Sydney's frown deepened.
What did he sound like a husband questioning his wife?
Did he not get his identity right?
"Where did I go with Hunter has nothing to do with you. Why are you overstepping your boundaries?" Sydney pursed her lips and turned around.
Julien pulled her arm to stop her. "I'm just worried. It's so late and..."
"I don’t need your worry!" Sydney withdrew her arm and stared at Julien with a cold gaze. "You never worried about me back then, so you don't have to now either.
President Flint, it's late. Please go back."
After saying that, she turned around and walked toward the elevator.
Julien did not stop her, and he just silently stared at her silhouette as she disappeared into the building.
Back in her apartment, Sydney took off her shoes and put her bag aside before stepping into the bathroom.
After taking a quick shower, she headed straight to bed.
She was already in bed around 10 PM, but Hunter called her out and now she was so sleepy that she could not even open her eyes.
Sydney yawned and walked toward the window to draw her curtains.
Suddenly, she looked downstairs and saw that Julien's car was still parked by the side.
Julien was still here.
Could he be planning something?
Sydney sneered and drew her curtains before returning to bed.
Downstairs, Julien kept looking at a certain someone’s window.
When he saw the lights go off, he knew that she had already gone to bed.
Suddenly, Julien's phone rang.
He glanced at it and saw that it was Zach who called.
"What is it?" Julien put it on speaker and placed the phone on the passenger seat. He then took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the glove compartment.
Zach said, "It's nothing serious. The hospital informed me that Lyra Madden
has woken up.'
Julien nodded and did not seem to have a reaction. He took out a cigarette and lit it up.
Zach did not comment on his attitude. He continued, "There's something else. Clarice Madden is found."
"What?" Julien paused and narrowed his eyes. "Clarice Madden?"
"Yes.” Zach nodded.
Julien frowned “Is it really Clarice Madden?"
"Most likely. Clarice found Brandon
Madden and his wife with her daughter necklace. They did a paternity test and the results are still pending. However, Clarice is still with them, so it's most likely real," Zach explained.
Julien went deep in thought.
Daughter necklace...
Was the daughter necklace not with Sydney? How did it end up in someone else's hand?
Could it be a fake one?
No. Brandon Madden and his wife could definitely recognize a fake necklace. After all, it was a necklace that they gave to their daughter, and no one would be more familiar with it than the both of them.
Moreover, this necklace was specially made, and it was the one and only in the world. There were no photos of it on the Internet. Even if there was, it was only Mrs. Madden's mother necklace.
Even though the daughter necklace looked very similar to the mother’s one, there were still some differences between them, and it would be hard to forge one.
The only explanation for this was that Clarice Madden was related to Sydney.
Maybe Sydney gave the necklace to Clarice and told her to look for Brandon.
Why did Sydney do that?
Julien raised his head once more and looked at the darkroom upstairs, his eyebrows in a tight furrow.
When Sydney imagined him queuing up with his suit, standing among old ladies while they fought for breakfast, Sydney laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Julien looked at her with bewilderment.
Sydney waved her hand. "Nothing. You can have breakfast yourself. I'm not hungry."
Right after she said that, her stomach grumbled in protest.
Julien looked toward her abdomen and his eyes became incredibly gentle. He quickly withdrew his gaze to avoid her from noticing.
"You’re hungry,” Julien said.
Sydney's face turned red, and her eyes were filled with embarrassment. "No, I'm not."
"Your stomach is making noise," Julien replied.
Sydney clenched her fist and said, "You heard it wrongly.
She then walked past him toward the elevator.
Julien looked at her stubbornness and felt deeply amused. He quickly caught up to her and walked next to her. "Alright, I heard it wrongly. Just have some. I never bought anyone a breakfast like this before.'
The elevator reached.
Sydney went in, and there was an old couple inside. They had sports outfits on, and they must be heading to the park to exercise.
Sydney smiled at them and withdrew her smile when she looked at Julien. “You don’t have to tell me that. I don’t care. I won’t accept the breakfast that you buy."
When Julien heard that, his heart sank and he lowered his gaze. His surrounding aura became rather depressing.
The old couple at the side could not stay still any longer. One of them asked, "Girl, did you fight with your boyfriend?"
When Julien heard the word "boyfriend", his eyes glimmered. He gave the old couple an apologetic nod, indicating that he was sorry to bother them.
His actions were admitting that he was Sydney's boyfriend.
Sydney was stunned.
How could this man be so shameless?
When Sydney wanted to explain that he was not her boyfriend, the old lady laughed and said, "Girl, I heard your conversation. You can't do that to him."
