True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 2176

Kendrix was delighted, amused that she was surprised. "It's not surprising for a shrewd man like your father to figure it out."

"It sounds like you have great admiration for my dad." Sylvia had already taken off her jacket, lying on her stomach on the bed as they talked. Her voice was full of sweetness, without any trace of the previous depression.

"You may be unclear how preeminent your dad is as a businessman in Northern City." Kendrix's voice came from the other end of the line. "But I think someone with great achievements like him isn't simple."

"I don't see that side of him." Sylvia remarked, "What I see is his benign side."

Stumped, Kendrix, of course, understood where she was coming from.

This girl was the apple of Heinz's eye, the one and only little princess of the Jones family, and she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Heinz would definitely show his kindest side in front of her.

If Kendrix had a daughter, he would have the heart to be strict with her too.

Kendrix was stupefied that a mini version of Sylvia came to mind at the thought of having a daughter in the future.

Huh!

If she were the mother of his child, they would certainly have a gorgeous baby.

Thinking of this, Kendrix shook his head right away to aside such vision. It was too early.

She was still so young. Thinking about it now would be an affront to her.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Banishing these thoughts from his mind, Kendrix asked softly, "Did your dad make things difficult for you?"

"I was shocked at first, thinking he had followed me." Sylvia smiled bashfully. "But later, I realized he just knew what I was thinking. Am I really an open book?"

Kendrix seemed amused by her guess, having hints of laughter in his words, "Do you think you're the sort of person who can hide your feelings then?"

"Oh, c'mon, just because I'm young doesn't mean I can't tell you're making fun of me," Sylvia said with a hint of complaint, "I really have my thoughts written all over my face, huh? That's why you guys can tell what I'm thinking so easily." "No big deal. It's only normal for a father to care about his daughter." Kendrix said, "And he didn't give you a hard time, no?"

"Well, not entirely." Sylvia told Kendrix truthfully, "My dad made a pact with me as well."

Hearing the pact Heinz had set with her, Kendrix was staggered shortly, too, thinking Heinz was indeed an astounding man.

He thought Sylvia would be put in a difficult situation, but her father had actually taken him into consideration.

It struck Kendrix dumb for a while.

"I think my dad's right. I have to be rational; I can't put you in a difficult position." Sylvia beamed as she spoke. "By the way, are you already home?" Kendrix took a gander at the lights in the gated community, and Sylvia immediately sensed his hesitation.

"You haven't gone back yet?"

"I'm leaving now." How could Kendrix tell her he was apprehensive her parents might give her a hard time, so he wouldn't leave until he knew she was okay.

The words lingered in his heart, but he found great pains to utter them out loud.

"Kendrix." Sylvia raised her voice, anxious, "Go take a taxi home now. It's too cold outside."

Plus, it'd be rather forlorn to be alone outside during New Year's.

Her heart ached for him, but she didn't know how to say it.

She could also sense the care from the pact with her father, knowing profoundly that she must not act heedlessly so Kendrix wouldn't fall into a passive position.

If she really besmirched Kendrix's reputation, she wouldn't be able to live with herself.

Her purpose of falling in love with Kendrix was to bring happiness to him and herself rather than cause pain.

"I'm not cold," Kendrix reassured her tenderly.

It indeed wasn't cold that night, plus he had drunk some wine and done some impulsive things; how could he be cold when his blood was still surging.

"Still, you should go home now. It's already closing at midnight." Sylvia said, "How about we save the call until you've returned to your apartment. Shall we have a video call then?"

Kendrix replied, "Okay, I'm going to take a taxi back now."

"I'll text you."

"What is the most important thing?" Kendrix had wanted to remind her to focus on her studies.

But his girl had blurted out an unexpected answer.

"You!"

It turned out that he mattered the most to her.

Kendrix's mind went blank briefly. He felt touched and impotent simultaneously.

This girl...

"What about your studies?" he asked helplessly. His tone filled with gentleness, and his voice particularly husky.

"You first, study second." Sylvia made no secret of her feelings toward him.

Kendrix's pupils tightened, surprised as he was moved.

He wondered how long it had been since he last had such a feeling; perhaps after the death of his parents.

So how could he not be moved when he had become someone's top priority?

Clearing his throat, Kendrix replied softly, "Thank you; I'm honored."

"I'm telling the truth. Don't stand on formality with me," answered Sylvia.

"I'm not." Kendrix opined, "But don't forget what you have promised your father and me. Focus on your studies; know what you should be doing now. If your academic

performance declines because

me, Nl be blaming myself, and all my effort of plucking up the courage to be your boyfriend will come to nothing. Do you understand?"

"Wow! You actually said so much to me in one breath. This may be a record." Sylvia may or may not tend to grasp the main point differently.

Kendrix was flummoxed for a bit before he let out a helpless sigh.

"Is that what I want to tell you?"

"I know; I'll study hard. Don't worry." Sylvia said, "I'm at ease now that I know you feel the same about me too. I'll do my best in my studies. As smart as I'm, I'll catch up in no time. Besides, with an intelligent boyfriend like you to guide me, my

performance won't be bad."

As Kendrix spoke through the phone, he hailed a taxi, got in, and said to her, "I'm in a taxi now. Let's continue the conversation after I get back. Go

study."

"Alright, got it." Sylvia was thrilled Kendrix didn't refuse her suggestion to continue their talk after he went back.

After hanging up, Sylvia thought she could use this time in between to take a shower.

With that, she dashed into the shower and came out wearing a bathrobe and a shower cap. Checking her phone, she was glad she didn't miss

his call.

She dried her hair swiftly and changed into her pajamas.

Just as she had just gotten everything done, her phone rang the next second.

Stumped for a split second, she lay prone on the bed in amazement and picked up the call with her long hair hanging loose.

"Hey, have you arrived at the apartment?"

"Just entered," Kendrix answered.

"How about we have a video chat?" inquired Sylvia.

Kendrix checked his watch. "It's too late. Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I can't fall asleep, and I don't usually sleep much." Sylvia said, "You promised we'd have a video call. Or you haven't gotten back to the apartment?"

"I have," replied Kendrix. "Give me ten minutes. We'll video chat after I take a shower and change, alright?"

"Okay, okay, of course." She'd agree to anything as long as they could have a video chat.

Surprised by her excitement, Kendrix hung up and shook his head with a titter, then looked over at the sofa.

He had been sitting there not too

long ago, with his girl on his lap, kissing her. At the thought of those kisses, his blood boiled again, rushing toward his phallus, making him breathe heavier.

He took a look at himself and went to the shower.

He only retreated to his bedroom to call Sylvia after taking a shower with a much lower water temperature than usual. Kendrix was surprised, feeling warm and touched, knowing she had been waiting for him when the call was answered almost instantly.
