Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 808 Julien's Persuasion

Sydney was also worried and low-spirited as if she had gone through something.

"What's wrong?" Julien sat down beside Sydney and held her shoulders, shaking them gently. "Did something happen?"

Shaken by her man, Sydney finally came back to her senses from her trance.

As her eyes lit up, her somber pupils finally regained their shine.

Looking at her man, she slowly smiled and asked, "You're back?"

Julien said yes and asked, "I'm back. It's so late, but you won't sleep. Why are you sitting here? Why not turn on the light? Something happened, right?"

Her man asked a few questions in a row, but Sydney shook her head and sighed, "Nothing happened."

Obviously not believing her, Julien pursed his thin lips slightly. "Would you be like this if nothing had happened?"

Sydney was silent.

She knew she could not hide it from her man.

"Tell me, what happened? Don't hide it from me. You know, I'll be worried," Julien stroked her hair and asked with concern.

Sydney felt warmth in her heart. Her straightened back, which could not straighten up anymore, bent as if its strength had been taken away. She leaned the side of her head against Julien's shoulder and asked, "I came across Brandon and his wife more than an hour ago."

Julien, who was stroking her hair, paused and asked, "Brandon and his wife?"

"Yes."

"Where did you meet them?"

"On my way back from Dad's tomb, I went to a nearby pastry store, hoping to buy something to eat. While I was waiting for the packaging, the couple appeared," Sydney said.

"Did they bully you?" Julien frowned.

"No." Sydney shook her head. "We had a quarrel as usual, but..."

"But what?" Julien immediately became nervous.

Sydney raised her hand and explained, "Seeing the scar on my hand, Mrs. Madden suddenly went insane. She took my hand and asked me where I got the scar and if there was anything on my wrist before the scar appeared. Don't you think..."

Before she finished that, Julien's expression changed slightly.

He suddenly tightened the grip around her waist. As his Adam's apple moved, he asked worriedly, "You told her?"

"Uh?" Sydney raised her head and glanced at him. "What?"

"I mean you told her how you got this scar, right? You also told her there was something on your wrist before the scar appeared, right?" Julien lowered his eyes and said in an obviously unusual tone. Sydney shook her head and answered, "No, I don't know why Mrs. Madden asked me about these things, nor could I know if there were any traps, so I didn't tell her. I gave her a perfunctory explanation." Julien stared at her for a long while. Seeing that she was not lying, he then breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, regaining some of his calmness.

"That's good," Julien held Sydney's waist tightly and said.

Sydney narrowed her eyes and asked, "I do feel you're quite nervous. You're afraid I've told all this to Mrs. Madden, right?"

She looked at him.

Julien's eyes flickered, but soon returned to normal. With a perfectly calm face, he said, "No. You've just said that you didn't tell her these things because you were afraid she had some schemes. So am I. I don't want you to reveal everything foolishly. If she had held some schemes, but I was not around you, I couldn't be able to help you."

As he spoke, he poked her forehead.

This gesture dispelled her suspicion. Touching her forehead, she replied, "I'm not foolish! I'm smart! The Maddens are my deadly enemies. Of course, I won't tell them what they ask! So, if you say I'm foolish again, I'll be angry!"

Sydney pretended to be angry, glaring at him.

Julien chuckled and lowered his head, pecking her slightly pouted lips before he answered, "Fine, you're not foolish. You're smart."

"Of course!" Sydney raised her chin a little proudly.

But she soon restrained her expression, which had become somewhat complicated.

Her good mood had almost come back, but now she returned to the initial low-spirited state. Seeing that, Julien, who had unknitted his brows with much difficulty, knitted them again.

He gently held her chin and raised it, letting her look at him. "What does this complexion mean?"

Sydney swept his hand away from her chin. "Nothing, actually. I just replace that I have a special feeling for Brandon and his wife."

His expression changed slightly, but he said calmly, "What kind of special feeling?"

Sydney massaged the spot between her brows. "I feel I especially care about them. Previously, I hated them so much. Whenever I saw them in bad luck, I was happy. Yet, after I came across Mrs. Madden last time in the hospital, I realize that a subtle change has happened between me and the couple. To my surprise, my mood and emotions change as theirs change. Do you think I am crazy, Julien?"

Julien lowered his head a bit and rubbed his chin against her head. "You're not crazy. You are just so susceptible to others' emotions."

"Susceptible to others' emotions?" Sydney frowned.

His eyes flickering, Julien answered, "Yes, your heart has always been soft, and Brandon is sick, so the Maddens look a little pathetic in your eyes. That's why you were affected by them when you saw them. You're so kind-hearted, so you won't throw stones at them or gloat."

Sydney thought his analysis seemed to be reasonable.

But she, who was still worried, tried to confirm it. "Really?"

She looked up at him.

Seeing her crystal clear eyes, Julien was guilty for a moment. He turned his head slightly aside and looked away, not staring into her eyes. "Yes," he coughed and said a little hoarsely.

But it was in fact a lie.

She had a special feeling for the Maddens and was susceptible to their emotions, simply because their blood relationship played the trick. She and the couple didn't know they were family, and they hated each other, but the blood relationship was the most magical stuff in this world.

It connected the couple and her closely, affecting the atmosphere between them so that both sides somehow had special feelings for each other.

This was the affection of blood relationships, which no one could control or let go of.

But he could not tell her. Instead, he could only lie to her that that was caused by her soft heart.

He had no choice, and he did it for her good.

Sydney had never been so deeply affected by the blood relationship until now.

It seemed that he had to do something. Otherwise, if this continued, things would go so wrong.

While thinking, Julien held Sydney's face in his hands and said seriously, "Stay away from Brandon Madden and his wife in the future. You have such a soft heart. I'm afraid you won't be able to take revenge under their influence."

Sydney said with a laugh, "It's impossible!"

"Just in case," Julien said seriously, not smiling at her.

Seeing that, Sydney could not be light-hearted anymore. She nodded seriously and said, "All right, I got it. You're right. It's true I was so unusual during the two meetings. I felt like they led me by the nose. I was not myself. Sure, I should stay away from them."
