Chapter 586 The Old Madam''s Kidding


    Julien texted Sydney, "I''m downstairs."


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Seeing the message, Sydney headed to the balcony of her living room. Looking down from the


    railing, she saw the familiar Maybach parked at the curb. The car looked distinguished.


    But Julien was not sitting in the car. He was standing by the car, leaning against the door, looking


    down at his phone.


    Suddenly, he seemed to sense something. He put down his phone and looked up, and then he met


    Sydney''s eyes.


    Julien raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then he waved at Sydney.


    Sydney didn''t expect Julien to notice her.


    After freezing for a moment, she waved back at him.


    "Come down." Julien called out to Sydney.


    Sydney nodded and replied, "I''ll be right down."


    Then she turned around and left the balcony.


    Five minutester, she came downstairs in her high heels, carrying two bags in her hand. Julien


    wanted to take over the bags from her hands. He walked up to Sydney, who was walking fast. The


    snow had just melted, and the ground was still slippery. Suddenly, Sydney slipped and lurched


    forward.


    Seeing her slipping, Julien didn''t show any nervousness on his face but had a smile. He calmly


    opened his arms and made a gesture to catch her.


    Unexpectedly, he did catch her.


    Sydney fell straight into his arms. He folded his right arm and held her tightly against his chest. He


    looked down at her and whispered, "Next time, don''t walk in such a hurry." And Julien took over the


    bags in her hands.


    Sydney blushed with embarrassment. She got away from his arms and said, "I know. Thank you."


    "All right. Get in the car." Julien opened the front passenger door and gestured for her to get in.


    After Sydney got into the car, Julien put the bags in the back seat.


    ncing at the bags, Julien asked, "What are those?" "I brought some gifts for Grandma, a


    massager and some other things for the elderly."


    Sydney answered as she fastened her seat belt.


    Julien nodded, closed the car door for her, and then headed for the driver''s seat.


    On the way, Sydney hesitated to ask," Julien."


    "Yes?" Julien nced at her out of the corner of his eye and asked tenderly," What''s wrong?"


    "Why did Grandma ask you to invite me to dinner?" Sydney asked, her head resting on her hand.


    Julien shook his head slightly, "I don’t know. But Grandma sounded serious. I think she had


    something to tell you. She told me to make sure to bring you over." "Oh." Sydney nodded and didn''t


    ask any more questions.


    An hourter, they arrived at the Flint family''s old residence.


    Sydney unbuckled her seat belt, turned around, and grabbed the bags in the back seat.


    Then she got out of the car.


    Julien walked up to her and held out his hand to her, "Let me carry the bags."


    "It''s okay. They''re not heavy." Sydney shook her head, "Besides, you only have one good arm.


    Wouldn''t it be too bad for me if I let you carry them?"


    "You are not bad." Suddenly, an elderly woman’s kind voice sounded behind Sydney.


    Sydney''s eyes lit up. She turned around in


    a hurry, "Grandma!"


    The Old Madam wasing over, helped by the maid. The olddy smiled at Sydney, "Syd, I


    haven''t seen you in days, and you’ve grown more beautiful. Today''s makeup suits you well.


    Although it is different from what you usually have, it suits you better. Your previous makeup looked


    too sophisticated. It felt distant. This is good, so sweet, so pretty."


    Sydney was nervous and shy when she heard the Old Madam''spliment.


    She had spent a lot of time on this makeup.


    In the afternoon, she was lying in bed, scrolling through the short videos, and happened to see this


    makeup. It was said to be very attractive to guys. Then she got excited and put it on herself.


    "It''s very good." Julien nodded to Sydney.


    He had noticed that she looked different when she hade downstairs an hour ago.


    She looked even more beautiful today!


    Sydney blushed. She nced at Julien and then said to the Old Madam, "I usually dress


    sophisticatedly to look intimidating; otherwise, I might not be able to manage the staff. But I came to


    see you today, so I put on this makeup."


    "Oh, you look pretty. If I were younger, I''d let you put this makeup on me." the Old Madam took


    Sydney''s hand and said affectionately.


    Julien looked at her grandmother and asked, "Grandma, it''s so cold. Why are you and Felicia out?"


    "Why don''t you stay inside?" Sydney also asked.


    Felicia, who was holding the Old Madam''s arm, replied, "Ma’am heard from the security that Mr.


    Flint and you had arrived, so she insisted that I help her out to meet you. She wanted to see you


    guys soon."


    Julien frowned disapprovingly, "Even so, Grandma, don''te out in the future. What if you fall


    down?"


    the Old Madam was very old. If she slipped, it would be terrible.


    Sydney also hurriedly added, "Julien is right. It''s so cold. It snowedst night. The roads are wet


    and slippery. Felicia, don''t listen to Grandma next time." Sydney turned to Felicia.


    Felicia nodded her head, "I know, Ms. Raines. I will talk to Ma’am next time." "Good." Sydney


    smiled. Julien and Sydney persuaded the olddy not to go out. Instead of being angry, the olddy


    smiled, "Felicia, look at Julien and Syd! Don''t they look like a couple?"


    Felicia smiled back at the olddy''s words, "They look so much like a couple! Anyone would think


    they are a couple."


    Hearing the two elderlies’ chat, Julien raised his eyebrows and didn''t say anything.


    His grandmother and Felicia said that he and Sydney looked like a couple. What could he say?


    Was he going to deny it? That was impossible!


    Sydney didn''t know what Julien was thinking. She looked at the Old Madam and Felicia in


    embarrassment and said," Grandma, Felicia, stop teasing me.” Julien was her ex-husband, but now


    the two teased that they looked like a couple. Sydney felt awkward.


    Seeing Sydney''s reddened face, the Old Madam knew Sydney was embarrassed. She smiled and


    waved her hand, "I''m sorry, Syd. Don''t be mad."


    "I won''t." Sydney shook her head.


    Julien looked at his watch. "Well, don''t stand around here. Let''s go inside."


    "Yes! Julien reminded me! Let''s go inside! Syd, are you hungry?" the Old Madam asked.


    Sydney smiled, "No, I''m not very hungry.”


    "Well, you''re a little hungry. Let''s get inside. Syd, give the bags in your hand to Julien. Let him carry


    them. He''s a man. Although he only has one good arm, he can carry them with it. Give him the


    bags. Don''t spoil him. Do you understand?" the Old Madam said to Sydney with a serious face.


    The corners of Sydney''s mouth twitched. She nced at Julien and had a wry smile, "Grandma,


    you''re kidding."


    "I''m not kidding. You''ll get itter. All right. Let''s go." the Old Madam patted the back of Felicia''s


    hand and gestured for Felicia to help her inside.


    Julien and Sydney were still standing there. They didn''t follow up immediately.


    "Did you hear what Grandma just said? Can you give me the bags now?" Julien reached out.


    "Here you go." Sydney handed the bags to Julien.


    Julien took them. "Let''s go. Take my arm when we go through the garden."


    "Why?" Sydney looked up at him in confusion.
