True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 2272

Sebastian still fixed his dull gaze on Claudia, as if he was trying his best to chew over something.

Claudia gave a grin. "Don't look at me with such an expression. Whether you agree or not, you can't change the fact that sometimes, you're too bashful to admit that you like a girl. What do you think?" As Claudia spoke, she winked at him with an impish expression.

It made Sebastian become absent-minded again.

"What? Are you dumbfounded? Have you not seen a beauty before?" Perceiving that he seemed to be preoccupied, Claudia was curious and amused.

Although she was pretty conceited to consider herself a beauty, her heart had been filled with self-deprecation and disappointment.

Even if she was beautiful, so what?

Anyhow, he was not tempted by her, and that was the most heartbreaking thing.

Sebastian also came to his senses immediately and averted his eyes from Claudia.

However, he still said, "Your inference is wrong this time." "Wrong?" Claudia was staggered again. With a pucker between her eyebrows, she questioned him, "Tell me where I'm wrong. Let me see if it makes sense so that I can improve."

Sebastian ruminated for a bit and felt that there were some things that needed to be clarified. "Firstly, the girl who was with me at the dessert shop today is my classmate. We have a school project to discuss, thus we didn't meet up for a date."

"Oh!" Claudia nodded, but it was apparent from her expression that she did not believe what he said.

In Claudia's view, many people, who were about the same age as Sebastian and the girl, would not admit that they were dating.

After all, they were just boys and girls, which was understandable.

Meanwhile, Sebastian thought, "What kind of expression is that?"

It was plain that she did not believe his words. Sebastian gritted his teeth, and his eyes were full of anger, but he managed to hold back.

He said again, "Secondly, she isn't my cup of tea."

"Is she not your cup of tea?" Claudia was a little surprised. "Then what kind of girl is your cup of

tea?"

There was a sentence that he almost blurted out, but he just pursed his lips and said nothing at last.

There were indeed some words that could not be spoken.

"Look at yourself, you don't even know what kind of girl you like. In fact, it's probably not that you don't know, but that you're too shy to admit it." Claudia could tell from his expression that he was too embarrassed to admit it.

Claudia gave a knowing smile.

Seeing that, Sebastian felt really helpless.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "You're right. I'm really too shy to admit it."

"There you go." Claudia put on an "I- knew- it" expression.

Looking at her, Sebastian frowned so hard.

Just when he was about to say something, a car came to a halt beside them.

"Claudia."

Following that, a gruff male voice came from the car.

In the next second, a tall figure emerged from the car. It was a policeman, who was in his uniform. From the looks of it, he was about the same age as Claudia.

"Hey, Cordon, why are you here?" As soon as Claudia saw the man, she hurried over and beamed at him sweetly.

Sebastian's face froze.

Suddenly, he found her expression a little maddening.

A glance was enough to drive him up the wall as he hated to see Claudia smiling at another man. It was too irritating to him.

"What a coincidence. When I saw you just now, I thought it wasn't you, so I turned the car around to confirm it. It's only when I come closer that I realize it's really you." Cordon looked at Claudia with a grin. "Are you shopping with your brother?"

Taking a gander at Sebastian, as well as the desserts and cake in his hands, Cordon gave him a new identity, which would be the younger brother of Claudia.

Claudia did not try to explain, she just nodded and said to Cordon, "I came out to get desserts. What about you? What have you been up to?"

"I just got off work." Cordon replied,

"I'm here to buy something. I didn't expect to bump into you. How is it? Have you tidied up everything? Can you start coming to work

tomorrow?" "Of course." Claudia net

nodded. "Everything has almost

been done. It's time for mo

to go to

work. My boss gave me two days after I reported to duty. I've already finished tidying up. I'm going to have a celebration today before start working tomorrow."

"A celebration?" Cordon smiled at Claudia and said, "For moving to Northern City?"

"That's right." Claudia nodded. "I've just gotten a new living place and a new working unit. How can I not celebrate it?"

"That isn't very nice of you, Claudia. In any case, we are classmates. How come you didn't invite me to the celebration of your new home?"

"Haha, I thought you have to work overtime today." Claudia burst into laughter quickly and did not feel awkward at all. "If you want to join it isn't too late yet. I just bought the cake, and there are some food at home. However, to be honest, I've

ordered takeout instead of cooked

myself. Is that fine by you?"

"How can we have a celebration without cooking? You need to cook something today because it's a herald of good fortune," Cordon said, "How about we make a roast turkey? Well, let your brother go back first. I'll take you to buy some ingredients for it."

As he spoke, Cordon cast a glance at Sebastian.

Sebastian narrowed his eyes while staring at Cordon with a sharper look.

Cordon thought he had seen it wrongly, wondering why the boy was staring at him with such sharp gaze.

He smiled and said, "Buddy, I'll hail a taxi for you. You can go back first. I'll take your sister to buy something."

The corners of Claudia's lips twitched as she wanted to explain it.

However, Cordon took the initiative to speak again, "As it happens, there's a taxi coming."

As he spoke, Cordon helped Sebastian to hail a taxi.

He also went to tell the driver in person that someone needed a taxi over there.

At that moment when they were left on their own, Claudia said, "This is my classmate. Go to my place first by the taxi. I'm going to buy some food ingredients."

"I don't even know where your home is. How dare you ask me to leave by a taxi first?" Sebastian asked. Then, he looked in Cordon's direction and said coldly, "Your classmate is really making himself at home."

The corners of Claudia's lips twitched again. "Yes, he's on good terms with everyone, very friendly."

"Don't you think he's a little too friendly?" There was a note of sarcasm in Sebastian's tone.

"Too friendly?" Claudia blinked. "It's fine by me, I don't think so. If you don't want to go to my place by yourself, you can go back to your home first. Just put the desserts and cake in his car."

"Are you driving me away?" Sebastian glanced at Claudia before giving a mischievous smile. The curve of his lips was quite sharp. "It won't be that easy to drive me away."

"I did want to drive you away."

Claudia answered, "In fact, it boils down to one thing. We don't know

each other very well. It's embarrassing when you insist going to my place. You even made my classmate misunderstand that We're siblings. To put it bluntly, I feel very awkward."

"In my opinion, there's nothing to feel awkward about as long as I don't tell your classmate that you used to like me before. If you don't mind, I think it's okay to tell him," said Sebastian. Claudia was struck dumb right away.

"What... what did you say?"

"What? Are you afraid that I will break the news to your classmate?" Sebastian asked again.

Claudia discovered that Sebastian had been behaving in such an unusual manner on that day that she was taken aback and puzzled.

"Are you out of you mind?"

"Why? Are you scared that I'll spoil your plan?" Sebastian kept on making snarky remarks.

Claudia's eyes widened.

Concurrently, Cordon waved his hand while calling out to them, "Buddy, come here quickly. I've told the driver to send you back."

Sebastian threw a glance at Cordon and said something that was only audible to Claudia and himself.

"He is really an opinionated guy." Sebastian sneered, "He doesn't even know the basic respect towards people."

His words had gotten under Claudia's skin. She felt that Sebastian obviously looked down on Cordon. After all, Cordon was her classmate.

Claudia didn't like it when someone insulted her classmate.

She smirked and riposted, "Yes, the basic respect. Not everyone put in into actions. I've already rejected you, yet you still want to follow me. Don't you think you've gone too far?" He shot a frosty look at Claudia and answered indifferently, "I don't think so."
