My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 240 Stopped Loving a Long Time Ago

Brandon's usual arrogance was nowhere to be found. He wiped the spit from the big man off his face and said in a trembling voice, "S-Sir, I didn't run into you. It was you who ran into me.”

The big man glared at Brandon. "I ran into you? What nonsense! You were the one who ran into me, yet you're denying it and even blaming me for it? I shall give you shameless old hag a good lesson."

Then, he gave Brandon a tight slap.

That was the first slap Brandon had received in his entire life, leaving him stunned and in a daze.

When Brandon came back to his senses, the big man had already disappeared.

He was trembling in rage, and deep down, he also felt embarrassed.

He made a mental note of the big man's face. When he was done with his work, he would come back and ask Julien for the surveillance video. He swore he would catch the big man and torture him to death.

Brandon touched his cheek and walked toward his car with a vicious expression.

A few minutes after he left, the big man from before came out from the corner, and there was someone else next to him.

"Mr. Cohen, this is the hair you wanted.” The big man passed a few strands of hair wrapped in paper over to Hunter. His attitude was respectful, like a completely different person from how he was in front of Brandon just now.

Hunter took it with satisfaction and handed the big man a check. "Not bad. Thanks for the hard work."

"It's nothing at all. If there’s anything that I can help you with, just let me know. I will do anything!” The big man kept the check and tapped his chest.

Hunter nodded with a smile. "Don’t worry. I won't forget you. Go ahead."

"Yes."

Once the big guy had left, Hunter looked toward the spot where Brandon was beaten up. Then, he snickered as he walked toward the elevator.

It was pure coincidence that he saw Brandon’s car in the parking lot. Hence, he called a gangster over and helped him out with getting Brandon's hair.

He had to say that Brandon's timid look just now was really amusing.

"You!" When Hunter walked in, Julien remembered the scene from last night, when Hunter sent Sydney back to Shallow Bay. Julien's expression changed immediately.

Upon noticing Julien's attitude toward him, Hunter touched his nose. "What's up? I don't think I've

offended you in any way, Julien. Why are you putting on such a face, like I snatched something from you?"

Julien pursed his lips. "What do you want?"

"I told you last time. This is about the new project agreement." Hunter pulled a chair and sat down.

Julien opened his drawer and took out a folder, which threw to Hunter. He said, "Sign it and get lost."

Hunter raised his eyebrow. "Gosh, why are you so eager to chase me away? Are you rushing off for a date with Lyra?"

When Julien heard that, his aura became even more oppressive, and he glared at Hunter.

Hunter quickly raised his hand up in surrender. "Fine. Forget I said that."

He lowered his head and quickly put down his signature. However, deep down, he thought it was strange.

If he was not mistaken, he saw a flash of disgust on Julien’s face when he mentioned Lyra just now.

Why?

Without asking further, he handed the signed document over and said, "Done.”

Julien took it and put down his own signature as well.

The agreement was valid from then onward.

Since Hunter had achieved his goal of coming over, he did not stay for long. He left after having a cup of coffee.

Just as he left Julien’s office, he saw Zach walking over with a doctor in a white coat.

Hunter was not surprised to see a doctor in Julien’s office. After all, Julien had just gotten discharged, and his wounds are still healing. It was normal for a doctor to be around all the time.

However, when Hunter walked past the doctor, he saw the doctor's name tag - Psychiatry Consultant.

Hunter whistled secretly

It seemed like he found out something really juicy.

In the elevator, he took out his phone and texted Sydney. [Have you arrived?] NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Sydney was looking through some documents when her phone rang. She took it and immediately typed a reply. [Arrived long ago.]

Hunter smiled. [Let me tell you some good news. Julien might be mentally unwell. He's seeing a psychiatrist.]

[Psychiatrist?] Sydney narrowed her eyes and continued, [Are you sure he's the one seeing the doctor and not Lyra? Lyra has "Dissociative Personality Disorder".]

She highlighted the term Dissociative Personality Disorder, and her sarcasm was obvious.

Hunter sent a voice message to Sydney. "I met Lyra’s psychiatrist before, and it wasn't the same one. I’m sure this is for Julien himself."

"Really? Let's see then. There’s no need to tell me this. I’m busy." Sydney replied via a voice message as well.

Why was everyone telling her about Julien? Julien had nothing to do with her anymore.

She was no longer the same Sydney from the past, where she was still concerned in his matters.

Hunter smiled. "Okay. I’ll stop. I was just worried that you still can’t let go, so-"

"Wait!" Sydney interrupted him. "I said I no longer love him, so why would I not be able to let go? Enough of this. I'm getting back to work."

With that, she closed the app and ignored it.

However, she did not get back to work. Instead, she stared at her phone with mixed feelings.

Nobody believed that she really had stopped loving Julien. Luke did not, and so did Cay.

She knew they were only pretending to believe her, but they must think that she still loved Julien.

Hunter's actions just now were clear as day. All of them felt that it was impossible for her to stop loving Julien just because they got divorced.

In fact, it was the truth. She did not stop loving Julien after they got a divorce but way earlier, not long after they just got married.

More accurately, the Julien Flint she loved was not the indifferent man after marriage but the gentle, courteous Julien from before they got married.

Before their marriage, Sydney thought she had married the one she loved. However, the reality was different from what she expected. After they got married, Julien was extremely cold and indifferent to her, a completely different person from the one she loved.

At that thought, she picked up her phone and opened her gallery. In a protected folder, she tapped open a photo, the only one in the folder.

The photo was blurry since it was taken many years ago with her shaky hands.

Sydney sighed as she looked at the photo.

In the photo was a young man. He had his back against her, but his head was turned. However, when he realized that she was secretly taking photos of him, he was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled at her tenderly.

It was at that moment she fell for Julien.

She was 13 back then, while Julien was already in university. As Julien’s results were exceptional, the school had invited him to give everyone a talk.

In the beginning, she only found him good-looking and wanted to take photos of him secretly. However, his smile was what made her fall for him. She was madly in love, so much that she wanted to find out everything about him and even marry him in the future.
