"Look, lad, even your girlfriend feel so." The lady tried to persuade him again by saying, "You two should stop being on the outs with each other. I can tell that you both indeed aren't scammers. I've misunderstood you. Well, let me apologize to you guys. When the police arrive, I will make it clear to them."

Both of them were astounded at the same time.

Claudia was very puzzled. "Why did you suddenly change your mind? Before this, you had been regarding us as scammers stubbornly."

"After a few minutes of interaction, I can tell that the two of you shouldn't be scammers. Still, the way you borrowed my phone just now really left an impression that you're a scammer for me. Many of the deceptions start from borrowing a phone." The lady didn't feel awkward that she had misunderstood Claudia and Sebastian. Instead, she was still very self-righteous. "There are too many scammers nowadays. You can't blame me for misunderstanding you, can you? Anyway, scammers are everywhere, right?" "If you simply call the police like this, you may be misunderstood as harassing the police and misusing the resources," Claudia said.

"It isn't my fault. If the police can eliminate all these scammers and give us a sense of security, I won't simply call the police. What do you think?"

"That's a nice argument there. What else can we say?" Sebastian commented in an impassive tone.

"There are many things you can say. For example, hurry up and humor your girlfriend, or she'll be truly exasperated. I think she's very nice as she doesn't get angry even after I've said so many bad words about her. It's hard to meet such a nice girl." The lady tried to talk Sebastian round persistently.

"How many times do I have to repeat it for you to believe that I'm not her boyfriend?" Sebastian asked.

"Yes, he indeed isn't my boyfriend. I'm a few years older than him," Claudia also spoke frankly.

However, those words were so irritating to Sebastian's ears.

Furrowing his brow, he threw a glance at Claudia, with patent distaste in his eyes.

"Lad, you're really as pretentious as I think. You clearly dislike this girl to say that you aren't her boyfriend, but you don't want to admit that you are her boyfriend. Let me tell you, the more you behave like this, the more difficult it is for your relationship to be as stable as that of other couples'. Most relationships come to an end because of pretentiousness. If you want to have a great relationship with her, you'd better not be pretentious."

The lady still wore the same attitude, feeling obliged to meddle in their business.

Claudia was startled by the lady's words.

It was ridiculous.

She really found it funny.

It was the first time that she had ever rejoiced to be misunderstood.

Anyhow, Claudia's mind was at ease.

In such a situation, as long as they did not go back to her apartment in a hurry, everything would be fine.

Sebastian knitted his brow so hard, and he wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

Claudia raised her chin slightly, giving a smug expression.

Seeing it, his dark eyes narrowed and fell on her as he sized her up, with a sardonic smile hung over his lips.

"You're really opinionated. First, you claimed that we are scammers, and then you said we are a couple. Do you think it's appropriate for you to do so Sebastian replied in a deep voice, "Do you have to pin a label on us just for your own satisfaction?"

"Lad, do you dare to swear that you don't like her?" The lady did not lose her temper, but she chose to go against him.

Sebastian asked back, "Why should I swear before you? It's completely unnecessary."

"See, you don't even dare to swear. It suggests that you're feeling guilty."

"How is that possible?" Sebastian frowned, refusing to concede it.

"Miss, you might have mistaken it. Speaking of falling in love, it was me who liked him first. However, he ignored me and wouldn't take fancy on me. Hence, I don't want to pester him and embarrass myself anymore." Claudia helped Sebastian out of the predicament and explained calmly, "He isn't into me. If I keep bothering him because I like him, I'll only be annoying. I can't do such a shameless thing."

"Oh, is that so?" The lady was taken aback to hear that.

Claudia added, "That's why I want to sever my ties with him, and there's no need to get close to him in the future even if we bump into each other. I'm his sister's good friend, and that's all." "Uh, girl, do you dare to bet with me?"

"Miss, I don't have the habit of betting." Claudia shook her head in amusement.

"I bet this lad likes you. He's just being stubborn in refusing to admit it."

"If so..." Claudia turned to shot a

glance at Sebastian. Perceiving that his expression had darkened, she changed her tone and said

self-deprecatingly, "If so, then pigs can fly. Anyway, it's too late. don't intend to waste my time on him anymore."

That was not the first time that Claudia had said such words. She had repeated it many times.

"Girl, I think you're disheartened." The lady opined again, "You can't get over him, and he tends to save his own pride, thus suffering himself. Both of you are more or less the same. You two are meant to be a pair of quarrelsome lovers."
