My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit
Chapter 526 Julien Brought up the Bet

Sydney's heart started thumping, and she blushed. She lowered her head and didn't say anything.

Julien beamed at Sydney's reaction. He wrapped his arms around her feet a little tighter.

Sydney felt her feet touching his solid chest.

Sydney tried to draw her feet back in embarrassment.

"Don't move!" Julien clutched her feet tighter to keep her from withdrawing them.

Sydney froze. "Uh... You'd better let go of me. This is so awkward!"

"You'll have to get used to it." Julien looked at her.

Sydney blinked and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Julien replied, "Because I'll be doing a lot of such things for you in the future. How can you not get used to it?"

Sydney blushed more. "Sounds like you are pretty sure I will accept anything you do for me."

"I'll try to make you accept it." Julien smiled, "By then, we should be together."

Sydney bit her lip and muttered, "You're dreaming. I'm not going to be with you."

Julien's eyes darkened for a moment. But soon, he perked up and curled his lips." Who knows what will happen in the future?

But..."

"What?" Sydney looked at him.

Julien replied, "Do you remember the bet we made earlier?"

Sydney's eyes twinkled, and she replied," Yes."

Julien had said before that he wanted to get Sydney back, but she hated him so much at the time.

Then Julien made a bet on whether he could make her fall in love with him again.

Sydney said she would never, ever get back with him in her life.

"Why are you talking about it?" Sydney was confused.

Julien seemed to have something on his mind. He dropped his eyelids to hide the obscurity in his eyes. "I want to change the bet." "How?" Sydney was puzzled.

Julien nodded slightly, "Yes, I want to change the bet. I didn't give a time limit to the bet. Now I want to add a time limit.

How about three years?"

Julien held up three fingers.

Sydney frowned, "Why does it have to be three years?"

Usually, when people made special engagements, the time always meant something special.

A bet was also a special kind of engagement, so Sydney didn't think Julien had just blurted out three years.

Otherwise, why did he not say one year or five years but three years?

Julien didn't expect Sydney to be so perceptive. She immediately sensed that three years was special to Julien. He smiled nonchalantly, "There is nothing special. I just thought it was the right time." "Really?" Sydney narrowed her eyes. She obviously didn't believe it.

Her instincts told her it wasn't that simple and that Julien was lying.

Julien nodded, "Yes! So how do we say three years? During these three years, I will do everything I can to make you fall in love with me again, so I hope you won't reject me. If you really believe that you won't fall in love with me, you shouldn't be afraid of me, right? Because no matter what I do, it won't change your feelings about me."

Sydney compressed her lips.

She somehow felt Julien was deliberately daring her. Or was it just her delusion?

"Sydney, what do you think?" As Sydney didn't say anything, Julien asked again. His eyes flickered.

Sydney lowered her eyes and hesitated for a few seconds, and she nodded her head at last, "Okay, I'll take the bet."

It didn't matter if he was daring her on purpose or not.

Julien was right. Sydney believed she wouldn't fall in love with him, so whatever he did would be futile.

So, Sydney didn't have to reject him. She was sure of her feelings.

"Now that you agreed, then..."

"Wait a minute." Sydney suddenly raised her hand and interrupted Julien.

Julien looked at her, "What's wrong?"

"You haven't made it clear what you will do if I haven't fallen in love with you in three years." Sydney asked.

Julien replied, "If you don't fall in love with me in three years, then it is over. I will let you go, truly. I will keep my words. But if you fall in love with me, then we ll get married, okay?" Sydney clenched her palms. She didn't know how to answer him.

However, seeing the expectation in Julien's eyes, she suddenly had the answer in her mind. She nodded, "Yes! If I fall in love with you, I will marry you!"

Julien curled up the corners of his mouth." Then it looks like I should start planning our wedding."

Sydney was already in love with him. She just hadn't realized it yet.

So next, Julien just needed to slowly guide her to realize how she felt and accept it.

Sydney had no idea what was going through Julien's mind. When she heard him say it was time to prepare for the wedding, she couldn't help but curl her lips, "You seem very confident." "Of course. You gave me confidence." Julien looked at her and said meaningfully.

Sydney frowned, "What do you mean?"

Julien smiled and changed the topic, "Take a nap. You must be tired. I'll wake you up when we arrive."

"No, I'm not sleepy." Sydney shook her head.

Soon, however, she drifted off.

As the car waited for the green light, Sydney leaned against the car door. A huge drowsiness overwhelmed her, and she felt her eyelids drooping all the time.

And finally, she couldn't fight the sleepiness. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Julien smiled as he watched Sydney nodding her head from time to time, and his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Stubborn woman. Why are you not honest?" Julien murmured as he reached out and gently touched Sydney's face.

Sydney seemed a little disturbed by his touch. She frowned and made a low hum.

Julien stopped messing with her and withdrew his hand, "Sleep well."

Sydney was really tired.

She had a busy day at the office and then went to a party in the evening and drank a lot. Finally, she was scared by Lyra's suicide.

It was a tough day for her. She was definitely tired.

Julien was also feeling a little tired.

He rubbed his temples and said to Zach," Drive faster."

"Yes." Zach responded. Then he sped up the car.

Soon, they arrived in Shallow Bay.

Zach parked the car under Sydney's apartment building. He unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. Then he opened the back seat door. Julien was bending down to put on Sydney's shoes.

Zach stood outside the car, "Mr. Flint, are you going to wake Ms. Raines up?"

"No." Julien shook his head. His eyes fell on Sydney's serene face.

Sydney looked so lovely when she was asleep. How could he bear to wake her up?

"Carry her upstairs." After putting Sydney's shoes on, Julien said to Zach.

Zach was surprised, "Me?"

"Who else?" Julien lifted his bandaged left arm.

If his arm was fine, how could he possibly let another man carry the woman he loved? No way!
