Julien lowered his eyes so that no one could see the real emotion in them. "No, I just wanted to know what the restaurant manager wanted to say."His expression was so calm that it did not seem like he was lying.Sydney nodded and believed him. "I see."It seemed like she had overthought it.Well, he hated her so much. Why would he deliberately let the manager misunderstand that they were husband and wife?"But why did you agree to take part in the activity, President Flint?" Sydney looked up at Julien.Julien's thin lips moved. "It's for Davey. He's Hunter's nephew, and I'm Hunter's friend. It's only natural for me to take care of Davey."He did not want her to know that he only wanted to participate for her.As for what the reason was, he was not sure either."Alright." Sydney shrugged, indicating that she understood him.She did not doubt Julien's words.Julien and Hunter were indeed good friends, and it was only natural to take care of a good friend's nephew.Without sp
Sydney touched her belly, and a gentle smile gradually appeared on her face.Julien's eyes darkened when he saw that.'She doesn't seem to hate the child in her belly that much.'In that case, why...'"Mom." Julien's thoughts were interrupted by Davey.Davey shook Sydney's arm and complained again. "Dad bullied me."Sydney snapped back to her senses and looked at Davey. "How did Uncle... Dad bully you?"That was close. She almost exposed them.Fortunately, she caught it in time."Dad pinched my face." Davey pointed to his face and looked at Julien smugly.Julien's expression sank.'This little brat...'"Let me see." Sydney did not notice the contest between the two and lowered her head to examine the little one's face seriously.When she saw the red marks on the boy's face, she frowned. "Julien Flint, Davey is just a kid. Don't you know how to hold back?"She reprimanded Julien while hugging Davey with an aching heart.It made Davey even more proud of himself, and he rai
In any case, it was not the first time Julien and her kissed by mistake anyway.The other time was in the kitchen of Mr. Clarke's equestrian park villa.Thus, there was no need for her to be concerned. She would just think of it as getting bitten by a dog.At that thought, Sydney took a deep breath and looked at the man beside her.He already had the playing card on his lips and was waiting for her.She clenched her fists, telling herself several times in her mind not to make a mistake again, before leaning over to press her lips against the card.Julien's eyes darkened when he felt the warmth from the other side of the card.However, in less than two seconds, the temperature disappeared along with the card.Julien's eyes lowered as a feeling of loss suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.Soon, the time was up.The manager announced the top three families, Team One, Team Three, and Team Five.Sydney's team was Team Five.Davey clapped his hands happily. "Mom, we got in
Sydney ignored Julien and continued staring at Team Three's dad, wondering how long he would hold out.Seeing that, Julien’s expression turned even darker, and the air around him turned cold.How could Team Three's dad's looks, figure, or temperament compare to his? Why did she have to stare at Team Three's dad?Although he also knew that she was not interested in Team Three's dad in that way, he still felt irritated."Get off!" Julien stopped when Davey counted to 20 and said coldly to the woman on his back.Sydney did not know what was wrong with him, but she stepped on the ground and stood up.Julien also stood up.He just did 20 push-ups in a row, but his handsome face was not the least bit tired. He did not even break a sweat.It was evident that the 20 push-ups did not have the slightest effect on him.The dads from Teams One and Three were incredibly envious.Julien's team was done and already resting, but they still had to continue miserably.Sydney looked at the bit
Julien clenched his fists tightly. "Why?"Sydney gave him a weird look. "What do you mean why? This child was an accident. I don't love him, and his father doesn't intend on acknowledging him either. Why should I keep him?"Although Sydney knew that her remarks were a little heartless, it was borne out of responsibility.To be born to a father who did not want to acknowledge him and a mother who did not love him, how pitiful would the child be?Julien's thin lips moved. "Then, if the child's father is willing to acknowledge him... will you give birth to him?""What?" Sydney froze.Julien suddenly snapped back to his senses and realized that he had aroused her suspicion by saying too much. His eyes darkened as he quickly said, "It's nothing. I was just asking."Sydney did not think much about it and flicked her hair aside. "Of course not."Julien frowned.Was she still not willing to give birth to the child?Seemingly sensing what the man was thinking, Sydney lowered her eyes
"Your legs?" Sydney tried to lift her neck, wanting to check his legs. However, she could not lift her neck because his body was pressing down on her.However, she did not dare to push him away. She was worried that pushing him would cause his injury to worsen.Having no other choice, Sydney could only shout at the manager. "Quick, check his legs!""R-Right." The manager also snapped out of it and hurriedly went to look at Julien's legs.As soon as he did, he gasped. "Madam, your husband's foot was hit by the iron frame."All he cared about was asking the couple if they were okay. When he heard the wife say she was fine, he felt so relieved that he forgot to check the iron frame of the curtain.Never did he expect that the man's foot would be injured by the iron frame.Now, he was really afraid that he would not be able to keep his position as manager."He was hit?" Sydney's heart seized. Then, she shouted angrily, "Hurry up and call someone to move the frame away!""I've call
The doctor's movements paused. He looked up at Sydney and then looked at Julien, who had a cool expression, and felt confused.He did not use that much force. How would it hurt?Furthermore, this gentleman's expression did not seem like he was in pain at all.Shaking his head, the doctor did not think much of it. He just assumed that the wife was concerned about her husband, so she asked him to be gentler.Well, if she wanted him to be gentle, then he would be gentle.The doctor sighed and continued the massage.After a long massage, the doctor opened the medical kit and began to look for medicine and bandages for Julien.Sydney patted Davey's back and stood up. "How’s his foot, Doctor? Are his bones okay?"The doctor disinfected Julien's foot while replying, "Don't worry, Madam. Your husband's foot is fine, and he didn't break any bones. He just strained the ligaments and tendons on his foot. He'll be fine in ten days to fifteen days.”Sydney breathed a sigh of relief at thos
"You're mistaken, President Flint. These watches are a couple watches. We're not a couple, so they're not for us. You should take it back and share it with Ms. Madden."Then, she took the lid from the manager's hand, covered the box, and stuffed it into Julien's arms.Julien's face was as cold as ice. He subconsciously wanted to throw the box away.However, in the end, he held back and threw the box to Zach instead.Zach looked at the box in his arms and then at Julien, who had an unpleasant expression, and smiled wryly.'Even if you give it to me, what am I supposed to do with it?'The manager lowered his head, completely regretting his actions.If he had known that the watches he took out would put President Flint and this lady at odds, he would not have taken it out.None of them spoke, and the atmosphere turned frightening and oppressive.After an unknown amount of time, Julien opened his mouth to break the silence. "Let's go."Zach hurriedly went forward to help him up.
