Chapter 180 To Be Absolutely Clear


    Very quickly, the joy in Julien''s heart was crushed by Hunter''s following words.


    Hunter crossed his arms. "I''m nning to pursue Sydney. What do you think, Julien?"


    Julien’s face darkened.


    What did he think?


    He did not feel great at all.


    However, Julien would never say it out loud. He lowered his gaze and said, "Go ahead if you want


    to. Why are you asking me?"


    Hunter saw right through Julien. He saw how Julien wanted to stop him but was suppressing


    himself.


    Something shed across Hunter''s eyes. "Of course, I need to let you know first."


    "Let me know?" Julien pursed his lips.


    Hunter nodded. "Yes. No matter what, Sydney is your ex-wife. I''ll have to let you know. If we get


    together someday, at least you won''t be too surprised."


    Julien snorted. "Why are you so sure that you both will be together?"


    "Hard work will always pay off. I''m sure that if I put in enough effort, I''ll move Sydney''s heart and


    she’ll say yes. If that happens, will you give us your blessing?"


    Hunter stared at Julien.


    Julien wanted to say that he would.


    However, when the words reached his words, nothing came through.


    Hunter was not surprised.


    He knew that Julien had Sydney in his heart. It would be weird if he could give them his bleeding.


    Hunter put his hands into his pocket. "Since I’ve already said what I wanted, and you have no


    objections, then I hope that you won''t try to stop me in the future.”


    "I won''t. This is between you and Sydney, and has nothing to do with me," Julien had a cold


    expression as he said in indifference.


    Hunter smiled. "That’s right. Julien, you better remember your words today. If you stop us in the


    future, I might stop taking you as a friend. I think I''ve spoken enough. Go back to your fiancee,


    Julien. I''ll have to visit a rtionship advisor to learn about how to pursue girls. Bye!"


    Hunter waved and got into his car.


    He told Julien these because he wanted to break the connection between Julien and Sydney before


    Julien realized that he had feelings for her.


    By doing so, even if Julien realized that he loved Sydneyter on, it would be toote. Julien would


    not stop Hunter and Sydney from getting together


    because of his words today.


    As Hunter thought about this, he smiled at Julien meaningfully and drove away.


    Julien remained where he was as he stared toward the direction where Hunter drove off. His eyes


    were cold and his fists were clenched tight. His aura was frighteningly chilly.


    Hunter fell in love with Sydney and even announced that he wanted to pursue her. Just two months


    ago, Hunter had no feelings for Sydney at all and did not even interact with her that much.


    It was him!


    Julien''s pupils constricted.


    He was the one who introduced Hunter to Sydney, and that was how they got to know each other. It


    was also how Hunter gradually began to fall for Sydney.


    Julien felt a sudden disdain spreading over his chest, and it was extremely ufortable.


    Lyra came to him and asked, "Julien, what are you looking at?"


    Julien lowered his gaze. "Nothing."


    "Mr. Cohen left?" Lyra asked again.


    Julien nodded and said nothing else.


    Lyra shook his arm. "Julien, what did Mr. Cohen say to you? You look upset.”


    "I look upset?” Julien stared back at her.


    Lyra nodded. "Yes. You look upset. As though someone just took something from you.”


    Julien was stunned.


    He was talking to Hunter about Sydney, and to be specific, Hunter fell in love with Sydney. Was he


    upset because of this?


    Did he think that Hunter took Sydney away?


    "Julien, what''s wrong?” Lyra saw his ambiguous expression and waved her hand at him.


    Julien returned to his senses and lowered his eyes. He wanted to cover the emotions behind it.


    "Nothing.


    Lyra, you can go back first."


    "Are you not sending me back?” Lyra widened her eyes.


    Something glimmered in Julien’s eyes. "Something came up. Sorry."


    After saying that, he got into the car and left, leaving Lyra alone as she watched him drive off. She


    was so mad that she stomped her foot.


    Julien drove all the way to Shallow Bay.


    He wanted to look for Sydney. He needed to be clear about why his emotions get affected by her.


    He also wanted to know why he would be angry when she got so close to Hunter.


    Even if there was a voice in his head that was stopping him, he could not be bothered at the


    moment.


    He had to be clear. Otherwise, she would just keep affecting him.


    Half an hourter, Julien arrived at Shallow Bay.


    Julien hesitated at the car park but went up in the end.


    Very quickly, he reached her floor.


    Just as Julien walked out of the elevator, he saw that Sydney''s door was wide open. He could also


    hear someone speaking. "Darling, can we leave now?”


    It was Luke!


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    Luke was at her house!


    Julien’s face darkened and he unconsciously halted his footsteps. His impulse to get to the bottom


    of things was reduced by a fair bit.


    "I''m ready. Let’s go,” Sydney said.


    She then walked out of her apartment.


    Sydney felt someone looking at her and raised her head. Unexpectedly, she saw Julien and


    frowned.


    "Darling, why did you stop?" Luke closed the door and came out. When he saw Sydney stop by the


    door, he asked in curiosity.


    Sydney answered him, "Julien is here." "Where?" When Luke heard his name, his expression


    changed instantly.


    He stepped forward and saw Julien. He then asked in a rather rude manner, "What are you doing


    here?"


    Julien ignored him and looked at Sydney with a deep gaze, as though he was trying to see through


    her.


    Sydney was extremely ufortable under his intense gaze. She pursed her lips and asked,"


    President Flint, what''s the matter?"


    Julien blinked.


    He came to her to get to the bottom of things. He wanted to know why his emotions were affected


    by her, and why he would be ufortable when he saw her with another man.


    However, when Luke was around, Julian found himself at loss for words.


    Julien closed his eyes momentarily. When he opened them again, they were much clearer. "I came


    to apologize."


    "Huh?" Sydney frowned. "Apologize?"


    "What for? Did you do something to my darling again?" Luke scolded Julien.


    Julien continued to ignore him. He only looked at Sydney and said, "I''m sorry that Lyra made the


    assumption about you and Hunter in the coffee shop."


    "You don''t need to apologize. Your apologies are so cheap. Theye so often that they aren''t


    worth anything. This won’t be thest time you apologize, and to be frank, I''m tired of hearing it. You


    can take back your apologies." Sydney tugged on Luke''s arm." Luke, let’s go."


    "Sure!" Luke smiled happily and walked toward the elevator with her.


    When she walked past Julien, she said to him, "One more thing. President Flint, please stoping


    over. You''ll bring a lot of inconvenience to me, do you understand?"


    After saying that, she walked forward without looking back.


    Julien heard Luke asking her, "Darling, he said Lyra made the wrong assumption about you and


    Hunter. What does that mean? Why didn''t you call me when you went for coffee with Hunter?"


    "I didn''t go there to drink coffee with him. I looked for him because I have a favor to ask," Sydney


    answered.


    However, her voice disappeared when the door of the elevator closed. The corridor was silent once


    again.


    Julien remained where he was. When he saw Sydney left with Luke, he suddenly felt an emptiness


    in his heart.
