True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 2258

Claudia left her takeout downstairs. Thinking of the voice message sent by Kendrix, she looked up at the sky and took a deep breath. That day, she had successfully set up Sylvia and Kendrix, and she was giving them space to spend some time alone then.

She was more than happy to do it, even though she was kicked out of her own apartment then.

However, she felt incredibly pitiful as she walked on the streets alone.

Sylvia and Kendrix were a couple then, while she was still single. She felt a little pathetic at the thought.

Why did she fall in love with Sebastian, who was several years younger? Furthermore, it was love at first sight.

Furthermore, Sebastian was dismissive of her. When did she ever let a man treat her like that?

The unexpected cold encounter made Claudia feel annoyed with herself.

Forget it. It was not like no one wanted her. Why did she have to pine for him?

Claudia was not the kind of girl who would force herself on a man. She felt that since Sebastian did not have feelings for her, there was no need to force the situation. Love was a two way street to begin with.

If she forced herself on Sebastian too much, it would make her seem like no one wanted her.

Forget it!

Forget it!

She would just have to let it be. Since they were not meant to be, why should she keep dwelling on it?

After coming to terms with reality, Claudia calmed down a little.

She briefly glanced at her watch. A few minutes had passed. The whole time, she was standing in her spot, looking up at the sky in a daze. Why did she have to waste time on those things? After all, life was too short. It was better for her to seize the moment and not waste it on a man who did not like her.

As she stood there, she realized that she had one hour to kill.

Claudia naturally had to look for a dessert shop. Not only that, the food had to be exquisite.

Since she had already boasted that she knew a dessert shop that made good desserts, she naturally had to buy some desserts.

She had to follow through on her act, otherwise, it would make things awkward. She planned to walk to the dessert shop and buy it, then hitched a ride back. That arrangement would make sense. Claudia walked alone along the streets while observing her surroundings.

The street was quite lively.

The area where her apartment was located was quite busy. It was very convenient as there were plenty of shops and it was easy for her to get things she needed.

She window shopped as she walked.

In fact, she did not know much about the place. When she was looking for a place to rent, she felt that it was very close to her work place, plus the area had a good public transport network. After walking for about 20 minutes, Claudia finally arrived at the dessert shop.

When she pushed the door open and went in, her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the figure standing in front of her.

Wait, is that Sebastian?

That was right.

It was Sebastian!

At that time, Sebastian was sitting by the window of the dessert shop, which was not far from the door, so Claudia saw him at a glance when she entered the door.

Sat opposite him, was a girl of around the same age as him.

Claudia was stunned. The girl looked like she was about 17 years old. She was wearing a white down jacket and a pink fur cap. She looked very cute.

A faint smile appeared on Sebastian's face as he looked at the girl dotingly.

His eyes were fixed on the girl. He did not notice Claudia at the door at all.

Claudia stood at the door and studied the young couple in front of her. They looked very compatible with each other.

For a moment, she felt a lump in her throat. She tried her best to hold it back as she straighten her back. However, she could not hide the shock and disappointment in the depths of her eyes. She thought to herself. "So that's how it is."

That girl should be his classmate. They looked like they were peers. Both were still relatively young.

They looked like they were perfect for each other.

She was surely older while being compared to the two of them.

Should she leave and pretend that she did not see anything?

No!

Wouldn't that make her a coward?

Claudia felt that since she was already there, then she should face the truth. She was not a person who would hide from reality anyway, so she calmly walked into the dessert shop.

At that time, Sebastian also seemed to have noticed something strange. When he looked up, he saw Claudia.

At that moment, the smile on Sebastian's face suddenly froze.

Claudia suddenly felt very ironic. She noticed the change in Sebastian's expression. Did he hate her so much?

His face actually immediately turned cold.

She wondered whether he was that disgusted at her.

Claudia offered a slight smile. She wanted to place an order for the desserts, but suddenly she changed her mind and walked towards the two people.

Sebastian's gaze was fixed on

Claudia the whole time as she made

her way towards them. They looked at each other, and Claudia was smiling, but it didn't look like a genuine smile. The corner of her mouth quirked up, but no matter how one looked at it, it still looked as if there was a hint of sarcasm in it.

What kind of expression was that?

Sebastian frowned and was very unhappy.

The girl opposite Sebastian also noticed that something was off. She turned her head and followed his gaze. She was not sure who he was looking at, but she was surprised to see a very beautiful woman walking towards their table. Then, she turned to look at Sebastian.

Sebastian ignored the girl's gaze and just stared at Claudia for a moment.

From afar, their eyes met.

Claudia could feel the coldness in Sebastian's eyes. It was overwhelming.

It was as if he was blaming her for ruining his plans.

Sebastian stared coldly at Claudia as she approached. Claudia saw the shock and indifference in his eyes, as well as all kinds of contempt. She suddenly felt very hurt.

Even though she was a few years older than him, she still felt a pang in her chest as the bitterness spread within.

Did he hate her so much?

Claudia just wanted to say hello, but when she saw the expression on Sebastian's face, she suddenly changed her mind as she got closer. She looked at Sebastian and walked straight past their table. She did not say a word to him. It was as if he did not exist.

Sebastian was caught off guard once again when Claudia walked past him.

He thought that she would walk over and say something sarcastic.

However, no.

She walked past him without saying even a word.

"Sebastian?"

The girl across from him was also stunned. She asked, "Sebastian, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Sebastian lowered her head and looked at the girl. His expression was perfunctory and his voice was faint.

Claudia walked past their table and made her way back to the counter to order some desserts.

She didn't look at Sebastian again. She pretended as if she didn't know anyone in the shop.

Since Sebastian was so indifferent towards her, why would she want to make herself upset?

She lowered her head and quietly looked through the menu. She considered the various desserts sold as well as the individual preferences of Kendrix and Sylvia, and ordered the desserts.

In the end, she felt that something was still missing. That was a happy day for her as she just moved in to her new place.

Yes, she realized that she was still missing a cake.

She should buy a cake to celebrate her moving into her new apartment. She also wanted to celebrate the start of her new life in Northern City.

At the thought of that, Claudia asked the waiter, "I would like to have a whole cake. How long does it take for you guys to bake a cake?"

The waiter said to her, "Miss, if you don't mind waiting, it will take about half an hour. You can sit and wait."

Claudia was stunned. "Half an hour? Is there any way you can bake it faster?"

"Miss, that's the best we can do. Most guests would order in advance. If you can't wait, we can deliver the cake to you," the waiter said with a smile.

"Is that so?" Claudia thought for a

moment and decided that it was best to not have it delivered. It would be safer for her to take it home herself since they were going to eat it. "All fight then. I would like a TO inches cake. I'll wait here. I don't want to trouble you guys to make a

trip."

"All right. Miss, what kind of design would you like for your cake? We have some pictures here. Feel free to choose the design that you want."

Claudia sat down in an empty seat and slowly flipped through the cake designs.

She was very serious and quiet. It was if there was no one around. After flipping through several designs, she pointed to one and said, "I'll go with this one. Can you also please write "Happy Moving In" on the

cake?"

"No problem, miss. Please wait for a moment." The waiter quickly put in the cake order, while Claudia sat there and waited.

After a while, Claudia felt someone blocking her light. A figure sat down on the seat opposite her.

Claudia inadvertently looked up and met Sebastian's eyes, looking intimidating.
