Chapter 985 This Wine Is So Sweet"Cheers!" Sydney clinked glasses with Julien.After a crisp sound, she withdrew her glass and tilted her head to take a sip of wine.The moment it entered her mouth, she made a surprised sound.Julien turned his head to look at her and asked, "What's wrong?"Sydney put the glass down and said, "This wine is so sweet."Julien smiled and nodded, "Of course, I chose it for you. It's more like juice than wine and not as strong as other red wines. It's sweet and suitable for women with low alcohol tolerance."That's really good." Sydney blinked, tilted her head, and took another sip."Do you like it?" Julien asked, fondling the glass.Sydney replied, "Yeah. It's perfect.""I'll send a few cases to Shallow Bay. I have a winery making this wine," Julien said as he took a sip.Sydney was somewhat tempted, but she did not immediately agree. She asked, "How much for a bottle of this wine?""It is quite cheap. 30,000 dollars a bottle," Julien answered
Chapter 986 The Chosen OneAnyway, Sydney was now embarrassed.She probably knew why the assistant had that look on her face when she saw her and Julien going back to the lounge.The assistant might have heard it too.It was so awkward.Sydney wanted to cry.Julien was amused. "I thought that you had pushed me away because you had suddenly thought of something big, but it turned out to be these small things. It was no big deal. We are lovers. It is normal for us to canoodle. Sofia is an adult. She will not laugh at us, and in the future, we won't see her often, so we don't have to worry about that, right?""Well..." Sydney put her hands down from her face in a daze. "That seems to make sense.""That’s it," Julien stroked her head."But I still feel embarrassed. It's all your fault!" Sydney pouted.Julien smiled slightly and took her into his arms. "Okay, why don't you hit me?""You think I don't dare?" Sydney said, waved her fist, and punched Julien's chest.But her actions
Chapter 987 Zach Complained About the Couple in His Mind"No." Sydney hurriedly waved her hand before Julien came over to her. "No, I'm not a cripple. Why do I need you to pick me up?" As she said, she started to put on her shoes.Julien stood beside her and raised his eyebrows. "Are you sure?""I'm sure." She nodded as she put on her slippers.Julien snickered, "Fine then! Let me see if you can walk on your own."A little confused, Sydney sensed a hint of mockery in his tone.She looked up at him, but she didn't notice anything strange. She shook her head again, albeit a little dizzy, "Why can't I walk on my own? Surely, I can."Then she jerked to her feet.However, her legs instantly went weak when she stood up. She lunged forward.Sydney was terrified and her face turned pale. She let out a shriek.Julien calmly took a step forward and caught her in his arms.Sydney fell into his arms. Smelling the minty scent on his body and feeling the warmth of his arms, she was reliev
Chapter 988 Julien Removed His Robe in Her Face"..." Sydney was speechless.Julien had a point. She couldn't argue with him.She couldn't foresee what would happen. She couldn't see the accident in advance. It could happen in the next second or tomorrow.After a few seconds of silence, Sydney shook Julien's arm and played cute, "OK. I'll be careful. Don't be mad, okay?"She tilted her head to look at him, and she looked so cute.Julien wasn't angry. He just showed an angry face to let her know he was worried about her.Now Sydney admitted she was wrong and he couldn't keep the angry face on.How could he keep that stern face when she looked so cute?Julien cupped Sydney's cheek with his hand, and then he squeezed her cheek until her lips puckered.Julien kissed her on the lips. Then he released her cheek. "Okay. Let's go. Time for breakfast."Sydney let out a snort.'Damn it! He took advantage of me again!'Julien noticed Sydney's annoyance, but he ignored it. He had a sm
Chapter 989 He's DifferentHearing Zach's words, Julien recalled it. What Zach had said was the fact.'Not long after I divorced Sydney, I took Lyra to the resort to take a vacation.'Sydney and Luke also went there.'That time, Lyra deliberately splashed body wash on the ground in Sydney's shower stall. Sydney slipped and fell into a coma.'If Sydney hadn't been found in time, she would have been dead.'When he thought of it now, he still felt terrified and hated himself.'Although I had been hypnotized and thought that I loved Lyra, I didn't expect myself to lose conscience. When I learned later that Lyra wanted to kill Sydney, I still chose to calm the situation to cover for Lyra, who almost killed Sydney.'What was worse, this kind of thing happened more than once.'Though I didn't mean to do those things, I can't deny that I did those things. It's a fact that I hurt my beloved woman many times for a vicious woman.'Seeing that Julien frowned and his gaze became guilty, Z
Chapter 990 A Thorough ExaminationSydney teased Julien, "I thought that you even would be jealous of doctors."In the next second, Julien reached out his hand, held her waist, and pulled her into his arms. He pressed his forehead against hers and said in a deep and pleasant voice, "I'm not that narrow-minded to regard doctors as normal men."Anyway, in Julien's eyes, Finn wasn't a normal man.Now that Finn wasn't a normal man, Julien wouldn't be jealous of him.Sydney chuckled. "You're right. Mr. Flint is the most generous man.""You're right." Julien lifted his chin. Although he kept calm, she could clearly feel that he felt proud.She felt funny and shook her head. "Alright, let go of me. Doctor James is waiting for me."Julien raised his head and glanced at Finn, who stood behind Sydney not far away. "Just let him wait for a while. It doesn't matter."After Julien finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.Finn leaned against the door frame, put one hand
Chapter 991 The Report Came OutFinn just glanced at Julien and Sydney without saying anything. Then he walked to the opposite glass medicine cabinet, opened a cabinet door, took out a box of digestion tablets, and threw it directly at Julien. Julien grasped that box steadily, halfway up in the air. His posture was so handsome that Sydney's eyes glowed. Meeting her adoring gaze, Julien couldn’t help smiling proudly. Finn returned to his seat and suggested, "Take two is enough." Julien did not answer him but just handed two tablets to Sydney as Finn had suggested and said to Sydney gently, "Eat them." Sydney did have a little stomach distension, so she naturally took the digestion tablets directly and put them into her mouth. The digestion tablets were not bitter but tasted good and even could be seen as chewing candies, so the water Julien had poured for Sydney was of no use and was still on the table. After a while, Sydney's physical examination report came out, and a
Chapter 992 The Past Medical History of the Madden FamilyThat person had his back to Julien. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned around slowly. Unexpectedly, it was actually Finn, who had said he was going to work! When Julien and Finn saw each other, there was no surprise on their faces. Obviously, they had made an appointment to come here. "Does the report show that Leaf has that problem?" Julien looked at Finn and spoke in a deep voice. Finn leaned against the wall, "Luckily, she's fine. She doesn't inherit kidney failure from Brandon." When Julien heard his answer, his taut face finally relaxed a little, "That's good news." But he was not completely relieved. He remembered that Brandon's illness occurred a few months ago. In other words, Brandon had no kidney problems for more than fifty years, and the illness came all of a sudden. Soon Julien shook his head and thought, ‘It should not be all of a sudden. Brandon’s kidneys may have started to deteriorate in
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
