Chapter 2192


    "If love could be won over so easily, would I just sit back and watch?" Chigo smiled bitterly.


    It was exactly that he understood love couldn''t be forced that he didn''t act rashly.


    Sylvia''s feelings and stance were evident with how his hairb incident ended.


    He shouldn''t continue to pester her like that; it was inappropriate.


    Sebastian felt bad for him. If Kendrix put in half the effort Chigo did, he wouldn''t be this upset.


    Meanwhile, udia continued with her shopping while the guys whispered behind her.


    udia turned around inadvertently to see they were muttering to each other. However, she could only idle as their voices were too soft for her to eavesdrop, and she, of course, didn''t dare to make it obvious she was listening to them.


    But she bet no matter what they were talking about, it definitely had to do with Sylvia and Kendrix. Otherwise, it would''ve been a wasted trip for Chigo, wouldn''t it?


    "Sebastian, I remember you used to think highly of


    Kendrix. Howe you''ve suddenly changed sides?" Chigo smiled as he looked at Sebastian with curiosity.


    Stumped by his question, Sebastian got a little embarrassed as he had forgotten about Chigo until his recent return.


    Perhaps it was because they hadn''t kept in touch for years.


    If Chigo hadn''t contacted him recently, he probably had forgotten entirely about him.


    But he had to admit, Chigo''s return got him thinking Sylvia probably needed a caring boyfriend and not an arrogant man like Kendrix.


    That was why Sebastian switched sides, wanting to set Sylvia up with Chigo.


    However, he didn''t expect Chigo to doubt his past support toward Kendrix.


    He knew there was no need to hide anything in front of an intelligent person.


    Since Chigo had seen through him, there was no reason for him to be secretive, no?


    Sebastian smiled and said, "I did think Mr. Trevino was a rare talent, plus Sylvia was infatuated with him, so I thought it wasn''t a bad idea for him to be my brother-inw. But after you came back, and I saw the effort you put into the hairb you gave Sylvia, I wavered and thought you''d suit her better." He wasn''t exactly lying, speaking from the bottom of his heart, being rather honest.


    Chigo could naturally tell that. He smiled and said, "If my guess is correct, you''ve long forgotten about me, haven''t you?"


    Sebastian quirked his lips, embarrassed. "Yeah, I''m not going to lie; we haven''t been in contact for so long, I''ve started to forget about you."


    "Though I know you''re just telling the truth, hearing it still hurts. You actually forgot about me, my overbearing existence. Ah, my heart!" Chigo joked; thoughining, his expression was one of benevolence.


    "I still didn''t hurt you as bad as Sylvia did, no?" Sebastian retorted with a chuckle.


    "Yeah." Chigoughed. "She really gave me a scar this time."


    Sebastian smiled too, but there was a hint of worry in it.


    Chigo probably wouldn''t be able to get what he wanted in the end.


    "What about you? What''s going on between you and Miss Loris?" Chigo asked innocently when he noticed there seemed to be some tension between the two.


    He had always thought being the gentleman Sebastian was, he wouldn''t be rude to udia, but here they were.


    Moreover, their conversations were filled with hostility, which baffled Chigo, finding it nuanced.


    It wasn''t impossible for it to be romantic ambiguity, but they were quite a few years apart. However, he also thought there might be more than just what he was seeing.


    Just then, udia looked over at Sebastian, seemingly in thought.


    Her gaze was one of brilliance and stirring at that.


    Seeing Chigo look toward udia, in addition to his question, Sebastian immediately felt annoyed and


    retorted, Who knows what''s on that woman''s mind? She''s crazy, going against me all the time." "All the time?" Chigo pulled a suggestive smile.


    Stumped, Sebastian exined immediately, "No, not really. We had a brief meeting once, and she suddenly stayed over at my house because of her cousin and my sister."


    "Of course, my brothers and I didn''t oppose her staying over. Anyway, it ended with us trying to set Kendrix up with Sylvia."


    "But why does it feel like Miss Loris is looking at you like you''re a prey?" Chigo smiled as he joked. "My money''s on her having a crush on you."


    Sebastian narrowed his eyes, and his expression froze for a split second.


    "Chigo, this is not funny at all. I''m still underage."


    "I thought it was a little strange, knowing 4 shouldn''t think so. But now I''m certain she has a crush on you in all probability." Chigo said with a smile. "Look at yourself; you''re nervous." Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    "I''m not." Sebastian denied. "Besides, even if she does, I won''t like a woman like her. She''s much older than me."


    "Do you think age is a problem?" Chigo pressed on.


    "Is age not a problem?" Sebastian retorted.


    "If anything, I don''t think you should worry about such mundane things. Besides, you''ve always been unadulterated ever since you''re a child, never one to care about what others think."


    Sebastian lowered his gaze, silent.


    Taking a gander at him, Chigo continued, "But you''re acting very abnormal toward Miss Loris; have you ever thought about that?"


    Chigo wanted to remind him not to overly conceal his true feelings.


    Blood drained from Sebastian''s face as his heart skipped a beat. Was he acting that strange?


    Besides, he truly only had antipathy toward udia.


    No, he definitely didn''t have any other feelings for her.


    Sebastian shook his head firmly, telling Chigo, "I don''t have any feelings for that woman, and I''ve never thought about it either. At least, my mind isn''t on that for now."


    "I see." Chigo nodded and said, "I


    remember you''ve always been ambitious. Though I''m no winner at this, I still agree that a career is more important for a man. Without a career we


    we won''t be able to secure our love. However, if we focus too much on our career, well wave our chance at love goodbye." Content

    And he was the embodiment of this paradox, leaving Northern City for years for his career only to learn the adorable girl had be someone else''s


    at his return.


    He had always thought she was his, but she was now entirely out of his reach.


    Perhaps this was life. Always so unpredictable and unexpecting, yet unchangeable.


    Too many things beyond control.


    Being the intelligent guy Sebastian was, he naturally understood Chigo''s advice at once.


    He thought he definitely wasn''t as Chigo described, not worrying at all since his feeling toward udia was not one of romance.


    "In any case, my future girlfriend will definitely not be someone like udia," Sebastian said confidently.
