My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit
Chapter 646 Sydney's Promise

Sydney closed the door and walked to her desk, "I didn't expect you to come over so early."

"I have some business to take care of this afternoon, so I have to go to the hospital early." Julien stood up and replied.

Sydney nodded, "Why didn't you tell me before you came?"

"I wanted to surprise you." Julien smiled at her.

Sydney rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry, but it wasn't a good surprise." "Really?" Julien's eyes dimmed. "I thought you'd be happy to see me." "OK. stop it." Sydney knew well that Julien was faking a disappointed face. He tried to get her to admit that she was happy to see him.

However, Julien wouldn't stop it. He was determined he wouldn't stop it until Sydney was honest with him.

He looked at Sydney with a sullen look, and the corners of Sydney's mouth twitched. She was amused.

'All right! Forget about it!'

Sydney rubbed her temples and said softly," Okay! I admit I'm happy to see you. All right?"

The disappointed look on Julien's face immediately disappeared. He regained his composure and nodded, "OK."

Sydney shook her head. "You win." Julien laughed lightly. Then something came to his mind, and he asked, "You just finished a meeting. Have you had lunch?"

"No." Sydney put her laptop on the desk and walked to the water dispenser. "How about you?"

"Me neither. I came to have lunch with you. " Julien replied.

Sydney brought two glasses of water. She handed one to Julien. "OK. I'll ask Sean to bring us lunch. What do you want to have?"

"I don't know. I like everything you like." Julien replied.

Sydney threw a glance at him. She didn't ask him again. Then she picked up the phone and called Sean. She told Sean some dishes. Julien's thick eyebrows raised slightly when he heard the names of the dishes.

Those were all his favorite foods.

"Send it to my office. Remember, bring two sets of cutlery." After telling Sean what she wanted, Sydney hung up the phone.

Suddenly, Julien reached out, wrapped his arm around her waist, and clutched her up to him.

Sydney was caught off guard. Her body fell backwards, and she then fell into his lap. She was taken aback. "Julien, what are you doing?" "Sydney," Julien said, resting his chin on her shoulder. In a soft voice, he whispered,

"You're so good to me. Those are all my favorites."

Sydney turned her head to look at Julien." Well, you're the guest! Of course. I'll order what you like."

The guest?'

Julien looked up at her with sharp eyes. "Aren't I your family?"

Sydney smiled at him, "You're not yet!"

"I will be sooner or later." Julien hugged her tighter and said with a flourish, "So I'm right. I'm your family. I'm just speaking of it a bit ahead of time."

"I'm not sure." Sydney removed his hand and got up from his lap. "Who knows what the future holds? Maybe we'll break up again soon."

Immediately, Julien's face went gloomy. The air around him cooled.

"Don't say that!" Julien grabbed Sydney's hand and gazed at her seriously. "We'll never break up again! Never!"

Julien had such a serious look on his face that Sydney didn't know how to answer him.

She was just joking, so she deliberately said that they might break up again. She didn't expect Julien to be so serious about it.

Sydney sighed and squeezed Julien's hand. Then she said with a tone of assurance, "As long as you don't change your mind. I'll always stay with you. I will never leave you.

But if Julien changed his mind, she would not stay.

She wouldn't be as foolish as she used to be. She used to think that if she stuck around, he would fall in love with her someday.

Sydney had grown more sober.

If Julien changed his mind, she would leave him without hesitation.

If he had changed his mind, why would she stay?

She'd rather leave quietly to save herself some decency.

Hearing Sydney's words, Julien was a bit relieved.

He stood up, took her into his arms, and whispered, "I will never change my mind! Absolutely not!"

Sydney lowered her eyes. In fact, she didn't believe his promise. No one knew what would happen in the future. But she wouldn't be bothered by it. At least, for the present, she was happy with his promise. Sydney lifted her arms and hugged Julien. She buried her head against his chest and let out a soft hum to show she understood.

Julien curled his thin lips and smiled. His chin gently brushed the top of her head.

The two embraced each other and enjoyed this quiet and cozy moment. However, within a few minutes, the door to the office was pushed open.

Sean came in with several lunch boxes. " Ms. Raines, I brought lunch..."

Before Sean could finish her sentence, she saw Sydney and Julien hugging each other there. She was dumbfounded. After a few moments, she came to her senses and hastily apologized, "Sorry to interrupt. This is not a good time for me to come. Don't mind me. I'll be back later." Sean said as she stepped back in embarrassment.

Sydney was amused. She got out of Julien's arms and called out to Sean. "It's okay.

Don't leave. Since you come, leave lunch here." "...OK." Sean smiled awkwardly. Then she walked into the office.

As she got closer to them, she could feel more pressure as Julien kept staring at her with sullen eyes. He was obviously not happy with Sean as she had barged in and ruined the moment.

Sean regretted it so much. If she had known the two were hugging in the office, she would never have come in. It was so awkward.

Sean put the lunch boxes on Sydney's desk. Then she took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Enjoy your lunch. I'm going back to work?" Sean gestured to the office door. Sydney's lips parted. She was about to tell

Sean she could go.

However, Julien spoke, "OK. Close the door. Next time, knock! Don't just push the door in. It's etiquette."

"Yes, I get it, Mr. Flint. I'll be on my way." Sean hurriedly promised. Then she turned and quickly exited the office.

The door was closed again. Sydney and Julien were left alone in the office.

Sydney glared at Julien in dismay. "What were you doing? Sean is not only my secretary but also my friend. I told her she could come into my office anytime during break time." Julien took the lunch boxes and headed for the couch. "That was before. But she can't do that from now on. You have me now." "What do you mean?" Sydney followed him.
