My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Hunter chuckled while buckling his seatbelt. "It's nothing. I just told her a horror story."

"Do I look that gullible to you?" Sydney looked at him speechlessly.

Hunter started the car with a helpless expression on his face. "I'm telling the truth. What can I do if you don't believe me?"

"Boring!" Sydney rolled her eyes and withdrew her gaze.

Hunter suddenly whirled around and gave her a glance. "President Raines, I just suddenly realized that you and Mrs. Madden look a little alike."

"Huh?" Sydney was dumbfounded. "I look like her?"

"Yep."

"That's impossible!" Sydney shook her head. "Don't be ridiculous."

"I'm not joking. I'm serious. Your facial contour and eyes really look like hers." Hunter nodded seriously.

Then, he added, "It's almost identical. I'd believe it if someone said you two were mother and daughter."

Sydney was now sure that Hunter was indeed not joking and froze for a moment.

However, she soon regained her composure and waved her hand. "So, what if we look alike? There are tons of people in this world who have lookalikes. It's nothing unusual." "That's true," Hunter responded.

Neither of them put this discovery to heart and soon put it behind them.

Sydney rolled down the car window and let the cold wind blow on her face. "By the way, I have a question to ask you."

"What is it?" Hunter's body swayed gently to the drumbeat of the music he was listening to.

Sydney gave the irresponsible driver an eyeroll and said, "Among your friends, who has the name Z-H on WhatsApp?"

"What?" The music was too loud and Hunter did not hear her for a moment.

Sydney rubbed her aching temples and shouted," Who's Z-H?"

Screech!

The car stopped following a sharp squeal from the tires, and the two bodies inside the car lurched forward. Just as they were about to crash, they were pulled back into their seats by their seat belts. Sydney was so frightened that her face went white, and it took a while before she got her bearings back. She turned her head furiously and slapped Hunter's arm. "What the hell are you doing?" Hunter also knew that he had almost caused an accident. He let go of the steering wheel and wiped his face. "Ahem, sorry. My bad, my bad."

If she had not suddenly asked about Z-H, he would not have slammed on the brakes in surprise.

Sydney rubbed her temples. "Okay, you'd better explain your real identity to Sharon. I can't afford a driver like you."

"Don't be like that. You can't fire me just because I made one mistake while driving." Hunter looked at her with a grin. Sydney laughed dryly. "Drive!"

Hunter shrugged and started driving again, but he peeked at her from the corner of his eyes. "You asked me who Z-H was, right?"

"Yeah." Sydney nodded.

Hunter looked around. "Why are you asking about him?"

Sydney lowered her eyelids to hide the look in her eyes and said faintly, "Nothing. I happened to add him as a friend, and he helped me twice already, so I wanted to know about him. He said that he's your friend, so I'm asking you."

"I see." Hunter did not dare to look at her, afraid that she would see the guilty conscience in his eyes. "Yeah, he's my friend, but we're not particularly close. I don't even know his name. We only had a few drinks

together, and he already went abroad." "I see." Sydney nodded.

If he was abroad, that meant she would not be able to see him anymore.

Sydney sighed with relief.

She was afraid of meeting him one day and the awkwardness that would follow. After all, she was quite close to Hunter now.

However, if he was abroad, then she did not have to worry.

Despite that, there was an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart for some reason.

Sydney looked at the scenery outside and did not speak anymore.

Hunter sighed in relief. In his heart, he told himself that he would go to Julien later and take advantage of him.

After all, he spent a lot of effort helping Julien cover up.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Shallow Bay.

Sydney got out of the car and limped into the building on her crutches.

As soon as she exited the elevator, the teenager squatting in front of her apartment brightened up and immediately stood up. "You're finally back. I've been waiting forever... What happened to your foot?" The teenager looked at her casted foot as well as the two crutches under her armpits in shock.

Sydney did not answer Jayden's question and looked at him with a frown. "Why are you here again?"

Jayden hung his head and replied sullenly, "My mom and I had another fight. She told me to quit the basketball team, but I didn't want to, so I ran away."

Sydney laughed mockingly. "What do you take my place for? Why do you keep coming here whenever you run away from home?"

"I have nowhere else to go," Jayden said awkwardly.

He actually did not know why he came to her place.

He only knew that if he came here, he would feel very calm.

"Your Flint family has many assets and properties everywhere. How can you have nowhere to go?" Sydney took out her keys. "Get out of the way. I want to open the door."

Jayden moved a step to the side away from the main door.

When Sydney stepped up to the door, he stood right behind her, looking like he was going to follow her in at any moment.

Sydney stopped opening the door and turned her head to look at him. "Are you going to follow me in?" "I told you, I have nowhere else to go. I'll stay here tonight." Jayden looked down at her with an expression that said he would not leave even if he was beaten to death.

Although he was only a teenager, he was already 6ft tall due to playing basketball.

Sydney had to look up to see his face.

"You can stay at my place, but why should I let you stay for free? 15 grand a night." Sydney made the money gesture at him.

Jayden's whole body exploded. "15 grand? Why don't you just rob a bank?"

"What? Can't afford it? Then don't stay here." Sydney shrugged with one hand, acting as if she had no other choice.

Jayden's face turned red. "Who said I can't afford it? I just don't have the money on me. I'll give it to you next time."

"No. If you can't pay up, then leave. I don't take credit. Also, why should I take in the son of my enemy?" Sydney said and opened the door to go in.

Jayden paled slightly at the words "son of my enemy", but he quickly recovered and tried to follow her in.

Sydney immediately shut the door, leaving only a crack open. "I told you. If you don't have money, then leave."

"I'm not leaving!" Jayden looked at her through the crack, huffing, and puffing. "I know my mother was wrong. I'll just give you more money as compensation next time." Sydney smiled. "No."

Could money compensate for six years of harm?

"No this, no that. What else do you want?" Jayden stomped his foot.

Sydney looked at him. "Simple. I want you to leave."

"I'm not leaving!" Jayden insisted.

"No? Then you can just stay outside. Don't expect me to be soft-hearted and let you in."

Then, she directly closed the door.

Jayden looked at the door in front of him, dumbfounded. He could not believe that she closed the door on him.

For a time, he could not help but feel aggrieved and plopped down on the ground in anger. While his heart complained about how heartless Sydney was, he also vaguely regretted the past and even did some reflection.

The more he reflected on his actions toward her over the past six years, the more his heart felt uncomfortable.

Sydney did not walk away after entering the house and stood behind the door, looking at the peephole.

When she saw that Jayden was not leaving, she could not help but have a headache.

Did the heavens send this guy just to torture her?

Sydney took out her phone and dialed Julien's number.

When Julien saw the caller ID, a strange light flashed in his eyes before he answered, "Hello?"
