My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 1031 Accept His Help

Julien frowned and fell silent.

After a long while, he suddenly hugged her tightly. "No wonder you haven't even shown a great deal of anxiety when the parts have been missing for three days. If my people hadn't found out that Neil had gone to ZX, I wouldn't have known that such a big thing had happened to your company. You mortgaged the Raines family's villa. Do you know what that means? That villa has special meaning to you. You..."

Seeming to know what Julien was going to say, Sydney tilted her head and looked at him with a smile. "It doesn't matter. To me, that villa is just like an ordinary house. In my heart, it doesn't have any special meaning." NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"What?" Julien was obviously stunned by her words. "No special meaning? Isn't that your home?"

Sydney smiled, "It was once my home, but it was defiled by some people who shouldn't have stayed there. The stench of those people covered the whole villa and erased the traces of my sweet home long ago. It just remains the appearance in my memory, and it can't give me the feeling of home, so it was okay to mortgage it. Out of sight, out of mind. I think if my mother knew it, she would support me."

Hearing this, Julien was relieved.

It was true that the villa, where Kaylie and her daughter had lived for twenty years, had long since lost the traces left by Leanna.

Then there was no need for Sydney to keep it.

Julien was no longer unhappy at this point, yet he asked, "So you really didn't ask Luke for help?"

Sydney rolled her eyes. "No. I have said so, and you still don't believe me? Then I'm sorry you feel that way."

She shrugged her shoulders.

Julien grabbed her shoulders. "I believe you. It's just that..."

"What else?" Sydney's mouth twitched. She felt a little upset.

Julien's thin lips moved. "You turned to Chaim for help. He's a complete outsider..."

The implication was that Sydney trusted an outsider more than she trusted Julien.

Sydney was speechless.

She thought, 'Does he have to get to the bottom of it?

'So if I'm going to cooperate with others, he will think I ask them, rather than him, for help and then throw a tantrum, right?'

Sydney held her forehead. "Who else but Chaim could I go for a loan? You?"

Julien's thin lips twitched.

As he was about to say yes, Sydney immediately said, "Impossible. At least at that time, I absolutely couldn't do that."

This time, Julien had nothing to say.

Sydney looked at him. "Besides, who said you didn't help me?"

"What do you mean?" Julien narrowed his eyes and stared at her. "Did you come to me for help with this matter?"

He didn't believe it.

Sydney didn't even talk to him about it.

How could she even think of asking him for help?

"Of course not." Sydney shook her head slightly. "I didn't come to you, but you did help me. Chaim told me with the status of Skylight and me, I couldn't convince him to meet me about the loan. He met me because you are my lover. Before agreeing to make a loan to me, he asked if we were in a stable relationship, so if not for you, I would have been unable to meet him and get the loan. Do you feel better now?"

Sydney tapped Julien's chest.

Julien was surprised and cheered up, but he pretended to be calm. "Just a little."

Sydney shook her head resignedly. "Come on. You can't hide the smugness in your eyes."

Julien touched his eyes.

He thought, 'Is it so obvious?'

Julien coughed quietly. "Don't look at me."

He covered Sydney's eyes, obviously embarrassed after being seen through.

Sydney just smiled, "Look, who said you did not help me? You've been helping me all the time. I got the dress, the loan, and the parts mainly because of your help. Even though I did not ask you for help, you always supported me."

Sydney's words made Julien overjoyed.

"But I would prefer to help you by your side until you are strong enough, rather than support you in this way." Julien rubbed Sydney's forehead with his thumb.

Sydney smiled faintly, "Then just do as you wish."

Julien's thumb suddenly paused. He looked at Sydney incredulously. "You're no longer opposed to me helping you, right?"

Sydney shook her head. "As you said, I'm weak now. If I force myself, it will only make things worse. Since I need help, why don't I accept your help? After all, you're much more important to me than outsiders."

Julien finally heard what he wanted to hear the most and gave a satisfied smile. "I'm glad that you can come around."

He thought, 'It seems that I'm eloquent. I actually convinced Sydney so quickly.'

Julien had thought that with Sydney's stubbornness, it would take a long time for her to change her mind.

He didn't expect it to be so easy.

Sydney's following words, however, made Julien's face darken.

Sydney tucked her hair behind her ear and said softly, "Actually, it is thanks to Chaim and Luke. Their persuasion made me realize if I didn't ask for your help, it would make you think a lot and make things worse."

"Chaim and Luke?" Julien frowned.

Sydney nodded and then told him everything that had happened in the hotel.

After listening, Julien calmed down, and his face softened. "I didn't expect them to say that to you. They did a good job. I will reward them."

"Reward them?" Sydney was amused. "You make it sound like you are a king who wants to reward your servants for doing something to your satisfaction."

"I'm the king of Port City." Julien lifted his chin, his face unabashedly arrogant.

Yet Sydney did not feel that he was bragging.

After all, Julien was indeed very powerful in Port City.

Julien didn't know what Sydney was thinking. He gently squeezed her hand and brought it to his lips for a kiss before continuing, "They did something to my satisfaction, so I naturally have to repay them."

Chaim and Luke helped Julien persuade Sydney, saving him a lot of effort. Julien owed them a favor.

So he should return it.

It was reasonable for Julien to say that.

Julien was surprised that Luke had tried to convince Sydney.

After all, Luke had feelings for Sydney. So logically speaking, he should want her to break up with Julien. However, Luke convinced Sydney to accept Julien's help.

Without a doubt, Luke was trying to help Sydney improve her relationship with Julien.

It seemed that Luke had really given up on Sydney.
