True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1893

"I don't think so." Gary smiled as he looked at Sebastian. "Sebastian, I believe Sylvia might really rank first if she works hard enough."

"Perhaps in the next semester." Sebastian smiled with confidence. "We will be having our finals in less than two weeks for this semester. I doubt she can score better than me."

Heinz said, "Don't go easy on her. Also, keep an eye on her."

Sebastian was startled. "Why should I keep an eye on her?"

"That's because Dad is suspecting that Sylvia is falling in love too early," Gary interrupted and answered.

Heinz frowned and glanced at Gary, as if he didn't like Gary revealing that much.

Sebastian blinked his eyes. "Are you suspecting that Sylvia is falling in love too soon? With who?"

"What do you think?" Gary ignored Heinz's gaze and continued to ask.

Sebastian thought for a moment before saying, "I don't think she will be interested in any of our classmates. She's mature at her age and has high standards. I doubt she will be interested in someone our age." Gary gave Heinz a look. "It seems like Sebastian really knows Sylvia well."

Heinz frowned and looked at Sebastian again.

Sebastian looked at him with a calm expression. "Dad, just tell me what's on your mind."

Heinz frowned again, as if he was hesitating.

"Just say it already," Gary said, "Sebastian, dad thinks that Sylvia is in love with Mr. Trevino."

Heinz glared at Gary again for saying too much.

Gary sneered. "What's wrong? Stop the act when we're already at this point. Why can't you be a little honest since you have already started the conversation?"

Heinz had no choice but to say, "Fine. It's like what your brother said. Is there anything strange going on between Sylvia and Kendrix?"

"I don't know. I didn't pay much attention to them," Sebastian said directly.

Heinz was startled. He then said to Sebastian, "All right. You should probably go get some rest now."

"Good night, dad. Good night, Gary." Sebastian was about to walk out.

Gary smiled and took a step forward. Putting his arm around Sebastian's shoulders, he said, "Dad, I'll walk Sebastian to his room." Heinz just acknowledged him and didn't say anything else.

"Gary, I'm not a child, I can go back on my own." Sebastian laughed after they walked out of the study. "You don't have to do this." "Just let me walk you." Gary laughed as he led Sebastian to his room.

After walking into Sebastian's room, Gary said, "Great job, Sebastian."

Sebastian played dumb. "What? Gary, I don't quite get it."

"Are you still trying to play dumb in front of me?" Gary raised a brow and stared at him with a sharp gaze.

Sebastian could no longer hide himself under that gaze.

Sebastian paused and smiled. "Gary, I really don't get what you're implying. Why don't you just tell me?"

"Sure, I'll tell you," Gary said in a deep voice, "You know there's something going on between Sylvia and Kendrix, yet you lied to Dad."

Upon hearing that, Sebastian let out an awkward laugh as he looked at Gary, but he wasn't feeling awkward at all deep down.

He looked calm as he said, "You're sneaky."

"Sebastian, you're the sneaky one." Gary looked at him. Sebastian indeed looked like an honest and innocent kid, and not everyone was able to tell lies so blatantly.

He was impressed at how Sebastian managed to keep a cool face even when he lied.

Gary could not help but to imagine that Sebastian might grow up to be someone remarkable one day. He felt that he needed to look at him more seriously then.

Sebastian smiled. "I really don't know anything between Sylvia and Mr. Trevino. I'm not in her class after all, but I do know Sylvia admires Mr. Trevino. That's obvious, and I've mentioned it before." "There is a story behind her wanting to get first place, am I right?" Gary continued to ask.

Sebastian shook his head. "I don't know."

"Sebastian, don't you forget that Sylvia is the biggest troublemaker among us. You, Ernest, and I are all her victims," Gary persuaded to have Sebastian join his side.

Sebastian was however being very cautious. "I know that, but what are you trying to say?"

"Tell me everything you know," Gary ordered in a deep tone, "I ran into Kendrix and Sylvia at the book store this afternoon."

Sebastian was surprised as he didn't expect that to happen.

He asked, "Did you talk to him?"

"Yes, he is remarkable," Gary said.

Sebastian nodded. "Mr. Trevino is someone who can restrain Sylvia."

"Are you okay to have him as our brother-in-law? Would you like that?" Gary asked again.

Sebastian was actually dumbfounded that time as Gary asked the question.

Sebastian then regained his composure and laughed. "Gary, aren't you thinking too far ahead? Why would you even think of that? Mr. Trevino to be our brother-in-law?"

"Don't tell me you can't see that Sylvia is falling for Kendrix." Gary stared at Sebastian and said directly, "Stop trying to fool me around. It won't work on me."

Sebastian immediately put on a solemn expression. "Since we're at this point, I'll just be honest with you. I do think that Sylvia is indeed falling for Mr. Trevino too." "Right? I knew it." Gary smirked. "The way she looks at him and how her eyes would sparkle just give it off."

Sebastian nodded. "You have sharp eyes indeed to notice it after just seeing him once."

"I've already told Kendrix that I like him." Gary was being honest too.

Sebastian was astonished. "Do you like Mr. Trevino too?"

What did that mean?

He was confused.

Gary said, "I would like him to be our brother-in-law. That's what I told him."

Sebastian choked on the water he was drinking as he was distracted.

Gary said with concern, "Be careful."

Sebastian waved his hand as he coughed. "I'm fine. Why did you tell Mr. Trevino that? Aren't you being too blunt?"

"That's because that is the result I'm expecting," Gary said, "It seems to me that Kendrix knows how to read someone's mind through their actions or words. I have to throw him off guard first, and be ahead of him."

Otherwise, he would only be trapped by Kendrix in the mind game.

At first, Gary was still clueless about it and somehow Kendrix was able to know what he was thinking. He then thought about it a lot, and figured the other way round.

He didn't want to lose.

Thinking about it then, luckily, Gary was smart enough.

After his initial shock had passed, Sebastian pondered for a moment and came back to his senses. He said, "If we put it this way, he and Sylvia do make a great couple." Gary gave him a satisfying pat on the shoulder. "It's better to distract her with Kendrix. Otherwise, she will only be troubling the three of us."

Sebastian blinked his eyes and smiled. "Are you saying that I should just let her get first place?"

"Sure," Gary said, "Not only that, you should help her get it too."

Sebastian pursed his lips and gave the possibility of that a careful thought.

"If Kendrix was why she wanted to rank first, then let's give her what she wants," Gary said.

Sebastian decided to tell the truth. "Sylvia did mention that Kendrix will fulfil one wish of hers if she manages to get first place."

Gary froze for a moment before realization dawned on him. "I see. No wonder she wanted it

so much."

Sebastian nodded. "That's why she begged me to go easy on her and worked so hard."

"Did you reject her?" Gary asked.

Sebastian nodded. "As usual, I can't hide anything from you."

"Well, it isn't a bad thing to make her feel defeated for now," Gary said, "But then you should also help her with this and just go easy on her this one time."

Sebastian nodded, his expression serious. "I will help her if you said so. I will make Mr. Trevino our brother-in-law, and I will work hard on that."

Gary patted him on the shoulder and said, "Great. We can finally live in peace once she gets married to Kendrix. He will be able to solve any problem that Sylvia might have, and we won't be trouble anymore." Sebastian nodded. "Mr. Trevino can definitely handle Sylvia. However, she's still our sister. What if he doesn't treat her well?"

"If that happens, of course we will teach him a lesson," Gary said in a deep tone, "No one but us can mess with our sister."
