Chapter 790 Jayden Had Be More Mature


    Then, he chuckled as he said, "Sydney, are you happy?"


    The corner of Sydney''s lips twitched. "Why would I be happy just because you called me? Are you


    some sort of ambassador of happiness?"


    "Although I''m not an ambassador of happiness, I''m your younger brother." Jayden raised his voice.


    Sydney put on an amused look on her face as she said, "My younger brother? I don''t have a


    younger brother. Don''t randomly associate yourself with me."


    "I didn''t randomly associate myself with you. You are my brother''s wife, and I''m his younger brother,


    so that makes me your brother as well." Jayden immediately exined.


    The anxiousness in his voice amused Sydney. "Alright. Alright. Let''s drop it. You said that you called


    me the moment you got your phone. Why didn''t you call your brother? Aren''t you afraid that he may


    be jealous?"


    Upon hearing that, Jayden pursed his lips. "Julien feeling jealous? Both of us are grown men, so


    there''s nothing to talk about between us. You know that I''m afraid of him. I don''t dare to call him. If I


    do, he will ask about my studies out of habit. He''s terrifying. I won''t call him, and I never will. He''s a


    monster."


    "A monster?" Sydney narrowed her eyes as she put on a yful smile and said, "Jayden, you''re so


    screwed."


    "What do you mean?!" Jayden''s heart skipped a beat. At that instant, he had a sense of foreboding.


    Sydney moved the phone further away from her ear before she turned her head in the direction of


    the kitchen and yelled, "Julien, your brother called. He said you were a monster!"


    "Damn it!" Upon hearing that, Jayden, who was on the other end of the line, was so shocked that he


    jumped to his feet from the bench, his face pale.


    Jayden thought, ''Oh, no! Julien is with Sydney now. And she actually told him the bad things that I


    said to her about him. Crap! I''m screwed!''


    As expected, when Jayden was on pins and needles, Julien''s voice rang down the line. "What? I''m


    a monster?"


    Although the voice was soft, it was indeed Julien''s.


    Julien really was with Sydney now!


    Cold sweat appeared on Jayden''s face at that realization.


    Meanwhile, Sydney seemed to feel that Jayden was scared on the other end of the line. And she


    looked at Julien, who was walking in her direction while holding her dinner. Moving the phone back


    to her ear, she grinned and teased, "Jayden, your brother''s here. Do you want to speak to him?"


    "No. I''m all good." Jayden shook his head vigorously to reject her offer. "Sydney, I suddenly


    remembered that I have training right before the final round. The time''s almost up, so I''ll hang up


    first. We shall talk another time. I wish the two of you live happily ever after and have an adorable


    child soon!"


    With that, Jayden was about to hang up the call quickly.


    However, right before he did that, he thought of something, and a hint of guilt shed across his


    eyes. Then he whispered in a small voice with a flushed face. "Also, Sydney, sorry for everything in


    the past. I sincerely apologize to you."


    As soon as he said that, he immediately hung up the call before patting himself on his chest to calm


    his racing heart. Only then did he exhale in relief.


    He had finally apologized to her.


    Although he wasn''t sure if Sydney would forgive him, he still had to show her his sincerity and


    apology.


    If that was not enough to show his sincerity, he would try to do something for her after he went back


    in order to obtain her forgiveness, just like what Julien had done.


    With such thoughts in mind, Jayden finally felt a little relieved from all the guilt that had been


    weighing him down.


    "Jayden, the training is about to begin. Coach asked me to call you over." Just then, one of his


    teammates appeared at the door of the lounge and knocked on the door.


    "Coming!" Jayden kept his phone away and shed a smile at his teammate before he tossed the


    towel around his neck away. With an arm ced over his teammate''s shoulder, Julien headed over


    to the training ground.


    Meanwhile, at Shallow Bay, Sydney never expected Jayden to fear Julien to that extent. The


    moment he heard that Julien would be speaking to him, he was so frightened that he immediately


    hung up the call. Sydney found his reaction rather amusing.


    However, what surprised Sydney the most was the apology he had said right before the call ended.


    She understood the reason for his sudden apology. He had apologized for how he had treated her


    in the past six years.


    She knew Jayden very well. Ever since he was young, he had a luxurious life and a prestigious


    family background. These made him a proud man. All his life, he had never apologized to anyone,


    even if he had been at fault. The other person, no matter whether it was someone he was


    acquainted with or not, would be the one to apologize to him, even though the one might be the


    victim. Yet, nobody had ever raised any questions about this.


    Therefore, the fact that Jayden would actually apologize to her astonished her. However, what came


    after the feeling of astonishment was the feeling of pleasure and contentment.


    He had actually be much more mature.


    "What did you say earlier? That I''m a monster?" On the other hand, Julien walked up to her with a


    te of food and ced it on the coffee table. Then, he straightened up and looked at her in


    displeasure.


    It was apparent that he was unhappy that he was actually a terrifying monster to her.


    Seeing that he seemed a little upset, Sydney understood that he had misunderstood her. In


    response, she held her forehead resignedly and smiled. "Not me. It''s your younger brother who said


    that."


    "Jayden?" Julien frowned.


    Sydney mumbled a response to him. "Your brother called me earlier. We talked about you and I


    asked him if he wanted to speak to you, but he said that he didn''t want to. He called you a monster,


    and he didn''t want to speak to a monster."


    As a matter of fact, she didn''t exaggerate anything. All that she said was true.


    Julien''s face instantly darkened. "A monster?"


    "Yes." She nodded and continued, "He said that you would question his studies every time you talk


    to him over the phone. To someone like him who dislikes studying, you are exactly like a monster."


    Sheughed gloatingly.


    Seeing that she wasughing at him, Julien reached out his hand to pinch her cheek. "Is it that


    funny? "


    Sydney nodded with bright eyes. "Of course. This is the first time I have ever heard someone calling


    you a monster. This is really hrious!"


    Julien flicked her on her forehead.


    If it was any other person who dared tough at him like this, he would have beaten the crap out of


    this person.


    However, if it was Sydney, he would always tolerate her.


    "Alright. Stopughing. Hurry up and eat. Aren''t you hungry?" Julien pushed dinner toward her. "As


    for Jayden, I have my way to deal with him."


    "How are you going to deal with him?" Sydney asked curiously as she picked up the cutlery.


    He narrowed his eyes menacingly. "I''ll send him a few sets of exercise books and have his coach


    watch over him to make sure that he finishes them. I''ve checked the calendar. They will have their


    finalpetition soon, so he will probably be back next week. When he returns, I''ll check his


    homework. He can forget about ying basketball if he doesn''t finish them."


    Sydney inhaled sharply and then gave him a thumbs-up. "That''s harsh."


    She wondered if it was her fault that Jayden would soon face this tragedy.


    It was impossible for Jayden toplete a few exercise books within a week.


    Jayden was an underachiever in academics, so he would never pull it off.


    Therefore, it was clear that this punishment was especially harsh for Jayden.


    As expected, those who were in the business had described Julien urately. He was known as


    the demon of the business world. He was vengeful, petty, always holding grudges, and cruel. All of


    these were exact words to describe his personality.


    He was even able to treat his younger brother so cruelly, let alone outsiders.


    Upon hearing Sydney''sment, Julien chuckled. "I''m doing that for Jayden''s own good. By the


    way, why did he call you?"


    "Nothing important. He finally got his hands on his phone. And he knew that we had gotten back


    together, so he called up to talk to me." Sydney took a sip of the warm soup.


    Upon hearing that, Julien nodded lightly. "Don''t pick up his calls too often."


    "Why not?" Sydney was puzzled.


    He pursed his lips and said, "Because he''s a man."


    Sydney looked at him speechlessly. After a while, she said, "Julien, he''s still a kid, and he''s your


    younger brother. Why are you jealous of this?"


    He looked into her eyes and repeated, "But he''s a man."
