood up and said to Grace, "Let's go, honey. I'll help you upstairs."

"Dad, why do you sound so pitiful suddenly?"

Such an atmosphere made even Sylvia feel a little uncomfortable.

She quickly helped Grace up, saying, "Mom, I'll help you."

"All right, enough with the flattery. Your mother has me," he said as he looked at her with a stern look that could make one's heart shiver.

"Dad, I'll help you support Mom." Sylvia of course would not back away just because of his words.

Therefore, she did not let go of her mother's hand.

Heinz stared deeply at his daughter again. Although he did not say anything, there was no displeasure in his eyes either.

Seeing that her father's expression seemed to have softened a little, Sylvia finally heaved a sigh of relief.

She knew that he was sharp and perceptive, but she didn't expect him to be that good at seeing through her thoughts.

If he did not decide to be kind to her then, she would have to confess everything.

Well, it was only a possibility as she wouldn't confess just anything.

She was not a coward.

"Sylvia, you can go out tomorrow, but don't come back too late. There's a bottom line to everything you do, so remember that, especially when you're a girl." reminded Heinz in a cold tone. Hearing how cold his tone was, Sylvia immediately nodded.

She said, "Dad, I know. Don't worry. I will protect myself at all times."

She hoped that her promise could make him feel at ease.

Heinz narrowed his eyes and said in a cold and slightly mocking tone, "If you really know what's good for you, you wouldn't have wanted to go to Grace's house to celebrate her moving in when school is reopening. What's more, we just had her over today."

She froze, and her hand that was holding her mother's arm tightened.

Grace looked at her and then looked at him calmly. It was as if she was warning him not to say anymore.

She hoped that he would stop talking and that she could save Sylvia's pride.

Heinz pursed his thin lips.
