True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 2160

Stumped, Sylvia looked over at Kendrix at that.

He said nothing but only took a gander at her. It was a yes since he didn't turn it down.

She nodded and said, "Okay."

With that, they walked to the door, and she asked him, "Mr. Trevino, how come you're in this area? Do you have relatives living here?"

He nodded.

"I see. I wonder who." She was trying to ease the mood between them by finding something to talk about.

"They live quite some distance from here," he answered.

He didn't say which of his relatives was staying in the area. She felt frustrated not being able to find out more about him.

The two only walked a few feet before Kendrix stopped and turned around to look at Sylvia.

Since she was looking at her feet while she walked, she almost bumped into him.

Luckily, she stopped in the nick of time.

She looked up, only to find him looking down at her.

The massive difference in their height overwhelmed her.

His presence was commanding.

For a moment, she forgot how to speak.

Kendrix looked at her in silence, boring holes into her body as if he wanted to see through her.

Sylvia was stunned.

The awkward atmosphere lasted for quite some time.

Just when Sylvia was about to say something, Kendrix spoke, "Since you have a rendezvous later, I won't take up more of your time. Goodbye."

Her face turned pale at the thought of Chigo coming to see her. But she didn't agree to hang out with him at all.

So why did Kendrix say it in such a cold tone?

But on second thought, that tone meant he minded Chigo's visit, didn't it?

Delight filled her pale face, and she smiled at the man in front of her. "But do you think I should show up?"

Kendrix didn't answer but only fixed his gaze at her, emotions surging beneath his eyes.

Sylvia knew he wouldn't say anything, so she no longer waited for his response and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Trevino. Thank you for today."

He couldn't believe it; this girl was driving him away! He frowned, and his face turned grim.

She felt the change in his mood.

She smiled but said nothing.

Seeing her smile, he blinked and said, "Don't go."

What?!

Sylvia was stunned. She didn't expect Kendrix to speak his mind.

Smiling, she retorted, "Why not?"

"Because I'm your teacher, and you're still a student. You should do as I say." He said in an aloof manner, like a teacher telling off his student.

Feeling joyous inside, she thought she liked this side of him.

His dominance right then exuded possessiveness toward her.

Yes, that was it.

She believed she was right in thinking so.

However, she wanted to learn more of his thoughts, so she couldn't help probing, "But won't it be rude if I don't show up?"

The glimmer in his eyes dissipated as he replied, "You don't want to go either, don't you? Or you wouldn't ask for my opinion."

He saw right through her.

Taken aback, Sylvia's face flushed slightly.

She was well aware Kendrix was on a completely different level than her. He could see through her without difficulty while she was merely teaching a fish how to swim.

She lowered her head and mumbled, "You're right, I don't want to go, but I want to know if you want me to."

"Is there a difference?" he asked.

Seeing him, William smiled. "Chigo, you sure are early, and here I thought you would arrive much later."

Chigo smiled and said, "Well, I think I'm quite late already, Mr. Carter."

With that, he looked over at Sylvia with a cryptic gaze.

She had been sitting silently on the sofa absentmindedly since returning as if her soul had been taken away. She didn't even bat an eye at Chigo.

It didn't matter to her what he said; she didn't pay attention at all.

William looked at Chigo, smiling at him. "Chigo, I think quite highly of you, you know?"

Anyhow, William thought having options was all that bad.

However, he could tell from her face that Kendrix was the reason she was so absent-minded.

She looked as if her life was bleak the moment she stepped into the house.

William sighed, thinking she was still too young after all and didn't know how to take ownership of the situation. It was likely Kendrix would be the one having all the say in their relationship.

"Thank you for your encouragement, Mr. Carter" Chigo smiled. "I'll try my best."

The two of them were being vague, but they understood each other's underlying words.

Sylvia remained silent and even scrolled her phone mindlessly.

"Sylvia, put your phone down; Chigo's here," William said.

Only then did Sylvia look up at her greatgrandfather before drifting her gaze to Chigo, smiling. "Are you here to see me for something, Chigo?"

"Can't I come to see you for no reason?" Chigo smiled and asked her.

"Well. We're only a few years apart, but I feel like there is a communication gap between us. You're a fresh graduate now, aren't you? But I'm still a high schooler," she said jokingly.

"I'm still a student too," Chigo brought the fact up rather naturally, "We're both students, so why would there be a communication gap? I may have graduated from college, but I'm doing my master's; I have yet started working either. All in all, I'm a student just like you."

Sylvia got the underlying message.

Awkward, Sylvia answered, "I am still a minor, Chigo."

"I know. That's why I've been waiting for you to come of age." Chigo smiled, looking at her with a passionate gaze. "I've been waiting for years. And look, you only have a couple of years left, no?"
