My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit
Chapter 513 Linda Was Julien's Cousin

Linda spun around and then put her hand back on Hunter's shoulder. She pretended not to understand Hunter and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Linda, don't play dumb with me. You and Julien deliberately came over and danced next to Sydney and me. Your purpose was obvious. You wanted to trade partners with Sydney during the partners exchange, didn't you?" Hunter looked down at Linda. He had a sullen face.

Linda curled her red lips and smiled, "Gosh, you're such a smart guy. Julien is my cousin. I must help him get close to the girl he likes." "Even so, it's shameful to get in between others." Hunter pushed Linda away and stopped dancing.

Linda took two steps back before she regained her foot stand. She was not angry. "Sydney's not with you, so it's a fair competition. But you don't have help, which is slightly unfair. You should have seen that Julien and Sydney are in love with each other. Otherwise, do you think Sydney would trade partners with me?"

If Sydney didn't feel anything about Julien, she would never go with Julien even if Julien pulled her over. She probably would have slapped Julien across the face. But she didn't. She followed Julien. What did that mean? It meant that Sydney wanted to dance with Julien too.

Since Linda could see this, and so did Hunter.

Hunter turned his head slightly to look at Sydney and Julien, who were dancing not afar, and his fists tightened with resentment. "Surely I know that they love each other, but..."

"If you know they love each other, why don't you let them be together?" Linda spread her hands and interrupted him, "I know you like Sydney, but Sydney doesn't like you. Why do you have to be so obsessive? In the end, you'll get hurt and watch Julien and Sydney get together. Letting go is the right choice for you."

Hunter lowered his head.

He knew Linda was right, but he wasn't willing to give up.

Although Hunter was a known rich bachelor, he had never fallen in love with any woman.

This was the first time he had fallen in love with a woman. How could he let go so easily?

As Hunter didn't say anything, Linda stepped forward and took his arm, "Okay. We'll talk about it later. Let's dance! There's one more section to go."

"No. I'm not in the mood to dance anymore. Excuse me." Hunter shook off Linda's hand and left the dance floor. He headed straight for the exit of the banquet hall.

Watching Hunter leaving, Linda spat out her tongue, "Geez! I seem to have broken that guy's heart. Julien, you should thank me for what I did for you." Linda looked over at Julien and Sydney and murmured. Sydney had gotten over the shock of being brought over by Julien. She tried to draw her hand back. She wanted to get away from Julien.

But Julien's grip was so tight that she couldn't pull her hand out no matter how hard she tried.

But his grip was tactful. It didn't hurt her.

"Julien, let go of me!" Sydney frowned and hissed.

Julien looked at her, "Don't move. I'm not totally recovered, and I only have one good arm to hold you. If you move too much, what if you get me to run into others and hurt my arm?"

"You deserve it. Why did you come to the dance when you're not even physically well and have one arm bandaged?" Sydney glared at him.

Julien's eyes darkened. "I suddenly feel an impulse to dance."

How could he stand watching her and

Hunter dance?

But he couldn't rush to the dance floor and separate her from Hunter. That would ruin his grandmother's birthday party.

So he had to go to the dance floor himself and quietly take Sydney away from Hunter during the partners exchange.

But Sydney didn't know that. She only heard Julien say that he suddenly felt an impulse to dance.

And she thought that Julien wanted to dance with Linda, so he came to the dance floor. Anger welled up inside her. Her face was gloomy. "If you wanted to dance, why did you take me? Why don't you go to find Linda?"

Julien raised an eyebrow, "Are you being jealous?"

"Huh?" Sydney looked like a cat whose tail

had been stepped on. Her expression changed slightly. Her eyes flickered nervously. In a pitched voice, she retorted," What are you talking about? Why would I be jealous? How could I possibly be jealous? 'I don't love him. Why would I be jealous? I'm not. That's it!' Sydney bit her lower lip.

Julien looked at her and chuckled, "OK. You're not jealous, but I don't want to dance with Linda."

"Why?" Sydney was confused.

Julien opened his thin lips and explained," Linda is my cousin. She wants to dance with Hunter."

"Wait a minute. What did you just say? Linda is your cousin?" Sydney looked up at Julien in surprise.

'If she heard correctly, he just said she was his cousin, right?'

Julien nodded, 'Well, Linda is my cousin. Her full name is Linda Harrow. Her mother is my aunt, so she's my cousin."

Sydney was surprised that Linda was actually Julien's cousin!

Linda was Julien's cousin, not some woman that Julien was attracted to.

So Sydney was mistaken about Julien earlier...

At the thought, Sydney compressed her lips and lowered her head, her cheeks flushed. She felt so embarrassed and had a faint hint of sweetness in her heart.

Although she didn't know why she was cheered up, she could clearly feel her relief, as if a large stone had suddenly been removed from her heart. She was instantly relieved. When Julien saw Sydney's lips curled up, Julien's eyes were so tender.

He knew it wasn't the right time yet, but he really wanted to hold her in his arms.

'Just wait. Hold back a little longer.' Julien told himself.

After a while, the music ended and the dance was over.

Sydney and Julien stood side by side, holding their hands and bowing to the audience.

The guests applauded.

Sydney then straightened up and withdrew her hand from Julien's.

Julien watched his empty hand, and a flash of regret passed through his eyes.

At that moment, Julien's grandmother, helped by Felicia, re-entered the hall and walked towards the stage. The old lady was supposed to give her speech.

Julien turned to Sydney, "Grandma is going to give her speech. I'll go over there. Go take a seat and get something to eat."

Sydney nodded, "OK."

Julien then walked toward his grandmother.

Sydney turned and went to the lounge area.

She hadn't danced in a while, and today she danced from the beginning to the music ended, so she felt a little tired.

When she came to the lounge area, she sat down on the couch after getting a glass of juice. She was taking sips of the juice while watching Julien and his grandmother giving their speech. Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she froze with her glass in her hand.

Where is Hunter?'

Sydney hadn't seen Hunter since Julien took her away.

Sydney hurriedly put down her juice and stood up, looking around for Hunter.

However, after she glanced around the whole banquet hall, she did not see Hunter. She felt guilty.
