True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Their words hit Claudia like a thunderbolt. She was reeling in shock and remaining motionless for a long time.

In the front, Sebastian had been stunned slightly for a moment.

Was Cordon trying to go rough against him?

Sebastian turned his head to throw a glance at Cordon.

Coincidentally, Cordon also turned to look at him without any intention of avoiding him.

Sebastian went straight to the point. "Officer Andrews, I wonder if Claudia is aware that you want to pursue her."

On the surface, what he said was directed at Cordon. In fact, it was meant for Claudia, who sat at the back seat. As a result, both of them were stumped by it. Claudia's expression froze, and there was a kind of unusual embarrassment on her entrancing face.

Just when Claudia was clueless about how to answer it, Cordon replied faintly, "Doubtlessly,

Claudia is unaware of it. This is the first time I've said it!"

"Then you should confess to Claudia, not me." Sebastian looked straight at Cordon. "I'm not Claudia. It's easy to confuse people if you confess to me like this." Claudia thought, "Confuse people? You must have said so on purpose."

Claudia sat behind them restlessly, and her hands had clenched into fists unconsciously. She did not expect that Sebastian would answer in such a facetious way.

Just when Claudia thought that Sebastian was making things difficult for Cordon because he was jealous of Cordon, and because he liked her, he gave such an unexpected answer.

Claudia only felt that it was ironic. After all, she had thought too highly of herself. Sebastian was not into her whatsoever.

Look.

He was just toying with her.

She even thought that he might like her, but it turned out to be the opposite.

At the thought of that, Claudia laughed on her own, and it was marked by loneliness.

It knocked Cordon sideways to see Claudia's expression then through the rear-view mirror, and his eyes narrowed.

When he answered Sebastian's questions again, he could not help making snide remarks.

"Sebastian, why would you think I'm confessing to you? I'm obviously confessing to Claudia. I thought you like her, therefore I said it in front of you. I'm afraid that you will fall in love with her. You don't really like her, do you?" Although Cordon said so with a smile, everyone could discern the the note of aggressiveness in his voice.

Even Claudia could tell that Cordon seemed to be speaking up for her.

"Cordon, are you kidding me?" Claudia had to stop Cordon.

She felt that if she did not interrupt then, everyone would end up in an extremely awkward state.

"There's no way I'll fall in love with an older sister, who is so many years my senior." Sebastian's eyes deepened. By the time he looked at Claudia again, there was a hint of malice and even contempt in his eyes. "It's also very scary to be liked by her."

Claudia was inexplicably intimidated by his gaze.

At the same time, she also knitted her brow. "What kind of expression are you wearing?"

Did he have to stare at her like that even if he didn't like her?

"You've already rejected me. I've long since known it." Claudia gave a smile as well. "However, Little Jones, how many times do I have to repeat it for you to believe me? I don't like you anymore. Why are you still fixated on this? Is it because you're too young that you can't help being childish? You keep fixating on the matter that I said I like you in the past. Does it bother you that much?"

Claudia did not like being censured in such a way. She did not want to say anything more before that because it was unnecessary.

However, as of then, Claudia felt that if she did not pour oil on troubled waters, the affair would probably wind up in an absurd farce.

Sebastian's behavior that day turned out to be very immature in Claudia's eyes.

He behaved like a child, who was throwing a tantrum because he could not get the candy he craved. Such behavior had deviated far from his customary collected self.

It was really abnormal.

It never occurred to Sebastian that Claudia would comment on him like that. Undoubtedly, she enjoyed standing by Cordon's side to go against him.

He came back to reality all of a sudden. Claudia's words was like cold water being poured upon his head. It dampened his love- addled ardor and sobered him up in two shakes. What was he doing? He actually bickered with them.

It did not look like him at all.

Sebastian cracked a grin and calmed down. The aura about him had changed, and he looked composed.

Claudia was startled as she thought that after she said those words, Sebastian would have gone ballistic, but he appeared to be very nonchalant.

It seemed that she still had not known him well.

Forget it.

Originally, there was no connection between the two of them. She was such a fangirl for Sebastian due to his striking features. That was why she was besotted with him.

At present, it was the time for her to wake up.

"Well, in that case, I can be rest assured." Sebastian beamed and said to them, "You two seem to have a strong bond. If you really get together, you will make a very well- matched couple. I'm looking forward to your wedding."

Claudia was shocked and speechless for a long time.

She found it ironic to receive Sebastian's blessing in that way.

What astounded her even more was that Cordon said that he liked her.

To her, based on how tacitly they understood each other, he probably said it deliberately when he saw Sebastian bullying her earlier. With their mutual understanding, Claudia felt that it was normal for Cordon to defend her. That was what Cordon could do at the least as were

classmates.

She would do the same for him if something similar happened on him, hence he should not have meant it.

Thinking of that, Claudia felt relieved. She looked at Sebastian with a smile, "Well, if I really marry Cordon, I will definitely invite you to our wedding."

She was indeed a fickle woman.

Sebastian sneered in his heart. He knew that she was just joking when she said she liked him.

From the looks of it, she had told countless men that she liked them.

"Great," Sebastian answered naturally, and his tone became colder.

With that, he stopped talking.

There was a strange atmosphere inside the car.

For a moment, no one spoke as the three of them fell into silence.

Cordon observed Claudia through the rear-view mirror, wondering if Claudia really meant to date him from what she said earlier.

He was very excited, and he kept observing Claudia through the rear-view mirror.

Claudia did not notice that Cordon was looking at her. She lowered her eyes, and her heart was in a turmoil.

On the other side.

Kendrix had been spending time with Sylvia for too long. After calling Claudia and asking her why she hadn't come back after she had left for so long, the answer Sylvia got was that she actually bumped into her brother, Sebastian.

Furthermore, Sebastian intended to go over and check on them. Feeling that it made no sense, she told Kendrix about it right away.

Kendrix was also a little surprised when he got to know it, but then he laughed. "Perhaps the purpose he wants to be here is Claudia rather than us."

"What?" Sylvia was nonplussed. She had never thought that Sebastian would target Claudia. "Do you mean that he likes Claudia?"

"I'm not sure." Kendrix shook his head.

"Then what should we do now? We can't let him find out that the two of us are in Claudia's place on our own. What if he makes a big deal out of it?" Sylvia said.

"When you talked to Claudia just now, you seemed to have a well-thought-out plan." Kendrix grinned at her. "What is it? Don't you have any ideas?"

Sylvia gave a sheepish smile immediately. "My idea is very simple. It's just about hiding you. You can go out first, and come back when you see them coming up the stairs."

Kendrix shrugged. "Are you afraid that Sebastian will discover that we are alone here? I remember how your three brothers came to me to settle a score with me the last time to stand up for you. They should be happy to see that you are with me."

"I don't know what's going on with Sebastian recently. He's been like a woman in her menopause, always flies off the handle for no reason Sylvia opined. "That's why I'm a little worried about myself. Perhaps I've offended him. What if he goes out and spread rumors about us?"

"There's nothing between us to be rumored about." Kendrix was somehow calm. "There's no need to hide it from your family. I think the consequences will be more serious if we keep it from them. We'd better be frank." "Do you mean that we've to let our relationship go public?"
