Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 461 Sydney Was Annoyed

"OK. Take your time." Luke waved his hand.

Sydney went back to her room, got her clothes, and then went to the bathroom.

Luke sat down on the couch and turned on the TV with the remote control. He then watched TV while waiting for Sydney to finish her shower. After about ten minutes, Sydney came out.

Her hair was wet, and her cheeks had a slight flush. Her eyes were misty. She looked innocent and tempting, which made Luke excited.

Luke's eyes sparkled. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Whoa! Darling, why are you coming out like this? Are you tempting me?

Sydney rolled her eyes at him, "When did I tempt you?"

"Aren't you tempting me now? When a woman comes out of the shower, it's a deadly temptation for a man. Darling, aren't you tempting me?"

Before Luke could finish his sentence, Sydney threw a doll at him.

It hit Luke's forehead. Luke deliberately fell on the couch and let out a groan.

Sydney clapped her hands, "Stop talking about that nonsense! Okay, I'm going to my room to dry my hair. Watch your TV."

Then she went into her room.

Luke rubbed his forehead and sat up.

Looking at the closed door of her room, he was at a loss, his eyes sullen.

Sydney didn't understand him at all.

For so long they had known each other, he had hinted to her that he never thought of her as a bestie, but as the woman he loved. He wanted to be with her. But Sydney never believed it. She thought he was just joking or teasing her, and not serious.

Certainly, it was his own fault.

He never told her outright that he loved her because he didn't have the courage. He was a coward. He had too many scruples.

He was always worried that if he told her he loved her, maybe they wouldn't even be friends.

Luke's mother understood his fears. She had encouraged him to be brave, and that maybe Sydney would be with him if he told her how he felt. But he still couldn't do it.

That was probably why, although Luke met Sydney at the earliest time and they spent the most time together, in the end, she fell in love with another man.

But if he had been braver, wouldn't his relationship with her have been different?

"What are you thinking about?" Sydney's voice rang out as Luke was lost in his thoughts.

Luke's eyes flickered. He collected his thoughts and came back to his senses. "Nothing."

He smiled at her. Her hair was dried. She had tied her hair up into a bun. She had put on light makeup on her face and was now dressed in a casual outfit. She looked less like a mature woman than a college student fresh out of school.

"You look great." Luke complimented her. He turned off the TV and stood up.

Sydney chuckled, "You mean I didn't look great before?"

"No. I just mean that you look more lively today. You're usually more of an office lady. "Luke said, his hands in his pants pockets.

Sydney grabbed her bag, "I'm too sweet looking, not intimidating. I dress up to make myself look sophisticated.

Otherwise, I can't intimidate the staff."

"You have a point." Luke nodded.

"Okay. Let's go." Sydney turned to pull her suitcase.

Luke held out his hand. "Give it to me."

Sydney then gave Luke her suitcase. She wasn't too polite with him.

Leaving the apartment, they drove toward the highway out of town.

Not long after they got on their way, Sydney's cell phone rang.

She took out her phone and cast a glance at it. She was surprised to see Julien's name on the screen.

Luke glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's Julien," Sydney was honest. She showed Luke her phone.

Luke curled his lips, "What's he calling you for?"

"I'm not sure. I'll find it out after I answer the phone." Sydne then answered the phone.

Julien's deep voice came in, "Are you on your way?"

Sydney answered, "We just left. Is there something wrong?"

"No. I just call to tell you if Layden contacts you later and mentions Burton's whereabouts to you, let me know." On the other end of the line, Julien said gently. He was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his ward and looking out of it. The leaves on the trees outside the window had all gone, leaving only the bare branches of the trees.

Sydney nodded, "OK, but..."

"What's wrong?" When Julien heard the hesitation in her tone, his face tightened up, a hint of concern in his eyes.

Sydney shook her head, "Nothing. I'm not sure whether Layden will contact me or tell me where Burton is." "What's going on? Did you guys have a falling out?" Julien raised an eyebrow.

Sydney rubbed her brow, "No, we didn't. Layden has developed a dual personality now."

"What?" Julien was stunned. Then he got serious. "You're saying that Layden is now having another personality?"

"Yes." Sydney leaned in the seat. Her eyes looked out the window, showing a confused look. "I don't know the current Layden at all. I don't even know how to get along with him. Even if I ask him where Burton is, I'm afraid he won't tell me."

Julien didn't say anything, his brow furrowed.

How could Layden suddenly have a dual personality?

Julien was aware of Layden's mental illness and knew that Layden had the potential for multiple personalities.

But he couldn't believe that Cayden had really developed multiple personalities and so quickly.

And most importantly, he was not sure if the second personality of Cayden had his previous memories, and if he got the hacking skills. If he didn't, sending someone to keep an eye on him would not help to find Burton.

Julien narrowed his eyes and asked, "What is Cayden like now?"

Sydney recalled the Cayden she saw two days ago. She bit her lower lip and replied, "I have no idea, but I'm sure the current Cayden is dark inside. No one knows what he'll do next."

Julien flattened his lips, "He seems to be dangerous. Don't ask him where Burton is, even if he contacts you. Stay away from him. Don't let him hurt you."

"I know." Sydney nodded.

Julien then said, "That's good. Come back early tomorrow. I want to..."

"What? What do you want?" Sydney was confused by Julien's hesitation. He seemed to want to say something but he didn't.

"Nothing. That's all. Be safe on the road." Then Julien hung up the phone.

Sydney frowned and took the phone down from her ear. Looking at the phone screen, she compressed her lips.

'What was he trying to say?'

'It's annoying to start something but not finish it.'

Sydney put her phone back in her handbag in dismay. Then she propped her elbow on the car window frame and looked out the window sullenly.

Luke caught a glimpse of the sullen look on her face. He asked, "Darling, did he piss you off?"

Sydney froze for a moment. Then she quickly regained her composure. She answered lightly, "No. How could he piss me off?"

"Really?" Luke cocked his head to look at her as they waited for the green light. "But you look unhappy, and it's after you've answered his call. So if it was not Julien who pissed you off, who else could it be?"
