True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 2262

While waiting for the cake to be ready, Claudia felt that she had to find a way to inform Kendrix and Sylvia about what was happening. She could not just sit back and wait.

She briefly glanced over at Sebastian. It was obvious that he wanted to go with her to see if Sylvia had been taken advantage of.

Sebastian seemed like a good brother who was very protective of Sylvia, which was really unexpected.

Claudia wasn't ignorant. She had to make sense of everything. She could not give Sebastian a chance to call her bluff. She had to ensure that Sylvia and Kendrix would not be caught either.

She felt that she was acting as an undercover at the moment.

Perhaps in the future, she could be an undercover in the police force.

Claudia was trying to cheer herself up as she thought of that.

However, how could she inform Sylvia and Kendrix without Sebastian finding out?

Claudia took out her cell phone while waiting for the cake. She was ready to ignore Sebastian. The most important thing was to text Sylvia and Kendrix.

Unexpectedly, just as she took out her cell phone, and before she even opened her WhatsApp, she heard Sebastian said, "What? Are you going to send them a text to give them a head's up?"

Claudia's heart skipped a beat. She instantly felt guilty.

How could he guess what she was planning on doing?

He was very smart indeed.

Claudia narrowed her eyes and glanced at Sebastian who was sitting opposite of her. He was not far from her, and he was staring at her with a pair of gloomy eyes.

Judging by her expression, Sebastian was sure that she was planning on sending them a text.

That was right. She wanted to give them a head's up.

Unfortunately, she had been exposed.

Naturally, Claudia would not admit it.

She held her cell phone, looked down, and smiled. "Sebastian, is it wrong for me to check my WhatsApp messages? You're very funny for saying that I'm trying to give them a heads up. Who do you think I am?"

"You, yourself, should be clear of your own intentions, shouldn't you? I don't have to say anything about how I view you." Sebastian stared at her with a poker face.

"Oh." Claudia shrugged. "Well, if that's the case, since you're so sure of it, then yes, I was planning on texting Sylvia. There's no point in denying it anyway."

"Put away your phone." Sebastian ordered in a deep voice.

Claudia frowned. His commanding tone made her very uncomfortable.

Her stubbornness started to show too.

"Why should I listen to you?" Claudia chuckled. "Who do you think you are? I don't take orders from you."

"Now I'm starting to wonder what kind of people my sister surrounds herself with. I'm afraid I need to look into it. You're obviously not an honest person. I'm worried that you'll lead my sister astray," Sebastian said unhurriedly.

Claudia took a deep breath and said, "Hey, don't go too far! I think you're the one who has a problem. I'm sure your sister has the ability to distinguish right from wrong. How dare you insult me? You can't blame me for not wanting to take you back to my place."

"You're just mad that I called you out, right?" Sebastian sneered. He looked at Claudia as if he had seen through her tricks long ago.

It was the kind of gaze that made one feel as if there was nowhere to hide. Claudia became even more annoyed.

Claudia took a deep breath and tried to compose herself. She was trying hard not to get mad, as it would only be a punishment on herself, while it was others who were at fault. She still kept her composure, remembering her manners.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"Sebastian, I think I have the right to decide whether I should take you home. I can reject you. Also, after you maliciously slandered me, I doubt we can even be friends. If it weren't because you are Sylvia's brother, I probably would have slapped you across the face already." Claudia looked into his eyes and said coldly, "I am human. I have a temper. The more others want to go against me, the more I will not let them have their way."

She said it casually, but her determination was unquestionable.

Sebastian of course could tell by her tone.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Claudia. The corners of his lips curled up in a mocking expression. "What a coincidence. Looks like we are the same kind. The more others want to hide something from me, the more I curious I get."

Claudia was stunned. She was almost choking on her rage. Was he determined in going against her?

She was speechless.

Could he stop being so annoying?

After a pause, Claudia calmed down a little. She looked at Sebastian and said, "You know what? Do whatever you want."

Anyway, she had made up her mind. She was planning on staying in the dessert shop for as long as she could.

As long as she did not go home, Sebastian would not be able to find out where she lived.

Naturally, he would not find out that Sylvia and Kendrix were alone in her apartment.

Since she could not text them, that was the only other solution she could think of.

She knew that if Kendrix realized that she had been gone for a long time, he would definitely know that something was off, and would call her.

At that time, she wondered whether Sebastian would still be able to stop her from answering her phone.

Having made up her mind, Claudia was no longer in a hurry. A faint smile appeared on her lips.

She even raised her face and looked at Sebastian with a smile.

Sebastian did not expect Claudia to have such a reaction. He could tell that she was unwilling to go back. At that moment, he was sure that Kendrix was in her apartment. She just wanted to create a chance for Sylvia and Kendrix to be alone.

"Miss Loris, do you know that if you keep worrying, it will make your hair go grey at a young age?" Sebastian said sarcastically.

"That's something for my future husband to worry about, not you." Claudia smiled and said, "I'm afraid that I will misinterpret your intentions if you show your concern for me."

"Hmph!" Sebastian sneered. "Misinterpret?"

"Yup! I'm not your girlfriend. Why are you so afraid of me getting old? Could it be that you really are interested in me?" Claudia deliberately disgusted Sebastian because she wanted him to know that she was not someone to be trifled with.

Since she couldn't drive him away, then she would try her best to disgust him.

Sure enough, her words were lethal enough. As soon as she said it, Sebastian's face became gloomy.

Claudia was satisfied and smiled

even more smugly. She continued to

add fuel to the fire and said,

"Sebastian, I think you've fallen imet

love with me. Otherwise, you with

wouldn't have pestered me like this

and even use your sister as an excuse to get close to me

Sebastian interrupted her coldly, "You're very self-righteous. I'm not interested in you. Who do you think you are? Why would I fall in love with an old woman like you, who falls so easily for just anyone?"

What he said was really infuriating.

Claudia had long been mentally prepared. She knew that Sebastian would not play nice, so she did not take it to heart.

She just did not understand why he was so stubborn that day. He just wouldn't leave.

She had said whatever she needed to say, but he still went against her. No matter how hard she tried, she could not get rid of him.

She felt extremely guilty.

That was because she was indeed trying to set up Kendrix and Sylvia. She was giving them an opportunity to spend some time alone together.

Butthen again.

If she did not offer to walk all the way there to buy dessert so to create an opportunity for them, she would not have bumped into Sebastian. She was very unlucky, and that obviously couldn't be helped.

Claudia pursed her lips and said with a smile, "I really don't have the ability to make you fall in love with me, but I really don't understand why you are pestering me like this."

"What are you talking about?" Sebastian's face darkened. His tone grew even colder. "Claudia, I'm warning you. Stop playing tricks."

"What tricks? Why don't you get straight to the point?" Claudia retorted coldly.

"I know Kendrix is in your apartment," Sebastian said in a low voice, "You left my sister alone with Kendrix there."

Claudia's eyebrows twitched. Of

course, she would not admit it.

"You're being ridiculous! What's wrong with you? How can you say that about your sister? Kendrix. might not mind that you insult him,

Qu

but your sister is a pure and,

innocent girl. How can you slander

your sister like that? Sometimes I wonder whether you're actually her brother."

"Claudia!" Sebastian said in a deep voice, "Quit acting!"

Claudia knew she was might be exposed at any moment.

She could only chuckle to hide her guilt.

"Why don't you take me to your place now? You're not allowed to answer your phone if anyone calls meanwhile. I'd like to see what other tricks you

have up your sleeves."

The moment he finished speaking, Sebastian reached out and grabbed Claudia's wrist.
