True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 2271

It never occurred to Claudia that she had to seek Sebastian's permission to answer her own phone call. It was so ironic.

She nursed a grievance against Sebastian for keeping her on a short leash. If that was spread out, wouldn't her great reputation be sullied?

Was that still that fearless policewoman, Claudia?

D*mn it.

Claudia glanced at him resentfully before she answered the call. That was what she needed to do then.

Actually, Sylvia's call came just in time, and she was thankful for that. Otherwise, even if she managed to keep them informed in advance, it would be useless.

As soon as she picked up the call, she heard Sylvia asking, "Claudia, why are you taking so long?"

"Sylvia, you've waited me for a long time, huh? Tell the others that I've bumped into your brother, Sebastian, and he insists on coming back with me to celebrate me moving in to my new home. I couldn't turn him down." "What?" Sylvia got keyed up in an instant, and her pitch rose unconsciously. "Have you bumped into Sebastian? Why would he want to come to your place? Yesterday, I asked him to come, but he rejected it. Why did he change his mind today?"

"Who knows what’s the matter with him? He keeps badgering me into letting him come back with me. Don't you think he's ridiculous?" As Claudia spoke, she shot an aggrieved look at Sebastian. She did not feel that her words were making him feel embarrassed at all.

Did she say that there was something wrong with him?

Sebastian was at a loss for words.

He wondered if she could be any less frustrating.

He snorted lightly and could not care less about Claudia's comments on him. He was not afraid of being misunderstood by his sister either. Anyway, he would go to Claudia's place. Since that was the case, he was not scared of what others would say.

"Don't tell me that he's coming here for me." As sharp- witted as Sylvia was, she sensed that something was amiss instantly.

Claudia felt the urge to give her a thumbs-up. She shot a glance at Sebastian and met his deep gaze.

After that, she cracked a smile and replied, "That's right. I also think so."

"All right, I know what to do," Sylvia said, "Let him come."

"Are you sure?" Claudia asked.

"Yes, very sure." As Sylvia spoke, she gave a cunning grin.

Even though Claudia did not see the expression on Sylvia's face, she felt that she must be up to something when hearing her snicker.

Claudia said, "Okay, I'll walk back on foot with your brother. Don't be too anxious."

"How long will it take for you to come back?" Sylvia asked again.

"Well, it will take at least half an hour." Claudia answered, "It won't take less than half an hour."

"I got it." There was no sign of tension in Sylvia's tone, hence Claudia felt more relaxed too.

After hanging up, Claudia gazed at Sebastian.

"Little Jones, let's go."

"I've told you so many times. Don't call me that way."

"I can't change it," Claudia said, "I don't know what has been concerning you. In my opinion, this is the most polite address. Are you bothered by others calling you little brother, or by others underestimating the size of your rod?"

She was so straightforward, making him wondered if that was something a woman should say.

Sebastian had an impulse to break open her skull to see if her brain structure was the same as everyone else's. Why was her mindset so peculiar?

He took a deep breath and said, "Both of them, of course."

"Uh!" Claudia was shocked. "You actually admitted it. It's uncharacteristic of you, Little Jones."

"Since I've admitted it, is it appropriate for you to continue calling me by that?"

"Yes, it's appropriate." Claudia began guffawing. "I don't think there's anything inappropriate about it. Little Jones is a lovely and cute address. Moreover, it'll always remind you that you hate me very much. Isn't it quite in line with your feelings for me?"

"Who said I hate you?" Sebastian could not help but to retort.

"What?" Claudia blinked and looked him, inquiring in disbelief, "Don't you hate me?"

"When did I say that I hate you?" Sebastian knitted his brow again, thinking that he had never said such a thing before.

She really had an aberrant mindset.

"Then, the more I don't understand. Little Jones, since you don't hate me, why do you often treat me so unfriendly?" Claudia was puzzled, but when she heard him say he did not hate her, her heart started to flutter like a little girl.

She also let out a sigh in amazement, detecting a tide of passion rising in her.

At the moment, she had a feeling of a love-struck girl.

Being questioned, a pucker appeared between Sebastian's eyebrows again.

How the hell did she come up with so many questions?

As a matter of fact, he did not know the reason behind it.

"Look at you. You seem to be hating me so much now. It leaves me helpless every time you put on such a face, as if I owe you something. I don't know how I offended you. I just confessed to you. It isn't my fault to like you either. Why are you so furious?"

Hearing that she liked him, his eyes darkened as they landed on her. He wanted to see some emotions from her eyes, such as sincerity.
