Chapter 694 The Malfunction of the Heater
"I know." Sydney understood the Old Madam''s intention. Then she nodded with a smile.
The Old Madam looked at her and asked, "So, are you sure you don''t me Julien, Sydney?"
"Well, as you said, he wasn''t in his right mind at that time, so there''s no point ming him. And he
wasn''t acting on his free will anyway." Sydney let out a sigh.
"You know Julien was hypnotized?" The Old Madam appeared surprised.
"Yes, I do. He told me earlier. I also confirmed it with Finn. After learning the truth that he was
hypnotized, I decided to forgive him for what he did to me. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have let it go so
easily." Sydney answered while flipping her hair.
The Old Madam smiled and nodded. "That''s right. I''ll give you the bracelet now, Syd. I know I
should have done this six years ago, but I''m d that I finally give it to you. In the future, you can
pass this down to your daughter-inw."
"No. No, Grandma." Sydney shook her head and did not want to ept the bracelet. "I can''t ept
it. I''ve got back with Julien, but we''re still not remarried. Therefore, I''m still not the Flint Family''s
daughter-inw, so I can''t ept it."
"I understand that you and Julien haven''t remarried, but to me, you''re my grandson''s wife, the Flint
Family''s daughter-inw. And that is a fact that will never change. Don''t you want to marry Julien?"
The Old Madam stared at Sydney.
Sydney parted her lips as she shook her head shortly. "I''d love to marry him, but..."
"Well, since you''re going to marry Julien, you can ept this bracelet. You''re just receiving it a bit
earlier." The Old Madam interrupted Sydney''s words. Then she seized her hand as she slid the
bracelet along her wrist.
Sydney wanted to stop the Old Madam, but before she came back to her senses, the bracelet was
already on her wrist. Despite its dim greenish appearance, it appeared to be less shiny than the
ones in the jewelry shops.
However, the bracelet''s vintage-looking appearance was something that no other bracelets could
match. Thus, Sydney looked especially gorgeous with the bracelet on her fair wrist, which showed
the uniqueness of her appearance and charm.
The Old Madam then patted the back of Sydney''s hand andplimented her. "Amazing! The
bracelet looks great on you. You''re the legit daughter-inw of the Flint Family."
With her face blushing, Sydney said, "Grandma..."
While she wanted to take it off, the Old Madam quickly restrained her by holding her hand and
spoke with a stern voice. "Don''t take it off. I''ve already put it on for you. You mustn''t take it off. Wear
it all the time, would you?"
Seeing the Old Madam''s serious look, Sydney felt helplessly amused. "Alright. I heard you. I''ll wear
it with me all the time."
She was afraid that the Old Madam would throw a tantrum at her if she ever tried to take off the
bracelet. After all, Sydney reckoned old people like the Old Madam tended to be more and
more childish as they grew older.
Noticing Sydney putting her hand away, the Old Madam realized that Sydney would not take off the
bracelet. Thus, she smiled dly, with a kind look on her face. "That''s right."
Sydney smiled in response, looking down while rubbing her bracelet with her palm.
Perhaps because of the Old Madam''spliment, she somehow started to believe that the bracelet
was a perfect match for her. And she thought it didn''t look old-fashioned at all.
"By the way, Grandma." Sydney looked up and gazed at the Old Madam with something seemingly
springing to her mind. "Why don''t you give this bracelet to Velma ?"
Although the Old Madam did not like Velma, Velma married Julien''s father after all, which made her
the Flint family''s daughter-inw as well.
Therefore, she reckoned the Old Madam should give the bracelet to Velma.
However, given the Old Madam''s words, it seemed that the bracelet had been with the olddy all
this time.
The smile on the Old Madam''s face faded when she heard Sydney''s words. "Because I don''t like
her at all. Neither have I ever approved of her as the Flint Family''s daughter-inw. After all, all the
ladies who married into the Flint Family went through a legitimate marriage with their husbands,
except her."
The Old Madam looked at the bracelet on Sydney''s wrist as she said, "None of the daughters-inw
in the Flint Family is ever a mistress, so I didn''t and won''t ever give this to her. If I did, I''d be
shaming our ancestors."
"Well, you have a point." Sydney nodded.
The Old Madam said, "That''s why I''ve never even thought of giving this bracelet to her over the
years. While she had implied her intention to have it, I brushed her off every single time. Honestly, if
she hadn''t behaved herself and treated Julien like her own son, I would have cast her out of the
family a long time ago."
The Old Madam chuckled the next second. "Alright. Let''s not talk about that anymore. It''s getting
late. Would you like to stick around and dine with me?"
"Sure." Sydney nodded in agreement.
The Old Madam happily reached for her phone and called Felicia to buy them a meal.
"What would you like to eat, Sydney?" The Old Madam asked with the phone in her hand.
Sydney thought for a while and replied, "I''ll just have whatever you have. My taste is pretty much
the same as yours."
"Alright. I''ll get Felicia to take care of it for us," said the Old Madam.
Sydney responded and stood up. "Grandma, I need to step outside to make a call. I''ll be right back."
"Sure. Please go ahead." The Old Madam replied with a chuckle.
Soon, Sydney turned around and walked toward the door.
When she exited the ward, she was immediately scared by the sight of a man standing right
outside. "Ah!"
Frightened by her scream, Julien stood straight and asked, "What''s wrong?"
Sydney rolled her eyes and gently patted her chest. "What''s wrong? You gave me a scare. How
long have you been standing here?"
Seeing how Julien stood still like a statue right outside the ward, Sydney believed anyone would get
scared in her ce.
No one would expect to see someone standing right on the other side of the door.
"For a while." Julien raised his wrist and looked at his watch. "I came here as soon as I was done
dealing with the discharge procedures."
He shifted his gaze to Sydney''s wrist on her chest. Then he looked closely at the eye-catching
green bracelet.
Sensing Julien''s gaze, Sydney raised her hand and shed her wrist in the air. "Grandma put this
on for me."
"It looks good on you." Julien praised Sydney while curling his lips upward.
Sydney was delighted upon hearing hispliment. She smiled when she put down her wrist.
"By the way, why didn''t you go inside since you were already done with the procedures?" Sydney
pointed at the door of the ward.

"I was waiting for you to be done talking with Grandma." Julien said as he looked at Sydney.
"I see." Sydney nodded and added, "Well, Grandma and I didn''t really talk much either, anyway. We
were talking about the bracelet most of the time."
"I know," said Julien.
"You heard everything?"
"Only some of it." Julien asked, "What are you doing out here?"
"I came here to make a call." Sydney shed her mobile phone. "Something went wrong with my
heaterst night, so I told the technician to help me take a look at it after I''m done with my work.
However, I just promised Grandma that I''d have dinner with herter, so I had to arrange another
time with the technician."
"Well, go to my ceter." Julien hummed.
"Ugh. What?" Sydney was stunned.
"Well, I know your heater isn''t working. By the time we finished our dinner and went back, it was
probably alreadyte. I don''t think we can get anyone to fix it until tomorrow. At the same time,
you''re going to freeze in your sleep without your heaterter at night. And you could even catch a
cold because of that, so you''d bettere over to my ce for the night." Julien said as his eyes lit
up. The light in his eyes quickly disappeared.
Nheless, Sydney was still able to notice his expression as she squinted. "Why does it seem to
me that you''re happy about my heater acting up?"
