Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 139

Hunter was not at all affected by Julien. He laughed and walked towards the couch with his beer before turning on the television.

Not long after, everyone else got up and came downstairs except Sydney.

Lyra watched them greet each other but ignored Julien and her. She felt extremely uncomfortable.

She just could not understand that they were deliberately trying to exclude them.

"President Chase, is President Raines not up yet?" Sharon asked suddenly.

When Julien heard that, something flickered across his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Not yet. Darling must be tired from cooking last night. Let her sleep in," Luke answered as he opened a bottle of beer.

Sharon nodded and stopped asking.

Soon, the chef came over and informed everyone that breakfast was ready.

Everyone moved from their positions and shifted from the living room to the dining room.

Until then, Sydney still had not come down.

Luke looked at his watch and stood up from his chair."

You guys can go ahead. I'll wake my darling up." "Go, go." Hunter waved his hand, urging Luke.

Seeing that, Jayden muttered in displeasure, "Why must he be the one to go?"

When Hunter heard him, he said in amusement, "He's Sydney's boyfriend. Who else should go?"

"He doesn't deserve her," Jayden said with a gloomy expression.

Hunter's smile widened. "If he doesn't deserve it, do you? How old are you, boy? Why are you thinking about girls already?"

Jayden blushed, stood up angrily, and said in defense, "I'm not thinking about girls!"

"Since you aren't, why are you worried about who Sydney is with?"

Hunter held his head against his hand and looked at Jayden with a half-smile.

"I-I just think they're not suited for each other," Jayden replied while avoiding Hunter's gaze.

Julien, who was sitting at the table next to theirs, rubbed his coffee cup with his thumb and looked down.

He thought so too.

He already thought that Luke and Sydney were not suitable for each other when they first got together.

When Lyra saw Julien's movements from the corners of her eyes, she could already guess what he was thinking. She bit her lip as jealousy overcame her. However, she remained smiling as she said, "Jayden, you're wrong. Ms. Raines and Mr. Chase grew up together as childhood sweethearts. They know each other best, so they are naturally the most suitable for each other."

"I heard that most childhood sweethearts don’t end up together because they know each other too well," Jayden replied impatiently.

Lyra frowned and laughed. "That might be right, but it's not absolute."

"Anyway, I just think they're not suited for each other."

Jayden poked his sandwich on the plate with a fork and added, "Just like how you're not suitable for my brother."

Lyra's expression froze. She clearly did not expect Jayden to bring that up so suddenly.

Hunter and Sharon, who were at the side, instantly laughed.

They could all see how Lyra's expression switched within a second, and they just could not help it.

"Julien..." Lyra looked at the man beside her, her eyes brimming with tears.

Julien rubbed his eyebrows and scolded Jayden unhappily, "Just eat. Whether Sydney and Luke are suited for each other or not is none of your business. You shouldn't worry about it."

With that, Jayden pouted and kept quiet.

On the third floor, Luke went to Sydney's door and knocked on it softly. "Darling, are you up yet?"

In the room, Sydney's eyebrow moved, and she gradually opened her eyes.

She looked at the white ceiling and touched the blanket on her body, feeling a little dazed.

As Sydney thought of that, her lips pursed into a thin line, and a mix of emotions overcame her. She felt anger and something else...

After a while, she patted her cheek in irritation and spat out the toothpaste in her mouth. She rinsed her mouth in a hurry, returned to her room, and put on some makeup. She applied a thick foundation layer over the red mark to cover it up. Only then did she open her door and head downstairs.

"Darling, you're finally here!" When Luke saw Sydney, he quickly pulled the chair next to his.

Hunter, Jayden, and Sharon nodded at her.

Sydney smiled in embarrassment. "Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's alright. Sit down and eat!" Luke patted the chair next to his.

Sydney nodded and sat down. After picking up her knife and fork, she began eating.

In between eating, she stole a few glances at Julien as though she was looking for something.

However, Julien's expression was as cold as ever, so she could not make anything out of it.

After the meal, Hunter suddenly stood up and clapped his hands together. "Everyone, should we do some hiking today? I heard there is a viewing deck on the mountain, and the scenery there is amazing.” "Julien, let's go." Lyra hugged his arm and looked at him expectantly.

Julien did not want to see her disappointment, so he nodded and agreed.

"Okay, two people have signed up now. Anyone else?" Hunter looked at Sydney and the others.

"Darling, do you want to go?" Luke asked Sydney.

"Do you want to?" Sydney did not answer but threw the question back at him.

Luke smiled and said, "I'll go if you go, but I'll be here with you if you don't."

"Let's go, then. Since we’re here, it’ll be a pity if we miss it." Sydney gave it some thought and said.

For some reason, Julien was glad to hear that Sydney was also coming along. However, he did not show it on his face.

Jayden also raised his hand quickly. "Since Sydney is going, I'll go too."

Sharon scratched her head and said nonchalantly, ' Since all of you are going, it doesn't make sense for me to stay here alone. I'll go too."
