Chapter 583 Midnight Intruder


    Sydney tossed the bathrobe onto Julien and said, "I bought it online a while ago, but it''s too big for


    me. So, you can wear it. Even though it might be a little small for you, it’s just for a night. And you


    can make do."


    As Julien caught the bathrobe, he answered, "All right."


    "Go and take a shower and quickly dry your hair before you catch a cold." While she said that, she


    pointed at the bathroom.


    "Well, I''ll be going then." With a nod, he left for the bathroom with the bathrobe in his hands.


    After he left, she didn''t stay in the living room either. Instead, she went to the kitchen to prepare a


    bowl of ginger soup for him.


    No matter what, she could not let him catch a cold after he had given her the crystal ball.


    After slicing the ginger, Sydney turned on the stove and began to make the soup.


    Once she was done, she took the bowl of soup back to the living room.


    When she noticed that Julien still hadn''te out of the bathroom, Sydney ced the bowl of


    ginger soup on the coffee table. Then, she sat down and picked up the crystal ball.


    As she caressed the crystal ball, she didn''t know whether tough or cry. She thought, ’ What an


    idiot. Who in their right frame of mind would go out in the heavy snow at night just to buy this thing?


    I''m afraid you are the only one who did it.''


    After that, Sydney put the crystal ball back into its box and walked to her room, where she ced


    the box on the nightstand.


    Then, she opened the box once again to reveal the crystal ball inside.


    Soon after, she kept away the swan decoration that was originally on the nightstand.


    Without therge swan decoration upying the space, the nightstand looked empty and in with


    only the small crystal ball on top of it.


    However, Sydney didn''t think that it looked ugly. At that moment, to her, there was no other


    decoration that couldpare to the crystal ball.


    At this time, she heard a noiseing from the living room.


    When she realized that Julien had finished showering, Sydney hurriedly walked out of her room.


    However, she couldn''t help but let out augh at the sight of him standing by the sofa and drying his


    hair in her bathrobe.


    The bathrobe was way too small for him, so it was stretched tautly around his body and made him


    look ridiculous.


    Even so, the bathrobe had its good points. At least, it showed Julien''s good figure.


    Julien clearly knew what Sydney wasughing about, but he merely raised an eyebrow and didn''t


    stop her fromughing further.


    After all, he admitted that he looked rather ridiculous at that moment.


    Therefore, she couldugh as much as she wanted to. He wouldn''t mind it as long as she was


    happy.


    However, Sydney had onlyughed for a short while before sheposed herself.


    She was still aware that everyone had their self-esteem. An asionalugh was fine, but if she


    had continued tough at him, it would be disrespectful.


    Sydney cleared her throat with a cough before she pointed at the bowl of soup on the coffee table.


    "I specially made that soup for you. Drink it."


    It was only at that moment that Julien realized the bowl of soup on the table. For a moment, a look


    of surprise shed past his eyes. Then he had a tender look in his eyes. "Okay, I''ll drink it."


    He tossed the towel onto the armrest of the sofa and sat down. Then he picked up the bowl of


    ginger soup and drank it in one gulp.


    Moments after he had finished drinking the soup, Sydney threw a hairdryer at him and said, "Sit


    here and dry your hair. I''ll make the bed for you. "


    Julien obediently did as he was told. Then he stood up to walk toward the opposite armchair before


    taking a seat there.


    On the other hand, Sydney went in front of the sofa bed and started to feel the bottom of sofa. Once


    she had found a rod, she forcibly pulled it outward.


    Then, he watched as she yanked anotheryer from under the sofa. As she lifted the sofa, the


    exposedyer was in alignment with the original sofa seat.


    And just like that, the sofa was now arge bed.


    Julien slightly raised his brow in surprise. It was his first time learning that the sofa had a function


    like this.


    "I''ll go and get you a nket. "After Sydney finished locking the sofa bed into position, she turned


    and returned to her room where she fiddled around her closet for two nkets and a pillow before


    she ced them on the sofa.


    "All right. I won’t turn off the heater at night, so you won''t be cold when you sleep here." When she


    saw the sofa bed, Sydney pped her hands and turned toward Julien, who was drying his hair.


    As he nced at the sofa bed, his eyes shed briefly before he hummed in reply.


    "I''ll go to rest first. Go to bed once you''re done drying your hair," said Sydney.


    Julien nodded slightly. "All right. Good night." "Goodnight, " Sydney replied before she walked


    toward her room.


    When Sydney returned to her room, she shut the door, lifted the covers, and got into bed. Then, she


    took the crystal ball from the nightstand. She shook it as hard as she could twice. After that, she put


    it in its box before turning off the lights and lying down on her bed.


    Now that she had tucked herself in, she turned to face the crystal ball and discovered that it was


    brightly glowing. And the floating snowkes could be seen in the crystal ball.


    She had only been wondering a moment ago whether this particr crystal ball could glow in the


    dark like many others.


    After giving it a test, she never expected that the crystal ball could glow in the dark.


    Sydney turned around. She smiled as she stared at the crystal ball.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    A whileter, when the snowkes had stopped fluttering and settled at the bottom of the crystal ball


    once again, she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.


    Half an hour after she had fallen asleep, someone suddenly pushed open her bedroom door. A tall


    figure then appeared at the doorway and was silhouetted by the moonlight.


    The person didn''t remain in ce. Instead, he directly entered the room. Now that the intruder was


    in the room, the door was gently closed again as the person was careful not to make a single sound


    the entire time.


    Once the door was closed, that man immediately turned to head for the bed. Upon reaching the


    head of the bed, the man turned right and walked forward before taking another right turn a few


    stepster to arrive at the other end of the bed. Then, after lifting the covers, the many down and


    stretched his arms to embrace Sydney on the bed by her waist.


    The man was none other than Julien.


    He hadn''t fallen asleep outside, and he didn''t fall asleep on purpose.


    As the woman he loved was just a wall away, he was not nning on sleeping alone.


    Thus, he had waited outside until it felt like the right time toe in.


    Julien pulled Sydney into his arms, making sure that her back was almost pressed against his


    chest.


    He lifted his head to nt a gentle kiss on her face before resting his head on the pillow again.


    "Good night." He whispered before closing his eyes and falling asleep.


    Even so, as soon as dawn broke the next morning, Julien opened his eyes and looked at Sydney in


    his arms.


    When he noticed that Sydney wasn''t going to wake up anytime soon, he removed his hands that


    were wrapped around her waist. Then, he lifted the nket and quietly got off the bed to leave the


    room without making a single sound. Once he had returned to the living room, hey down on the


    sofa bed once more and returned to sleep as though nothing had happened.


    However, perhaps because Sydney was not by his side, Julien was unable to fall asleep. After


    closing his eyes for a moment, he sat upright and grabbed his phone to make a phone call.


    "Who is calling this early in the morning? " From the other end of the phone, Zach was still sleepy


    and said in an impatient voice.


    Julien squinted as he said in a low voice," It''s me, Julien."


    "Julien? " Zach frowned, wondering why the name had sounded so familiar.


    A secondter, when he returned to his senses, his eyes instantly opened as he sat up on his bed.


    He was no longer drowsy and became awake. After wearing his sses, he let out a ttering


    laugh. "Oh, so it is you! Mr. Flint, is there anything you need this early in the morning?"


    In the past, Julien used to call Zach in the middle of the night with his orders.


    However, Zach did not expect Julien to


    torture him even before sunrise.


    Thus, he thought Julien was a devil.


    "Bring me a set of clothes and breakfast to Shallow Bay at 8:00 am." Julien nced at his


    wristwatch and ordered in a cold tone.


    Zach was stunned and asked, "Shallow Bay?"


    Julien said, "Don''t bete." After saying that, he hung up.
