Chapter 662 Who Was Julien Apologizing ToAt that moment, Julien was dreaming back to his childhood.He went upstairs to call his mother for breakfast as usual.Usually, when Julien knocked on the door, his mom would open it and smile at him.However, this time, no matter how hard he knocked, the door did not open, which made him have a sinking feeling.Julien then asked the maid to get the backup key and opened the door to his mom's room. Once the door was opened, Julien smelled a strong smell of blood. The smell came from the bathroom.Julien's face instantly turned pale. He froze for a few seconds. Then he rushed to the bathroom.The bathroom door was open. As soon as he reached the bathroom door, he saw the awful scene inside.Her mother was lying in the tub. Her face and body were splattered with blood.She had one hand dangling from the tub, with a blade in it, and her other hand in the tub. The water in the tub was reddened with blood.Julien's mother's body was stif
Chapter 663 Psychological Shadow“It won’t work...” Julien shook his head.In fact, he was not unaware that something was wrong with his psyche. But he did not think that his situation could be understood by a psychiatrist.Hearing these words, Sydney instantly frowned unhappily, “How do you know? You haven’t even tried, so how do you know it won’t work?” Julien closed his eyes, “My mom...regretted giving birth to me...”“What?” Sydney was first stunned for a moment and then looked at him, puzzled. “You said that your mom regretted giving birth to you?” Julien remained silent. Sydney shook her head, “How could it be? It’s absolutely impossible! How do you know that? I heard from your grandmother that you and your mom were very close to each other and that your mom was very gentle.”So how could such a mother regret giving birth to him?But looking at his expression, it seemed that it was not a lie.So, what was going on? Julien still closed his eyes without saying a word. Seeing
Chapter 664 The Childlike ManLooking at the serious and persistent expression on Sydney’s face, Julien knew he had to drink the water. He rubbed his temples, sat up hardly, and took the glass, drinking under her gaze.Then Sydney felt satisfied and stopped watching him intensely.After finishing, Julien put the glass aside and shook his dazed and heavy head.Noticing his action, Sydney asked, “A headache?”Julien replied, “H’m.”Sydney pinched her lips. “You deserve it! Why did you drink so much? Haven’t you considered the results?”Indefensibly, Julien hung his head down without any word. For his poor look, Sydney did not have the heart to blame him any longer, her expression melting. “Well, do not do it again. I don’t want to be worried about you every year.”Julien looked at her. “I’m sorry…” "Don't say sorry. You haven't done anything wrong." Sydney said gently, “I understand your choice, but I hope you can leave it behind. As I have said, it's not your fault t
Chapter 665 Tween FlintSydney Raines couldn't help raising her red lips when she saw that he was so happy to see her back. "Well, I'm back. I didn't break my promise, didn't leave, and came back on time. How’s that?"Julien Flint hummed.Sydney pulled a chair and put it on the edge of the sofa to sit down. "Can you get up?""No." Julien shook his head and looked at her pitifully.Sydney sighed, then reached out. "I'll pull you."Julien put his hand on hers.After Sydney held his hand, she pulled him up from the sofa with force. "Sit down. Be careful not to fall back.""Okay." Julien nodded obediently.Seeing him being so well-behaved, Sydney couldn't help but touch his head, which she rarely did. "Tween Flint, I didn't expect you to be so fun when you're drunk.""Tween Flint?" Julien looked at her dubiously.He grimaced in the next second. "Who is Tween Flint? Do you have a crush on another man?"He questioned loudly, as if Sydney was a heartbreaker.Sydney didn’t know wh
Chapter 666 Sydney Felt Very TiredExcept that her chin bumped into Julien’s back, Sydney didn’t feel any pain, as she fell onto his body.After rubbing her chin, she quickly stood up and reached out to pull him. "Julien, how are you? Are you okay?""Huh?" After Julien stood up, he looked at her in confusion.The corners of Sydney's eyes twitched.‘Well, Julien looks confused. Maybe he doesn't even realize that he fell onto the floor just now.’‘But from his expression, it seems that he wasn’t hurt.’‘After all, there is a carpet underneath.’Thinking about it, Sydney felt relieved and then continued to support Julien to the door of the study.As Julien’s legs were weak, he hobbled, and Sydney tried hard to take him out of the study and into the bathroom of the bedroom. Sydney felt that she had never been so tired in her life."Well..." Sydney exhaled. Then she turned her head and said while lifting her chin towards the washbasin, "Hold it!"Julien blinked. "What?"Sydney r
Chapter 667 Help Me Take My Clothes OffSydney and Julien both sank to the bottom of the bathtub.Sydney hurriedly held her breath so as not to choke on the water.But Julien had drunk so much that he had no idea what to do now, stupidly keeping his eyes open and letting the water go into his mouth and nose.Sydney saw his face turn red and knew that he was now choking on the water. After a frown, she hurriedly reached out and raised his chin, leading him out of the water.Sydney coughed twice and instantly gulped for fresh air after getting out of the water.Julien, who was beside her in the bathtub, leaning on the edge, motionless. Sydney didn't know what was going on with him.Sydney took several deep breaths. When she felt her breathing gradually become smooth, she checked on Julien.She saw him staring at the bathroom floor with a dazed look.Even when Sydney pushed him, he didn't respond as if he had lost his soul.But Sydney knew that he hadn't lost his soul. It was ju
Chapter 668 Sydney's HelplessnessJulien was drunk without strength or a clear mind. He didn't know to come out when he fell into the bottom of the bathtub just now.'He might have slipped into the bottom of the bathtub after I left. Maybe he is drowned now.'Thinking of this, Sydney was so worried that her face went pale.After that, she hurriedly opened the bathroom door and rushed in.However, she didn't see the horrible scene she had imagined but only saw Julien was sleeping inside the bathtub, leaning on the edge of the bathtub with his eyes closed.Sydney immediately breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.'Luckily, he wasn't drowned!'She couldn't help but worry about the current Julien.She rubbed her temples and walked over slowly. Then she squatted by the edge of the bathtub and touched his face gently. After feeling that he was indeed asleep, she felt relieved."How could you fall asleep in the bathtub?" Sydney patted Julien's forehead.Instantly, his fore
Chapter 669 His Wedding Ring'A ring?'Why is there a ring on his hand? And it looks familiar.'Could it be...'Sydney's face changed. She hurriedly put down the sleeve in her hand, held Julien's left hand with both hands, and unfolded his ring finger so that she could see the ring more clearly.After a while, Sydney was sure that this was really their wedding ring from the past.'When did he put it on?'She touched the ring and pursed her lips.This ring was the one she had bought back then.When they were to get married over six years ago, Grandma asked him to accompany her to buy the rings. But at that time, he had no feelings for her, so he refused her. Therefore, she bought them by herself. After seeing many rings, she bought this pair and had their names engraved on them.When they held their wedding, the jeweler sent the rings over and they exchanged them. But after the wedding, he took the ring off and never wore it. Although she was upset, she didn't force him to put
Chapter 1200 A Great Pair of Teacher and StudentThat was for sure.But those students wouldn't be Sydney.Sydney would always be special to Julien.He would always be a gentleman to Sydney.Even now that he was acting as Sydney's teacher, he was gentle and patient with her.Sydney had feared that Julien would lose patience and think her stupid when she couldn't understand what he was saying.She knew Julien was never a patient man.So she had been nervous. She was afraid that Julien would give up on her if she couldn't understand what he was talking about.She would be embarrassed in that situation. And she needed to find herself a new teacher.However, it turned out that Sydney was overly concerned.Julien was very patient with her. When Sydney didn't understand him, he didn't become impatient or think she was stupid. He patiently explained to her until she understood it. He was so patient with her. Nothing made him agitated.Gradually, Sydney learned that he wouldn't be
Chapter 1199 Teacher and StudentSydney's face and tone were both serious.Julien knew that if he was still unwilling to do as he was told, she would definitely do what she had said.Sydney was such a person.Even though their current relationship was close, she was not willing to take much advantage of him."Alas." Julien shook his head resignedly, pulling over her office chair and sitting down. "Is it okay now?"Sydney nodded in satisfaction. "Yes."With that, she also sat down on another chair that was slightly worse and then added, "Julien, don't think that I'm stubborn and unwilling to accept your goodness to me. I know that you want to do more for me, and you also want to let me sit more comfortably. I'm touched, and I accept it too, but if I really accept all of your kindness, especially when you're already helping me, it will only make me more and more greedy. "In the end, I will take all of your goodness to me as a matter of course, and over time, I will even forget t
Chapter 1198 Julien Was Going to Teach SydneySydney's eyes reveal a look of surprise.Julien noticed it, but deliberately teased her, "Why? Can't I come up?""Why not?" Sydney walked up to him and took his hand, smiling. "You're more popular at Skylight than I am. Even if I forbid letting you in, the staff will let you in. What can I do about that?""Nothing." Julien shook his head honestly."That's it!" Sydney pulled him inside. "I didn't think you'd be here this early, though. You usually get here around almost six. It's only a little after five now."So when Sydney saw him, she was surprised."I finished things, so I came over early. Are you done with your work?" Julien followed Sydney. He asked as he glanced at her desk.Sydney's desk was piled high with papers. Julien frowned at the sight. He liked to keep things neat and organized. "You've had a busy day, haven't you?"Otherwise, Sydney's desk wouldn't be this cluttered.Sydney didn't release Julien's hand until she le
Chapter 1197 It Was Good to LeaveYuri was one of Luke's best friends, so he knew very well what kind of person Yuri was.Such a slowcoach did something so quickly. It was conceivable that Luke was very important in Yuri's heart.Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken Luke's request so seriously.So how could Luke not be surprised and happy?As for Sydney, she didn't know Yuri. Nor did she know what kind of person he was.Now, after hearing Luke's words, she realized that Yuri was a person who worked very slowly.However, it was such an inefficient person who did her a favor so quickly. Sydney felt very touched."Maybe it was because you approached him that he did it so quickly, and of course, it was also possible that after being the boss all these years, he became much more efficient." Sydney guessed with a smile.Luke rubbed his chin and nodded. "It makes sense, but whatever the reason, it's good that Yuri got things done quickly.""Yeah, I called you mainly because I wanted yo
Chapter 1196 Strange LukeYet Sean was panicking at the moment.Why?Of course, because she didn't want her lie to be exposed.It was not like she was really leaving the country, so how could she possibly let Sydney see her off? Her lie would be exposed if Sydney went there. Sean held the cell phone with both hands and hurriedly explained, "Because I bought a ticket for an 11 PM flight. It's late, so I don't want to let you go back and forth. It's too troublesome. Besides, if you go to see me off so late at night, Mr. Flint will definitely not feel at ease."That was true.Sydney rubbed her chin. "But why did you choose such a late flight?"Sean continued to lie. "To catch up on my sleep on the plane so that when I get abroad, I can immediately go to work.""I see. Alright, then I won't see you off, but send me a message to let me know you board the plane smoothly. Otherwise, I won't be relieved," Sydney said.Knowing that Sydney had given up on the idea of going to see her
Chapter 1195 Reason for ResignationSydney sighed, "It wasn't the HR department that told me. Gianna went there for something and overheard it by accident, so she told me.""I see." Sean understood.'I can't believe Gianna said it. 'I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. 'It looked like God didn't want her to hide it from Ms. Raines either. Otherwise, how would Gianna have happened to show up at the HR department at that time?'"So it's true that you are quitting?" Sydney asked, pursing her lips.Sean nodded. "Yes."Sydney's heart sank after she got a definite answer from Sean, the person in question. "Why? There has to be a reason, right? I don't believe you have considered resignation for a long time. Gianna and I didn't hear about you quitting or feel you had the intention before you took a leave of absence and suddenly offered to resign. I never want to believe that nothing has happened to you. At the very beginning, Gianna and I guessed that you had a problem with
Chapter 1194 Sean Had Decided to Gave Birth to the BabyLuke wanted to ask, 'Can't you see I'm not happy?'The words were on his tongue, but he couldn't say them.Upset, Luke took a packet of cigarettes out of his pocket, pulled one out of it, and put it in his mouth. He then took out his lighter and was about to light the cigarette.However, just as the flame neared the cigarette, he suddenly paused. He glanced at the bed on which Sean was drinking the medicine, not paying attention to him. Then he put the lighter away and put the cigarette back in the packet.'I’m not going to smoke it. It's not a good cigarette. I'm going to change cigarettes next time. I didn't quit smoking for that woman.' Luke compressed his lips and thought to himself.Just then, Sean's cell phone rang, which broke the silence of the room.Sean finished her medicine. Her mouth was full of bitterness. She put the bowl back on the bedside table and hurriedly picked up a glass of water and took a sip of wate
Chapter 1193Gianna trusted Luke, so she didn't tell Sydney that Luke also knew Sean had been pregnant.She didn't feel the need to tell Sydney. "Mr. Chase will keep Sean's secret anyway."Convinced of this idea, Gianna had no worries at all. She looked at Sydney and asked, "Ms. Raines, do you think Sean quit the job because the miscarriage hurt her health?""I don't know, but it's possible." Sydney responded, giving a worried look.Sydney didn't have many female friends. Sean and Sharon were her only friends.Sharon followed Cayden to Jackal City. They had very little contact after that.Sydney called Sharon a couple of times, but the phone was never answered. Sydney guessed that Sharon must be busy or Cayden had assigned Sharon some tasks, so Sharon could not answer her calls.Last time when Sydney contacted Sharon, Sharon told her that Cayden didn't trust her and that he wouldn't allow her to follow him around as his bodyguard.Syndey hadn't talked to Sharon in a long time,
Chapter 1192 Sean Wants to Resign"Okay, I'll do it right away." The secretary nodded in response and picked up the file. "Then Ms. Raines, I'll take my leave."Sydney waved her hand. "Go ahead. Thank you.""You're welcome," Gianna smiled faintly and turned to head for the door.But after taking a few steps, she suddenly thought of something, stopped, and turned around. "By the way, Ms. Raines, there's something I don't know if I should say or not.""Just say it." Sydney lifted her chin slightly, signaling Gianna to continue.Seeing this, Gianna no longer hesitated. Standing upright, she said, "Here is the thing. This morning I went to HR Department. Secretarial Department recently needs to recruit a new assistant, so I went over there to ask if there were any suitable candidates.""Well, I know about this." Sydney nodded. "Go on."She knew that what her secretary wanted to say couldn't be this matter.Sure enough, Gianna took a breath and continued, "Then I heard them talking
