"What are you looking at? Just let him be if he wants to be alone," although Velma said that with an angry and disgruntled tone, she did not stop Julien from going upstairs.After all, Jayden was still her son.As a mother, how could she be cruel to him?Julien also knew this, so he went straight upstairs after he finished speaking."Jayden, open the door." Julien stood outside Jayden's room and knocked on the door.The door opened.Jayden's eyes were a little red as he looked at Julien. "Big bro.""Did you cry? Julien raised his brows.Jayden raised his arm and wiped his eyes roughly, replying awkwardly, "No."Julien's lips curled, but he did not expose Jayden. "Can I come in and talk?""Sure." Jayden agreed and let him in.Julien walked in.Jayden closed the door and followed him. "Julien, didn't you say last time that you’d convince Mom to let me play basketball? She's asking me to quit the basketball team every day and won't let me go to practice. The U17 basketball tou
In Flint Mansion.Jayden was also reading the letter.Although he read this letter several times, he could find something new from it every time he read it.In particular, the daily life and preferences of Buddy were really quite similar to that of his older brother.Of course, the most similar thing was Buddy’s handwriting. It was just slightly less right than his brother’s handwriting and slightly more relaxed.If he had not known that his brother’s pen pal was Lyra, he would have thought that Sydney was the one who exchanged letters with his brother.Jayden folded the letter and put it back in the envelope, ready to put it away.Sydney must have told him to throw the letter away because she was angry at him for taking it without her permission.He refused to throw it away. He would just give it back to her next time.Jayden snorted and put the letter in the drawer when there was a knock on the door. “Second Young Master, dinner is ready.”“Coming!” Jayden answered. He push
Julien was reading a report on his tablet when he heard these words. He frowned slightly.Lyra knew that Velma was trying to set them up and was very happy. However, her heart thumped when she saw the faint frown on the man’s face.“Julien, are you unwilling?” Lyra bit her lip and looked at the man.Julien’s thin lips moved slightly and he was just about to speak.Velma slapped her thigh. “Of course he is! It’s decided!”“Mom!” Julien frowned deeper. “That’s not good for Lyra. We’re not married yet.”Lyra’s face turned pale.Velma had already made up her mind, but he still refused.He was not showing her any respect!Jayden, who was leisurely eating apples on the sofa, was inexplicably happy when he saw Lyra’s unpleasant expression.“So, what if you’re not married yet? You’re engaged and will live in the same room sooner or later. You’re just staying together earlier.” Velma disagreed.Julien looked at the woman with her head down beside him. “It’s disrespectful to Lyra.”“
“Where to, President Raines?” the driver asked after Sydney got in the car.Sydney put her crutches to the side. “Downtown Stadium.”“Aye,” the driver replied and started the car.Skylight Corporation was about an hour’s drive from the stadium.However, it was close to the airport and a place notorious for its traffic jam in Port City.At this time, Sydney was stuck on the road.Time ticked by the second as Sydney was stuck in the jam, and it was already 4 pm.In the stadium, Jayden was standing on the court warming up in his number eight black jersey. He looked toward the audience on their side as he warmed up.When he saw that there was no one in the two seats that he had reserved, his youthful face was written with disappointment and gloom.What happened to them?Neither of them came!“Hey, Jay, what are you doing?” At this time, a teammate came over and tapped Julien’s shoulder.Julien shook his head and responded somewhat sullenly, “I’m fine.”“If you’re fine, then hu
In the men's washroom, Jayden cupped a handful of cold water and splashed it on his face. Then, he looked at himself in the mirror with red eyes.He knew that he did not play well in this competition. He did not give it his all.It was not that he did not want to, but that he could not. When he thought that they did not come to watch him play, he felt that it was meaningless, and he naturally did not feel any passion for the game."Liar. They said they'd come, but they didn't keep their word!" Jayden pounded his fist on the marble beside the mirror in anger. Tears welled up in his eyes.Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang.Jayden took a deep breath, suppressed his inner anger, and took out his phone. "Hello?""Jay, the third quarter of the game is about to start. Are you ready yet?" his teammate asked.Jayden replied somewhat listlessly, "Yeah.""Then come back quickly."After saying that, the teammate hung up the phone.Jayden put his phone away and walked out.Just as h
The streamer said to her livestream enviously, "Did you see that? That couple is so sweet.""I saw it, I saw it. I'm almost full from all the sweetness.""ChiliPepper, hurry up and find a boyfriend as handsome as that guy. That way, you don't have to be envious of them.""Is the top comment serious? If ChiliPepper could find a boyfriend, she wouldn't be single until now!"The streamer ChiliPepper was both amused and angry at her fans' teasing. "Keep this up and I won't show you guys that pretty couple anymore.""No no no, we'll stop." The fans hurriedly surrendered.ChiliPepper snorted smugly and did not move the camera away. She continued to aim the camera at Sydney and Julien.Kate was also a fan of ChiliPepper. She learned many of her makeup techniques from ChiliPepper's livestreams.She did not expect to see Sydney and Julien in ChiliPepper's livestream now."Oh no, I have to tell Lyra!" Kate put down her tablet, picked up her phone, and called Lyra.Lyra was sitting in front of t
Julien pressed his shoulder. "I'm fine.""Are you really fine?" Jayden was still worried.Julien hummed. "Yeah.""That's good." Jayden sighed in relief and then asked Sydney, "What about you?""I'm fine too." Sydney shook her head.She was protected well by Julien and did not get hurt at all.After confirming that they were both fine, Jayden turned around and looked at the Kingthene team on the court with red eyes. "Those b*stards. They used this sort of tactic just because they can't beat me. I'll teach them a lesson!"He went back to the court with his fists clenched, about to pick a fight with the players of the Kingthene team.However, he was pulled back by his teammates.After all, if a real fight broke out, both sides would be disqualified from the game."Are you really okay?" Sydney heard Julien's muffled grunt earlier. Unlike Jayden, she did not believe that he was as fine as he said.Julien also knew that he could not fool her. His thin lips parted as he said, "I ju
Julien’s thin lips moved, but he was struck speechless.That was right. The only one she had a grudge against was Lyra, so the only suspect was Lyra.“I’ll get to the bottom of this.” Julien’s shoulders shook as he put on his clothes.Sydney looked at him expressionlessly. “What about after you do? What will you do if Lyra Madden is really behind this?”Julien’s eyes darkened slightly. “It won’t be Lyra.”“Heh.” Sydney sneered. “You’re not answering my question. You haven’t actually thought of that possibility, have you?”A glint flashed in Julien’s eyes. “If it really was Lyra who did it, I’ll have her apologize to you.”“Another apology?” Sydney secretly rolled her eyes.Julien’s brows knitted into a frown. “What do you want then?”“This here says that I was the one who came in between you and Lyra six years ago. I would be letting the person who posted this Tweet down if I didn’t do as they say. So, what I want is very simple. If it really was Lyra who did this, I want you
