My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit novel Chapter 20

"Ms. Raines, don’t go too far." Lyra was exasperated, but she had to endure it. "My father has apologized to you about the video. Why can’t you just drop it? Now you want to take the necklace my boyfriend is proposing to me with?"

Sydney raised her brows and laughed. "It's only been a few days since I divorced Mr. Flint, and you’re already with him. If I didn’t know, I might think that you’ve always coveted him and can't wait to be Mrs. Flint!"

"What are you talking about? You clearly-"

"Also, Ms. Madden, I don’t plan to take anything." Sydney interrupted Lyra again before she could say a few words. "It is you who insisted on giving me a thank-you gift. I just took a fancy to this Azure Heart."

Choked speechless, Lyra bit her lip and stood there, her face growing paler and paler. She looked like a withering small, white flower.

Luke was particularly satisfied at the scene and almost applauded Sydney.

"Say something, Mr. Flint. Don't just keep silent." Luke shouted at Julien, "Is the great Julien Flint, a man who doesn't keep his word?"

Julien's eyes darkened.

After a moment of silence, he handed the jewelry box containing the Azure Heart to Sydney.

When Lyra saw this, she got anxious and pulled his sleeve. "Julien, no... This is the necklace you're going to propose to me with..."

"Today is a banquet your father specially hosted to celebrate your recovery and discharge from the hospital. Let’s not ruin it." Julien soothed her calmly." It’s just a necklace anyway. I'll get Zack to find a better one and propose to you later.”

All the guests felt envious when they heard that. "Ms. Madden is so lucky. No matter how rare the jewelry is, Mr. Flint always has a way to buy it and give it to you!"

After praising Lyra, they went back to criticizing Sydney.

Only when she heard Julien say that did Lyra's expression improve, and she nodded obediently. "I’ll listen to you."

Sydney found their conversation extremely ironic.

She had been married to Julien for six years, but he had never even bought her a single piece of clothing, much less any jewelry. Even their wedding rings were bought by her.

Seeing how he was treating Lyra now, she felt like she was living a joke.

Sydney suppressed the heartache and sadness in her heart, took the jewelry box, and showed a bright smile on her lips. "This is such precious jewelry, and Mr.

Flint is giving it away. It seems like he really dotes on you, Ms. Madden. He can't bear to see you suffer a single bit."

The woman’s enigmatic words made Julien uncomfortable, and he said faintly, "The Azure Heart is yours, and Mr. Madden has apologized to you. Stop pursuing the matter about the video, Sydney."

"Sure!” Sydney agreed readily.

She picked up a glass of red wine from the table, raised it towards Julien, and nodded. "I wish Mr. Flint and Ms. Madden a long and happy life together. May you have children soon.”

Then, she tilted her head to gulp down the wine, put down the glass, and turned to leave.

"Mr. Flint, I have to thank you too." Luke grinned. "If it weren't for your indifference, my darling wouldn't have woken up. Thank you for graciously letting my darling go. She deserves the best."

Layden picked up the clutch from the table that Sydney had forgotten to take away and said in a warm voice, "Let's go."

"Let's go!" Luke wrapped an arm around Layden's shoulders and left together. On the way out, he spat," The air here is too filthy. Another second here will make me sick!"

Julien's frown deepened as he watched them leave. An indescribable feeling of irritation welled in his heart, and it did not go away no matter what he did.

Sydney remained silent. She did not expect to have such exceptional suitors.

Sydney got into the car and closed her eyes for less than a minute before Luke and Layden came in.

"Darling, your performance earlier was wonderful.

Tsk, did you see the look on Lyra’s face? She looked like she wanted to swallow you whole." Luke got into the driver's seat and fastened his seatbelt while laughing. "It was so satisfying that I wanted to give you a round of applause!"

Layden went to the backseat and passed the clutch to Sydney. "You left it on the table and forgot to take it."
