Chapter 2236
Everyone looked at Claudia with wide eyes and then at Sebastian as she said that, and Sebastian was back at choking by her words. Sebastian's expression turned ugly, and he looked up at Claudia with shock in his eyes.
What she said before was already surprising, but her words then were even more surprising.
Claudia had definitely done it on purpose.
Sebastian knew that she would be that kind to let him off the hook, but he didn't expect she would go as far as to mock herself.
She was so good at it that he wasn't sure how to deal with it either.
He didn't know how to respond to her.
However, Sebastian's expression changed slightly too. There were too many emotions flashing through his eyes as he looked at Claudia without saying a word.
Her face was small, and intelligence was sparkling in her bright eyes, despite her looking tired with her bloodshot eyes.
Her long, smooth hair was in a simple ponytail, which made her look extremely beautiful.
His heart somehow skipped a beat, so much so that even his expression changed. He immediately lowered his head and stopped looking at her. Claudia was confused, seeing how silent and weird he was. She couldn't guess what was on his mind.
Without saying anything else, she lowered her head and continued to eat.
Heinz and Grace exchanged a look with each other again and smiled.
They liked her, who never put on airs or pretend to be someone she wasn't. She was quite adorable.
Grace looked at Claudia, noticing that she was really hungry. She was eating a lot. Therefore, she urged Sylvia, "Sylvia, get some soup for Claudia." She was pregnant then, and her stomach was too big. It was not convenient for her to get up and sit back down, so she asked her daughter for help to look out for Claudia.
At that time, Heinz said, "Sylvia, you should just sit there. You're always not careful. Sebastian, you're better. Get a bowl of soup or Claudia." Sebastian frowned with many emotions in his eyes as he was being told to do something again. What was his father doing?
He had already stopped talking. Why did Heinz still want him to do things for her?
Glancing at his father, Sebastian had many doubts.
What was Heinz trying to do?
Was Heinz trying to pair him up with an old woman?
He couldn't be for real, could he?
Heinz looked at Sebastian, smiled, and said calmly, "You're more suited for it, so hurry up. You're taller, your arms are longer and you are steadier than her. Do you want your sister to do it?"
Sebastian wanted to say, "What's wrong with having her do it? She's wasn't all that clumsy or short."
Sylvia was in fact quite tall for a girl.
At that moment, Claudia said, "There's no need. Uncle Jones, I can do it myself."
As she spoke, she stood up and filled a bowl of soup herself. She got up from her seat and ran over to Sebastian. "Little Jones, let me get you a bowl of soup too. I noticed you don't have any in front of you. You can have it first. Don't be shy."
Sebastian was stunned. He watched as Claudia came over to his seat and served him a bowl of soup. He frowned as he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It wouldn't be good if he didn't accept it.
If he was impolite, Grace would surely be mad at him.
If he accepted it, wouldn't it mean he admitted that he liked being taken care of?
In the split second that he was struggling and hesitating, she took the soup and extended it towards him.
He took it almost subconsciously, and the manners that were instilled in him made him clear his throat and he said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Claudia patted Sebastian on the shoulder.
He froze and almost spilled the soup in his bowl.
The place where she patted him was burning for no reason, and the temperature was suddenly rising.
He was so stiff that he didn't dare to move, as if his shoulders that she touched were burned.
Moreover, her hand was still on his shoulder, and it was getting hotter and hotter.
When Sebastian looked up to meet Claudia's gaze, she suddenly withdrew her hand.
He didn't know if it was because of the look he gave her that she retracted her hand or not, but she did withdraw her hand then.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Without it, his shoulders were still burning, and the heat was still lingering on his shoulder.
However, it felt as his heart had been emptied, as if something was taken from it.
It became empty.
That was all he felt at that moment.
Sebastian Suddenly looked at
Claudia and saw that she had already returned to her seat with a smile. Then, she filled a bowl of soup for herself and started to drink it.
There was a strange and inexplicable feeling in his heart.
He never expected to feel such a complex feeling. The soup was still in his hands as he had forgotten to place it down.
At that time, everyone's eyes were on him and the bowl of soup in his hands.
Sebastian also seemed to have noticed that. He immediately looked up and saw everyone looking at him.
No.
Everyone was looking at the bowl of soup in his hands.
Sebastian was stunned. What did they mean?
His face turned red again, but he didn't want everyone to see his gaffe, so he said, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
After being asked that question,
Grace asked, "Why are you in a daze? Why aren't you drinking the soup? You're the one who is acting strange by staring at the soup.
His face turned redder. Was he being that obvious?
Heinz naturally chimed in, "I was about to ask the same. Why are you in a daze? We can all see it clearly. Why don't you explain to us?"
"I am not in a daze," Sebastian denied almost outright.
Sylvia laughed, "Who are you trying to fool? You are basically admitting it already."
"Sylvia," Sebastian said in a low voice.
Claudia was still eating. She didn't. expect everyone else to target Sebastian so directly, making her feel more sorry for him. Wasche
being ostracized by his family?
Sylvia was gloating at Sebastian's situation. She said, "Go on. I'm all ears to hear your explanation."
Sebastian wore an unnatural expression on his gloomy face.
He was deeply annoyed. Why should he answer
her? He was embarrassed then.
"I have nothing to say," Sebastian said again.
Heinz raised his eyebrows and smiled. No one knew the reason why.
However, Sebastian felt uncomfortable at Sylvia's words.
He drank the bowl of soup in one gulp, stood up, and said, "I'm full. Please enjoy yourselves."
"Leaving halfway during meals is not permitted in our household," Heinz said.
Sebastian stopped in his tracks. Heinz had always left during meals, so how could he say that to him then?
He just smiled and said, "Dad, I'm not leaving. I'll be in the living room. Enjoy your meal."
