True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 2237

Heinz couldn't say anything more after Sebastian's retort.

He just smiled at looked at his son subtly.

Sebastian went to the living room and sat down in a seat at the sofa, facing the dining area.

Claudia didn't seem to have much reaction from the turns of events. She continued eating as if all of that had nothing to do with her.

Sebastian frowned at the sight of her munching away with such good appetite, and there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Just then, his stomach made a grumbling sound.

The frown on his forehead increased.

He had left the dining table to avoid the conversation, so he hadn't eaten properly. As he looked at Claudia enjoying her meal so much, he felt even more depressed.

If he had known that would happen earlier, he would have eaten more. It was such a pity to waste such delicious food.

Unaware of it, his eyes were fixed on one spot in the dining area.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Heinz noticed his gaze, which looked loving somehow.

He raised his brows subtly and looked at Grace.

Grace found it weird too, so she winked at Heinz, trying to ask him what was going on.

Heinz took a look at Sebastian again and then back at her. It was clear what he was implying.

Grace had no choice but to follow his gaze, and she realized that Sebastian was staring into the dining area blankly.

From the look of it, she knew that he did not have his fill. She knew how great his appetite was and he would usually eat more, and he only had so little to eat that day.

What was more, Sebastian was still in puberty, so it was normal for him to have a large appetite.

However, he ate too little that day. It was evident that there was something wrong, and it might be related to Claudia's appearance.

Grace quietly withdrew her gaze and glanced at Claudia.

Claudia so happened to have raised her head and she met Grace and Heinz's eyes. She smiled and said, "Aunt Smith, Uncle Jones, I don't think Little Jones ate much. He is still in puberty. Having such little food wouldn't be enough."

Claudia's tone was unhurried, and her voice was neither loud nor low, but Sebastian could hear what she said.

He froze, withdrew his gaze, and pretended not to hear their conversation while he sat in the living room.

Claudia also happened to glance at him and noticed that slight change.

"Indeed, he didn't eat much," Grace said in a low voice, matter of factly. "He may be a little shy today. He usually eats a lot. Although he went to the sofa, I guess his stomach should be growling now."

"I think he is still hungry too. He indeed ate very little today," Sylvia spoke unexpectedly, agreeing to the fact that Sebastian didn't eat much.

"Is it because I'm here for dinner today?" Claudia glanced at Heinz, Grace, and Sylvia, and blinked her eyes.

She could tell that Heinz and Grace had no intention of calling Sebastian back to the dining table.

Claudia pointed to herself and said, "Do you want me to call him over to have some more food?"

"There's no need for that," Heinz said, "He won't come even if we do. That is just how he is." "Perhaps he's just shy." Claudia smiled and said, "Uncle Jones, Aunt Smith, meals here are delicious. If I keep coming over for dinner, wouldn't Little Jones starve every time?"

"He chose it for himself. No one can stop him from starving." Heinz smiled and said, "Claudia, you are welcome to come over for dinner as often as you like."

"That's right. Do come often. The more, the merrier. We will surely welcome you." Sylvia agreed. Excitedly, she said, "Perhaps Sebastian would overcome his shyness. He couldn't keep starving himself, right?"

Sylvia's voice was a little loud, so naturally, Sebastian heard her.

He got up immediately and went upstairs, ignoring his parents.

Claudia raised her head and saw his figure disappearing at the stairs quickly.

Was he running away?

Claudia opened her mouth slightly and found it hard to believe that he had slipped away after saying he would be in the living room just a while ago. Her surprised expression also attracted the attention of Heinz and Grace. Following Claudia's line of sight, they turned to see that their son had left, and were also a little surprised.

Heinz said, "He must be embarrassed after hearing our conversation, so he had to go upstairs."

"What should we do? Should we send him some food?" Claudia suggested, testing the water.

Sylvia immediately shook her head. "Well, I won't go. I don't want to be scolded by him if he is in a bad mood. He could be quite fierce."

She continued to shake her head, determined not to send food to her brother.

Claudia looked at Heinz and then looked at Grace, who was pregnant. She could only take the initiative.to offer, "I'm not afraid of him losing his temper at me, so why don't bring it to him?"

"I think you're the best choice," Heinz said, "You're a guest and a lady, so he wouldn't dare to get mad at you."

Claudia was surprised at Heinz agreeing for her to bring food to Sebastian.

Doubts arose in her heart. It was a part of being a policewoman, so her senses were sharper than ordinary people. She couldn't help but to feel weird at Heinz's suggestion.

He must have some other intention behind it.

Was he testing her? Or, was it something else?

Claudia looked at Heinz suspiciously and happened to see him looking at her as well. She immediately smiled faintly and hid her doubts.

She acted as if nothing had happened, trying to appear calm and collected under his gaze.

Inside, Heinz was shocked at how good she was at keeping calm too. She was still so young, yet she could hold her composure in such a situation. She must have a bright future ahead of her.

"Claudia, you don't have to bring food to him. It's all right for him to starve a little. Don't trouble yourself. Just finish your food." Heinz smiled faintly.

"It's no big deal, Uncle Jones. I still think it's better to send him something to eat. We don't want him to starve. Plus, I was the one who started all this, or he wouldn't have been so shy."

"This is why you should come over more often," he replied.

"Wouldn't he keep starving if I continue to come over?"

"Don't worry. He'll slowly get used to it, and stop being embarrassed," said Heinz.

"My dad's right, Claudia. Your existence is needed for Sebastian to get over being shy. You should go up and send him some food. I'll take you to his room."

Sylvia stood up immediately, filled

two plates full with food, and

handed one to Claudia while she held the other one. "Mom, dad, I'm taking Claudia upstairs to bring these food to Sebastian. Don't worry about your dear Sebastian Starving with Claudia around."

"All right." Heinz gave Claudia an encouraging smile.

Claudia was surprised at Heinz's response. It was as if he wasn't repulsed against the idea of her getting to know Sebastian.

She guessed that he could understand the affection she had for Sebastian with that amount of life experiences he had.

However, if he knew, how could he still act that way? She was still surprised.

With no time to think, she went upstairs with Sylvia, holding the dishes in her hands.

On the stairs, Claudia lowered her voice and asked, "Do you have any idea what your parents are hinting at?"

"I don't know." Sylvia shook her head and lowered her voice too. The two of them whispered as they walked don't know what is going on either, but I think all's well. At least my father is not against you getting close to Sebastian, right?"

"However, I've already decided to give up on him," said Claudia. "What?" Sylvia cried out and almost dropped the plate on the stairs. "Shh! Keep it down. You're embarrassing me." Claudia reminded.
