Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! -
Chapter 462 Won't Fall in Love with Him
Sydney looked at Luke's black eyes and felt as if he could see her through. She finally stopped lying and admitted. "Alright. I admit that I'm a little angry. Do men all dislike to express their whole thoughts?" "What do you mean?" Luke blinked.
She withdrew her hand from the lock of the car window. "When men want to say something, they always say parts of what they want to say and stop abruptly after they arouse others' curiosity."
"So you feel unhappy for such a trivial matter?" Luke felt ridiculous.
She compressed her lips and said, "I just feel that I have been tricked."
Luke looked at her and said seriously," Darling, don't you feel that you're strange recently?"
She felt confused and asked, "Why do you say so?"
Luke held the steering wheel tightly and said, "I mean your attitude towards the matters about Julien. You had been aloof towards him since you divorced him. You didn't care about him no matter what he had done. However, haven't you realized that you care much more about him and become moody recently?"
After Sydney heard that, her heart did a flip-flop. Then she looked away. "How is it possible? You must have misjudged me."
"No, I haven't. I saw that clearly. What happened just now is the evidence." He pointed at her phone and said in a deep voice, "If Julien didn't finish speaking but aroused your curiosity in the past, you wouldn't be angry but think that he was out of his mind. You didn't care about him, so you didn't feel angry. However, you become angry now. It shows that you start to care about him."
Her pupils contracted.
I care about Julien?'
'No! It's impossible!'
'I have had no feelings for him for a long time. How can I care about him?'
Thinking of that, she took a deep breath, calmed down and said coldly, "I don't care about him at all. I may pay more attention to him recently, but it's because he saved me, so I change my attitude towards him. If I were aloof towards him like before, wouldn't I be too ungrateful?" "Julien saved you. He is your benefactor, so you shouldn't be aloof towards him, but it doesn't mean that you should care about him so much. Thus, are you taking that he is your benefactor as an excuse to cover the fact that you start to care about him?" Luke stared at her as if he wanted to see her through.
She panicked, held her phone tightly and said in a sullen voice, "Of course not."
"Is it true?" Luke narrowed his eyes.
She looked at him angrily. "Believe it or not. Don't question me as if I'm a criminal. You're not my father!"
Hearing the anger in her tone, he realized that he had gone too far. He apologized, "I'm sorry, darling. I don't mean to hurt you. I'm just worried about you. I'm worried that you will fall in love with Julien again, so I..." She frowned and asked frankly, "Why do you think that I will fall in love with Julien again?"
Luke sighed and said, "Because you have changed your attitude towards Julien recently and he saved you. He disregarded his life to save you. It's impressive and moving. You must have been moved when you saw Julien jumping down the cliff."
She opened her mouth but didn't refute.
She was impressed and moved by him at that time indeed.
Julien disregarded his life and jumped down the cliff to save her. Not everyone was able to do that. Layden and Julien all said that they loved her, but only Julien was able to do that.
Thus, how could she not be moved?
Seeing that Sydney kept silent, Luke sighed and said, "You can't deny that you're moved because Julien jumped down the cliff to save you, so I'm worried that you will fall in love with him again. You divorced him with difficulty. I don't want you to fall in love with him and get hurt again."
It was his true thoughts. He didn't want her to remarry Julien and live the suffering life like when she married Julien during the six years.
Now she had her career. She was aggressive and had energy. She was shining and looked much better.
Of course, he had his own selfish reason. He didn't want her to fall in love with Julien again because if so she would stay by Julien's side again and he would lose the chance to win her heart.
Sydney didn't know Luke's thoughts and lowered her head. Luke couldn't see her expression. She said calmly, "I won't fall in love with Julien again. I got hurt once. I'm not that stupid to suffer from it again. There is no need for you to worry about it."
Luke's eyes lit up. He asked, "Darling, is it true?"
Sydney hesitated and said, "Yes."
Luke smiled and said, "It's great. Don't forget what you have said. You won't fall in love with Julien again."
She looked up at him and said, "Of course!"
"Now that you say so, I'm relieved. Alright, let's set off." The red light was finally over, and the green light was lit. He shifted the gear and got the car started again.
Sydney looked down and covered her expression. She clenched her fists tightly.
'Even if Luke didn't remind me, I wouldn't fall in love with Julien!'
'I won't!'
Although she thought so, she felt disturbed somehow.
As for why she felt disturbed, she didn't know the reason and didn't want to figure it out.
Her intuition told her that she would better not figure it out. If she figured it out, something might be out of her control.
At 2 p.m., they arrived at her grandfather's old residence finally.
The old residence was antique and had two yards.
Sydney's grandfather said that his grandfather was a duke. His Majesty rewarded the residence to his grandfather.
Then it became Sydney's grandfather's ancestral residence.
Luke looked up at the old residence and marveled, "Your grandfather's residence is an antique, but it looks shabby. Many places have decayed. It needs repair. Otherwise, your grandfather can't live here anymore two years later."
She took out the key that her grandfather gave her several years ago. She opened the lock as she said, "Grandpa has been on business trips around the world and rarely lives at home, so the residence decays quickly. I will arrange for someone to repair it later. After my grandpa retires, he will enjoy his old age here."
It was strange. As for this kind of old residences, if one lived here, it wouldn't decay.
But if no one lived here, it would decay quickly. It even might collapse soon.
Luke touched his chin, looked around and said, "The place is great. The environment is good, and the air is fresh. Even I want to enjoy my old age here " Sydney pulled a wry face and said, "Then you need to wait for several decades.
Alright, the lock is opened. Come in."
She took down the key and pushed the door.
The door hadn't been opened for a long time. When she pushed it open, it cracked like the sounds in horror movies and made Luke's hair stand on end.
He tucked his neck into the collar, rubbed his arms and said, "Darling, why is it so cold? Is there any ghost inside?"
She glanced at him coldly and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If you're afraid, stay outside.
Then she walked through the door.
