Chapter 1026 She Even Was Proud of Herself
"I’m sure! I’m certainly sure!" Sydney nodded very seriously, showing that she had really learned
and didn''t need him anymore.
Watching her confident face, Julien shook his head with a smile, "OK, then do it. I''ll just wait and
see your work."
He would like to see if she really didn''t need him.
"Don''t worry, I won''t let you down," Sydney smiled at him, then turned her head back, and began to
carve.
Seeing that she was ignoring him, Julien patted her head and leaned against the wall with his arms
folded.
Sydney turned around and stared at him, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing, just patting an ungrateful person," Julien shrugged.
Sydney red at him, "Ungrateful? I’m not ungrateful!"
"You are," Julien spread his hands, "I just taught you, and now you ignore me. Aren''t you
ungrateful? You are not only ungrateful but also heartless."
"You..." Sydney was speechless because what Julien said seemed to have some truth.
She did ignore him after she had learned how to carve.
Now she also thought she was a little ungrateful.
For a moment, Sydney blushed with embarrassment.
When Julien saw her like this, he stopped teasing her. He stepped forward and rubbed her hair
gently. Soon her hair was rumpled up by him again.
Then heforted her, "All right, I’m teasing you. Don''t think too much, okay?"
Sydney pushed his hand away from the top of her head angrily, "Go away. I don''t want to talk to
you."
"You really won’t talk to me?" Julien squinted.
Sydney rolled her eyes, "If you still want to eatter, don''t bother me. Aren''t you hungry?"
Julien nodded his head, "I''m a little hungry."
"Then get out of the way. When I finish carving this orchid, we can eat together," Sydney waved her
hand and urged him to leave her alone.
Julien chuckled, "OK, I won’t bother you. Enjoy your time."
Seeing that she was so impatient, Julien stopped talking to give her quiet time.
Sydney moved her wrist, bowed her head, and continued to carve.
Unexpectedly, it was not easy as she had thought.
Se had learned some carving skills, and just now she carved very smoothly with Julien’s help. She
didn''t know why now she was having a hard time carving.
Every time she moved the carving knife, she could feel the obvious resistance.
When Julien held her hands, the pumpkin could easily be carved into any shape she wanted, but
now she needed to use a little more effort to change the shape of the pumpkin.
In less than two minutes, she clearly felt that her arms were a little sour, just like the feeling she had
had before Julien came to help her.
Sydney couldn’t help asking herself, ‘What''s going on? Why?’
She stopped carving, looked down at the carving knife in her hand, and then stared in a daze at the
orchid that was almost finished.
Seeing this, Julien asked, "What''s wrong? Have you finished?"
Sydney opened her mouth, but no sound came out. A momentter, her somewhat embarrassed
voice sounded, "No."
"Then why did you stop?" The smile spread wider over Julien''s face.

Sydney clenched the carving knife and said nothing but thought, ‘Why did I stop? Because I''m too
tired.’
Seeing that she did not speak but looked at her arm, Julien came forward and took the carving knife
and pumpkin orchid in her hand, "Let me do it. Are your arms sore?"
Sydney looked at him in surprise, "How did you know it? You knew this would happen to me, right?
That''s why you asked me if I was sure."
Julien didn’t answer her directly. He bowed his head and said while carving, "You are a novice. You
have never carved anything before. Even if you have learned how to carve, you are still not clear
about the strength and skills of carving, so I am sure it won''t take long for your arms to get sore. I
was also like this when I started learning to carve."
"I see," Sydney pouted unhappily, and then her gaze fell on Julien''s hand.
Watching him easily peel off a piece of pumpkin, she asked, "I could easily peel off the pumpkin
when you taught me, but just now I couldn''t. Why?"
Julien raised her eyelids and looked at her, "It''s because I held your hand at that time. I exerted my
strength, but you didn’t. It could be said it was I rather than you who was carving, so you felt it was
not easy without me."
At this time, Sydney had nothing to say, sighing in her heart, ‘No wonder my arms get sore without
his help. It turns out that he exerted his strength when he held my hand.’
To put it bluntly, it was Julien who had been carving from beginning to end, and her so-called having
learned how to carve was just Julien deliberately making her happy.
However, Sydney took it seriously and thought that she had really learned it. She even was proud of
herself.
Sydney covered her face, "Just now, you must beughing at me, right?"
Julien chuckled, "No, I didn’t."
"I don''t believe it," Sydney muttered.
Julien blew the pumpkin crumbs on his hand, "All right, it''s finished. How about it?"
He handed the carved orchid to Sydney.
Sydney looked down, and soon her eyes lit up, "It''s beautiful."
She smiled, took the orchid, and stared at it carefully.
Julien washed the carving knife and put it away. Hearing her praise, he smiled widely, "If you like it,
I''ll teach you when you have time."
"Great!" Sydney put the orchid on the dish te and nodded happily, "I will carve a beautiful orchid
myself, and I will never let youugh at me again."
"It’s a deal. Let''s eat first," Julien took the initiative to pick up that dish te.
Sydney followed him out of the kitchen.
When they came to the living room, Julien put the dish on the table, then pulled the chair, and
patted the back of the chair.
Sydney went over and sat down knowingly.
She knew that he was serving her.
Sure enough, after Sydney sat down, Julien pulled another chair opposite her and sat down.
He wiped his hands with a napkin, then nced at the rich dishes on the table, and suddenly asked
the question that had been on his mind since he entered the apartment, "Is there anything to
celebrate today?"
"Why do you think so?" Sydney poured a ss of light fruit juice and handed it to Julien.
Julien took it, put it aside, and pointed to the dishes on the table, "The number of dishes today is
more than usual, so I think you have something to celebrate."
Hearing this, Sydney smiled and said, "There''s nothing to celebrate. You didn''t answer my phone in
the afternoon, so I guessed that you might be very busy. Recently, you have been with me almost
all the time and seldom go to the Flint Group. That''s why you got busy today and didn''t answer my
phone. I felt a little guilty, so I wanted to make more dishes topensate you. Come on, try them!"
