Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 746 Liquid Courage

Sydney's movements had been bold and exaggerated. However, Julian burst out laughing when he saw her painful expression. "Slow down. Don't choke."

"I'm not going to choke!" Sydney placed the wine glass down before pushing it closer to him. "Pour me another glass of wine."

"Doesn't your heart ache over the price of the drink now?" Julien raised an eyebrow.

She glared at him and urged, "Of course! My heart still aches, but I'd rather finish it than let it turn bad. Hurry up! Pour me another glass."

Julien chuckled. "Okay. I'll pour you another glass."

Then, he held the wine bottle up to refill her glass.

Sydney let out a sigh as she held the wine glass up and glanced at the sparkling red liquid inside. "It's all your fault. Why did you decide to prepare a meal out of nowhere?"

"What? "Julien was confused. "Did you say it's my fault?"

He wondered, 'How can it be my fault?'

"It's obviously your fault!" Sydney stomped her foot on the ground. "I wouldn't have thought of celebrating it if you hadn't cooked for me. I wouldn't have recalled that I had a bottle of red wine if I hadn't thought of celebrating it. You wouldn't have gotten the chance to open this bottle if I hadn't thought of it. So, whose fault do you think it is?"

Julien was shocked and speechless upon hearing her explanation.

Julien thought, 'She is so two-faced! I can't believe she's putting all of the blame on me. She's expecting me to deal with all the consequences on my own! Sure, I made the meal. And I suggested the idea, but wasn't the one who suggested having a celebration. And I even tried to stop her when she brought it up. She's the one who insisted on bringing a bottle of wine here. Yet, it sounds like everything's my fault now.'

Julien pressed his palm against his forehead while feeling sorry for himself.

Sydney seemed even more displeased when she saw Julien pressing his lips together with a contemplative look on his face. She smacked her palm against the table. "What is it? Are you unhappy now? Don't you think it's your fault?"

The corners of Julien's mouth twitched. He thought, 'So, she's forcing me to admit it's my fault, huh?'

"Fine, fine. It's my fault. It's all my fault!" Julien had no choice but to shoulder the burden of being wrong. He patted Julien's shoulder to calm her down.

He thought, 'Forget it. Since she's my woman, I'm okay with taking all of the blame. I'll just have to coax her later. A man like me shouldn't get too petty about such matters, anyway.'

Thinking of that, Julien took a sip of red wine. "You're lucky you're with me. I don't think anyone else would pamper you like this."

He swirled the wine in his glass and looked at the red liquid before letting out a soft laugh.

This was the first time he was being blamed for something he hadn't done.

And he willingly accepted the blame. He was certain that no one would believe it if they found out about this.

Sydney knew what Julien meant by his words, and she knew how unreasonable she was being.

She thought, 'But why does that matter? He's my man, right? What's wrong with taking the blame for me sometimes?'

Thinking of this, Sydney grunted at Julien. "At least you know what's the right thing to do."

Julien couldn't resist pinching her face. "Why didn't I know that you had this side to you in the past?"

She flicked his hand away. "There are so many things you haven't discovered about me. You don't even know how many sides of me there are."

"Oh?" He smirked. "Guess I'll have to continue digging deep into you, then."

"You can go ahead and do that. I'd like to see how much you can replace about me." Sydney raised her glass and finished her wine once more.

Then she placed it in front of Julien to indicate that she wanted another glass.

He frowned without making a move. He said, "You should stop drinking."

"No. I can't waste this." Sydney shook her head as she insisted on having another glass.

Julien placed his large palm over her glass as he spoke. "You'll get drunk. This red wine's alcohol percentage is a little higher than the usual red wine. On top of that, you can't drink very much. And you'll get drunk after a few glasses. Just listen to me, and stop drinking! We can drink another day.

"

"No." Sydney felt displeased when Julien stopped her from drinking, so she raised her sharp eyebrow before speaking in a coquettish tone. "I insist on drinking this! The wine tastes good. I'm not done drinking!"

"I don't care." Julien continued to reject her while he began keeping the wine bottle away.

Seeing this, Sydney immediately pressed her palms against the table to stand up. "Don't you dare, Julien! Don't put it away, okay? Otherwise... I'll..." "Otherwise, what?" Julien stopped and turned to look at her. There was a gleam in his eyes that made his gaze seem to be rather hard to read.

Sydney blinked. She was in a daze. Then she said, "Otherwise... I'll cry in front of you!"

She said as she stuck her lower lip out and forced herself to wail.

However, regardless of how much she tried to cry, she simply couldn't squeeze the tears out of her eyes.

Julien was stunned by her actions.

He had already been shocked when she smacked her palm against the table before that.

After all, Julien knew that Sydney wasn't someone who would smack her palm against the table just because she was upset that she didn't get to drink.

However, that was exactly what she had just done.

That was the reason Julien suspected that she was starting to get drunk.

Perhaps she was throwing tantrums because she was drunk.

Now that Julien saw her attempting to cry, he realized that she was drunk for sure.

But Sydney wasn't entirely wasted. She simply seemed rather tipsy. The slight tipsiness had turned her gentle and smart character into a more aggressive person who seemed livelier than usual. When Julien saw the confusion in Sydney's eyes and the redness in her cheeks, he felt the urge to tease her more. "Didn't you say that you wanted to cry in front of me? Why aren't you crying yet?"

"I can't do it..." She pouted while looking sorry for herself.

His chest vibrated as he chuckled. He was so amused by her words.

"I'll put away the wine since you can't cry." He began to act as if he was about to leave.

She immediately hugged his waist. "No! I told you I wanted more of it. You can't take it away." "But you're drunk."

"I'm not."

"You are!" Julien stared at Sydney in his arms as he repeated himself in a patient tone.

Sydney frowned and kept quiet for a while. It seemed as if she were making sense of his words and checking if she was actually drunk.

After a while, Sydney looked up at the man with her gaze more confused than before. "Isn't that perfect? You're in luck. You can do whatever you want now."

Julien squinted. And his face darkened once he heard her.

He stared at Sydney. His Adam's apple rolled a little. Then he said in a raspy voice, "Sydney, do you know what you were saying?"

Sydney giggled. "I know. I know you've always wanted my body. And it has been hard for you to control yourself all along. It was all because I couldn't let myself do it. You must have struggled to hold it in for so long. In the meeting room, I sensed some changes in your lower body. And I wanted to replace an opportunity to hand myself over to you completely, but I didn't know how to do it, so I thought that drinking some wine would help us a little. In that way, I'll be bolder then. I won't be hesitant about whether I should go further with you."

When Julien heard her words, Julien's eyes widened, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down quickly. His voice sounded hoarse. "So... The celebration was a lie, and you were just using it as an excuse to have some drinks? You wanted to get yourself drunk so that you could let me have you, huh?"

"Pretty much the same." Sydney rested her head against Julien's chest as she listened to his pounding heartbeat. She breathed heavily as she said, "But the celebration

wasn't a lie. I'm killing two birds with one stone!"
