Chapter 568 Natalie''s Appreciation


    Sydney grunted and rolled her eyes at Julien as she considered this, and then she tookrge


    strides toward the vi''s gate.


    Meanwhile, Julien was confused and remained in his original position, watching her walk away.


    Julien thought, "How does she get angry again? What exactly have I done?"


    After pondering for a while, he was sure he hadn''t done anything wrong and caught up with Sydney.


    "Wait a minute, Sydney!"


    He was forced to pick up his pace and follow Sydney through the foyer because she pretended she


    hadn''t heard anything and kept walking forward.


    As soon as the gate closed, he grabbed her wrist as he gently pushed her against the wall, looked


    down at her, and asked, "Tell me what''s going on? What makes you so angry at me?"


    She was speechless for a moment. She thought, "Did he just ask me why I''m enraged?"


    She pressed her hands against Julien''s chest, attempting to push him away." Nothing. Now get out


    of my way. I''m going back to my room."


    Julien, however, refused to move. "If you don''t answer my question, I''ll never be able to rx."


    After taking a deep breath, Sydney looked up at him, "Do you really want to know?” "Of course!


    Otherwise, I wouldn''t have asked you about it.”


    "Julien, did you move here because of me? " she asked, her lips pursed.


    He was speechless the moment he heard her question, but he was also surprised that she had


    figured out his n at the same time.


    He thought, "With what I just said, it appears that I have given myself away. "


    Seeing Julien keep silent, Sydney sighed and added, "As I had expected, you... have no sense of


    shame at all!"


    He immediately grasped what she was implying. "Are you mad at me because I moved in while you


    were still here? "


    She didn''t deny or admit anything about it. "You make me feel I''m being followed.”


    Julien said, "I''m sorry if I scared you, but please hear me out. I want to be with you


    forever!"


    Sydney''s face burned as she lowered her head. "Well, I don''t want to. You''re so annoying. Get the


    hell away from me! "

    She then pushed Julien away and took off her high heels, recing them with flipflops as she


    walked into the living room.


    Then, Julien chuckled and changed into a pair of flip-flops before entering the house.


    Sydney was sitting on the sofa to rest.


    She was exhausted from a long day of work. She had taken a flight earlier that morning and had


    spent a few hours on the ne. She didn''t get much sleep after she arrived because she had to go


    buy the medicine she needed in the afternoon and then attend the engagement ceremony in the


    evening.


    She felt especially sore on her shoulders.


    Seeing her rub the shoulders, Julien thought for a short while. As a result, he went to the kitchen


    and made a cup of tea for her before handing it over. "I''m sure you drank a lot earlier tonight. Drink


    this, and you should be able to get some sleep.


    Otherwise, you''ll have a headache soon. "


    Sydney was stunned when she looked at the cup of tea he had brought. Then she felt her heart


    warm and reached out to take it." Thank you."


    He took a seat next to her. "Are you no longer mad at me?"


    She froze for a brief moment after hearing that and then grunted. "Well, given that you''ve brought


    this cup of tea over, let''s just call it even." "Alright." Julien smiled as he lowered his head, while


    Sydney continued to drink her tea.


    As he sat next to her, staring at her with his burning and attentive gaze, she became ufortable,


    so she put the cup down and stood up. "It''s starting to gette. I suppose I''d better go upstairs and


    get some sleep."


    "All right. Get some rest. " Julien smiled and nodded.


    Sydney snatched her purse from the sofa." It''s the same for you."


    "I’ll attend a brief conference meeting in a short while."


    "Okay. I guess I''ll go upstairs."


    "Good night," said Julien as he looked at her.


    Sydney twitched the corner of her mouth." Good night."


    After that, she turned around and went upstairs.


    When she returned to her room, Sydney first sat by the bed and waited for a short while before


    taking her pajamas and going to the bathroom to wash up.


    Soaking in the bathtub, as the water temperature gradually warmed her body, she could feel the


    effects of the alcohol kicking in, causing her head to be dizzy. And her face became flushed


    with blood.


    She knew she was on the verge of losing consciousness and that if she stayed in the bathtub any


    longer, she would drown.


    It would be too humiliating to die like that.


    Sydney rubbed her temples and stood up by holding the edge of the bathtub. She then grabbed a


    towel and wiped herself dry before putting on her robe and hurrying out of the bathroom to get


    ready for bed.


    Nheless, before she could get to bed, her knees weakened, and she copsed to the ground.


    Thanks to the floor mat and the alcohol, she didn''t feel any pain as a result of the fall.


    She only looked up at the ceiling chandelier, blinking every now and then until she finally could not


    hold it any longer and drifted off in the bright light.


    Julien had just finished his conference meeting and was about to head upstairs for the night when


    the doorbell rang.


    He frowned, put down theptop in his hand, and walked towards the foyer.


    When he opened the door, he saw a tall, slender woman.


    When the woman saw Julien, she smiled politely at him and said, "Mr. Flint."


    "It''s you, "He looked at the woman and asked, "Why are you here? "


    Natalie then looked behind Julien, as if looking for something.


    When she didn''t seem to find what she was looking for, she averted her gaze and replied, "I''m here


    because I''d like to speak with Sydney. Is she asleep? "


    "She is," Julien looked at her with displeasure, "Can''t you talk to her tomorrow?"


    Julien thought, "Why did shee all the way here to interrupt Sydney''s sleep? "


    Meanwhile, Natalie was aware that it wasn''t the appropriate time to visit Sydney, but she simply


    wanted to share something with her that she thought was important.


    "Please ept my apologies, Mr. Flint. I''m sorry for not thinking of this sooner, but what I want to


    tell her is a very important thing, and it urred to me an hour ago when I knew that Manuel''s lover


    was Sydney''s sister, so I rushed here immediately. "She smiled in embarrassment.


    "Does this have anything to do with Madeline? " He squinted his eyes. "Can you tell me the story?


    You can let me know, and I''ll tell Sydney about it."


    "Well..." She appeared to hesitate.


    A few secondster, she shook her head as she said, "I''m sorry, Mr. Flint. Since it''s such an


    important matter, I think it''s probably better for me to tell her personally."


    Julien sensed Natalie did not trust him, but it did not matter to him.


    Then he said, "Alright. Since you want to tell her yourself, you coulde back tomorrow. You don''t


    seem to be so agitated, so can’t you wait until tomorrow? "


    "You''re right. Mr. Flint, I''ll leave now. I''m sorry for bothering you."


    She nodded and walked away.


    However, something seemed to cross her mind as soon as she took her first step forward. "Hang


    on, Mr. Flint," she said as she immediately turned around.


    He paused and pursed his lips in an annoyed manner as he was about to close the door. "Is there


    anything else? "


    Natalie bowed to Julien. "My father informed me that you talked to Manuel''s father and informed


    him of the affair.


    Manuel''s father lectured him and forced him to cut ties with that woman because of what you had


    told his father. Furthermore, he haspensated the Skr family for the harm he has caused my


    family. Mr. Flint, thank you so much!"


    Julien looked at her, deadpan. "If you want to thank someone, you should thank Sydney. It was only


    for her sake that I did it. She loves you as a friend and doesn''t want you to have a messed-up life,


    which is why I did what I did. However, that is only one of the reasons. My true intention was to


    force Manuel to abandon Madeline, his lover. After all, Madeline is Sydney''s sister."


    Even though Sydney and Madeline never had a close rtionship, she didn''t want her half-sister to


    be someone''s lover because it would bring disgrace to Henry. That was why Julien wanted Manuel


    and Madeline to break up, so Madeline wouldn''t be a homewrecker.
