Chapter 2272


    Sebastian still fixed his dull gaze on udia, as if he was trying his best to chew over something.


    udia gave a grin. "Don''t look at me with such an expression. Whether you agree or not, you can''t change the fact that sometimes, you''re too bashful to admit that you like a girl. What do you think?"


    As udia spoke, she winked at him with an impish expression.


    It made Sebastian be absent-minded again.


    "What? Are you dumbfounded? Have you not seen a beauty before?" Perceiving that he seemed to be preupied, udia was curious and amused.


    Although she was pretty conceited to consider herself a beauty, her heart had been filled with self-deprecation and disappointment.


    Even if she was beautiful, so what?


    Anyhow, he was not tempted by her, and that was the most heartbreaking thing.


    Sebastian also came to his senses immediately and averted his eyes from udia.


    However, he still said, "Your inference is wrong this time." "Wrong?" udia was staggered again. With a pucker between her eyebrows, she questioned him, "Tell me where I''m wrong. Let me see if it makes sense so that I can improve."


    Sebastian ruminated for a bit and felt that there were some things that needed to be rified. "Firstly, the girl who was with me at the dessert shop today is my ssmate. We have a school project to discuss, thus we didn''t meet up for a date."


    "Oh!" udia nodded, but it was apparent from her expression that she did not believe what he said.


    In udia''s view, many people, who were about the same age as Sebastian and the girl, would not admit that they were dating.


    After all, they were just boys and girls, which was understandable.


    Meanwhile, Sebastian thought, "What kind of expression is that?"


    It was in that she did not believe his words. Sebastian gritted his teeth, and his eyes were full of anger, but he managed to hold back.


    He said again, "Secondly, she isn''t my cup of tea."


    "Is she not your cup of tea?" udia was a little surprised. "Then what kind of girl is your cup of


    tea?"


    There was a sentence that he almost blurted out, but he just pursed his lips and said nothing atst.


    There were indeed some words that could not be spoken.


    "Look at yourself, you don''t even know what kind of girl you like. In fact, it''s probably not that you don''t know, but that you''re too shy to admit it." udia could tell from his expression that he was too embarrassed to admit it.


    udia gave a knowing smile.


    Seeing that, Sebastian felt really helpless.


    He gnashed his teeth and said, "You''re right. I''m really too shy to admit it."


    "There you go." udia put on an "I- knew- it" expression.


    Looking at her, Sebastian frowned so hard.


    Just when he was about to say something, a car came to a halt beside them.


    "udia."


    Following that, a gruff male voice came from the car.


    In the next second, a tall figure emerged from the car. It was a policeman, who was in his uniform. From the looks of it, he was about the same age as udia.


    "Hey, Cordon, why are you here?" As soon as udia saw the man, she hurried over and beamed at him sweetly.


    Sebastian''s face froze.


    Suddenly, he found her expression a little maddening.


    A nce was enough to drive him up the wall as he hated to see udia smiling at another man. It was too irritating to him.


    "What a coincidence. When I saw you just now, I thought it wasn''t you, so I turned the car around to confirm it. It''s only when Ie closer that I realize it''s really you." Cordon looked at udia with a grin. "Are you shopping with your brother?"


    Taking a gander at Sebastian, as well as the desserts and cake in his hands, Cordon gave him a new identity, which would be the younger brother of udia.


    udia did not try to exin, she just nodded and said to Cordon, "I came out to get desserts. What about you? What have you been up to?"


    "I just got off work." Cordon replied, "I''m here to buy something. I didn''t expect to bump into you. How is it? Have you t tidied up everything? Can you starting to work


    tomorrow?" "Of course." udia


    nodded. "Everything has almost been done. It''s time for med go to work. My boss gave me two days after I reported to duty. I''ve already finished tidying up. I''m going to have a celebration today before start working tomorrow."


    "A celebration?" Cordon smiled at udia and said, "For moving to Northern City?"


    "That''s right." udia nodded. "I''ve just gotten a new living ce and a new working unit. How can I not celebrate it?"


    "That isn''t very nice of you, udia. In any case, we are ssmates. Howe you didn''t invite me to the celebration of your new home?"


    "Haha, I thought you have to work


    overtime today." udia burst intoughter quickly and did not feel awkward at all. "If you want to join, it isn''t toote yet. I just bought the cake, and there are some food at home. However, to be honest, I''ve ordered takeout instead of cooked myself. Is that fine by you?" Content

    "How can we have a celebration without cooking? You need to cook something today because it''s a herald of good fortune," Cordon said, "How about


    we make a roast turkey? Well, let your brother go back first. I''ll take you to buy some ingredients for it."


    As he spoke, Cordon cast a nce at Sebastian.


    Sebastian narrowed his eyes while staring at Cordon with a sharper look.


    Cordon thought he had seen it wrongly, wondering why the boy was staring at him with such sharp gaze.


    He smiled and said, "Buddy, I''ll hail a taxi for you. You can go back first. I''ll take your sister to buy something."Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    The corners of udia''s lips twitched as she wanted to exin it.


    However, Cordon took the initiative to speak again, "As it happens, there''s a taxiing."


    As he spoke, Cordon helped Sebastian to hail a taxi.


    He also went to tell the driver in person that someone needed a taxi over there.


    At that moment when they were left on their own, udia said, "This is my ssmate. Go to my ce first by the taxi. I''m going to buy some food ingredients."


    "I don''t even know where your home is. How dare you ask me to leave by a taxi first?" Sebastian asked. Then, he looked in Cordon''s direction and said coldly, "Your ssmate is really making himself at home."


    The corners of udia''s lips twitched again. "Yes, he''s on good terms with everyone, very friendly."


    "Don''t you think he''s a little too friendly?" There was a note of sarcasm in Sebastian''s tone.


    "Too friendly?" udia blinked. "It''s fine by me, I don''t think so. If you don''t want to go to my ce by yourself, you can go back to your home first. Just put the desserts and cake in his car."


    "Are you driving me away?" Sebastian nced at udia before giving a mischievous smile. The curve of his lips was quite sharp. "It won''t be that easy to drive me away."


    "I did want to drive you away."


    udia answered, "In fact, it boils down to one thing. We don''t know each other very well. It''s embarrassing when you insist on going to my ce. You even made


    that


    my ssmate misun feel


    we''re siblings. To put it bluntly, I feel very awkward."


    "In my opinion, there''s nothing to feel awkward about as long as I don''t tell your ssmate that you used to like me before. If you don''t mind, I think


    it''s okay to tell him," said Sebastian.


    udia was struck dumb right away.


    "What... what did you say?"


    "What? Are you afraid that I will break the news to your ssmate?" Sebastian asked again.


    udia discovered that Sebastian had been behaving in such an unusual manner on that day that she was taken aback and puzzled.


    "Are you out of you mind?"


    "Why? Are you scared that I''ll spoil your n?" Sebastian kept on making snarky remarks.


    udia''s eyes widened.


    Concurrently, Cordon waved his hand while calling out to them, "Buddy,e here quickly. I''ve told the driver to send you back."


    Sebastian threw a nce at Cordon and said something that was only audible to udia and himself.


    "He is really an opinionated guy." Sebastian sneered, "He doesn''t even know the basic respect towards people."


    His words had gotten under udia''s skin. She felt that Sebastian obviously looked down on Cordon. After all, Cordon was her ssmate.


    udia didn''t like it when someone insulted her ssmate.


    She smirked and riposted, "Yes, the basic respect. Not everyone put in into actions. I''ve already rejected you, yet you still want to follow me. Don''t


    you think you''ve gone too far?"


    He shot a frosty look at udia and answered indifferently, "I don''t think so."
