True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 2156

"Young man, you're good-looking." William looked at Kendrix with a big smile, thinking Kendrix was indeed good-looking no matter how he saw it.

Kendrix smiled. "Same to you, Mr. Carter."

"Hahaha." William burst out laughing. "You're a smooth talker."

Sylvia was stunned. Kendrix? A smooth talker?

She thought she might need to bring her greatgrandfather to an optician.

Kendrix was the exact opposite of a smooth talker; it was already good enough for him not to piss anyone off.

Kendrix smiled again.

William was not in a hurry to leave anymore; Kendrix piqued his interest. "Young man, since you're free, why don't you take a walk with me?"

Sylvia was dumbfounded when she heard that.

What was her great-grandfather thinking by asking Kendrix on a walk?

Anyhow, Kendrix wouldn't say yes anyway; he must have his things to attend to.

Just as she was about to speak, Kendrix nodded. "Sure."

Everyone was acting beyond her imagination.

This sort of situation would never happen from her understanding.

However, Kendrix actually said yes?!

Sylvia was gobsmacked. Kendrix went beside her and whispered, "Why don't I take over?"

Stumped, she looked up and saw inexpressible emotions surging in his beautiful eyes.

For a moment, Sylvia was at a loss for what to do.

But Kendrix was already reaching his hands toward her.

She could only loosen her arm around William's. With a near-seamless transition, he took over her duty of supporting William.

Kendrix was tall and strong, so it was an effortless task to him.

She was forced to follow them.

William smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Trevino, how long have you been a teacher?"

"Two months," Kendrix answered honestly. "I still have a month before resigning."

"What?" William smiled. "Why just three months?"

"Duty calls," Kendrix answered.

"So you're saying you'll no longer be a teacher after these three months?" William started chatting with Kendrix.

William had no hearing problems, nor was he muddle- headed, so he had no problem conversing.

"That's right."

"Then what do you plan to do after this?" William asked again.

"I'm a policeman." Kendrix said again, "I'll go back to my original unit to continue my work research after this."

"Research, huh?" William blinked. "Sounds very advanced."

"Not exactly." Kendrix said, "It's a common job."

"So you're not exactly Sylvia's teacher then." William stopped after taking a few steps and turned to look at his exceptionally quiet great-granddaughter.

The two young ones naturally stopped when he did.

They followed his pace.

"I'm just a student teacher," Kendrix answered in a deep voice.

William smiled and said, "Three months as a student teacher doesn't make you a real one.

You're so good-looking and rather young; a good match for Sylvia, I must say."

"Great- grandpa." Sylvia's face flushed in an instant.

William looked at her and said, "Why are you blushing? Your great- grandma was already married to me when she was your age."

Utterly mortified, Sylvia didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

How could her great-grandfather be so absurd at such a moment?!

Kendrix was also rendered shocked, unable to process William's words for a moment as his expression stiffened.

It seemed that even he didn't expect William to be so straightforward.

However, Kendrix being Kendrix, he reoriented in no time. The emotions surging in his eyes soon returned to calmness and silence.

He didn't say anything.

William blinked and thought this was getting interesting.

Generally speaking, people would deny immediately facing such a situation.

But the young man in front of him didn't seem to be in a hurry to explain.

Anyhow, William would have a counter reply no matter what Kendrix said.

He had already seen it all, given his old age.

Seeing Kendrix was silent, he said with a smile, "Young man, looks like you have a good impression of my great-granddaughter."

"You sure have a good sense of humor, Mr. Carter," Kendrix replied calmly.

Why was he directing the conversation to her?

Was he answering William's question?

Was he dragging her down by saying it in front of her great-grandfather? Or did he want William to see her determination?"

William turned to Sylvia, all smiles, looking as if waiting for her answer and her stance on the matter.

Sylvia smiled, looking at Kendrix, and retorted, "What do you think, Mr. Trevino?"

Being the smart girl she was, she threw the question back to him so effortlessly.

Taken aback, Kendrix's gaze deepened further, flashing a hint of admiration beneath.

A smart girl indeed; she could have the situation under her control in an instant.

William was also pleased with her reply. He'd like to see what the young man would say.

Kendrix's gaze bore into Sylvia as he said, "I'm sure your great- grandfather has seen it all. I believe in his judgment; if he thinks we're suitable, he's probably right."

Excuse me?

Did he just throw the question back again?

Alas, all a bunch of smart a*ses knowing to find loopholes in others' words.

But Sylvia was already quite happy with Kendrix's answer. At least he didn't refuse her outright, giving an ambiguous reply.

At least he admitted they were well suited.

"I have seen quite a lot in my years, undoubtedly." William answered timely and continued to add fuel to the fire, "But my experience doesn't represent your feelings; I take that your nonrefusal means you do fancy Sylvia."

Kendrix fell silent again.

"Look at you! Silent again. You know, your silence is giving me a headache." William sighed. "Is it that hard for you to admit your feelings for a girl outright?"

Kendrix shrugged. "I am still Sylvia's teacher, Mr. Carter."

"So what?" William retorted solemnly, "You're not her father or brother; I don't see a problem with that. Grow a pair."

William could really put up a fight. Kendrix looked at William, not knowing what to do.

Sylvia wanted to laugh so badly; it was the first time in her life she saw him so defeated.

She couldn't help wanting to laugh every time he was rendered speechless, thanks to her greatgrandfather. Her eyes were long curled into crescents, sparkling, looking a little smug.

Kendrix was slightly taken aback as he happened to catch her looking at him with a smile when he looked over inadvertently.

Sylvia raised her chin proudly, challenging him.

Kendrix paused, his eyes narrowed as he looked at her with a sharp gaze.

However, she stood taller, ignoring it.
