Chapter 147 She Likes to Eat Mangoes
Chapter 147 She Likes to Eat Mangoes
Lyra was bitten by a snake during the day. However, since she woke up, he had not asked her about how she was doing, and he did not even look at her.
How could she take it?
"No." Julien sipped his soup and replied in an indifferent voice.
Lyra listened to his somewhat cold voice, and deep down, she started to feel distressed.
She bit her lower lip and forced a smile. "Are you really not in a good mood? You seem-"
"Enough. Just eat." Julien interrupted her somewhat impatiently.
Lyra's eyes instantly reddened.
The people at the next table snickered softly when they saw the scene.
Knowing that they were laughing at her, Lyra's face twisted in anger, but she could not act out. The feeling was horrible.
Soon, Julien finished his meal. He wiped his mouth gracefully, got up, and left the dining hall.
Lyra had only eaten half of the meal. However, when she saw him leave without waiting for her, she also lost her appetite, put down her fork, and went after
him.
"Julien." Lyra panted and caught up with Julien, pulling his arm. "Julien, what's wrong with you tonight?"
Julien pursed his thin lips and said nothing.
Lyra's eyes were moist as she looked at him. "Julien, did I do something wrong? Is that why you're being so cold to me? If so, can you tell me what it is? You're scaring me."
Upon hearing those words, Julien turned around." Lyra, tell me honestly. During the day, did you notice the snake long ago and deliberately startle the snake so that it would bite Sydney?"
Lyra's face shifted. "Why would you think so, Julien?"
"Sharon saw it. You were smiling when the snake lunged at Sydney. You weren't even surprised by that snake's appearance at all." Julien examined her.
Lyra's mouth opened, but she did not dare to meet his eyes and lowered her head slightly. She sobbed softly," I don't know. I really don't know."
"You don't know?" Julien frowned.
Lyra hummed. "I was talking to Ms. Raines at the creek when my vision suddenly went black. I don't know what happened afterward. I was also shocked to learn that I was bitten by a snake when I woke up. The funny thing is, I don't have any memory of how I got bitten."
"Did your second personality appear and do it?" Julien pursed his lips tightly.
Lyra shook her head. "I don't know. However, you said Sharon saw me laughing when the snake attacked Ms. Raines, so maybe my second personality really did come out."
Julien rubbed his brows. "Why would she appear at that time?"
For the past two days, Lyra had been very normal even after seeing Sydney.
Why did her second personality suddenly appear?
"I think my second personality heard what Ms. Raines said, so it..." Lyra bit her lip.
Julien's eyes narrowed. "What did she say?"
Lyra had a bitter smile on her face. "Ms. Raines said I’m a good person, which was why Jayden abandoned us and went over to their side. She also said that if this continues, you'll dump me sooner or later..."
"Sydney won't say something like that." Julien subconsciously defended Sydney.
Lyra's face twisted in anger for a moment, but she quickly schooled her expression and looked at him sadly. "Julien, do you think I'm lying?"
Julien lowered his eyes. "No, but with Sydney's character, there's no way that-" "So in your heart, you'd rather believe Ms. Raines than me?" Lyra stared at him in disbelief, looking like he had gone too far.
Julien was a little tired, but he answered patiently," It's not that I don't believe you."
"But you don't think that Ms. Raines treated me that way, right?" Lyra's voice choked.
Julien sighed. "I'm sorry. It's my fault. Maybe I think too highly of Sydney."
Lyra's second personality usually appeared when it was triggered by something.
Maybe Sydney really did say something that triggered the second personality.
Lyra was very smug to see Julien defeated by her tears again.
She hugged the man and rested her face on his chest." It's okay. I forgive you."
Julien looked down at Lyra in his arms but did not hug her back. He even had an urge to push her away.
He did not know why he had such a thought, and he could not find the answer. He could only endure it and say calmly, "Lyra, when we’re back tomorrow, I'll find a good psychiatrist for you."
"A psychiatrist?" Lyra's smile disappeared as she looked up at the man.
Julien nodded. "Your second personality is too risky and must be contained."
"But-"
"Lyra." Julien cupped her face, his gaze deep as he looked directly at her. "Your second personality has done evil more than once or twice. As long as she's around, she'll continue to try and harm Sydney. I can clean up after your second personality for a while, but I can't do it forever. Do you understand?"
Lyra's heart clenched. "Julien, you mean that if I don't cure my second personality, you'll break up with me?"
"Yes." Julien did not hesitate to admit it.
Neither he nor the Flint family would want a wicked daughter-in-law.
He had been tolerant of her because he loved her, but it was impossible for him to be tolerant forever.
At Julien’s answer, Lyra felt as if her brain had exploded.
She finally realized that even if she used her split personality as a cover to harm Sydney, it would make Julien dislike her in the long run.
Fortunately... Fortunately, it was still not too late.
"Okay. I'll cooperate with the therapy." Lyra hurriedly nodded.
Julien stroked her hair. "That's good."
Lyra smiled and lowered her eyelids to hide the gloom in her eyes.
It seemed like she had to kill Sydney as soon as possible. Only then would she not have to pretend to have a split personality and harm Sydney again, which would make Julien disgusted with her.
Most importantly, when Sydney dies, Julien would not be influenced by her anymore.
Grumble.
Lyra's stomach suddenly rumbled.
Julien looked down at her. "You're not full?"
Lyra nodded. "I was in no mood to eat after seeing you treat me so coldly just now."
Julien took her hand. "Well then, let’s go back and eat some more."
"No, I don't want to go back and face them. I'm sure they don't want to see me either." Lyra shook her head.
Julien thought of Sydney and her group's attitude towards Lyra. Suddenly, he had nothing to say.
After two seconds, he rubbed his brows. "Wait for me. I'll go get you some snacks, but you'll have to settle for it."
"Okay." Lyra smiled and agreed.
With that, Julien let go of her hand and walked back to the dining hall.
The people in the dining hall were surprised to see him come back.
"Julien, are you still hungry?" Jayden asked curiously when he saw Julien filling up a plate with snacks.
Julien put down the tongs and answered, "It's for Lyra. She isn't full."
Jayden's lips immediately tugged at those words. "Her again? Doesn't she know how to get it herself if she's not full? Why do you have to bring it to her?"
Julien could not be bothered to answer him and walked to the other side of the long table, where he saw mangoes in the fruit section and was just about to clip them.
Luke saw it and immediately stopped him. "Hold it. Those are for my darling."

Julien looked up at Sydney with a trace of surprise in his eyes. "You like to eat mangoes?"
"Is there a problem with that?" Sydney stared at him calmly, her voice cold.
Julien's thin lips twitched. "No."
Luke snorted. "My darling has loved mangoes ever since she was a kid. I specifically asked the chef to prepare these mangoes. If you want some, go talk to the chef yourself."
