True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

However, it was plain that Sebastian was insinuating that Cordon had taken a fancy to Claudia, yet he blamed him for his aggressiveness.

Cordon managed to tell it, but Claudia did not.

Smiling slightly, Cordon said, "I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about hormones. It seems that you have paid a lot of attention to the affairs of hormones."

"I'm very interested in everything." Sebastian replied frivolously, "It isn't only about hormones, but also about dopamine."

Cordon found that Sebastian had the ability to lead the conversation into an end, rendering people speechless in an instant.

He could only smile and change the topic, started chatting with Claudia.

"Claudia, can you go to work tomorrow?"

It was not until Claudia had heard him asking her that she stopped tittering. She tittered until her face had stiffened earlier.

It was so hilarious to think about it.

Claudia found it hard to believe that there was such a side to Sebastian's character.

"Yes, I've to go to work tomorrow definitely. Everything is ready. If I don't go, it'll be too slothful of me."

"I've already cleaned up your office, and I've also helped you to get the working supplies," Cordon said.

"Thank you." Claudia expressed her gratitude right away. "Cordon, it's really convenient for me to have you here."

"Don't mention it. We've been friends for many years." Cordon smiled and replied, "There's no need to stand on formality with me. You'd be regarding me as an outsider if you do."

"No, how would I treat you as an outsider?" With a smile, Claudia continued, "If it weren't for the fact that you're here, I wouldn't have come to work here."

It turned out that she was there for work due to the presence of the man.

Frowning, that handsome face of Sebastian's fell again. He stared at the road ahead with his eyes narrowed.

The imposing aura exuded from him was so palpable.

Claudia and Cordon were both police officers, thus they naturally sensed it.

Nevertheless, neither of them spoke to Sebastian. Cordon clearly felt the strong hostility from Sebastian.

Claudia did not know what to say, especially after the interruption earlier. It gave her a feeling that she really did not know Sebastian well.

Perhaps it was too superficial of her to have been infatuated with him so easily in the past.

Things would get serious whenever it came to relationship, and it was definitely not a matter that could be resolved by just saying "I love you". They had to be responsible for themselves, for each other and toward their relationship. Those were the duties and decorum as an adult.

So, she did not pay much attention to Sebastian's curren state then.

What mystified Claudia was that the more she tried to ignore him, the more he seemed to care about her.

On the contrary, when she appeared in front of him back then, he was pissed.

It seemed that he used to think that she purposely showed up before him in the past. She did not want to appear in front of him anymore then, yet he took the initiative to approach her. What was going on with him?

Had he gone out of his mind? Claudia pondered on that.

Cordon was a classmate and a buddy to her to begin with.

When they were in college, they were good partners and teammates. Claudia always considered Cordon as a good buddy, whom she would not fall in love with.

However, Sebastian, who was next to them, had no clue about her thoughts. He just felt that there was a strong bond between Claudia and Cordon.

It turned out that she was there for him, and it added to the displeasure Sebastian felt.

After a moment of hesitation, he spoke frankly without being polite, "Claudia, did you come to work in Northern City because Officer Andrews is here?"

Claudia was nonplussed briefly. It

never occurred to her that he would

ask her such a question. In response to his question, she quirked her eyebrow and looked at him. Coincidentally, the boy also turned

his head to gaze at her. As their eyes met, she discerned the sparkles in his eyes.

She stared at the boy in surprise while inquiring, "Is there a problem with that?"

Sebastian cast a sidelong glance at

Claudia's face and gave a

bone-chilling smile. "I thought you came to work in Northern City due to someone or something else. I didn't expect Officer Andrews to be the

reason behind it."

"Is there anything wrong with it if I'm the reason?" Cordon asked with a faint smile, detecting the sense of antagonism in Sebastian's words.

Claudia also darted a glance at Cordon. She did not speak, as though she was on the same side with Cordon, which exasperated Sebastian even more.

His lips twitched, and he said, "Of course, there's nothing wrong with it. The two of you are so close. Are you a couple?"

Claudia gasped at once. "Sebastian, what do you mean?"

Sebastian squinted, and his attitude was shown through the bottom of his eyes. He just want to go against her.

He was trying to go against her in every aspect then.

"Not yet. We're still in progress to reach that point."

Cordon answered it quickly with a natural expression. He even took a gander at Claudia through the rear-view mirror, but Claudia had been frightened that she looked a little absent-minded. Cordon cracked a smile. He knew that such answer would give her a fright, but he had no other choices.

He deeply understood that if he did not speak out his feelings, he might fall behind.

The boy in front of him seemed to have a special feeling towards Claudia.

The animosity from him should have stemmed from his feeling towards Claudia.

Perceiving such a threat, how could Cordon just sit by and do nothing?

He could not remain unruffled anymore. All he wanted to do then was to confess to Claudia and get rid of that potential romantic rival.

He intended to rule out a permanent future for Claudia and Sebastian to be lovers before they began liking each other.

Cordon was not a man to be trifled with.

At that moment, his expression had been filled with an extreme gloominess, but he still wore a smile on his face.

Sebastian could tell that the policeman was not easy to be dealt with.

However, the same was for Sebastian himself.

"Oh, I see." Sebastian smiled faintly and said, "It seems that Officer Andrews is very into Claudia."

"Of course." Cordon did not avoid it.

"Anyway, it's a pity!" Sebastian spoke directly, "Claudia confessed her love to me not long ago. Officer Andrews, don't you mind that?"

As soon as he said so, Cordon's expression froze, and even the speed of the car had changed.

It was apparent that he was provoked. Concurrently, Claudia blanched at Sebastian's words, being mortified deeply.

How could he embarrass others like that?

Seeing Claudia's bloodless face,

Cordon felt a slight pain in his heart.

After that, he furrowed his brow, and the sharpness in his eyes became more obvious. "Of course I don't mind. Claudia has the freedom to like anyone, and the fact that you put her in a difficult position before me suggests that you don't care about her. As it happens, what you don't care about is what I cherish."
