Chapter 2273
Gasping, Claudia felt that Sebastian had been behaving differently on that day. He was playing the role of a devil's advocate against her totally.
He had constantly been like a rebellious boy, completely out of control.
If she did not speak, it might be a little better. Yet, once she spoke, he would retort instantly.
Not being able to cope with Sebastian, Claudia looked at him helplessly while saying, "Then let me tell you clearly, just go back to your home. Is that okay?"
"No," Sebastian answered with a deep tone.
"What exactly do you want?" Claudia had lost for words. "Can you speak your mind out?"
"I'm going to do whatever I want. It's none of your business." Sebastian swept his eyes over Cordon, who was still waving at him, and said to Claudia, "Who has agreed to take a taxi? Tell that opinionated classmate of yours not to be a busybody."
Claudia found that Sebastian seemed to be very incensed and dissatisfied with the matter.
She gazed in Cordon's direction, engulfing by a helpless feeling.
Perhaps Cordon had sensed that something was wrong. He looked at Claudia, and then at Sebastian.
Sebastian gave him a sharp look and ignored him completely.
Cordon had probably grasped something. He strode over hurriedly, but he did not let the driver go first.
"What's going on? Buddy, do you not want to leave first?" Cordon asked while his eyes landed on Sebastian.
Sebastian darted a flippant glance at Cordon.
Next to them, Claudia seemed to have tensed up as well. She wore a serious expression while staring at Sebastian, as though she was apprehensive that he would suddenly speak words that should not be spoken.
Did she care about Cordon so much? Sebastian pondered on that.
He frowned and glanced at Claudia. By the time he looked back at Cordon again, the emotions in his eyes had become more sullen.
"I can't bring myself to take a taxi." Sebastian replied indifferently, "There is a free ride here, why should I take a taxi?"
Claudia's eyes widened when she heard that.
Was he still the third young master of the Jones family?
He was a young master of the Jones family.
How could he be so stingy when it came to taking a taxi?
Claudia gaped at him in incredulity. Sebastian, on the other hand, did not feel that he had said anything shocking.
On the contrary, he was very calm while taking no notice of their astonishment.
Cordon was also flabbergasted for a short time. Afterward, he smiled and said, "I'll pay the fare for you."
"That's not necessary." Sebastian grinned and said in a still apathetic tone, "I don't want to owe others a favor for no reason."
It confounded Cordon again. He then looked at Claudia.
Feeling impotent, Claudia shrugged her shoulders to gesture that there was nothing she could do.
Sebastian noticed hat they were communicating through just eye contacts and body language without speaking. They could tacitly understand each other.
It made him furrowed his brow again. It seemed that the was an indescribable connection between them.
They should not have come to this point in just a day. From the looks of it, they had known each other since forever.
Were they just classmates?
Squinting, Sebastian observed their eye contacts. There was no trace of alienation between them, and they completely treated him as an outsider.
His eyes fell on Cordon's face again, and a smile hung across his lips, which seemed to have been filled with a sense of coldness.
Seeing that, Cordon was a little surprised. As a policeman, he clearly sensed that the boy, who was standing with Claudia in front of him, held a patent animosity toward him. Also, it was not just a minor animosity.
Feeling embarrassed, Claudia said quickly, "Cordon, don't talk to him anymore. Tell the taxi driver to leave. We also don't need to buy any ingredients. Just go back with me." "Is that so?" Cordon smiled and soon replied, "Buddy, I'm sorry for not taking your opinion into consideration. It's my fault. I'll tell the driver to leave now."
Sebastian had been remaining silent, and it went without saying that he wanted him to send the driver away.
Claudia also nodded.
Cordon turned around swiftly and told the driver to leave..
Claudia and Sebastian exchanged a look. Claudia warned him by saying, "Watch your mouth. This is my classmate. Please show some respect. Don't be so arrogant." "When was I arrogant?" Sebastian asked.
Claudia was stunned for a moment. He was right. He was way too humble that he even shammed poverty. That was not something able to be done by ordinary people.
Sebastian did not regard himself as a rich young master at all. Instead, he considered himself an ordinary person, who could not even afford to take a taxi. What else could anyone say about it?
"Indeed, you aren't arrogant. I didn't say it correctly. Still, you should respect my classmate, right?"
"Why don't you persuade your
classmate rather than me? He came up out of nowhere and intended to send me away without asking my opinion. He's the one trying to
are expecting me to cooperate with him. I'm not mad." "You!" When Claudia heard his unpleasant tone, she knitted his brow and said, "Don't you think you've gone too far?"
embarrass himself here, and ne
"I'm just telling the truth. In case you don't quite understand what is called 'going too far', I can enlighten you by going even further later," Sebastian said again.
"No, stop. It's my fault. I shouldn't have discussed this with you." Claudia lifted her hands and begged for mercy immediately.
There was a pucker between Sebastian's eyebrows. He disliked that kind of feeling.
Claudia wondered what he meant by going even further.
Claudia had been given the pip. Sebastian had already gone too far earlier, yet he wanted to go even further. Wouldn't that be more embarrassing?
Claudia felt that she really did not know Sebastian well. To her, he was throwing a tantrum at the moment.
To be precise, it was a young master's tantrum.
Sure enough, the young masters of wealthy and powerful families did have the right to throw such a tantrum.
She might as well keep a distance from those young masters.
In the future, whenever she saw Sebastian, she would take a detour to stay away from him. In that case, she should be fine.
Making up her mind, Claudia felt a little better.
At that time, Cordon came back. Seeing him come back, Claudia put on a smile immediately.
The smile was sweet and natural.
Of course, it was irritating too, in Sebastian's eyes specifically.
Shooting daggers at her with a strange expression, Sebastian found that her smile was repulsive.
She smiled like a fangirl. Hadn't she seen a man before?
He was utterly displeased, but he had to endure it and not show it.
Meanwhile, Cordon walked up to them and said, "Let's go. Get into my car."
Claudia nodded and ignored Sebastian, following Cordon to his car.
Cordon opened the door to the front passenger seat and let Claudia get into the car first.
"Sit here. Buddy, you can sit at the back." Cordon made arrangements for them. "You've been carrying a lot of things in your hands. Put them on the back seat. The trunk of my car is full There's no more space"
Claudia nodded. "Yes, he'd better sit at the back."
What did she mean by "he'd better sit at the back"?
At that time, Sebastin said, "Wait, I think it's too crowded for me to sit with a bunch of things. Claudia, you're thinner and shorter than me. Why don't you sit at the back? sit at the front passenger seat. It's better for him and I to sit in the front."
With that, he squeezed his way over and blocked the front passenger door without giving Claudia any chance to react.
Since he had remarked so, it seemed inappropriate for others to say anything more.
Cordon opened the rear door and looked at Sebastian, who handed the things directly to him and did not feel obliged to put them in the car by himself at all.
He kept guarding the door to the front passenger seat. From the looks of it, he was afraid that Claudia would sit there.
