Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 1012 A Sudden Change

Moreover, he would rather hope that Sydney could be happy than wish that she could break up.

'It is Julien, not I, who can bring Sydney happiness.

'Even if I hate Julien a lot, I still want to put in a good word for him.

'Well, I am such a great and selfless man.'

Luke thought bitterly to himself, but he had to deliberately praise himself.

Only in this way could he slightly alleviate his bitterness and helplessness.

Sydney didn't know what Luke was thinking about. After listening to his guess and his analysis of Julien, she considered it possible.

Julien's emotions were not stable.

He was detached sometimes while he got angry easily sometimes.

Perhaps she overthought it.

At the thought of it, Sydney felt relieved and smiled at Luke. "Thank you for your comfort. I feel less worried now."

"That's good." Luke nodded and then added, "It's best if there's nothing between you and Julien. If something wrong happens, don't hide it and blame yourself. As long as he treats you badly, you must tell me, and I'll help you punish him at the cost of anything."

When he said this, his expression was extremely firm and serious.

There was a lump in Sydney's throat, as she felt touched. "Okay, thank you, Luke."

"It's all right" Since the green light appeared, Luke looked ahead and restarted the car. While looking at the road ahead and driving, he uttered, "As you regard my parents as your parents, naturally, I'm your elder brother. As your elder brother, I have to protect you all the time and care about you. This is my responsibility. So, you don't have to thank me. This is what I should do for you."

No one knew how bitter Luke was the moment he admitted that he was her elder brother.

If possible, no one wanted to be the brother of the person he loved.

But Luke could only be Sydney's elder brother.

Only by becoming her elder brother could he get closer to her without being rejected.

Sydney didn't see the loneliness and sorrow in Luke's eyes because he was staring at the road ahead. She was moved by his words and answered with slightly red eyes, "I'm very lucky to have a brother like you."

"Is that so? Well, I'm delighted as long as you are happy." Luke nodded.

He hoped that she could be happy, so he chose to quit pursuing her.

He didn't mind being his brother as long as she was happy.

His hope came true.

He should be content since he could protect her as her elder brother.

While talking, they arrived at the appointed place where they would meet Chaim Houston, the bank president. It was a private room in a restaurant.

When a waiter led Sydney and Luke to the room, Chaim had already been waiting for them. He had even ordered drinks.

When seeing Chaim, both Sydney and Luke were taken aback, neither of whom had expected that Chaim would arrive before them.

They had thought they would arrive in advance.

Unexpectedly, Chaim arrived earlier than them, at which Sydney felt somewhat embarrassed.

After all, Sydney was the one asking Chaim for help. But Chaim reached the restaurant prior to her.

What would Chaim think about?

Would Chaim feel that Sydney was impolite and disrespected him? Anyway, Sydney was the help-seeker, but she got to the restaurant later than the help-giver.

Thinking about it, Sydney had a headache. After rubbing her temples, she quickly stepped forward to Chaim and bowed to apologize. "Mr. Houston, I'm sorry that we are late. We got stuck in a traffic jam. I'm really sorry to keep you waiting. I didn't expect you to come early."

Luke walked up to her and apologized, too. "Mr. Houston, I'm really sorry that we're late."

If Chaim refused to lend money to them because they were late, they would become deeply regretted.

Looking at Sydney and Luke who were slightly nervous, Chaim put down the red wine in his hand and smiled amiably. "Well, I've just arrived here. The restaurant is close to the bank headquarters where I work. After I finished my work, I came here to have a drink and waited for you. You are not late. There are still a dozen minutes before our scheduled time. There is no need for you to apologize to me." Hearing Chaim's words, Sydney and Luke looked at each other, both of whom heaved a sigh of relief.

Although they also knew that they were not late, Chaim arrived earlier than them. Moreover, Sydney and Luke had to turn to him.

If Chaim didn't care about the scheduled time and thought they were late just because he arrived earlier, Sydney and Luke couldn't even argue with him.

Anyway, Sydney and Luke were the help-seekers.

Fortunately, Chaim was not an unreasonable person as they thought. He seemed to be friendly and easy-going, and it should be easy to get along with him.

Sydney breathed a sigh of relief. She straightened up, pulled out a chair opposite Chaim and sat down.

Luke stood next to her to pour wine for Chaim, Sydney and himself, as if he had been Sydney's assistant.

Well, he came there this time to serve as her temporary assistant.

"Mr. Houston, we've already discussed the loan on the phone. This is the architectural drawing of my family villa as well as the property rights files of the villa and the land. Please have a look." While speaking with a smile, Sydney opened her briefcase, took out a stack of documents, and passed them to Chaim with both hands.

After Chaim took them, he began reading them.

When Sydney and Luke saw him read them carefully, they kept quiet so as not to disturb him.

For a while, there was only the sound of paper flipping when Chaim read the documents in the room. No other sound could be heard.

There were a lot of documents, and it took Chaim much time to examine them.

Half an hour later, Chaim closed the folder, put his hand on it, and looked up at Sydney with a smile. "Ms. Raines, I've read the documents. There is no problem."

Sydney clasped her hands together and smiled, too. "Mr. Houston, since there is no problem, I can apply for the mortgage, right? And the mortgage funds I need to pay..." Chaim raised his hand and interrupted her suddenly. "Let's not talk about funds now. Before that, I'd like to confirm some things with you."

"Confirm some things with me?" Sydney's smile froze on her lips, as she got nervous.

How could she not feel nervous?

She thought she could get the mortgage when Chaim said there was no problem.

However, when she was about to succeed, Chaim suddenly asked to confirm some things with her, instead of talking about the mortgage.

Hearing it, she became anxious immediately, as she began worrying about whether she would be refused this time.

Luke didn't expect such a sudden change either. He couldn't help but frown and want to question Chaim what he meant and whether he was tricking them.

As Luke was going to stand up angrily, Sydney changed her expression and hurriedly pulled Luke's sleeve under the table.

Luke turned to look at her.

Sydney shook her head, signaling him not to act impulsively and make things worse.
