Chapter 2210
"I think the two of you are hiding something from me," Claudia said. "Honestly, I'm curious. I'm so curious."
Sylvia was amused. "Oh? What are you curious about? What could happen between Mr. Trevino and me? He's my teacher."
When Claudia heard that, she seemed to realize something. "On, so it seems like you're holding back about the matter because you're still a student." Sylvia's heart jolted when she heard that. In the end, Claudia managed to guess the reason she was not revealing anything.
She felt helpless.
However, Sylvia did not say anything. She did not admit it, nor did she deny it.
At that instant, Claudia immediately understood. She smiled and said, "Now I know why Kendrix blocked me. It seems that it's all my fault. Alas, curiosity killed the cat."
Sylvia found Claudia's words amusing. "Indeed, we can't be too curious. However, there are times when we need to maintain a certain level of curiosity."
"So what if I'm curious? None of you are going to satisfy my curiosity," Claudia lamented with a sigh. "Forget it. I won't interrupt your video call anymore. Good night."
Claudia ended her phone call as abruptly as she had called. However, Sylvia knew that Claudia had already guessed what was going on. Luckily, Claudia did not continue to make things difficult for Sylvia. Otherwise, it would definitely be even more awkward. Sylvia thought to herself. When her call with Claudia ended, she received another incoming video call.
It was Kendrix. Sylvia immediately answered it and explained what had happened.
Kendrix frowned. "No wonder you suddenly hung up. So, it was because of Claudia."
Sylvia looked at Kendrix with her bright eyes. She felt it odd that Kendrix continued to contact her through his own initiative.
"Mr. Trevino," Sylvia suddenly said.
"Yes?" Kendrix raised his eyebrows, "What's 911"Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
"Have you noticed? It seems like it's getting harder and harder for you to be apart from me." As soon as she said that, her face turned even redder. She felt that her words were a little too shameless, but she forced them out of her mouth.
She wanted to see Kendrix's reaction.
Kendrix was stunned at first, and his eyes widened as if he was experiencing a dramatic change. Then, he smiled mysteriously. It was a smile that was enough to make her heart skip a beat.
"Did I say anything wrong?" Sylvia hurriedly asked. "All right, I admit. I'm the one who can't bear to be apart from you. But I really like it when you take the initiative to call me."
When Kendrix heard that, he sighed. "Since you like it, then why do you need to be so shy about it?"
That was not the point! Sylvia thought to herself. Kendrix was too smart. He avoided her question so easily.
She could not get anything out of him at all.
Couldn't Kendrix just admit that he could not bear to be apart from Sylvia? Sylvia fume.
Seeing how he was gazing at her silently, Sylvia felt a little unhappy. She pouted and shot him an extremely aggrieved expression.
Kendrix could not help thinking how cute she was, and his gaze deepened. He wished that she could be in front of him right at that moment so that he could embrace her.
However, the reality was too cruel. He could only see her. He could not hold her.
Kendrix felt that the days ahead would be even more challenging. How could he control his urge to hug her?
A complicated look flashed in his eyes. Not wanting to make her feel even more aggrieved, he said, "If you were a college student now, I don't think I could restrain myself so much." Upon hearing that, Sylvia suddenly looked up at Kendrix once more.
She saw the burning desire in his eyes and suddenly smiled. "I know what you mean by that. We have the same thoughts."
Kendrix was stunned. Then, he smiled.
They looked at each other and laughed.
Kendrix gazed at Sylvia for a long time before finally saying, "Okay, it's getting late. You should get some rest.
"Okay." Sylvia nodded. "You should rest earlier too."
"I still have to work on a paper," Kendrix replied. "You go on and sleep first." "Wait! You're going to do some work? Then, I won't sleep too. I'll study and accompany you through this video call."
Kendrix hesitated for a moment, then he smiled and nodded.
It was just like in the past. They would video call each other while they did their own things.
Sylvia found a book and started to read in bed, propping her phone up next to her pillow.
That way, she could see Kendrix on the screen and see his handsome face.
Sylvia felt happy.
Meanwhile, Kendrix sat down at the desk in his study. He placed his phone on a phone holder and turned on his computer.
He was analyzing a case for his academic thesis.
In the past, he would always focus all his energy on researching. However, now he had to do that while checking on whether Sylvia was slacking off or not.
Every time he inadvertently looked at the screen, he saw that she was studying seriously.
Her hair drooped down as she
lowered her head to read. More than
half of her face was covered by her
long hair. He could not help thinking how cute she looked.
Sylvia lay on her stomach on the bed, resting her chin on her hand as she buried her nose in her book.
She moved slightly, and Kendrix happened to catch a glimpse down her neckline. The sight made his breathing quicken, and he gulped. Kendrix tried his best to control his emotions, looking away and trying to focus on his work.
He felt that he really had changed.
He was not as rational as before, and he realized that he was losing control more and more frequently.
The change made Kendrix feel nervous. However, his nervousness also made him feel a little happy.
He had been struggling with that
contradictory feeling for a long time. When he tooked up at the screen once more, he saw that she had
fallen asleep. Her cheek was
now
pressed on her pillow, and she faced the camera.
As he gazed at her, he thought how beautiful she looked even when she was sleeping.
Kendrix's breathing quickened once more and became a little ragged.
He wanted to tell her that if she was tired, she should go to sleep first.
However, Kendrix did not say anything in the end because he was too reluctant to be apart from her.
He was afraid that if he said it, she would end the call at once.
He was reluctant to end the call that night. He still wanted to see her.
Kendrix looked at his phone, then reached out and gently touched her face through the screen.
His movements were light and gentle as if he would wake her up if he exerted even the tiniest bit of force.
Sylvia had really fallen asleep.
She had dozed off while studying.
She slept for an hour. By the time she woke up, she realized that Kendrix was still typing away.
She glanced at her watch and realized that she had slept for an hour.
Embarrassed, she stuck out her tongue, then realized that Kendrix was watching her. Feeling like she had been caught, she whispered, "Sorry, I fell asleep."
"Are you awake?" Kendrix's voice was hoarse, and his gaze deep. "You didn't sleep for long."
"Aren't you finished yet? Do you still have a lot to do?" Sylvia asked.
Kendrix nodded. "I think I'll have to pull an all-nighter." "If you do that, your body won't be able to take it.
"You go ahead and sleep first. I work better during the quiet night," Kendrix said.
Sylvia shook her head. "It'll be better for me to accompany you."
"Listen to me," Kendrix said softly. "You're still growing, so you shouldn't stay up too late."
"I think I'm tall enough. I don't need to grow anymore," Sylvia said.
Kendrix gazed at her, staring at the lower part of her neck. "There are still places that need growing."
Sylvia lowered her head to look at herself, then realized that Kendrix was looking at her chest. She blushed immediately. "Hey, what are you looking
at?"
