True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1885

Kendrix smiled faintly as if he wasn't bothered.

He continued browsing the bookcase and took two books with him. He placed one book away. It was as if he had already picked this book beforehand.

Gary wasn't interested in the books at all. In fact, he found this person who completely ignored him to be quite interesting.

His eyes flickered and a smile appeared on his lips. He seemed to have come up with a plan. "Mr. Trevino, I'd like to propose something else."

Without raising his head, Kendrix simply asked, "What is it?"

"I'll ask my sister here and let you take her to school." Gary smiled faintly. There was a devilish smirk in his smile.

Kendrix was having a neutral expression instead. It seemed like he was already expecting to hear this.

It was slightly killing the vibe to see Kendrix not being anxious.

Gary asked again, "What do you think?"

"Have you really thought it over?" Kendrix asked.

Their conversation somehow sounded like that of two old friends. They didn't sound too awkward with each other.

Gary nodded and said, "I have."

"But then, I might not agree to do this," Kendrix said.

"You'll definitely do it." Gary laughed confidently. "You're a police officer. It's your job to serve justice and protect the public. You should've known this before choosing this career path."

"Who knows, I might not be a decent policeman like you expected to see," Kendrix said.

"Exactly. That's just one of the possibilities." Gary had already seen through him. "You're only acting like this because you know how deeply in love my sister is with you. There is no way for you to return the feelings, hence you wish to stop this as soon as possible."

Kendrix's gaze slightly froze before giving a faint smile.

Gary knew that he was right about this.

"However, you clearly don't know my sister well," Gary continued saying, "She's not someone who will give up that easily just because you give her the cold shoulder or yell at her."

Gary knew Sylvia well enough to know how obsessed she was with some things, like the wiretapping incident.

She would only stop if she was too upset to continue.

If that was the case, why wouldn't he at least try to protect her dignity?

He knew how determined Sylvia could be.

Besides, how could he allow Kendrix to take the lead in this?

The decision-making should still be in Sylvia's hands, instead of Kendrix's.

Kendrix raised his gaze at Gary and noticed the understanding in his eyes.

He nodded and said, "Even if you say so, she might not even listen to you, let alone be willing to leave with me."

"That's why I'm not leaving. I'll follow behind you. She will get mad at me once she sees that I am following her, and by that time, I can just go with the flow and let her leave with you instead. Anyway, you were the one who brought her out, you should be the one to take her back too." Gary looked smug.

Kendrix frowned.

Gary had never seen him frown.

With a smile, Gary asked, "What do you think? It's a good plan, isn't it?"

"It is," Kendrix said, "But I don't quite understand how you can do this as her brother? You aren't even doing this for her."

"What's wrong with that?" Gary retorted, "She isn't an obedient young sister to begin with anyway. I just can't stand seeing you pushing her around. But then, I believe that she wouldn't be able to walk all over you too. I do like you and I want to see you marrying her someday. Why don't we bet on this?"

"I don't do bets," Kendrix said in a low voice.

"I bet you'll marry her someday." Gary wasn't bothered by what he just said. "It does feel strangely exciting to have someone older than me to marry my younger sister."

Kendrix frowned. "I think I made myself clear enough that I don't want that to happen."

"By the way, I'm not the only one in the family," Gary continued saying, "Sebastian is only older than Sylvia by one minute. You are still older than him anyway."

"That is not going to happen," Kendrix said.

"Mr. Trevino, you can never be too sure about the future." Gary chuckled as he gave an even more smug look. It was as if he was certain that Kendrix would definitely marry Sylvia someday. Kendrix was clearly not happy with this.

He looked at Gary speechlessly.

Gary gained the upper hand in this and was in a good mood. He looked at Kendrix with a mischievous expression as he also scanned around the room to look for Celeste and Sylvia.

He sent his location to Celeste on his phone, then put his phone away.

Kendrix swept a glance at Gary. He took the book from the bookcase and was about to walk away.

Gary blocked his path with a smile. "I don't think running away is what the police do. Mr. Trevino, you don't seem like a runner."

Kendrix said faintly, "I'm not running away. I'm just looking for a book elsewhere."

Gary smiled. "That's just an excuse."

Kendrix wasn't angry. He looked at Gary faintly. "Whatever you say."

"You barely skimmed through the first few pages of that book. You clearly aren't even focusing on its content. It does seem to me that my sister has some effect on you." Gary looked even happier at this discovery. "I'm sure you will marry her."

Kendrix felt helpless. "How are you that sure?" "I have a strong feeling that we will be family someday. I approve of you marrying my sister. I'm sure you're the one who can suppress the devil inside of her." Gary sounded confident.

"That doesn't sound like a happy marriage to me," Kendrix retorted.

Gary smiled happily. "Mr. Trevino, it goes both ways, actually. If you're able to suppress the bad side in her, I'm sure she will be able to control some aspects of you too. That's just how a happy marriage works. I wouldn't have to worry much in that case."

Kendrix's eyes flickered a little upon hearing that. He stared at Gary as if trying to read through him.

"Think about it, and keep an eye on my sister. She is going to be your wife. Don't let her go on the wrong path, or else you'll be the one suffering," Gary reminded him with a laugh.
