True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 2280

Sebastian knew that his actions were too abrupt. He was worried that Claudia would not believe him.

After all, he had shown her such a bad attitude earlier. He had scorned her, making her feel embarrassed. However, he had to admit that he had been blinded by jealousy at that time.

As he stood facing Claudia, he no longer felt as high and mighty as before. Instead, he was a little worried.

"Claudia!" He finally mustered up all his courage to call her name.

"If there's something you want to say, just say it. Mind you, I don't quite believe what you say," Claudia spoke quickly.

Sebastian knew that was bound to happen.

He looked at Claudia and noticed that she had her guard up. She looked helpless, and she seemed like she was looking for an opportunity to escape. Perhaps that was what Sebastian deserved. Sebastian thought to himself.

He took a deep breath and said, "I know that whatever I say next will leave you wary and cast doubts in your mind, but I still want you to listen carefully to what I have to say, okay?"

Claudia nodded. "I'll listen to you out of basic courtesy. Just spit it out."

"Claudia," Sebastian began, looking for the right words. He was thinking of how to tell Claudia about his feelings for her.

Previously, he had been struggling with his thoughts and was in doubt.

He did not want to admit that he had fallen in love with her, someone who was several years older than him. However, he could not just watch her leave him. There was also the possibility that she would begin a relationship with another man.

All that was very painful for Sebastian, yet he could not do anything about it. He could not just watch her fall into the arms of another man.

Therefore, he had to make his move.

No! Sebastian thought to himself.

Perhaps he was too late.

However, what else could he do about that. There was no other way. If he did not say it, then it might be too late.

Sebastian took a deep breath and finally said, "I like you. Perhaps even I don't know when I started having feelings for you, but I don't think that it was too long ago.

"I admit that our age difference will be a major obstacle for us.

"I also admit that I thought it'd be embarrassing to have a girlfriend who's a few years older than me.

"However, when I thought about how you might fall into the arms of another man, I got really jealous.

"I was so jealous that I thought I was about to go insane. I just can't bear the thought of you being with someone else, so I decided to confess my feelings."

Claudia's heart was racing to the point that it felt rather uncomfortable.

She was very nervous, but she maintained a calm expression.

Claudia was a little upset that Sebastian still felt that the age gap between them would make things a little awkward.

His words really hurt Claudia.

The more she thought about his words, the colder her expression became.

"Age is a problem that'll always exist between us. It's something that won't go away. What's more, I don't believe a word you said. Do you think that it's

fun to fool with me?"

Sebastian shook his head vehemently. "Of course not! Don't be so anxious to speak. Let me finish first, okay?"

Claudia frowned, then nodded. "Okay, I'll wait for you to finish first. Go on."

She leaned back against the wall so that she could support her trembling body.

Only then could she feel more comfortable.

Claudia did not know if Sebastian was being honest or not. However, her intuition told her not to trust his words so easily.

To be honest, she was a little bit upset.

If Sebastian really did like Claudia, then what was with his attitude earlier? Claudia thought to herself.

He insulted her several times, but now he was telling her that he liked her. Who on earth would believe him? Who would dare believe him?

Claudia's face was cold. She could not bring herself to believe in Sebastian's words.

Looking at Claudia's cold and calm eyes, Sebastian felt frustrated.

It was because Claudia clearly did not believe him.

Sebastian was anxious. He also blamed himself for what he did. It was quite despicable indeed.

There were some things that had to be said clearly face-to-face to earn her trust. Otherwise, she might never believe him again.

"I know you doubt what I said. But, Claudia, I like you. I want to show you my true feelings."

Claudia stared at Sebastian without saying anything.

That time, she wanted to see what he had to say.

"In truth, age is not a problem. I have never been a person who cares what others think. I was just a little worried that my parents would object to it. However, my parents turned out to be very open-minded, and it dispelled some thoughts that I had earlier.

"I know that you'll definitely refute me and think that I'm a mamma's boy.

"I was just feeling very confused, and I didn't know how to express my feelings. In short, it was very complicated.

"What I want to say is that I'm really sorry. I'm sorry for everything in the past."

"Can you give me a chance? A chance for me to pursue you in the future."

"You're still not of age yet. It's too early for us to talk about love now," Claudia replied lightly.

It was probably all because of his attitude.

Sebastian could tell that Claudia was afraid of trusting him. She did not believe his confession at all.

He knew that he needed to show her a more sincere attitude and treat her better in the future.

Sebastian smiled and nodded.

"Indeed. I'm not qualified to pursue

et

you. I thought about taking action after going to college, but I didn't expect that you had already lost your patience. It throws me off a little. Perhaps there was something Wrong with how I expressed myself.

"I just want to let you know my attitude and decisions. I'll pursue you after I finish college.

"I still have over a year left. Before that, I hope that you don't get into a relationship."

"Is this how you show your feelings for me?" Claudia asked.

"If you really want to start a relationship, know that I can't stop you either. But I just want to say that I might not be able to control myself from doing something rash, even though I know that being impulsive is childish."

"How impulsive could you be?" Claudia asked, seeming to provoke him.

Sebastian stared into Claudia's eyes. His gaze shifted from her clear eyes to her lips.

Her rose-colored lips were so tempting.

Claudia's heart skipped a beat. All of a sudden, a strange emotion surged within her.

She looked at Sebastian's

et

handsome face. After a moment's silence, she said lightly, "I can't bring myself to believe you. As you said, you're still too young."

"I'm not young," Sebastian replied in a low voice.

As soon as he said that, everything went quiet.

He gazed at her as if he was staring deep into her soul.

Suddenly, Claudia looked away and bit her lips. From her expression, she seemed a little sad.

"I don't care what you have to say. You understand what I mean." Then, she pursed her lips and added, "I need to go upstairs now. Goodbye."

With that, she walked past Sebastian.

Stunned, he frowned.

Claudia continued to walk forward.

Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her to face him. The force of it caused her to lose her balance and fall into his embrace.

Then, a tender yet unfamiliar kiss fell on her lips.

His aura seemed to drown Claudia.

There were no skills in the kiss. It was a rough touch.

He was treating her so roughly.

Claudia felt that he was stealing her breath away.

At that moment, she felt a sense of imminent danger.

In any case, there was a huge difference in strength between the two of them. It was impossible for her to break free from his embrace.

Moreover, he was quick and nimble.

Even if she risked her life, Claudia had to admit that she was no match for him.

Just like that, he held her in his arms and stole a kiss from her.

It was incredibly intoxicating.

Claudia felt as if she could not breathe any longer.

She could only try to push him away desperately.

It was a new experience for Sebastian. It was a taste of something intoxicating and deadly.

It was a taste that he was willing to die for.

He did not let Claudia go until he was satisfied. He lowered his head and looked at her with a flushed face.

After all, it was the first time he had done something like that, so he had been a little rough.

Claudia was pressed against the wall so hard that even her expression changed.

She glared at Sebastian. "What are you doing?"

Sebastian looked at how badly she was blushing. Her face was beet red. He smiled slightly. "Are you blushing?"

"You're blushing as well," Claudia retorted angrily.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
