My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 236 Julien Got Discharged

Sydney felt uncomfortable and creeped out by the butler's smile.

Coupled with Hunter's odd behavior just now...

She felt that everyone from the Cohens seemed a little abnormal.

However, she realized that she might be impolite and cleared her throat awkwardly. She adjusted herself and pushed all her thoughts to the back of her mind.

"Ms.Raines, please have some tea.” The butler gave Sydney a cup.

Sydney took it with a smile. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The butler waved his hand. "Enjoy your time with the young master. If you need anything, just let me know. There's no need to be shy. Just treat this place like your own home."

"...Sure." Sydney’s mouth twitched, and she forced a smile.

The butler could not be more enthusiastic. He even told her to treat the place like home?

That made her feel even more uncomfortable.

"Enough, uncle. You can leave now." Hunter lifted his cup of tea and made a sign to the butler to leave them alone.

Hunter was worried that the butler would actually tell Sydney that he liked her if he stayed any longer. He could not imagine what would happen then.

"Sure, sure. I'll leave now.” The butler thought Hunter wanted to be alone with Sydney, so he chuckled and left.

When he turned around, he gave Hunter a silent cheer as though he was cheering him on. Hunter was amused.

"Don't mind him. The butler has always been enthusiastic despite his age.” Hunter looked at Sydney and said.

Sydney shook her head. "Don't worry. I really like him because he's so approachable. Oh right, I've brought the DNA specimen of someone from the Maddens."

With that, she put down her tea cup and took out the plastic bag with Lyra's hair within.

When Hunter saw it, he almost choked on his tea. "So much?”

"Um... I accidentally pulled a little too much. Just take it." Sydney threw the hair at him.

Hunter caught it in a hurry. "Pulled? Did you get these directly from Lyra’s head?"

Sydney gave him a knowing smile. "I guess you can say that." "I don't think Lyra would've allowed you to do that.

Tell me how you did it. Not only did you pull, but you even pulled out a lot!" Hunter put down Lyra's hair and pulled his chair to the spot next to Sydney. He looked at her curiously.

Seeing how eager he was to know, Sydney rubbed her earlobe and told him what happened in the hospital.

Hunter burst into laughter. "Not bad, Sydney. You actually provoked her on purpose and made her attack you first so that you can use it as an excuse to fight back. This way, no one will suspect that you might be tugging on her hair for another purpose."

"Yes. If I directly pulled her hair, she would definitely try to find out why I did that. So, this is the only way I could think of." Sydney shrugged.

"That’s great. I'll send the hair off right now." He fished out his phone and made a call.

Sydney quietly waited for him.

After half an hour or so, someone came and collected Lyra's hair.

Sydney was about to leave, but both Hunter and the butler made her stay for dinner.

After they had dinner, Hunter personally drove her back to Shallow Bay.

"I'll bring you to the fake Clarice tomorrow.” Hunter rolled down the window and said to Sydney after she got down the car. He had one hand on the window pane.

Sydney’s eyes lit up, and she nodded in agreement." Great. I want to give her the necklace too."

"It's all set, then. See you tomorrow." Hunter waved his hand.

Sydney nodded and said, "See you tomorrow."

After that, Hunter rolled up his window and left.

Sydney stood by the roadside as she watched Hunter drive away. When his car disappeared from her sight, she turned around and went into her apartment.

In the meantime, another unnoticeable car was parked by the roadside. In the car, Julien's dark gaze followed Sydney's silhouette, his face expressionless.

However, Zach knew that he was upset and in a bad mood.

Was it because he saw Ms. Raines coming out of someone else's car?

"President Flint, the car just now belongs to Mr.

Cohen." Zach turned around and said to Julien in the backseat.

Julien lowered his eyes and tried to cover up the turmoil within. He said nothing.

Of course, he knew the car belonged to Hunter.

He was just wondering why Sydney would return so late in Hunter's car. Where did they go? What did they do?

A lot of questions were in his mind, and it was troubling him so much that his oppressive aura became more intense.

He clenched his fist tight. With a gloomy expression, he said, "Let's go.”

"Are you not going up?" Zach asked.

Julien narrowed his eyes. "Why should I go up?"

Zach decided to say nothing, but he was silently complaining.

Julien must be jealous to see Ms. Raines coming back with another man, and he was so mad that he just wanted to leave.

In that case, they should go. Zach was sure they would come back again anyway.

Zach shrugged and silently restarted the engine.

Not long after, they arrived at Flint Mansion.

Julien was in the wheelchair, and Zach pushed him into the house. Once they reached the doorstep, two sudden loud pops sounded, and colorful confetti fell all over them.

"Bro! Congratulations on getting discharged!" Jayden was standing in the living room when he greeted Julien at the doorstep. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Julien saw that he was waving two party poppers around and knew that he must be the one who made the mess.

However, Velma did not lose out either. "Welcome home, Julien."

Julien's usual indifferent expression turned gentle. He swatted the confetti off himself as he said, "Thank you."

"Bro, let me." Jayden put the party poppers aside and walked toward Zach.

Zach consciously stood aside. "President Flint, I'll leave now."

"Okay." Julien nodded.

Zach greeted Old Madam Flint and then left.

The moment Zach left, he looked toward the starry night sky and felt a tear from the corner of his eyes.

He finally got off work!

It was definitely tough.

Inside the house, Jayden pushed Julien to the living room. "Bro, weren't you discharged in the afternoon? Why are you only back now?"

Julien blinked. "I wasn't feeling well, so I asked Zach to bring me out for a breather."

When Old Madam Flint heard that he was feeling unwell, she immediately turned over. "I told you not to get discharged so early, yet you refused to listen to me. Where hurts? I'll ask the doctor to come over now." "No need, grandma. I’m fine now." Julien rubbed his temples.

He was, in fact, not unwell. He just wanted to see Sydney first after he got discharged, so he made Zach drive him over.

However, he did not expect to see Sydney return in Hunter's car instead.

Soon, they entered the living room.

Velma had a mysterious expression when she said," Julien, I prepared a surprise for you.”

"Surprise?" Julien raised his eyebrow.

Old Madam Flint and Jayden rolled their eyes and said nothing.

"The surprise is there." Velma pointed in the other direction.

Julien looked over to see someone standing up from the sofa with her back facing him.

The person slowly turned around, revealing a pretty face. Her fingers were twisted together when she looked at him nervously. "Julien."

Julien’s expression changed. The gentleness on his face disappeared, and it was replaced with indifference.

His hand on the armrest tightened into a fist as he glared at Velma.

Could that be the surprise she was talking about?
