After a while, they arrived at Claudia's small residence. From Sebastian's expression, it seemed like he was in a bad mood. The atmosphere in the car was terrifying too.
As they drove into the underground garage, Claudia did not say anything. She only told Sebastian, "I've sent the unit number to your phone. You can go up first. Cordon, come with me to get the takeout."
At that moment, Sebastian was stunned. The desserts were stuffed into his hands once more, then Claudia and Cordon left.
Sebastian fumed as he watched their retreating backs. As he looked at them, he narrowed his eyes. Then, he turned toward the elevator.
Five minutes later.
Sebastian knocked on the door.
The moment Sylvia opened the door and saw him, she was surprised. "Where's Claudia?"
Sebastian walked in and saw Kendrix. Sebastian was quite surprised, but he still greeted him politely. "Mr. Trevino. As I guessed, you really are
here."
Kendrix nodded slightly. He was very calm as he said, "Yes. What a coincidence to meet you here."
"It's not a coincidence," Sebastian replied in a low voice. "I specifically came here to meet you, Mr. Trevino."
Seeing how frank he was, Kendrix smiled. He walked over and took the cake from Sebastian, saying, "Come on in."
Sylvia turned around and asked curiously, "Where's Claudia? Didn't you see her?"
"She'll be up in a while," Sebastian answered.
"Oh, okay," Sylvia murmured and nodded, heaving a sigh of relief.
Sylvia closed the door. There were only the three of them in the apartment.
Sebastian put down the things in his hands, then looked at Sylvia and said, "Sylvia, pour me a glass of water."
Sylvia was surprised. She asked directly, "Sebastian, are you trying to get rid of me?"
Seeing how alert Sylvia was, he knew that she was protecting Kendrix.
He looked toward Kendrix.
Still as calm as ever, Kendrix told Sylvia, "Sylvia, go and get Sebastian a glass of water. He looks like he's in need of a drink."
"But," Sylvia protested. She was still a little reluctant to leave. She was worried that Sebastian would make things difficult for Kendrix.
Kendrix shook his head and shot her a reassuring look.
Only then did Sylvia relax a little.
She nodded and said, "Okay."
Then, she went to the kitchen to give them some privacy.
Sebastian glanced in the direction that she headed to, knowing that she would return soon.
"Is there anything you want to tell me? Just say it. Let's not waste time," said Kendrix frankly.
In truth, Kendrix could guess what Sebastian wanted to say.
"Are you in a relationship with my sister?" Sebastian asked.
Kendrix looked at him and nodded. "That's right."
"Oh," Sebastian echoed. He did not expect Kendrix to admit it so readily, and he was a little shocked. "Don't you know how old she is?"
"Age is not a problem," Kendrix replied. "It won't affect a relationship at all. However, there are certain boundaries that I won't cross."
Kendrix's way of explaining things could be regarded as a reflection of his attitude.
Sebastian was dumbfounded.
As he looked at Kendrix, he felt the urge to ask something.
"Is age really not a problem?"
"It never has been," Kendrix said seriously. "I think the age difference makes us cherish each other even more."
Sebastian nodded. "I understand. I can tell that you've thought about this very thoroughly, Mr. Trevino."
