Chapter 10 Provocation

Cayden nodded politely at Hunter. Then, he turned to Sydney and smiled. “I heard from Luke that you learned dancing before. Why don’t you teach me?”

Sydney was in a surprisingly good mood. “Sure.”

The two of them went to the dance floor hand-in-hand. When Hunter snapped back to his senses, he shook his head with a sigh. “That male model isn’t a simple person either.”

Cayden was a model, after all, so he learned how to dance quite quickly.

As he had told the DJ to change the color of the lights long ago, the two danced under the starry stage. They were very in sync.

Luke drank and whistled from below.

Perhaps it was because Sydney had not danced for many years, but she suddenly slipped and fell down.

Cayden reacted swiftly by wrapping his large hand around her back, catching her in his arms.

Sydney clung to his body so tightly that she could hear the rapid drumming of his heartbeat.

That was the scene Julien saw when he entered.

The usually gentle and dignified woman was now in the arms of another man, like a charming and sexy temptress.

The lines on Julien’s face froze instantly. It was gloomy and terrifying.

Cayden whispered in Sydney’s ear, “Sydney, he’s here.”

Sydney had spotted the man from the large glass mirror across the room for a while now. However, she smiled as if she had not seen him and tidied the messy hair behind her ear. “I’m a little hungry. Let’s get something to eat.”

Cayden let her go and followed her down the dance floor.

When passing Julien, he paused and raised his eyes.

To Julien, that was clearly a provocation.

“Sydney Raines, stop right there!”

Sydney stopped for a moment with her back to him before turning around. There was a grin hung on her mouth. “Why are you here, Mr. Flint? If memory serves, I don’t seem to have invited you.”

Julien first looked at Cayden and narrowed his eyes slightly at the youth’s slightly hostile gaze.

However, his words were directed at Sydney instead. “I think you should be more careful. We just got divorced, yet you’ve gotten into a scandal already. You might not care, but the Flint family still has our reputation to take care of.”

Sydney was amused. “Who are you to lecture me? Besides, I can be with whoever I want. What has it got to do with you?”

“You’re wrong. I don’t want to meddle, but you’ve made such a scene that it has reached my grandmother’s ears.” The man stood there with a sullen face, his gaze cold as the dark night.

The smile on Sydney’s face froze. “The Old Madam is back?”

“Yes, and she wants to see you.” The corners of Julien’s mouth twitched as his eyes swept over to Cayden meaningfully. “Of course, if you’re too busy dating another man, you don’t have to go.”

After that, the man left without looking back. Sydney’s expression grew complicated, and she considered for a moment before raising her feet to follow.

“Sydney.”

Seeing that Cayden was about to follow her, she turned around to reassure him. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”

Cayden’s eyes dimmed as he watched Sydney’s silhouette leaving from afar.

Just then, he noticed the figure over at the corner.

Hunter walked out with an embarrassed expression and coughed lightly. “Uh... I was smoking outside and happened to hear them talking.”

Cayden looked indifferent as he ignored him.

Hunter touched his nose, amused by Cayden’s hostility towards him. “You like Sydney, right? Don’t worry. I don’t plan to steal her from you.”

Cayden glanced at him coldly. “It’s windy outside. You should head back early.” With that, he walked away.

Hunter was stunned for a moment, but he shook his head with a wry smile after.
