True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel 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.

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.
