My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit novel Chapter 267

Bam!

The office door was closed, and there was a sudden silence inside.

Sydney looked at her hands that were grabbed by Julien and said coldly," President Flint, Luke was taken outside. Can you let go of me now?"

Julien hummed and let her go.

With her hands free, she immediately took two steps back to distance herself from him. "What exactly do you want to say to me, President Flint?"

Julien looked at her, his eyes mixed with deep feelings. "I wasn't messing with you when I talked to you in Shallow Bay. I'm serious. The person I love is you, not Lyra!"

Sydney was silent for a few seconds before laughing mockingly. "President Flint, what exactly about me are you so hung up about? Not only are you lying to me, but you even roped Grandma into this as well?"

Seeing that she was unwilling to believe in his sincerity, he sighed. "Do you remember Buddy?"

He asked instead of answering.

Sydney's expression changed slightly at that name. "How do you know Buddy?"

She was the real Maple Leaf!

Julien's eyes softened, and he replied," Buddy is my nickname. Many years ago, my mother called me that!"

"You... You..." Hearing those words, Sydney went wide-eyed and pointed at him. She

clearly understood that he was Buddy, the one who had been pen pals with her for many years!

As if knowing what she wanted to say, Julien pressed her hand down gently. "I'm Buddy, Maple Leaf!”

Now that he called out her own pen name, she could no longer deny that he was not her pen pal.

However, she still found it hard to accept.

"How could it be you?" Sydney bit her lip, feeling ridiculous. "Why are you Buddy?”

That gentle big brother who would comfort her with letters when she was bullied by her stepmother or when she was unhappy was Julien!

"Why can't it be me?" Julien frowned slightly. "Do you regret that Buddy is me?" He could tell that her expression was disappointed when she confirmed that he was Buddy.

She did not want him to be Buddy!

Julien’s heart clenched slightly.

He came here full of excitement, wanting to tell her that they were pen pals.

He thought that she would be happy that he knew she was Maple Leaf. After all, they used to be so close.

Unexpectedly, she reacted like this!

Maybe she was not unhappy to see Buddy. Maybe she just did not want to accept that Buddy was him.

"You’re right. It's true that Buddy and I have no similarities now." Julien lowered his eyes.

Due to the fading hypnosis, he gradually remembered what his previous self was like.

However, he knew very well that even if the hypnosis was lifted, he could not change back to his old self after all the schemes and plots he experienced in the business world.

"Enough. What’s the point of saying all that? Even if you're Buddy, has that got anything to do with you loving me?" Sydney took a deep breath and pressed down the surging emotions in her heart.

Her voice was cold and indifferent.

"Of course, it has!" Julien's thin lips answered, "Many years ago, I fell in love with Maple Leaf. I couldn’t believe it myself. I actually fell in love with a girl I've never met before. That girl was you, Sydney!"

"Wait!" Sydney quickly raised her hand. " You're saying you fell in love with me when I was Maple Leaf a long time ago?"

"Yes!" Julien nodded.

Sydney laughed with a hint of a sneer. "Do you think I'll believe that? You got together with Lyra six years ago. That means..."

"No!" Julien knew what she was going to say and interrupted her immediately. He explained seriously, "I've never loved Lyra. The one I love has always been you. I got together with Lyra six years ago because I took her for you."

"What?" Sydney's expression was stunned as she opened her mouth. "You took her for me?"

Julien nodded. "Six years ago, I saw you say in a letter that you wanted to confess to someone. I couldn’t accept it, so I wrote back to you and asked to meet you. I wanted to tell you personally that I've always loved you and wanted to be with you, but in the end, the person who came wasn't you. It was Lyra!"
