My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Julien was reading a report on his tablet when he heard these words. He frowned slightly.

Lyra knew that Velma was trying to set them up and was very happy. However, her heart thumped when she saw the faint frown on the man's face.

"Julien, are you unwilling?" Lyra bit her lip and looked at the man.

Julien's thin lips moved slightly and he was just about to speak.

Velma slapped her thigh. "Of course he is! It's decided!"

"Mom!" Julien frowned deeper. "That's not good for Lyra. We're not married yet."

Lyra's face turned pale.

Velma had already made up her mind, but he still refused.

He was not showing her any respect!

Jayden, who was leisurely eating apples on the sofa, was inexplicably happy when he saw Lyra's unpleasant expression.

"So, what if you're not married yet? You're engaged and will live in the same room sooner or later. You're just staying together earlier." Velma disagreed.

Julien looked at the woman with her head down beside him. "It's disrespectful to Lyra." "What's disrespectful? Lyra..."

"It's okay, Aunty." Lyra shook her head with a forced smile. "Since Julien doesn't want to, then forget it.

There are still many rooms in the mansion. I can stay in another room."

"But..." Velma was reluctant and wanted to say something.

Jayden threw away the apple core and clapped his hands. "Mom, since Lyra said to forget it, then just forget it. Besides, Julien needs to give me extra classes tonight. He doesn't have time to accompany Lyra. Julien glanced at his brother, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Extra classes?" Velma looked at Jayden strangely.

It was not that she looked down on her son.

However, that boy had always been unwilling to study. There was no way he was getting extra classes from his brother.

"Mom, what's with that look in your eyes? What's wrong with me asking to be tutored?" Jayden jumped up like a cat that had its tail stepped on.

Velma pursed her lips. "I thought you were playing basketball and not going to bother taking the university entrance exam? Why are you having extra classes?"

"That's different. Even if I don't go to university, I still have to take the general knowledge course. I'll be banned from the basketball team if my general knowledge course score is bad. Let's go, Julien." After saying that, Jayden pulled Julien upstairs.

Lyra looked at the two figures and her hands clenched at her sides.

In the room, Julien closed the door. "You did that on purpose, right?"

Jayden chuckled. "I did it for you. You didn't want to be with Lyra, so I helped you."

In addition to that reason, there was also another reason.

He wanted to get back at Lyra for her behavior before dinner.

Jayden looked at his older brother. "Julien, why don't you want to stay with Lyra?"

Julien suddenly did not know how to answer this question.

That was because even he did not know why there was an inexplicable resistance in his heart.

Even at the resort, Lyra and he stayed in the same room but slept in different beds.

"Enough. Why are you asking so much? Take out your textbook. I'll give you an extra lesson." Julien changed the topic.

Jayden's eyes widened. "Wait, I was just using that as an excuse. You're going to give me an extra class?"

"Hurry up!" Julien looked at him coolly, his tone not to be denied.

Jayden silently took out his textbook with a crestfallen face.

The next day.

As soon as Sydney came to the company, Sophie handed her a courier envelope.

"Who is it from?" Sydney took it and looked at it. There was no sender information on it.

Sophie shook her head. "I'm not sure. The front desk said it was sent by a teenager who indicated that it was for you."

"A teenager?" Sydney pursed her lips. Jayden's face instantly emerged in her mind.

He was the only teenager she knew.

It could not be him, right?

"I got it. You collect the documents that need to be approved today. I'll go back to the office first." Sydney clipped the envelope with her arm. "Okay," Sophie responded.

Back in the office, Sydney put her bag down, pulled out her chair, and sat down before opening the envelope.

Inside was a ticket and a sticky note.

The ticket had an orange basketball printed on it, and next to it was written: U17 Youth Tournament.

Sydney immediately verified her suspicion. It was indeed from Jayden.

She put the ticket aside and picked up the sticky note. The crooked chicken scratch writing on it instantly caused her eyes to sting.

After a hint of disgust flashed on her face, she read the words. "Sydney, tomorrow is my first game on the national team. You have to come and see me. It's 4 pm, Downtown Stadium. Jayden Flint." Sydney's lips curled. "Who's going to watch your game?"

It was enough that she helped him get into the basketball team. He could dream on if he wanted her to go to his game!

She wondered what the Flint brothers were thinking. When she was with the Flint family, they all hated her to death. Now that she left, they suddenly treated her better instead.

There was something wrong with them!

Sydney coldly pulled the corners of her lips, tore up the sticky note, and threw it into the trash.

"President Raines." A knock at the door rang.

Sydney looked up. "Come in."

"These are the documents." Sophie put down the pile of papers.

Sydney nodded. "Alright, I'll look at them later. Also, tell Luke that there'll be a meeting at 10 o'clock."

"Understood." Sophie's eyes flashed slightly when she heard Luke's name, and she answered with a nod.

After she left, Sydney picked up her pen and began to go through the documents. When it was almost 10, she got up and left the office with her crutches, and went to the meeting.

It was noon by the time the meeting ended.

Sophie ordered lunch and had it delivered to Sydney's office.

After Sydney casually ate a few bites, Sharon knocked on the door and came in with a somewhat frustrated face. "President Raines, I'm back."

"Welcome back." Sydney smiled at her.

Sharon sighed.

Sydney asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Sharon shrugged. "I made the trip for nothing again. I still couldn't find the person I'm looking for."

"It's okay, take your time." Sydney smiled and comforted her. Then, she pointed to the chair across from her. "Have a seat."

Sharon pulled out the chair and sat down. "President

Raines, the loans from the banks just came in. It's a total of 90 million. I've already allocated the way to use the money. Please take a look."

"Sure." Sydney took the document and read it.

After reading it, she nodded. "The allocation is good. This way, many of Skylight's stalled projects can be relaunched. I'll discuss this with Luke and the others later. If there are no problems, then we'll follow your arrangement."

"Okay. Then I won't bother your lunch now. I'll go out first." Sharon got up and left.

Sydney picked up her spoon again and continued eating.

After she finished eating, she immediately went to Luke and several senior management to discuss the loans.

In the end, they unanimously decided to re-launch the previous projects according to the funds allocated by Sharon.

After the implementation, Sydney became busy as a bee. She ran up and down various departments, and when she had time to rest, it was already 2 pm the next day.

She sat in the office chair and exhaled, crossing her arms to pound her sore shoulders.

After pounding for a while and her shoulders did not hurt as much, she pulled open the drawer to make herself a cup of refreshing tea when she saw the ticket to the basketball game inside. "What time is it?" Sydney looked up at the bottom right corner of her computer.

2:39 pm!

It was not 4 pm yet.

Should she go?

Sydney hesitated.

She preferred not to go.

However, the ticket would be wasted if she did not go. That would be a pity.

In the end, she still decided to go and have a look.

After all, it was thanks to her that Jayden managed to get tickets in the first place. Going to see one of his games could be regarded as his reward.

With that in mind, Sydney picked up the phone and asked Sophie to arrange a driver.
