True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 2179

Just as Kendrix promised, Sylvia's phone rang ten minutes right after their last call.

Excited, Sylvia answered the call to see Kendrix's handsome face appear on the screen.

Sylvia felt her heart skip a beat, her heart racing seeing her beloved.

She never had that feeling seeing other men.

That was why Sylvia was confident Kendrix was her love at first sight.

If she didn't feel so with other men at first sight, then it wasn't love.

Just like how she didn't feel the same for Chigo.

She was clear about that.

A child's words were nothing more than jests.

But now, she was sure her heart was with Kendrix.

She merely grinned, staring at the man on the other end of the line, not saying a word, just smiling.

Seeing her beam, Kendrix asked, "Why are you smiling?"

"I'm happy," Sylvia answered joyfully, "I feel like a

soaring bird."

"Really? And how does that feel exactly?" Kendrix asked.

"Imagine a caged bird, right? It'd definitely be upset losing its freedom, but once it's free to fly straight to the open sky, soaring freely, it'd feel awesome, wouldn't it?" Sylvia said, her eyes curving into crescents. "That is how I feel right now."

She felt like a bird flying to the clouds.

"Why are you so happy then?"

"Because you're mine now." Sylvia was direct. "So, of course, I'm happy, no, not just happy. I'm very, very, very happy."

She used a few 'very's to describe how happy she felt right then.

Influenced by her happiness, Kendrix smiled faintly and said, "You'll easily be taken advantage of if you write your emotions on your face."

"Are you teaching me how to act?" Sylvia blinked and said, "Though I admit you're right, I can't help wanting to smile. What's more, you're right in front of me."

Kendrix shook his head once more, chuckling under his breath.

He had a charming smile; his lips curved slightly upward, his thick long lashes drooped, and his nose tall and straight, the epitome of perfection from her angle.

No.

He had a perfect face, perfect from every angle.

Yes, that was it.

Kendrix was that handsome.

"You can act like this in front of me, but you need to control yourself when you are in front of others," Kendrix reminded her.

"I know." Sylvia nodded and said, "That goes without saying. Of course, I will be careful."

"Good." Kendrix took a gander at her before checking his watch. They only had seven minutes left.

He thought that time was passing too quickly, as if it would pass in the blink of an eye.

"What were you reading earlier while I was doing my maths?" Only then did Sylvia suddenly remember to ask Kendrix.

"Criminal investigation," Kendrix said so but felt inexplicably guilty.

Because he was utterly distracted.

Luckily, he remembered the title of the book.

"Oh, what's it about?" Sylvia asked. "Tell me about

it."

Stumped, he could only tell her what he had read in the past.

But even so, he still felt guilty.

So he immediately changed the subject, "We only have six minutes left. Are you sure you want to hear me talk about this obscure and incomprehensible thing? It'll be a pity to waste our time on this."

And just like that, he successfully swayed Sylvia. "What do you want to talk about then?"

"Anything," he said, "Maybe, you."

"Me?" Sylvia widened her eyes. "I mean, what you're seeing is what you get. What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything."

Stumped, Kendrix thought, "Yeah, what do I want to know?"

He fell silent for a while.

When Sylvia saw how silent he was, she suddenly leaned her face closer to the screen.

Kendrix was once again stumped when he saw Sylvia's suddenly enlarged face.

She blinked and asked, "What's on your mind?"

"Nothing," Kendrix leaned back on his chair, not daring to look into her eyes for fear she saw right through his thoughts.

Something wasn't right.

Sylvia looked at his handsome face in the screen and said, "Kendrix, do you know?"

"Know what?" He quirked his brow, looking back at her.

"You're really great." Sylvia blushed, her lips closing and parting as her soft voice traveled from the screen. "Absolutely amazing, no matter how or what you do. And it's even better after becoming your girlfriend."

Taken aback by her compliment, Kendrix wore a tender smile and coaxed, "Time for you to go to bed."

"There's still four minutes left," Sylvia reminded. "You're not shy, are you?"

Scrutinizing his face, she wondered if his face was feeling slightly warm like hers.
