My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit
Chapter 614 The Surprised Sean

She knew why the chairman hated Madeline so much.

She heard it from Luke. Six years ago, when Skylight Corporation was on the verge of bankruptcy, Madeline and her mother didn't stick together with their former chairman. On the contrary, they stole the earnings of his shares and left. Disheartened by it, the former chairman committed suicide by jumping off the building.

In a sense, Madeline and her mother indirectly caused his death. Now that the company was revitalized, Madeline came back to snatch Sydney's shares.

Sydney had every reason to hate her.

While Sean was lost in thought, the elevator arrived.

Sydney got on it first.

Outside the building, she saw in the near distance the man leaning against his Maybach.

With his head low, he was typing on the screen of his phone.

Soon, Sydney felt the vibration of her phone.

She knew that he had sent her a text message.

Next to her, Sean saw Julien and said to Sydney in surprise, "Ms. Raines, what brings Mr. Flint here?"

Sydney didn't reply. Instead, she slightly curled her lips and went over.

Sean trotted to catch up.

Upon hearing the footsteps, Julien raised his head and looked over. His eyes softened at the sight of Sydney. "Here you are."

"Yeah." Sydney nodded.

Sean blinked in surprise.

'What's going on?'

'So, they had an appointment!'

On top of that, she somehow felt that the air between them was subtle.

"Where is Madeline?" Julien looked around.

Sydney pointed to a van not far away. "In that van."

Julien looked over and bowed his head. "Take my car. Get in."

"Okay." Sydney nodded in consent.

Julien stretched out his hand and opened the car door.

Sydney bent down and sat in.

Julien looked back and tossed the Maybach keys to Sean.

Quick in reaction, the secretary caught them and looked at them with confusion. "Mr. Flint?"

"You'll drive," Julien said simply before getting into the car and sitting down beside Sydney.

Sean froze, unsure of what to do.

She worked for Sydney, but Julien boasted a higher status than her boss. She couldn't just defy his order.

For a moment, she was at a loss.

In the car, Sydney noticed Sean's hesitance, rolled down the window, leaned over Julien, and stuck her head out. "Just listen to him. He's going with us." "Got it." With Sydney's confirmation, Sean nodded in obedience, went around the front of the car, and sat in the driver's seat.

The car started steadily.

On the road, Julien opened the compartment, took out a bottle of drink, unscrewed the lid, and handed it to Sydney, "Have some." "What's this?" Sydney took it with a puzzled face.

Julien chuckled and replied, "A kind of nutritional drink that has the effect of antifatigue. I had Zach buy it before coming here." "Really? I'll try it." Sydney looked at the drink for a while before throwing her head back.

After a few gulps, she put the bottle down and put the lid back on.

Julien took out a handkerchief from the breast pocket, wiped the corners of her mouth, and asked softly," How does it taste?" Sydney put the drink aside. "Not bad. Sweet and sour. Refreshing."

"I'm glad to hear that." Julien folded up the handkerchief and put it into his suit pocket.

At the front, Sean was surprised to see it through the rearview mirror.

'What did Mr. Flint just do? Wiping the mouth of my boss?'

'And she is fine with it.'

'Well...'

Sean swallowed, shaken inside.

'Did Ms. Raines and Mr. Flint get back together?'

There were such rumors in the circle, but she had sniffed at them and thought it was impossible.

Now she felt the rumors were true.

In her view, this was not a bad thing.

At the very least, Luke would no longer cling to the hope that Sydney would fall in love with him.

Sean dropped her eyelids and felt sorry for Luke.

Soon, they arrived at the cemetery.

Sean parked the car.

Julien opened the car door, got off first, and stretched

out his right hand.

Embarrassed by his gesture, Sydney looked at him and then gave him her hand.

Julien clutched her hand and pulled her up.

Sean watched on the side. Now she was certain that they had got back together.

She just had no idea when this happened. A few days ago, Sydney's attitude toward Mr. Flint was cold.

There had been no sign of this.

All of a sudden, Sydney and Julien got intimate. Sure enough, there was something beyond her knowledge.

She wondered if Luke had learned about this.

If he did, he would probably drown his sorrow again.

Sydney's voice came, bringing her back to reality. Her eyes flickering, she pushed the glasses up the bridge of her nose and responded, "Ms. Raines."

"Is there anything on your mind? I've called out to you several times." Sydney looked at her with concern," What's wrong? You don't look well."

"Nothing." Sean shook her head, "I'm fine and just thought about something. It's alright. How may I be of service?"

"I asked you to buy flowers. Where are they?" Sydney asked, looking at her secretary.

Sean pointed to the van ahead of them. "It's in that van. Just a second, I'm getting them for you right

away."

"Okay, go ahead." Sydney nodded.

Sean then trotted to the van.

Standing in front of the Maybach, Sydney looked at the entrance of the cemetery. Her face gradually turned sad. Even the air about her turned gloomy. Julien was aware that the sight stirred up her feelings. It was normal since her loved ones were buried there.

He knew such feelings well.

In a few days, he would experience it himself once again.

Julien pursed his thin lips and pushed his thought to the back of his mind. His hand patted Sydney on the shoulder as he reminded her, "There come the flowers. II Sydney looked up and saw Sean returning with two bouquets in her arms. Lilies and lavender.

The lilies were her father's favorite while her mother liked lavender.

Sydney reached out her hands, ready to take the flowers, but Julien took a step forward. "I'll carry them for you."

Sydney hummed, let Sean give the flowers to him, and said, "I'm going to see my mother first. As for

Madeline, tell the security guards to take her to my father. Remember, let her kneel in front of the tombstone."

"Got it!" Sean straightened up.

Sydney turned back to Julien and said, "Let's go."

"Yeah." Julien slightly lifted his chin and followed her into the cemetery.

It had been 21 years since Sydney's mother passed away. The tombstone was old, and the picture on it had been mottled by the wind and rain.

Sadness got the better of her, and her eyes stung.

She opened her bag and looked for something to wipe the tombstone.

Unfortunately, there wasn't anything suitable.

She frowned and prepared to wipe it with her sleeve. Just then, a hand stretched over, and she saw a handkerchief.
