Chapter 789 The Guilt in the Heart
In the past, if not for Lyra, Jayden would not have misunderstood that Sydney was a seductress and
interfered with Lyra’s rtionship with his brother. Naturally, he would not have hated Sydney.
He used to have a bad temper, but he also knew how good Sydney was to him in those six years.
He hated seductresses, so he had been ignoring Sydney''s kindness to him and treated Sydney
coldly.
Only in this way could he remind himself at any time not to be moved by Sydney. He kept telling
himself, ‘She is a seductress. She interferes with Lyra’s rtionship with Julien. I can’t be moved
just because she is nice to me.’
The reason why he hated seductress so much was that when he was young, he had heard some
people say that his mother was a seductress who interfered with the rtionship between his father
and another woman.
He was very angry and also helpless because his mother was indeed a seductress.
Although his mother was not a conventional seductress, he had been ridiculed a lot of times
because of his mother’s identity. Even his parents were criticized by some people, who said that his
mother was uncouth and his father, the master of the Flint family, didn’t love an elegant, rich girl but
loved an uncouth shrew because he wanted to change his taste.
These words were like sharp knives that plunged hard into his young heart, thus making him more
rebellious and extremely inferior.
Therefore, over those six years, he treated Sydney with a bad attitude, Julien would divorce her and
let her leave the Flint family.
He didn’t want his brother to beughed at by others like his father.
However, after Sydney left, he thoroughly understood that Sydney was not a seductress at all. He
finally knew that Sydney was the one that his brother had always loved and that Lyra was the
seductress who pretended to be Sydney.
He regretted that he helped the real seductress to drive away Sydney. The moment he knew this,
he was so guilty that he was almost out of breath.
He wanted to apologize to Sydney, but he felt shameless, and he was afraid that she would not
forgive him, so he did not muster up the courage to appear in front of Sydney and say sorry to her.
He even felt happy that the U17 Youth Tournament was about to begin, and then he couldn''t wait to
pack up and leave Port City.
He thought that he did not have to face the guilt in his heart and apologize for the time being after
he left. However, he was wrong. He felt more and more guilty and thought he was despicable and
shameless because he didn''t say he was sorry.
During these months, he met a lot of people and experienced a lot ofpetition, he had grown up
a lot, and his mind had matured a little bit. Finally, he had the courage to make this call.
This time, he wanted to say how sorry he was.
Thinking, Jayden on the other end of the phone clenched his fist and cheered himself up.
Sydney did not know what he was thinking. She snorted coldly. "But you can''t deny what you did in
the past."
Jayden was speechless, thinking, ''Yes, I am deceived, but I am the one who couldn''t distinguish the
truth from false ims. My behaviors toward Sydney were excessive. I really did many bad things,
but I am not forced by Lyra.''
Hearing no voice, Sydney flicked her nails and uttered, "What? You admit it?"
"Hmm." Jayden nodded.
He was only seventeen years old, but he was one meter ny centimeters tall and two centimeters
taller than Julien.
He sat in the small chair, like a hill.

Such a tall man showed an obedient face, looking funny. "I admit it. I know I deserve it."
A trace of surprise shed in Sydney’s eyes, and then she smiled, "You actually know that you
deserve it. Good. Now you are much more likable than you used to be."
Although she didn''t see him, she could still feel his changes after a few words.
In the past, Jayden was gloomy and sensitive, and he had strong self-esteem, so he could not listen
to angry words or any mockery of him. When he heard them, he would be furious, and the way he
looked at people and the way he spoke was very sharp.
Now Sydney could tell his tone was not as sharp as it used to be and that he was not angry about
her mockery of him tonight, so she was surprised that he had changed so much.
She wondered what he had been through in thest few months.
When Jayden heard Sydney say that he was much more likable than before, he was delighted and
smiled. "Do you like me now?"
Sydney replied, "Don''t be narcissistic. I still remember all the things you have done in the past. If
you want me to like you, you have to wait."
She could not change her opinion of him for the little change he had made.
Jayden sighed disappointingly. "I thought you were starting to like me."
"In your dreams." Sydney relentlessly uttered.
Jayden said unhappily, "You have gotten back together with my brother. That means you forgive him
for what he did to you. Then why you can’t..."
"Stop!" Sydney frowned, hurriedly interrupted him, and said in a cold voice, "Your brother has done
a lot for me in the past few months. I can forgive him and get back together with him because of his
actual actions. What about you? You didn''t do anything, but you just want me to forgive you. You
don’t deserve my forgiveness."
"I..." Jayden lowered his head. "Well, I was shameless. I was wrong."
Just now, he really thought he could also be forgiven since his brother was forgiven, but he never
thought about what efforts his brother had made to get Sydney’s forgiveness.
Although Sydney did not say it clearly, Jayden thought that his brother must have done something
very important ording to her serious tone.
Compared with his brother, Jayden, who did nothing, wanted to be forgiven, which was indeed
somewhat shameless.
Sydney rubbed her temples. "Well, you called me tonight. What on earth is the matter?"
Jayden touched the tip of his nose. "Nothing important. I''ve been in closedpetitions and training
for the past few months, and I didn''t have ess to my phone orputers, so I didn''t know that
you and my brother got back together until I got my cell phone after the game today. I''m so happy,
so I want to call you and talk to you."
