True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 2274

No matter how dull Cordon was, at that point, he roughly understood something. He gazed at Claudia, who wore a strange expression and even blushed.

It was just that it was a blush of awkwardness.

Claudia felt greatly embarrassed.

She wondered what exactly Sebastian wanted.

With her eyes focused on him, Claudia felt that she could no longer retain her composure.

It was because he really behaved in an unusual manner that day.

He was making things difficult for her on purpose.

At first, he did not want to have any contact with her. Why did he start pestering her and insist on putting her in a difficult position that day? It was beyond Claudia. Cordon had no option but to take the bags of desserts and cake from Sebastian's hands and put them on the back seat.

Claudia did not say much, but just went behind to the backseat.

Cordon lowered his voice and asked, "Claudia, is your brother obsessed with you?"

Bemused, Claudia looked at Cordon subconsciously.

He probably realized that his words should not be spoken overtly, therefore he pulled her backward quickly, and the two of them took a few steps back.

Cordon lowered his voice again. "That's what I think. Your brother seems to dislike me being with you."

"You!" Claudia was speechless. She goggled at Cordon and asked, "When did I say that he's my brother?"

Cordon stood rooted to the spot, blinking. "Is he not your brother?"

Claudia was at a loss for words again, and she even rolled her eyes. "Do I look like I have a younger brother?"

"Uh, I'm sorry. I thought he is your brother." Cordon broke into chuckle. "I remember that you have a decent elder, or younger brother."

"That's my cousin," Claudia said, "Your memory is really bad."

"Uh!" Cordon smiled sheepishly. "Then, who is this? Why is he so imperious?"

"Forget it," Claudia said, "Anyway, he isn't my brother."

"Then who on earth is he?" Cordon was confused. "If he isn't your brother, then who is he? He's so protective of you, and he's treating me as if I'm his romantic rival." Claudia froze for a while before she replied grumpily, "All right, quit asking. Get into the car. Why did you became so chatty?"

After saying that, Claudia turned around and walked back, ignoring what Cordon wanted to speak.

She sat into the car in a flash.

In front of her, Sebastian was in the car, and there seemed to be a kind of frosty aura around him.

Claudia, who was in the backseat, could sense his aura clearly.

She shot a curious glance at the boy in front of her.

She could not see his face. Only his ears and neatly trimmed hair were visible to her. He had a slender neck and a stylish hairstyle, and his hair was very tidy. D*mn it. He was so good-looking all over, even including his hair. It really made Claudia feel like she was incurable.

She thought that she might have fallen ill from being in love with him.

She must have fallen critically ill. Otherwise, why would she still feel like that then? Even then, she still thought that Sebastian was just so handsome.

Alas.

Her heart had really been stolen.

There was indeed a look of frostiness in Sebastian's eyes. It ruffled his feathers to see Cordon and Claudia muttering something earlier, which he had no clue what they were talking about.

He was thinking, "How dare he whisper to her before the very eyes of mine! What was there to be whispered about?"

Sebastian snorted in his heart. When he saw Cordon go across the front of the car, his sight was fixed on him coldly. The piercingly cold air emanated from him prompted Claudia to say, "Sebastian, put away your arrogance!" Bewildered, Sebastian turned his head quietly and looked into her eyes.

Claudia felt a chill down her spine under his cold gaze.

"What are you doing?"

He just stared at her silently without uttering a word.

From the looks of it, he did not want to pay attention to her, but his eyes were full of resentment.

As a result, Claudia felt as if she had done something wrong.

Couldn't he be more reasonable?

Why was he staring at her like that?

How could he? Claudia could not get it.

When she was about to speak, Cordon had gotten into the car.

The words stuck in her throat all of a sudden.

None of them spoke again.

Sebastian turned his head back inconspicuously and looked ahead, disregarding Cordon completely, who was beside him.

Cordon had been ignored.

Besides, he was treated as a mere driver.

He was at a loss of words. Subsequently, while starting the engine, he inquired casually while smiling, "How should I address you?" Sebastian swept his eyes over the man beside him and answered, "Sebastian Jones."

"Is your last name Jones?" Cordon's jaw dropped for a second. "Are you a young master from the Jones family?"

Sebastian replied impassively, "Young master? Well, I'm flattered. You don't have to ingratiate yourself with me like other mediocre people."

"Uh!" Cordon was stunned again, and then he laughed. "Fine, how about I call you as Little Jones?"

Hearing that, a pucker appeared between Sebastian's eyebrows, and he took no notice of Cordon. Claudia could not help twitching her lips.

She thought, "The words 'Little Jones' are supposed to be forbidden, aren't they?"

Sure enough, Cordon had a similar mind set as her without having to actually talk about it.

She could not resist tittering.

Cordon saw it through the rear-view mirror. He was perplexed since he had no idea what she was tittering at.

However, when he saw Claudia tittering, he also couldn't help but to giggle alongside her.

Sebastian, on the other hand, felt that the two of them had a strong connection.

They actually all called him "Little Jones".

D*mn it.

Sebastian replied lightly, "You'd better not call me by that. Just call me by my name."

"Won't it be too alienated of us?" Cordon asked.

"We don't know each other very well to begin with."

"Uh!" Cordon was rendered speechless shortly. He then looked at Sebastian and said, "You're right. Well, I'll just call you by your name."

With that, Cordon changed the topic. He looked at Claudia and asked, "By the way, Claudia, how did you get to know Sebastian?"

"Does this have anything to do with you?" Sebastian answered it before Claudia did. "Officer Andrews, are you carrying out an investigation here?"

"Of course not. It's just a casual question. Sebastian, you're so aggressive. Are you having a hormonal imbalance?" Cordon did not feel that he had gone too far by making such comment.

Sebastian was taken aback by his words. He turned his head to gaze at Cordon with a faint smile, but there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes. "Hormones? I don't think mine are as imbalanced as yours."

Cordon was puzzled. He was absorbed in thoughts for a bit before his eyes fell on Sebastian, cracking a smile and asking, "Why did

you say so?"

Sebastian said again, "Let's discuss about hormones."

Once again, Cordon was mystified. After that, he gave a grin. "Okay, I'm all ears."

"The secretion of hormones are

affected by age. It starts to display a rising trend when humans first enter puberty, reaching its climax around the age of 30, then it'll be reduced gradually as we grow older.

Apparently, you are at the peak now, when you're more prone to

hormonal imbalance at this age,

whereas I've just started my

puberty," Sebastian said calmly, with

a tone as though he was an

academician.

Claudia's heart missed a beat when she heard it from the back. She wondered why there was a tense atmosphere.

"Officer Andrews, since you've

mentioned it, bet you must have

known that there are generally four main types of hormones, which include growth hormone, estrogen, androgen and prolactin. They all play

an essential role in our health,

growth and sexual functionality.

If there's a growth hormone deficiency, it may cause dwarfism, whereas if there's an imbalance between estrogen and androgen, sexual dysfunction may occur.

Of course, hormone secretion is

related to our diet, lifestyle and mood. Hence, we should avoid staying up late and always keep ourselves in a good mood. Allow me

to give you

you a free bit of advice Officer Andrews. You mustn't worry too much, or you may suffer from an early baldness."

"Pfft!" Claudia could not help but to burst into laughter behind them.

She did not expect Sebastian to give such a lecture. He was extremely adorable when he spoke so many scientific words at one go.

He appeared to be very knowledgeable, just like an old professor.
