Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 141

Seeing that Julien agreed with Hunter, she secretly resented Hunter.

She knew that Hunter was deliberately digging a trap for her. Since she did not want to hike, he would insist on making her do so.

Most importantly, she had to fall into the trap, or she would really be taken as a hypocrite.

At that thought, Lyra cursed Hunter several times in her heart. However, on her face, she smiled and said," You must be joking, Mr. Cohen. I only said that the mountain was too high. I didn’t say that I wouldn't hike."

"Oh? So you still want to hike?" Hunter raised his brows to look at her.

Lyra nodded. "Of course.”

"Is that so?” Hunter laughed and said nothing more.

Julien looked at Lyra. "Lyra, you don't have to care about what Hunter said. If you don't want to hike, you

H can-

"It's okay, Julien. I can do it." Lyra raised her hand and put it in front of his lips, stopping him from talking.

Julien could only give up at her insistence.

"Gross." Sharon looked at the two and could not help

but shudder in disgust.

Sydney chuckled. "What’s gross?”

Sharon’s lips tugged. "We're here to hike, but look at those two, acting so lovey-dovey with each other. Do they think they’re in a TV drama? She even put her hands on his lips. I get goosebumps just looking at them. Don't you think that’s gross?”

Sydney glanced back at Julien and Lyra before nodding with a smile. "A little."

"Well, President Raines, let's go. Stop looking at them. It'll just hurt our eyes,” Sharon said as she took Sydney's arm.

Sydney hummed in agreement and went to the hiking entrance.

Behind them, Julien heard her conversation with Sharon, and his eyes darkened.

Gross?

Was that how Lyra and he seemed to them?

"Julien, what are you thinking about?" Lyra shook his arm.

Julien returned to his senses, and his eyes flickered." It's nothing. Let's go."

The two of them also walked up to the hiking entrance.

Since the others were not willing to walk with them, Julien and Lyra walked behind.

At first, the seven people moved slowly up the path.

However, when they were at the midway point, Jayden suddenly proposed a race to see who would reach the top of the mountain first.

When he suggested that, he even deliberately cast a provoking glance at Luke.

Luke naturally could not stand that arrogant kid and agreed to participate in the competition.

Hunter also joined in the fun.

Sharon wanted to join too. However, she was ordered by Luke to stay by Sydney’s side and protect her.

After all, he was not comfortable letting Sydney walk with Julien and Lyra.

Thus, the three men ran up the mountain in unison, leaving Sydney and Sharon, as well as Julien and Lyra, walking slowly behind.

Not long after they walked, Lyra plopped down on a large rock out of the blue, panting heavily. "Julien, I'm so tired.”

Julien also stopped and took a bottle of water from his bag. He unscrewed it and handed it to her. "Have a drink."

"Thank you, Julien." Lyra took it with a smile.

Julien took another bottle of water out and handed it to Sydney.

Although Sydney was a little surprised by his action, she refused it and said calmly, "Thanks, President Flint, but no thanks. I'm afraid if I take it, your fiance's split personality will come out and try to kill me again."

Then, she pulled Sharon and left.

As Julien watched her walk away, his thin lips pursed for a moment, and he put the bottle back.

Lyra could see that he was a little upset, and her grip around the water bottle tightened, deforming the bottle.

Was he unhappy because Sydney rejected him?

Lyra looked down, hiding the darkness in her eyes, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Julien. It's all because of me that Ms. Raines-"

Julien looked at Sydney.

She seemed tired of walking and was using one hand to hammer her calf.

Sharon sat beside her and handed her a bottle of water.

When Sydney took it, she flashed Sharon a brilliant smile.

As Julien compared it to the cold look she had when he gave her water, his eyes darkened, and he became a little annoyed. His expression sank before he

continued ahead while carrying Lyra.

Sharon looked at their backs and tilted her head in confusion. "Weird. What's President Flint angry at? Who offended him?”

"Who knows?" Sydney took a sip of water and also looked toward the front as she replied indifferently.

Seemingly aware that they were watching, Lyra twisted her head and smiled smugly at Sydney. Then, she wrapped her arms around the neck of the man under her, declaring her authority.

Before Sydney could react, Sharon laughed in anger." President Raines, that woman is provoking you. Why is she still doing that even though you don’t love President Flint anymore? Does she think you’ll be jealous of her?"

Sydney sipped her water and smiled faintly. "I don't know where she gets that superiority complex from. She thinks I still love Julien and will be jealous of her. Whatever. Let's not talk about these irrelevant people. Let's continue walking. Luke and the others are probably at the top of the mountain by now."

"Sure.” Sharon capped the bottle, put it back into her backpack, and stood up.

Sydney did the same.

The two chatted as they walked, maintaining a decent distance from Julien and Lyra.

About an hour later, they reached the top of the

mountain.

Luke’s eyes lit up when he saw Sydney. "Darling!"

He trotted over and took Sydney's backpack from her.

As for Sharon, he subconsciously ignored her.

Sharon did not need him to take her bag either. Hence, she rolled her eyes and walked toward the camping site.

Sweating, Sydney looked at Luke. "How long have you guys been here?"
