True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 2206

A long time passed before they finally let go of each other. Ruffling Sylvia's hair, Kendrix said in a low voice, "It's time to go. I'll take you downstairs."

"Okay." Although she nodded, she remained in his arms. "I don't want to go back," she murmured.

He could feel her attachment to him. She was baring her emotions to him.

He smiled, then sighed and said, "Your parents would be sad if they knew you didn't want to go home."

She pouted. "I won't be able to see you after I go home."

He was stunned. He stroked her head gently and replied, "Well see each other soon enough. We can always video call each other, but you have to promise me something."

"You want me to study," Sylvia answered. She knew what he was going to say. She was a bright kid, and she knew what she had to prioritize.

As a student, she should focus on her education.

She knew that was the least she could do.

Getting the answer he wanted, he was relieved and nodded. "All right. Let's go. Don't sulk, okay?"

Now wanting to appear childish in front of him, Sylvia let go of him reluctantly.

Once Kendrix felt her leave his embrace, he raised his brows and exhaled. Then, he gave a little cough and the lights turned back on.

Sylvia closed her eyes to give her eyes some time to adjust. When she opened them, she saw Kendrix looking at her, his face slightly flushed.

Sylvia felt her face burn too, and she felt embarrassed.

His lips were also a little swollen, which was her doing.

It was the same with her lips. They were swollen and starting to hurt a little.

She pursed her lips and unconsciously let out a low cry.

"What's wrong?" he asked immediately.

"I'm fine." She shook her head, blushing even harder.

She was embarrassed to tell him that it hurt a little when she pursed her swollen lips, which was why she could not help crying out in surprise.

Looking at her carefully, Kendrix could roughly guess the reason behind her cry.

He smiled. Seeing that, she muttered, "Don't laugh

at me."

However, he continued to chuckle.

Sylvia shot him a hurt look.

"All right. I'll stop laughing."

Sylvia felt that Kendrix's laughter was infectious and melodious.

Her ears reddened, and she complained, "It's all your fault."

He smiled again, then reached out and took her hand. "I'll stop for real this time, okay? Shall we take the stairs?" His voice was a little hoarse.

She nodded. They could spend a little more time together if they took the stairs. It felt good to hold hands with him.

It was apparent that she wholeheartedly approved his suggestion from her vehement nodding and her tightened grip on his hand.

Kendrix smiled, and they walked down the stairs slowly.

Fortunately, they were on the ninth floor, so it would not take too long to reach the ground floor.

Sylvia did not speak. She merely held his hand tightly and glanced at him from time to time.
