Chapter 2263
Sebastian clasped Claudia's wrist with great force, making her frown.
In the light of his strength, she could not move.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Her little face also puckered as she thought, "He is really strong."
Claudia looked up at Sebastian, who lay his hands on her in public's eyes.
Narrowing her eyes, she sneered, "What? Are you trying to take advantage of me publicly? Let me tell you, I'm no longer interested in immature boys like you now."
Upon hearing that, Sebastian furrowed his brow again and thought, "D*mn it, when did I take advantage of you?"
He felt a tide of unpleasant feeling rising in him, but what was more upsetting seemed to be the latter half of Claudia's sentence.
Was she no longer interested in him?
Humph!
Sure enough, she was a fickle girl as she could be infatuated with him and stopped how she felt at will. There was no bottomline to what she would do.
Squinting, he looked down at Claudia. The unhappy pucker in his forehead started to smooth out as he cooled himself down. "Am I taking advantage of you? Who do you think you are?"
His tone was so sarcastic and Claudia surely could sense the coldness in his tone.
"You held my wrist in public. What else could it be if it wasn't to take advantage of me?" Claudia provoked him intentionally, hoping that he would leave in a fit of pique so that it would save everyone a lot of troubles.
However, in fact, things did not go according to her wishes. Sebastian had no intention to leave. On the contrary, he exhibited a resolution to tangle with her.
His handsome face was icy cold as he stared at her with his bloodshot eyes.
Did he have insomnia?
It was only after Claudia got closer that she noticed his bloodshot eyes. Almost subconsciously, she asked, "Did you not sleep well last night?" Sebastian could not keep up with her non-linear thinking. Indeed, he had spent a restless night the night before.
However, he didn't expect her to realize that.
For a moment, he did not know how to respond.
His chest heaved as he fixed his eyes on Claudia, and a hint of complicated emotions flitted across his narrowed eyes.
Claudia noticed that he did not speak, but still gripping her wrist tightly. She was no match for him in terms of strength, especially when he lost control of himself.
He grasped her wrist so tightly then that he almost crushed her bones.
Claudia tried to break free, but to no avail since he was too powerful.
Claudia said, "Sebastian, let go of me first."
Sebastian gave a smirk. "Should I let go of you so that you could find a way to escape?"
"To escape? How dare you describe me like that!" Claudia endured the pain in her wrist and looked into his eyes. "You must have had a sleepless night last night. That's why you're being so irritable, but you can vent your spleen elsewhere. I'm not your punchbag. Must you do this to me?"
Sebastian looked at Claudia, or more precisely, stared at her with a gloomy expression.
Claudia did not give him any chance to think, and she did not even wait for him to speak before continuing, "You behave exactly like you're suffering from insomnia. If you aren't in your right mind at the moment, you'd better go back and take a sleep before we talk about these matters."
It was plain that Sebastian's breathing had become heavier, and there was a growing sulkiness in his eyes as he continued to stare at Claudia. "Well..." There was not a single trace of politeness left in Claudia's tone. She continued to goad him by saying, "There's nothing left to say between us. I'm no longer interested in you now. Sebastian, will you stop pestering me? If you carry on, I don't mind calling the police."
Sebastian's breathing was disrupted again. He was well aware that Claudia said those things deliberately because they could infuriate him.
In order to create an opportunity for Kendrix and Sylvia, Claudia really pulled out all the stops.
Doubtlessly, Sebastian saw through everything.
He narrowed his eyes while gazing at Claudia for a long time before he loosened his grip.
Claudia rubbed her aching wrist, which had reddened.
Claudia lowered her eyes and grinned again, saying, "Taking advantage of a woman isn't what a boy like you should do. You'd better go back and study hard." "Do you think you can incite me into losing my head by saying so? Do you think I would just storm away if I get angry?" With a calm tone, Sebastian spoke word by word, "Let me give you a piece of advice, just save your energy."
Her plan had been seen through.
Claudia was rendered speechless.
He was so smart, which really gave her a headache. Why couldn't he be a knucklehead?
Claudia gave a wry smile. Was that not the reason he caught her fancy? He was an intelligent boy with a pair of prating eyes, capable of reading people's minds effortlessly.
He was overbearing and determined.
She let out a sigh. She had been bickering with him for such a long time, but he was not fooled.
She sighed with disappointment. "Sebastian, why don't you ask yourself if you really care so much about your sister?"
"Of course, my concern for my sister is better than that for an outsider like you by countless times."
"Uh, do you actually care about me? I'm really flattered." Claudia cracked a smile.
Looking at the woman's lively face, Sebastian knitted his brow.
"I have no concern for you." "It
doesn't matter. I still care about you." Claudia was not angry. Without taking notice of his reaction, she said, "Look at your bloodshot eyes. can telfat a glance that you've been cranky all day because you didn't sleep well the entire night. Listen to me, you really should go and get some sleep. Then, you'll find happiness from things around you. Otherwise, you'll be resentful of
everything in sight."

"I'll go back and sleep after I've gone to your place," replied Sebastian.
Claudia had lost for words.
She wondered why he was so persistent.
"I'm moving into a new home today, and your presence there will be disgusting and mar the celebration," Claudia said bluntly, "Look at you You hate me so much. If you're there, our interaction will jinx my apartment and bring bad luck to me in the future."
"You're just saying these with the purpose of prompting me into leaving. Let me make myself clear as well, Claudia. I won't leave no matter what you say. I have to see my sister at your place today Sebastian brought her back to reality.
Claudia really had an impulse to give him a round of good beating.
It seemed that he would not change his mind no matter what she said.
Meanwhile, the waiter walked over with the cake that was baked and prepared. "Miss, your cake is ready. I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
"No, no. It's been prepared fast enough. I barely waited at all." Claudia even felt that time had passed too quickly.
She really wanted to freeze the time so that she could go back later.
If she went back later, there was a chance Sebastian would give up the idea of going to her place.
Unfortunately, he still stared at her while wearing a faint smile, as though he had already seen through everything.
Claudia's eyes fell on the cake on the table in front of her. After that, she shot a glance at Sebastian and said, "Please hold the cake for me. I'm going
to the washroom."
"You can go with the condition that you leave your phone here." remarked Sebastian, indifferently.
"Don't go too far." Claudia felt a real urge to beat him up.
He really deserved to be beaten.
Looking at the handsome face before her, Claudia held back her anger.
Sebastian completely ignored her words. He just looked at her, displaying a shrewdness to expose each and every lies of hers.
"Fine, I'll leave it here." She slammed her phone directly onto the table. "Remember to keep an eye on my phone."
With that, Claudia went to the washroom.
Sebastian looked at the phone on the table and smiled gently.
He would not give her any chance to inform them about what was going on.
Claudia, who was turning around and walking to the washroom, was at a loss for words then.
A touch of craftiness flashed across her eyes. Did he think that she couldn't ask others for help just because she couldn't use her own phone to inform
them? She could just borrow somebody's phone to call Kendrix.
With such idea in mind, Claudia became more complacent. She straightened her back and walked slowly to the bathroom.
At that time, Sebastian lifted up the cake and said to the waiter, "Please take care of these things for me. I'll be back soon." Then, he took out a note and handed it to the waiter. "Take this as your tip."
