Chapter 2185


    "If you say so." Chigo looked at udia with a cryptic gaze before turning back to Sylvia with a hint of yfulness in his eyes.


    Sylvia thought his gaze was too profound, and she fell silent, frowning.


    Looking at the two with interest, udia could tell Chigo was into Sylvia.


    The girl sure was a stunner.


    udia still didn''t know how things were going with Kendrix. But seeing he had such a strong romantic rival, she couldn''t help feeling worried for her cousin.


    She wondered if he could still remain calm and indifferent if he knew of Chigo''s existence.


    "Chigo, this is Mr. Trevino''s cousin, udia." Sebastian introduced.


    Shocked, udia looked over at Sebastian in confusion.


    If Sebastian introduced her as Kendrix''s cousin, it meant that Chigo knew of Kendrix''s existence, didn''t it?


    If that was the case, things would get tricky.


    Turning back to Chigo, she noticed he was looking at her with a smile, and there was a hint of smile buried deep beneath his eyes.


    His handsome face was one of calmness as if there was nothing wrong. However, udia could feel a menacing intent surging within his gaze. With a slightly quirked brow, she stared right at Chigo.


    Chigo smiled and said, "Oh, so you''re Mr. Trevino''s cousin."


    "You happen to know Kendrix, Mr. Robinson?" udia retorted with a smile; her eyes never left Chigo''s.


    She wanted to find the sense of hostility in Chigo''s eyes, but there wasn''t any.


    Even though his gaze was menacing, evident still no matter how he tried to suppress it, it wasn''t hostility.


    "Oh, I do," Chigo said, "I got to know him by chance. He''s an outstanding man, no doubt about that; I didn''t expect his cousin to be the same." "You tter me, Mr. Robinson," udia smiled and said modestly.


    "You''re being too modest, Miss Loris," Chigo said, "You''re a top-notch beauty." "Thank you," udia smiled and said, "It is an honor to be called beautiful; you satisfy my vanity. However, I''d rather be praised for what''s on the inside."


    "And I can tell, with that, you have a great personality," Chigo gave a wless reply, "So it''s no exaggeration to say you''re just as outstanding as your cousin."


    Quirking her brows, udia wasn''t too surprised but growing worried.


    This man was no less inferior to Kendrix at all.


    He was sharp, modest, handsome, and a conversationalist, far better than her introverted cousin.


    A person like him was more likely to win a girl''s heart.


    Taking a gander at Sylvia, she turned back to Chigo and said, "Though I''m happy to be praised, I still have to say, I know how good I am, and I''m not being modest, just afraid that someone can''t see the good in me."


    She gave Sebastian a cryptic nce as she said so.


    Chigo could sense an unusual atmosphere at once from that look.


    And he followed her line of sight.


    Sebastian frowned, and a look of displeasure shed across his handsome face.


    udia blinked, then smiled, looking straight into Sebastian''s eyes, challenging him.


    She wanted him to know she knew he was the one who told Chigo toe over.


    It seemed that Sebastian had switched sides.


    That was probably it, from the looks of it.


    udia heaved a sigh of worry within, feeling troubled for her cousin.


    It seemed that she''d have to text Kendrix, or how would he know Chigo was going after Sylvia as well.


    "C''mon, aren''t we still shopping." Sylvia held udia''s arm and told Chigo, "Chigo, we''ll go shop; you can talk to Sebastian."


    With that, she walked forward with udia, not giving the guys a chance to speak.


    After taking a few steps, udia whispered to Sylvia, "What''s going on? Don''t tell me you''ve fallen for someone else."


    "Excuse you." Sylvia almostughed out of annoyance. "Do I not look like the unyielding type?"


    "Yeah," udia agreed solemnly. "A little wavering."


    Annoyed, Sylvia frowned. "I think I need to reassess what kind of person you are. Which part of me made you think that way?"


    "He said it himself; you wanted to marry him when you were a child. But look at you now; you''ve fallen for Kendrix instead. Tell me that''s unyielding." udia whispered, tittering. "Though I have to admit, can understand if you no longer want to put your attention on my cousin the moment I saw Chigo. After all, he looks like an outstanding man himself. I don''t see why you wouldn''t choose him." Content

    "Why? Do you not have faith in Kendrix?" Sylvia asked, "Or, do you not have any faith in me?"


    "You, a little, but Kendrix, none at all. Have you two been talking?" udia wanted to know if her cousin still had a fighting chance.


    Sylvia didn''t tell udia she was already seeing Kendrix.


    She thought it should be kept a secret.


    Not that she was paranoid, but she only wanted to protect Kendrix.


    Sylvia mulled over all her father had said to her that night.


    If their rtionship affected Kendrix, she would hate herself for the rest of her life.


    So it was better to keep their rtionship a secret for now.


    "Why aren''t you talking?" udia frowned, growing anxious seeing Sylvia silent. She really wanted to know if things worked out for the two of them. "Have you not been in contact with him at all?"


    "We do talk from time to time," Sylvia told her that.


    It was indeed the case. Though they mostly texted and video chatted, it wasn''t every day.


    After all, Kendrix wasn''t avable 24/7.


    So her reply wasn''t exactly a lie.


    "So you two


    are still keeping in


    touch?" udia was a little


    surprised. "That''s news. Kendrix


    didn''t tell me you two had been in et


    contact when I called him. Do you know how worried I am for both of you? I keep telling him to treasure the chance, but he still never said anything about talking to you."


    "Oh, c''mon, as if you don''t know what kind of person he is." Sylvia smiled as she said.


    "You''re right; be''s such a smolderingContent bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    ember. No way he''d tell me that." udia pouted. "What about you? What exactly are your thoughts? The guy who has been fixing his eyes on us seems to be deeply infatuated with you."


    "Can you not make it sound so creepy?" Sylvia said, "Chigo likes to joke around, but I know exactly what I want." "Yeah, yeah, you only have eyes for


    Kendrix."


    "Then why ask?"


    "Isn''t it that I''m worried you''d walk away with another man." udia said, "Plus, he''s no less inferior than my cousin."
