My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 1011 Sydney's Worry

After all, she viewed Luke not only as her friend, but also as her elder brother.

Moreover, Luke came to her rescue this time.

So, Julien shouldn't have treated Luke that way.

Sydney admitted that she should be to blame, too. She knew that Julien got jealous easily, but she didn't tell him in advance that she would have a meal with Luke so that Julien could be prepared.

The reason why Julien said those words to Luke was largely that he had no idea of her eating with Luke. Thus, when he learned about it by chance, he became jealous.

‘Well, I must learn from this experience and be careful later. I’d better tell Julien wherever I will go in the future. Otherwise, he will get jealous and do something unreasonable again.’

Thinking of this, Sydney shook her head helplessly and then sent Julien the message.

...

Julien had returned to Flint Corporation. As soon as he sat down, his phone dinged.

He tugged on his tie wearily. After he completely loosened his tie, which then hung around his neck unstably, he took out his phone.

When he found the message was from Sydney, his eyes lit up.

It could be seen that Sydney had become his emotional prop.

As long as he saw her or something related to her, he would feel extremely satisfied and energetic.

Smiling, he quickly tapped his phone to check her message.

However, when he saw that Sydney asked him not to say those words to Luke anew, his smile vanished. He pressed his lips with apparent displeasure.

Tightening his hold on the phone, he glared at the message with a dark face.

‘She asks me not to say those words to Luke again.

‘Does she care about Luke that much?’

At this moment, Julien remembered that Sydney hid from him the incident that her parts were intercepted by Dallin. Instead of telling him about it and asking him for help, she told Luke everything and sought his help.

Even if Julien knew why she didn't turn to him, he couldn’t accept it.

He couldn't tolerate her asking Luke for help.

She kept saying that she didn't want to rely on him and wanted to become strong by herself.

But she relied on Luke to achieve her goal!

Did she think that she could become strong by relying on Luke?

At the thought of it, Julien curled his lip sarcastically.

If she had attempted to deal with the problem on her own, Julien could accept that she didn't tell him the incident because she intended to work it out by herself.

However, after she said those words, she still asked Luke for help, which was unacceptable to Julien.

And it made him feel that as her boyfriend, he was not as reliable as Luke in her heart.

Julien closed his eyes and rubbed his nose.

After quite a while, he opened his eyes expressionlessly with an icy vibe and then replied to Sydney. [Let's have a talk tonight.]

When Sydney read the reply, the smile suddenly froze on her lips.

When looking at the reply, she somehow had a sinking feeling.

Moreover, she could sense his coldness and anger from it.

Was it her illusion?

She bit her lower lip, so perturbed in deep thought that her fingers trembled during typing. Sydney: [Okay. But what do you want to talk about? Why do you plan to talk with me? What’s wrong with you?]

Generally, a boyfriend rarely informed his girlfriend that he intended to have a talk with her, except when he and his girlfriend had conflicts or misunderstandings.

Anyway, Sydney had never encountered such a thing.

So, she couldn't help wondering now if there were some misunderstandings between her and Julien, which inclined him to have a talk with her.

Rubbing her phone, Sydney stared at the screen, waiting for Julien's reply.

But after several minutes, there was no reply from him.

She began guessing whether Julien didn't see her message or he was busy working now so he couldn't make a reply.

Or did he check it but deliberately make no reply?

Sydney didn’t know the real reason.

But judging from Julien's previous reply, she considered the latter reason more possible.

Julien saw her message but intentionally gave no reply.

If so, there really existed misunderstandings between them.

Thoughts in turmoil, Sydney bit her lower lip so hard that it almost bled.

If she hadn't been with Luke, she would have called Julien to ask about the reason. She didn’t need to guess wildly in intense anxiety. The more she guessed, the more anxious she got.

Luke in the driver's seat noticed Sydney's change out of the corner of his eye. He cast a glance at her and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Sydney pressed her phone against her chest, twitched her lips resignedly, and forced a smile. "Nothing."

"Do you think I’ll believe it?" Luke curled his lip. "I grew up with you, and I know you better than Julien. Every time something goes wrong and you don't want to say it, you force yourself to smile this way. Do you think I don't know you are lying?"

Sydney lowered her head, falling speechless.

Luke had seen through her mind. What could she say?

It happened to be a red light. Luke stopped the car, turned to stare at Sydney and queried again, "Tell me what has happened. You looked fine just now. Why do you become upset suddenly?"

Sydney placed her phone in her bag, raised her hands to rub her cheeks hard, and then replied, "Actually, there's really nothing. It's just that I said a few words to Julien, and I feel that something is wrong with him."

"Something is wrong with him?" Luke raised his eyebrows. "What's wrong with him?"

"I don't know." Sydney shook her head, looking bewildered. "He told me to have a talk with him tonight. People usually have a talk when they have conflicts or misunderstandings. There are no such things between us, but he suddenly wanted to have a talk with me. And I couldn't help thinking whether there is a problem with our relationship."

"I see." Luke raised his chin to show he had understood. "Are you sure nothing happened between you?"

"Absolutely nothing." Sydney shook her head seriously.

‘When Julien went out early in the morning, we said goodbye to each other.

‘How could something go wrong?’

"It's really strange." Luke tapped on the steering wheel.

When she heard Luke's conclusion, Sydney's eyes lit up, and she quickly echoed, "See? Even you could feel that he is very strange."

Luke answered, "Indeed when there is nothing wrong, a person seldom wants to have a talk with another person. Since he said it to you, something could have happened. But as the two of you don't have any conflicts or misunderstandings, don't worry. Probably he just planned to discuss business with you. Your company cooperates with his several companies anyway. Maybe Julien just meant to talk about business with you, but he didn't express it clearly. You might ask him tonight."

Luke comforted Sydney.

Although Luke strongly wished that Julien would break up with Sydney so that he would have another chance to pursue her, he wouldn't use it as an opportunity to ruin their relationship. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
