My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit novel Chapter 21

"Darling, stop looking at him. Can't you look at me instead?” Luke tried to pull Sydney's gaze back from the window. "I'm way more handsome than Cayden, okay? Unless you prefer virgins like him?"

Sydney was both angry and amused at the fact that her thoughts were interrupted, and she rolled her eyes at him. "I've always thought you were a narcissist since we were kids, but I didn’t think you'd become crazier when you grow up."

"I'm just aware of my own handsomeness!" Luke chuckled. "I'm serious. Just marry me, Darling. The Azure Heart is nothing special. I'll find a one-of-a-kind diamond ring and propose to you!"

Sydney and Luke grew up together. They often visited each other's houses and were as close as could be, so she knew that Luke was just trying to cheer her up because he realized that she was unhappy.

However, his words did indeed lift her mood, and she remembered what she neglected in the past.

Sydney opened her bag and pulled out a ring from one of the compartments. Even under the dim lighting of the car, the diamond still shone brightly.

That was her wedding ring with Julien.

As Sydney looked at the wedding ring on her hand, everything that happened tonight flew through her

mind.

Julien kneeling to propose to Lyra so dotingly and intimately, and the way he defended Lyra... Emotions started to well up in her calm heart.

Luke also saw the ring from the rearview mirror.

Instead of joking, he spoke seriously, which was rare." Darling, you know some people may look human, but they aren’t worthy of being a human. If you see each other in the future, you’ll have to go around."

"Yeah." Sydney calmed down again after a few dozen seconds. 2

She placed the ring on the center armrest and spoke with a calm voice, "Sell this ring for me too, and donate all the money to the poor in the mountain areas."

Then, she leaned back in her chair, looked at the scenery flashing outside the car window, and blanked out.

Eight years and her love affair finally came to an end. She was finally free.

At the hotel, the banquet continued as usual. The guests were lively as if nothing had happened.

Julien greeted company bosses and business partners one after another. Only after a long time was he able to catch a breather. There was a tired look between his brows.

He had just sat down to rest when Lyra came over.

"Julien, are you okay?" Lyra asked thoughtfully. She poured warm water for him and went around to massage his shoulders.

Her technique was good, but Julien was still could not get rid of feeling irritated.

He pressed Lyra's hand and said in a low voice, “You must be tired accompanying your father to greet the others all night. Come and sit down."

"Okay." Lyra smiled faintly and sat down by the man’s hand.

She peeled an orange and handed it to Julien, but he did not take it. Instead, he looked at her. "Lyra. Tell me again how the car accident happened."

The man's eyes were deep and sharp as if he could see into the hearts of others. Lyra’s hands trembled when she met his gaze, and she almost dropped the orange to the ground.

"I was in a coma in the hospital for too long, so I don't remember many things.” She forced herself to calm down and tried to remember. "I don't remember exactly how the car accident happened. All I can vaguely remember is that I was hit."

She added, "About Ms. Raines bringing people here tonight to make trouble... Julien, you won’t believe Luke’s words and think I planned the accident, right?"

Seeing Julien remaining silent, Lyra grabbed his hand and said with a tone filled with panic and grievance." You have to believe me, Julien. I don't even know Ms. Raines that well. Why would I harm her? I will never play with my life."
