Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 560

Julien was still alone in the elevator, waiting for Sydney.

Furthermore, his legs weren't fully healed, so he couldn't balance with such a large shake of the ground. And his sprained ankle might have been injured once more.

Sydney's eyes flashed a look of worry and eagerness as she thought. Then she propped her hands on the carpet and quickly stood up from the ground.

The ground, on the other hand, was trembling so violently that she nearly fell again moments after standing up.

Fortunately, she held the wall beside her to keep her balance. She couldn't approach Julien in these high heels without falling.

She hurriedly kicked off her shoes without hesitation after taking a deep breath and rushed toward Julien while holding onto the wall.

She did not slow down in the least, even though she was stumbling and staggering.

She needed to get to Julien as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would be uneasy.

She thought, "Julien, I hope nothing happens to you."

She prayed from the bottom of her heart.

Julien, on the other hand, was smoking while waiting for Sydney to return, leaning against the elevator wall.

What he did not expect, however, was for the earthquake to strike without warning after he had waited for a short time.

He would have been thrown to the ground if he hadn't been leaning against the wall.

Julien extinguished his cigarette and tossed it into the trash can as he walked forward, his face tense.

He was going to look for Sydney.

He did not know if she would be scared of the earthquake.

Julien looked grim when he thought that Sydney might be afraid. Without hesitation, he quickened his pace, even if he might have sprained his ankle again.

He only wanted to get to her side as quickly as possible to reassure her that she shouldn't be afraid and that he would be there for her.

Julien was soon walking around the corner of a corridor when he noticed Sydney leaning against the wall as she walked toward him.

His eyes gleamed as he exclaimed," Sydney!"

Sydney came to a halt in her tracks when she heard the man's voice. Then she noticed the man around the corner, who was also holding the wall in front of her. Her eyes lit up as well. "Julien!" Sydney didn't think much about why he was here.

When she saw him, she only realized she had stopped panicking and was no longer afraid. She took her hands off the wall and ran toward Julien as she considered this.

She didn't stop even though she stumbled as the ground beneath her shook.

Julien, on the other hand, became concerned when he saw this. He rushed toward her because he was afraid she would fall. He opened his arms and was ready to catch Sydney when he saw she was approaching.

He stumbled backward and finally held on to Sydney as they both fell to the ground by the time she landed in his embrace.

Sydney was on top of Julien, who was at the bottom.

Fortunately, the floor was carpeted, so he didn't suffer much from the fall. Otherwise, he would have suffered a head injury.

However, Sydney was still worried about Julien. She wanted to know whether he is injured or not, so she hurriedly moved away from his arms and propped her hand on the carpet before asking him urgently." Julien, are you okay?"

"Yes." Julien nodded as he was about to get up.

She took his arm in hers and assisted him in sitting up. Then she sat next to him and asked, "By the way, why did you come?"

"I was worried about you, so I came over to look for you," Julien said after straightening his clothes.

Sydney was stunned and said, "Did you come because you were concerned about me as well?"

"Did you care about me as well?" After hearing her words, he fixed his gaze on her after raising an eyebrow. "So Sydney, I'm sure that you really came to me because you were worried about me, right? Is that how you lost your shoes while you were running to look for me?" His eyes darkened as he stared at her bare feet.

Under his gaze, she felt awkward and tried to shrink her toes before attempting to hide her feet under the hem of her skirt. Then she averted her gaze and said, "No, that's nonsense. I removed my high heels because I was afraid they would cause me to fall during the earthquake."

He chuckled. "You only said you didn't lose the shoes, but you did not deny that you came to me because you were worried about me. Is that to say you were concerned and came looking for me, Sydney?" Sydney lowered her head and remained silent.

Julien then ruffled her hair with his hand."

That's all I need, Sydney. I'm very happy."

"What is there to be happy about? I was only concerned about you." As she muttered, her red lips twitched.

After that, he took his hand away. "Of course I'm happy about it. It's because you're concerned about me, which means you genuinely care about me."

"Absolutely not. Who wants to be concerned about you?" said Sydney. She looked like a cat with its tail stepped on. Then she glared at him with widened eyes, denying that she cared about him.

She did not care about Julien.

Julien knew she wouldn't admit it, so he smiled and shook his head, saying, "Okay, okay. You don't give a damn about me. Alright?"

Sydney snorted and didn't say anything.

She decided to let him go.

After a long time, the tremors began to fade, and calm returned. She exhaled a sigh of relief as she looked up at the chandelier, which was no longer swaying." It appears that the earthquake has subsided." He gave a slight nod. "Yes."

She then stood up and reached for his arm, pulling him up from the ground with her.

"It's fortunate that the structure's earthquake protection measures are adequate. Nothing has collapsed, except for the frightening tremors. Otherwise, we might have been..."

She couldn't help but shiver at the thought of Julien and herself being buried beneath the relics.

He gently tapped her forehead. "Do not think too much. This location is near the sea, and quakes on the seabed are common. Thus, the surrounding land would often experience tremors. As a result, the majority of buildings in this city have the most advanced earthquakeprevention measures and can withstand large earthquakes without collapsing. Stop scaring yourself."

Sydney slapped his hand away and said angrily, "It's all right. Don't knock my head."

Julien put his hands in the pocket of his pants as he laughed. "Alright. Where did you lose your shoes?"

"Outside the dressing room," said Sydney as she gestured in the direction from which she had entered.

He took his hand out of his pocket and held her hands. "Come on! Let's get your shoes." After saying that, he pulled her towards the dressing room.

Sydney froze as she watched him take her hand. His hand was large and warm in the palm, making her reluctant to shake it off.

She didn't even shake his hand, allowing him to lead her forward.

They were soon outside the dressing room.

From afar, Julien noticed a pair of high heels that had been left on the carpet.

He let go of Sydney's hand and walked over to the shoes. Then she looked at her empty hand and pursed her lips slightly.

She should have felt relieved when he let go of her hand, but she didn't.

Instead, she felt empty inside her heart and very disappointed.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked when Julien returned with her high heels and saw her staring at her hands.

Sydney's eyes flickered slightly as she put down her hand and regained her composure. Then she calmed the subtle emotions in her heart as she chuckled and said, "Nothing."
