True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 2096

Claudia blinked, then laughed at the aggression in Gary's tone.

She was not mad at his somewhat offensive question. On the contrary, she looked like she did not mind it at all. She smiled at Kendrix and asked, "Kendrix, do you want me to answer him truthfully?"

Kendrix replied lightly, "Why should we reveal such a private matter? Are we obligated to tell him?"

She smiled at Gary. "There you go. I think Kendrix is right. I have no obligation to answer your question."

"Is that so?" Gary narrowed his eyes at Kendrix before giving her a strange smile. "Well, I guess he's still a virgin then."

Claudia and Kendrix both stared at Gary, stunned.

Gary's smile grew wider. He looked at Kendrix arrogantly and said, "Kendrix, don't you think you're being very childish?"

Kendrix frowned. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Even though it was dark and the streetlights were not bright, Gary could still see the slight shift in Kendrix's expression.

He concluded that Claudia must not be Kendrix's girlfriend, and there was something suspicious about the whole thing.

Maybe it was just an excuse that Kendrix came up with to refuse Sylvia.

"You can say you don't understand, but I know you know what I mean." Gary was confident.

Kendrix frowned and seemed to be a little impatient.

Gary grinned and continued, "I don't think running away suits you, but you're doing that now. And you even used Miss Loris to help you. Don't you think this is a poor decision on your part? Don't you know that you'll only need more and more lies to cover this up?"

Kendrix said in a low voice, "You think you know everything, don't you? You think you're so good at analyzing others. Well, let me tell you. The truth remains the truth."

"The truth is that the two of you are not a couple at all," Gary retorted.

Claudia smiled when she heard that. She looked at Gary and said calmly, "Mr. Jones, I admire you. You're a great brother for standing up for your sister in such a situation. But don't you think you're a bit too self-righteous? Some things are not what you think they are."

"Is that so? Since you know I'm a target of the news and a great brother, you should also know that I'll make the people who let my sister down pay. No matter who they are," Gary replied firmly.

Claudia shrugged her shoulders and said, "I have to admire how much you care for your sister. You must have a close bond."

"Of course. If I don't support her, would you, an outsider, do so?" Gary retorted.

After a pause, he continued, "Miss Loris, if you're wise, you would know when to stop. You should know that you shouldn't be getting in people's way."

"Getting in the way?" Claudia smiled and said, "I should be the one telling you that. Why are you getting in my and Kendrix's way then? We're a good match and close in age while your sister is a student of his. Can she satisfy Kendrix? Or are you saying you're allowing your underage sister to satisfy Kendrix's needs?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Kendrix frowned, and his lips twitched uncontrollably.

Gary frowned as well.

He glared at Claudia, sizing her up. He was surprised by her courage.

She was bold and straightforward, which was surprising.

Even Gary had to admit he admired her character.

After all, it was rare to see someone so forthright.

He smiled and retorted, "From what you've said, does it mean you two are merely in a physical relationship?"

After hearing that, Claudia paused before saying, "Yes, but so what? At least I'm more suitable for this than your sister, no?"

Her words were incredibly direct.

Gary was momentarily stunned.

Although Ernest and Sebastian were some distance away, they could hear the trio's conversation. And even they were at a loss at what to say.

It seemed that none of them had expected Claudia to be so frank and straightforward.

She was not your average girl who was more reserved.

They were stunned.

Gary did not say anything for a long time.

Seeing that Gary was too shocked to speak, Ernest had no choice but to walk over and say, "Miss Loris, I'm guessing that you haven't even slept with Mr. Trevino, am I right?"

All three of them turned to Ernest at the same time.

As Ernest walked over, Sebastian also stepped out from the shadows. After seeing Kendrix, he greeted him, "Good evening, Mr. Trevino."

Sebastian added, "Mr. Trevino, let's not waste each other's time. After all, time is precious. My sister ranked first this time. If you can't fulfill your promise to her, I would like to make a request on her behalf."

Kendrix frowned. "I didn't say I wouldn't fulfill the promise."

"Well, here are my terms. In the next seven years, you can't get married nor have any other relationship with other women," said Sebastian.

Claudia almost burst into laughter again and choked on her own saliva. "You little lad, you're funny and adorable!"

Sebastian looked at Claudia and said, "I don't think this is a joke. I know I'm younger than you, but please respect me and don't call me lad."

His words were even more shocking that time. Both Gary and Ernest looked at their younger brother in surprise.

Was this their brother?

They had never expected him to be so sharp-tongued.

No one expected Sebastian to be able to stun Claudia with his words. The smile on her face grew, and she was hugging her stomach as she laughed.

Kendrix's brows remained knitted as he looked at Sebastion, looking displeased. "Sebastian, you're still a minor."

"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Trevino," Sebastian said. "You haven't agreed to my proposal just now."

"I never said I would," said Kendrix.

"So, are you saying you're not going to agree to it? Or are you going to tell Sylvia yourself that you'll wait seven years for her?"

Gary nodded his head in satisfaction. It seemed that Sebastian was better at handling it than him.

He was satisfied with the terms that Sebastian gave.

He did not say anything as he watched Sebastian go head-on with Kendrix.

Kendrix's expression darkened as he stared straight at Sebastian. "Are you asking that because you want to know, or is it what your sister wants?"

"Are you concerned about my sister now? Well, I don't mind telling you that she has been crying the whole time. Her eyes are swollen now. She lost all motivation. Who knows? Maybe there'll be one more criminal in this world. Not only did you not save anyone on this trip to Nothern City, but you also caused a young girl to be depressed. I wonder how people would think of you if they saw this on the news," Sebastian said.

"Sebastian, you wouldn't," Kendrix replied in a low voice.

"Mr. Trevino, there's no need to act like an elder in front of me. I have never treated you as an outsider. If you think it's embarrassing to become our brother-in-law, then I have no choice but to judge you for your vanity. Am I right?" said Sebastian.
