True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 1887

"It's no trouble at all," Gary said on Kendrix's behalf, "Mr. Trevino and I were clicking immediately, and he said he will take great care of you."

Sylvia widened her eyes at this. How was this possible? She wondered.

She knew Kendrix well enough to know that he wouldn't be able to click with Gary at all.

However, Kendrix didn't refute what Gary said. Sylvia was a little surprised.

This didn't sound like Kendrix at all.

And now, Kendrix wasn't saying anything.

Celeste was also surprised. She noticed Gary's smug look and had a feeling that he must have dealt with this already with Kendrix.

Gary was indeed impressive.

Kendrix glanced at Gary and then at Sylvia. This pair of siblings were the same in their shamelessness.

Gary walked to Celeste's side and put his arm around her shoulder. He said with a smile, "Celeste, let's go for the movie. Mr. Trevino will bring Sylvia back. Don't worry."

The way Celeste gazed at Kendrix was mixed with a little sympathy.

Kendrix pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

Sylvia held her books and said with a smile, "Mr. Trevino, I've bought all the materials needed. Are you still not done yet? Do you need me to help you with it?"

"No need," Kendrix said lightly.

Gary immediately interrupted, "Mr. Trevino, you don't have to act like this. We are destined to be family. You can treat her like family too. I'll hand her over to you now. See you again."

Destined to be family?

Sylvia was a little confused. What did Gary mean by that?

She stared blankly at Gary, who gave her a wink, and then left with Celeste in his arm.

Sylvia was staring at him in great confusion.

She waited until Gary and Celeste had gone far before she turned to Kendrix. "Mr. Trevino, what did he say to you?"

Kendrix was startled under her stare. His eyes flickered and avoided her gaze as he said faintly, "Nothing much. He's a talkative person." "You can just say that he has a sharp tongue,"

Sylvia said.

He was startled again and said, "That too."

Sylvia laughed. She was still confused as she called out, "Mr. Trevino?"

Kendrix continued reading without looking at her.

She pouted.

After a few seconds, she let out a smile again.

This was because she realized that she got to spend more time with Kendrix, and he wasn't chasing her away. This was a good sign.

With this in mind, Sylvia was no longer feeling anxious.

She waited obediently next to Kendrix.

Perhaps she was being too quiet, Kendrix couldn't help but steal a glance at her.

Coincidentally, she was also looking at him with an innocent expression.

The moment their gazes met, Kendrix immediately looked away.

"Mr. Trevino?" Sylvia was quick-witted to notice that there was something wrong with Kendrix. Why did he avoid her gaze?

Something was not right.

Kendrix had always been a calm man.

What did Gary tell him that he was acting this strange?

Sylvia stared at him for a while before asking, "Mr. Trevino, did Gary tell you something inappropriate?"

Kendrix fixed his gaze on the book in hand without saying anything.

She didn't know what to do with his attitude.

Sylvia hesitated for a while before saying tentatively, "Please don't mind whatever my brother said to you. He only cares about Celeste and no one else. He is insensitive with his words."

She shivered a little like a bunny in shock, and then she looked pitifully at Kendrix.

He gulped again as he narrowed his eyes at her.

"Mr. Trevino." Sylvia smiled brightly at him. "You're scaring me. I didn't do this on purpose. Also, I've learned a lot from you. I don't consider this a waste of time. My relationship with my mother has improved a lot too. Isn't this what you aim to help with as a policeman too?"

Sylvia's words were clever enough, and her smile was radiating.

Kendrix frowned slightly and took a step backward until there was a safe distance between them. He then said in a low voice, "You should put that quick wit of yours to use. Otherwise, you're only a pretty accessory."

Sylvia was startled. She saw that there was no expression on his face, and she felt a little obscure.

She could tell that this was a reminder.

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Trevino. I am confident to be ranked second for this final."

"Why not first place?" Kendrix asked.

Sylvia said awkwardly, "I can't defeat Sebastian, that's why."

Kendrix then came to a realization. "He's your twin brother, isn't he?"

Sylvia nodded. "He may seem boring on the outside, but he has a sharp tongue too. He studies in his free time, unlike me. There's no way I can beat him."

Sebastian had always ranked first in every exam.

She could only come in second despite putting in all of her best efforts. Sometimes, she might even not appear among the top 50.

"Just do your best," Kendrix said, "If you get first place, I can promise you something in return."

"A promise?" Sylvia was surprised. "Mr. Trevino, what will that be?"

"As long as it doesn't violate the law and my morality, I can promise you anything," Kendrix said.

Sylvia's heart skipped a beat. She asked excitedly, "Really? You won't regret this, will you? Will you really promise me anything if I don't violate the

law and morals?"

Kendrix nodded. "Yes."
