My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 983 To Watch Meteor Shower with You

After faking her death and escaping, she vanished without a trace. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Even after Finn revealed clues about Lyra's whereabouts, all attempts to find her had been unsuccessful.

This left him feeling angry and frustrated.

He wondered if Lyra was skilled at hiding or if someone was helping her. It was unbelievable that he couldn't locate her.

Whichever the case was, it showed that he had underestimated this woman from the start.

Despite his effort to mobilize his men and connections, he still couldn't find Lyra. Now it was really hard to predict when he could hunt her down.

He only gave himself two years for the task.

In the next two years, he would be expecting the deaths of both Brandon and Lyra.

Once the two scourges were gone, he would not have to worry much about the others.

He had to take care of these things within two years. Only then could he marry the woman he loved in peace.

If he couldn't find Lyra within a year, he would ask the connections left by his grandfather for help.

That would be the last retort. He didn't want to waste such resources.

They were earned by his grandfather through revolution and merit after all.

And using them to find a woman would disgrace his grandfather.

People said that the Flint family was omnipotent in the country.

While this was true, they were not as powerful as the state apparatus. There were restraints, and they could only access a small portion of power.

He was a businessman rather than an official or an officer, so it was difficult for him to tap into such power.

If he used too much of it or too frequently, those higher-ups might suspect him of having ulterior motives and monitor him. That was where businessmen fell short.

Otherwise, he might have found Lyra already a long time ago.

Nevertheless, he had to turn to them for help if all else failed.

Even if they didn't help him directly, he could use all his power to find her as long as they opened a path for him.

In any case, he had to get rid of Lyra within two years.

After ending the call with Sophia, Julien gave Zack a call.

He asked his assistant to find some of the best interior designers.

He wanted to give Sydney the best wedding room.

The best wedding ceremony and dress were ready. The wedding room should also be the best.

He would have the designers decorate the room to perfection and make Leaf satisfied.

After giving his instructions, Julien put away his phone and came out of the bathroom.

The bedroom was quiet. He looked around and furrowed his brows as Sydney was nowhere to be seen.

'What's going on?

'Where did she go?'

"Leaf?" Julien called out, pursing his lips.

Sydney heard him. She turned around and responded, "I'm here on the balcony. The view is nice. You should come to see it too."

Julien heaved a sigh of relief and unknitted his brows.

Turned out she was on the balcony.

He had thought that she had left.

He then went over to the balcony. Sydney was standing at the railing.

With her back to her, she was holding the carved railing with both hands and gazing at the night view outside.

Julien flashed a gentle smile before he turned back and headed to the wine cabinet.

When they came into the room just now, he saw the cabinet with many vintage wines inside.

It would be less fun if they appreciated the night view without wine.

Julien selected a bottle of mild wine that tasted sweet. He uncorked it, took out two goblets from behind the counter, and filled them with wine. With the goblets in his hands, he then went back to the balcony.

Sydney heard footsteps behind her, knowing it was Julien. Instead of looking back, she shrugged while holding the railing but suddenly pointed to the sky with glittering eyes, as if she had seen something. "Is that a meteor?"

Just now, there was a streak of light flashing on the horizon. It was fast and looked like a meteor.

Julien raised his head, took a look, and told her the hard truth. "No, that should be a fighter jet sent by a certain military district to patrol the airspace. I didn't see any meteors forecast."

The corner of Sydney's mouth twitched. His words were both funny and annoying. She turned around and looked at him. "I notice that your emotional intelligence is sometimes high and sometimes low. You're sometimes a sweet talker and sometimes a nerd."

He was nerdy.

Just like now.

When a guy heard his girlfriend mentioning a meteor, shouldn't he echo in surprise and make a wish with her?

Even if he were not sure if there was one, he should coax her and make her happy.

This guy, however, talked about science and told her it wasn't a meteor.

Julien saw the bewilderment in her eyes and curled his lips. "Am I wrong?"

'Seriously? Come on!

'Forget it.'

Sydney groaned in her heart, but she was unwilling to wrestle with him here.

He was like this at times anyway.

Even if she made it clear to him this time, he would remark like this again.

'So be it. It's not a big deal.'

"No, you're absolutely correct. Good!" Sydney said with a smile.

He could stop saying that again.

Julien didn't know what she was thinking about, but the smile on her face made him believe her words. He curled his lips and said, "If you want to see a meteor, I'll take you to watch it on Tisthon Peaks."

"Tisthon Peaks?" Sydney was surprised, "You mean the highest mountain in Port City?"

"Uh-huh." Julien nodded, "It's over 3,000 meters above sea level. We'll go up there in a helicopter and set up an astronomical telescope."

"Really?" Sydney grabbed his arm with excitement and interest, "Isn't it said that meteors are rare? Will there be one this weekend?"

"Yeah. There are meteors every once in a while, but our eyes can't catch them all due to city light pollution and geographical reasons, but if we go to a higher place and use professional equipment, we'll be able to see them."

"I see. That's great." Sydney clasped her hands together happily. "I want to watch the meteor and a meteor shower. When I was little, there was a forecast of a meteor shower at night. My dad promised to watch it together with me, but he was held up by his work. I cried till I slept and missed it. Thinking back, that's really a regret for life."

She sighed.
