Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 459

"If that were the case, we would have been late. Burton would probably have fled the country by now." Zach said in a heavy tone, his brows furrowed.

Julien nodded, "Once Burton goes abroad, it's almost impossible to find him."

It was such a vast world. Who knew which country Burton went to?

Although Julien had some power abroad, it was very limited compared to his power at home. If Burton made up his mind to hide himself, Julien could do nothing.

"Yeah." Zach sighed.

Julien rubbed his fingers. "Arrange people to keep an eye on Cayden at all times. If Cayden sends someone out of Jackal city, he might have found Burton." "Yes, Mr. Flint," Zach nodded.

Julien looked at his watch, "All right. You can leave now. Come back in the morning."

"Okay." Zach then turned to leave.

Shortly after Zach left, Julien got out of his bed. He took Sydney's bag and walked toward the companion room adjoining his ward.

Arriving at the door, Julien quietly opened it.

The lights in the room were off. He didn't turn the light on. He took out his cell phone and quietly walked in by the light of the phone screen.

Julien stopped at Sydney's bedside, put her bag on the bedside table, and looked down at Sydney who was sleeping on the bed. His eyes were filled with deep affection, but at the same time, there was a slight hint of melancholy and pity in them.

After quite a while, Julien’s legs went numb, for he had been standing for so long. He then lifted a corner of the sheet, got into bed, and lay down next to Sydney. Then he stretched out his arm, took her gently into his arms, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

The next morning, when it was just light, Julien woke up.

He inclined his head to look at the woman sleeping in his arms. His eyes were tender. He raised his hand and touched her hair. Then he gently removed her hand from his waist, got out of bed, and left the room quietly.

During the whole time, he didn't make a sound. He was as quiet as if he had never entered the room.

Sydney was awakened by a phone call two hours later.

She frowned, reached a hand out from under the sheet, and groped around the bed.

However, instead of getting her phone, she nudged her handbag off the bed.

Her handbag fell to the floor and made a crunching sound.

Sydney was startled by the sound. She instantly sobered up.

She opened her eyes and sat up. Looking around the strange room, she was confused.

'Where am I?'

But she couldn't figure it out at the moment because her phone kept ringing in her handbag, demanding her to pick it up.

Sydney rushed to get up, barefoot, bent down to pick her handbag up, and fished out her phone.

It was Luke, and Sydney answered it in a hurry, "Hello, Luke."

"Darling, where are you? You're not home?" Luke sounded anxious.

Sydney rubbed her hair and answered, "I'm sorry, Luke. I'm not home."

"You're not home!" Luke was standing in front of Sydney's apartment door. He frowned and asked, "Where have you been so early in the morning? Did you forget we were going to the countryside today?"

"No, I didn't forget, but I don't know where I am at the moment." "What? You don't know where you are?" The corner of Luke's mouth curled.

Sydney turned her head and looked around the room.

The room was small, much smaller than her room. But it was equipped with all the furniture and appliances, and they were all first-class. It didn't look like an ordinary room.

But why was Sydney here?

Sydney frowned. She couldn’t remember how she came to be in this room.

But, vaguely, she seemed to have heard Julien talking about how to do business last night. She was listening to him. Then...

Sydney shook her head helplessly, "Come on, Luke, I know you don’t like him. But you don't have to think of him as a bad person. He saved my life and saved Cayden. I hope you’ll be fair to him."

"I know that. I'm being nice to him now. If it were before, I'd be teaching him a lesson right now." Luke grunted. Then he got serious and asked, "Darling, when are you coming back?"

Sydney looked at her watch and found it was 8 a m. "I'll be right back." "Okay, I'll wait for you then." "All right." Hanging up the phone, Sydney put it down and walked out of the companion room.

Julien heard footsteps and opened his eyes. He propped himself up on the bed with one hand and sat up, "Was that Luke?”

Sydney was walking gingerly. Suddenly, Julien's voice rang out, and Sydney was startled. She stopped involuntarily and tapped her chest with a short breath." You're awake?"

"I woke up a long time ago. I heard you talking on the phone, so I didn't disturb you. " Julien smiled at her.

Sydney put her hand down, "Oh, that's it."

"I'm sorry. I scared you." Julien apologized.

Sydney shook her head gently, "It's okay."

"I heard what you guys were talking on the phone." Julien looked at her.

Sydney also looked at him, "And what about it?" She was calm.

She didn't say anything bad about Julien to Luke, so she wasn't nervous.

Julien curled his lips slightly, "I heard you tell Luke to be fair to me, and I am happy."

'Does this mean Sydney has left the past in the past?’

'Does she start to understand that the real me is better than the hypnotized me?'

Looking at the faint happiness in Julien's eyes, Sydney somehow felt she was a little cheered up too.

But she didn't show anything on her face. She just curled her lips and said, "What's so happy about that? I'm just being reasonable."
