Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

"I already announced it in front of the reporters. Do you think it's fake?" Luke raised his brows. "I'll bring some wedding candy tomorrow for you to try." "Oh, sure..."

Luke had always not taken things seriously since he was a child, and Sydney was used to it. Hence, she shook his hand off with a straight face and walked into the office.

"Brew a pot of Earl Grey and a cup of unsweetened coffee," Luke instructed before following Sydney into the office. "Babe, let's talk about the acquisition of SweetHeart after you're done working. I searched up some information about SweetHeart..."

Sophie watched as Luke entered the office until the door closed and his voice was obscured.

She squeezed the file in her hand, her gaze darkening.

Sydney was a little out of it because she lost her virginity last night.

She could not concentrate on her work and did not hear anything Luke said. In the end, she told Luke that he was too noisy and kicked him out of the office.

Only at noon did she manage to calm down.

She had divorced Julien long ago and was single now. It was fine even if she had slept with another man.

What made Sydney confused was that she always had good alcohol tolerance. Besides, she had gone to the bathroom last night to throw up and was quite sober. How did she get drunk again? Furthermore, she had absolutely no recollection of how she met that man and went into the room with him.

Then, she thought about the number on the paper she ripped off when she was leaving in the morning. She took it out of her coat pocket and searched for that number on WhatsApp.

The other party soon accepted her friend request.

Without waiting for the man to speak, Sydney sent a message first.

[SydneyRaines: We're both adults. Last night was just a game between adults, so forget about it. It'll be better for both of us that way.]

[SydneyRaines: I transferred you 88,888 bucks.]

At that moment, Julien was still taking care of Lyra in the hospital.

Last night, he was very worried when he learned that Lyra was sent to the emergency room. It was only when he reached the hospital did he learn that Lyra was fine. She just injured her forehead and had slight fractures on her legs, so she had to be hospitalized for a period of time.

Lyra also woke up soon and took his hand. Her eyes were red, and there was a sob in her voice. "I'm scared, Julien. Can you stay with me?"

Julien could not bear to refuse, so he sent Zach and Mrs. Madden back, leaving him at the hospital himself.

Since Lyra's face was still pale in the morning, he asked Zack to bring his laptop over so he could work in the ward and take care of Lyra. At noon, his phone vibrated, and a new message popped up.

He clicked in to find that it was a message from his private number. Guessing that it was from Sydney, he switched to that number.

Julien had accepted her friend request and was still thinking about last night when Sydney sent a message and transferred money to him.

Looking at her message, the man furrowed his eyebrows, and his expression darkened.

That woman...

Suddenly, a piece of news popped up in his notifications.

Seeing that it was about Sydney, he clicked into it in a daze and saw Luke embracing her in the video. Luke clarified Sydney's scandal with Cayden Lowe and made a public announcement that he was dating Sydney, not forgetting to mock Julien in the process.

That news coupled with Sydney's drunken babbling last night made Julien annoyed.

If it were not him last night and it was another man who had come forward to help, would she have accepted that man regardless?

Lyra had just finished a video call with Mrs. Madden and was in a good mood. As she was about to ask Julien what to eat for lunch, she noticed that he seemed in a bad mood. At his grim expression, he subconsciously clenched onto the quilt.

Was it because of Sydney again?

"Julien," Lyra said softly. "I see you've been staring at your phone. Are you busy? Why don't you go back to the office first? I'll be fine alone."

Julien looked away from his phone. "I'm not busy. I'll stay in the hospital with you today."

"Okay." Lyra smiled. "What do you want to eat for lunch today?"

She pretended to order takeaway and opened her phone again but 'accidentally' clicked into a news app. When she saw the news, she exclaimed in surprise, "Julien, did you see the news? Ms. Raines is dating Luke Chase."

"Yeah, I just saw the notification."

"Ms. Raines insisted on divorcing you before, and I felt sorry for her. But now, I'm relieved." Lyra said, "Ms. Raines has found her happiness. Maybe their wedding

might be held before ours."

Julien's eyes darkened. For some reason, he said," Luke isn't suitable for her."

Lyra was stunned before quickly smiling. "What do you mean? They're childhood friends, and Mrs. Chase has always treated Sydney as her daughter-in-law. Luke also told his friends that as long as Sydney says the word, he would be willing to marry her on the spot.

"Julien, are you uncomfortable with the fact that Ms. Raines has a boyfriend?" Lyra asked carefully. Her pale face was soft and pitiful.

"No," said Julien.

It was none of his business whether Luke was suitable for Sydney or not.

Since Sydney sent a message saying to forget about last night and that she did not need him to take responsibility, he should no longer care about her.

Julien went over to the bed, touched Lyra's hair, and said in a low but warm voice, "Luke is famous for messing around with women, so I was just saying it. I married Sydney because of you, and I don't have feelings for her. You're the woman I need to love and cherish."

The man then kissed her forehead. "Be good and rest well. I don't think you want to be engaged to me in a wheelchair, right?"

Lyra immediately shook her head and muttered, "Of course not. That'll be too embarrassing! Why don't I skip lunch? I'm worried that I won't be able to put on my dress if I lie down and do nothing. What do you want to eat? I'll order it for you."

Julien tapped open his phone and quickly ordered lunch. "You have to eat. I've ordered all your favorites."

"You're doing this on purpose to fatten me up and make a fool out of me." Lyra punched the man twice, but her tone sounded coquettish and spoiled.

She leaned in the man's chest, very happy.

While Julien was asleep in the early morning, she woke up and got ready to receive the photos from the other party so she could send them to the media. Unexpectedly, not only did the other party not send he the photos, but they also returned her money.

Fortunately, that audio clip caused a great storm for Sydney.

She really had to thank Luke for it!

"Let me see what you ordered." In a very good mood, Lyra took Julien's phone. However, her smile suddenly froze when she saw the lunch he ordered.

Those were not her favorite dishes...

"Are you surprised?" Julien chuckled. "You were comatose for a few years, but I still remember your favorites from our correspondence. I know you like to eat mango, so I also ordered mango fish."

She had already burned those letters. Why did he still remember the contents of those letters? Why did he still remember that pen pal?

Lyra held back the sourness in her heart, embraced the man, and said softly, "Julien, a person's preferences and tastes will change. Starting today, just remember what I like to eat now, okay?" Julien did not think much of it and hummed in agreement.

Lyra was satisfied.

She tilted up to look at the man's thin lips. Then, she suddenly reached out to wrap her arms around him, pulled the man down, and kissed him.
