True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 2161

Chigo's words were so direct.

William had to hand it to Chigo for his courage, looking at the fellow with a smile.

Chigo was a kid raised by soldiers. He had the attitude of one, making him a straightforward person with a clear goal; realizing he had a rival in love, he acted accordingly.

Willian thought Chigo might be a better fit for Sylvia rather than Kendrix, who vacillated.

Comparing it now, he preferred the young man in front of him.

However, Sylvia didn't look the slightest interested in Chigo as her eyes were on Kendrix.

But William thought she should give Chigo a chance.

After all, Chigo deserved it for being courageous; no one could ignore that about him.

Everybody liked the brave, so William thought that if he could create a chance for Chigo, the situation might go in his favor.

He said to Chigo, "Chigo, let Sylvia keep you company. Butler, push me back to my room; I have to take my medication." "Yes, Sir."

The butler quickly came over and pushed William away.

They didn't give Sylvia nor Chigo a chance to refuse.

Chigo smiled as he watched them leave before turning to Sylvia. They had the living room to themselves now.

She felt goosebumps all over her body under his gaze. It was as if she had made a mistake and was under judgment.

The next second, Chigo spoke, "There's something I've been meaning to ask you, but I didn't dare say it in front of everyone earlier today."

"What is it?" A bad feeling arose in her heart, and her face turned pale.

"Have you actually forgotten you said you wanted to marry me when you grow up?"

"I-" Sylvia wanted to tell him she was just a child back then, and she didn't know what she was saying, so he shouldn't take it to heart.

But he interrupted her, "Don't use the excuse of you were just a child, and you didn't know what you were saying. You may not have taken it seriously, but shouldn't you be responsible for making me think that way?" "What?!" Dumbfounded, Sylvia looked at him wide-eyed.

Chigo was also an outstanding, handsome young man.

He was about the same type as Kendrix as they were both stunning men.

And he was a graduate of a military school, and he had a bright future ahead of him.

But none of it mattered to Sylvia.

She felt somewhat awkward at the moment, thinking she was a player. How could she have said such autocratic things to Chigo? And with a commanding tone at that.

It was as if she was a pirate, kidnapping a man to be her husband.

Recalling it now, Sylvia felt embarrassed, unable to accept the fact she had done all that.

And here he was using her words against her.

She twitched her lips in awkwardness, saying, "I can't believe you still remember something from so long ago."

"Why shouldn't I? Are you just going to get up and leave after flirting with me, Sylvia?" Chigo retorted as he quirked his brow.

"When have I flirted with you?" She thought the conversation was heading toward a rather horrifying path.

One little mistake, and she might cause a misunderstanding.

"You used to say you'd come riding on your white horse to marry me when you grow up. You even forbade me from getting a girlfriend; that's why I never had one even though I had many suitors in college."

"Because I've been waiting for the girl and her white horse. But then I realized things were going south, so I came to see if she still remembered her promise to me."

"If she has, I can jog her memory. I pride myself on my good memory."

Chigo spoke with a firm tone and a smile on his face. However, Sylvia thought the smile was horrifying, gentle yet deadly.

Stumped, she stuttered, "I-I'm still a kid, Chigo. How can you say all that to me."

"A kid?" Chigo said with a smile, "You've already in high school, Sylvia. I just have one question for you; do you admit to saying all that in the past?" "I did, but-"

He cut her off, "In that case, things would be much easier. I was afraid you would deny them."

"I was just a child back then. Even if I said all that, you don't have to take it to heart."

"But the problem is I've taken it seriously." Chigo chuckled, "What do you propose we do now?"

"What should we do?" she muttered.

If she knew what to do, she would be in such a dilemma now.

It was hard being attractive, she thought.

She had some resentment against herself.

Why did she say those words back then?!

She had already forgotten what she said, but he still remembered them. She hated the fact that she had dug her own grave.

"C'mon, let's go on a walk," Chigo suggested, "I don't bite, so you don't have to be nervous."

Stumped, Sylvia subconsciously wanted to shake her head. She didn't want to go out.

"You don't want to go?" he asked.

"I don't." She shook her head immediately.

Smiling, Chigo said, "Well, we can sit here and wait for your parents to come downstairs. We can talk about it with them; maybe they can give you some suggestions as to how to fulfill your promise." "Alright, alright. I'll go." She stood up.

No way she'd want her parents to know about this.

She thought she had become a two-timer right then.

She was in love with Kendrix. If she knew she would fall in love with him, she wouldn't have said such things to Chigo. Moreover, she had only ever made that promise to him.

It was exasperating just thinking about it.

But she had no one else to blame but herself.

Seeing Sylvia leaving the house reluctantly, Chigo smiled happily.

"You would always come to my house when you're in the area. Since when did you stop?" he asked.

Stumped, Sylvia tried recalling. When?

By the time he left for college, it seemed.

"I didn't expect so many things to change in the four years I was away." He sighed, helplessness filled his tone, yet there was a hint of

resolution in it. "But not for of ne

long.

After my masters, I'll have all the time."

Sylvia kept her head low, silent.

She genuinely didn't know what to say, thinking anything coming out of her mouth would only make things awkward.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The two of them walked down the path she had taken earlier.

She never said a word throughout their stroll, walking next to Chigo.

And he didn't seem to mind.

Just as they reached the corner where they bumped into each other, Chigo said, "Sylvia, you're a smart girl. You've always known what you wanted and what suited you best since you were a kid. But I noticed you've changed in the last four years; you don't know what you want anymore, do you?

"I still do." Sylvia denied. She knew exactly what she wanted.
