My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit novel Chapter 211

"Don't be angry. Have a seat." Finn pulled out a chair for her.

Lyra dumped her bag on the table heavily. "How can I not be angry? You could've killed Sydney today. As long as she's dead, all my problems will be gone, but you..."

"Julien was in the hospital." Finn interrupted her.

Lyra froze. "What? Julien was in the hospital?"

"Yes. He was right outside Sydney's operating room and saw me enter the room. Think about it. Since I was the one operating on Sydney, don't you think Julien would be suspicious and order an investigation if Sydney lost her life?" Finn pushed his glasses and looked at her.

Lyra bit her lip. "That's true. You couldn't kill Sydney in that circumstance, but you could've gotten rid of the child in her belly. Why didn't you do that either?"

She looked at Finn angrily.

Finn poured her a glass of water. "There's no need to rush. You have more than enough opportunities. Don't you trust me?"

"I'm just afraid that if I delay it too long, Julien will acknowledge that child and remarry Sydney." Lyra clenched her fists.

Finn's mouth curled in a mocking arc. "I think you're worrying too much. Julien isn’t like Sydney. He knows that the child in her belly is his, but he went all the way to the operating room today to wait for her operation. It's clear that he's not fond of the child either, so your fears won't come true."

"Better safe than sorry. Don't forget what I told you before. The person Julien truly loves is Sydney," Lyra said in a low voice.

Finn's eyes flashed. "Come to think of it, I've never asked you why you're so afraid of Sydney. She already divorced Julien. From the looks of it, she won't have anything to do with him again. Even if Julien loves her, he doesn't know it himself, so there's no way he'll rekindle the relationship with Sydney. What exactly are you afraid of?"

Lyra's eyes flashed with guilt when she heard those words, and she said with some displeasure, "That's none of your business."

She could not tell anyone about her taking Sydney's identity to pose as Julien's pen pal, especially to

Julien and Finn.

If she said it, there was no telling if Finn would suspect that she also impersonated his savior.

"Is that so? Since you don't want to tell me, then forget it." Finn shrugged as if he was not interested anymore.

Lyra was just about to sigh in relief when she heard him ask, "By the way, do you still remember the first

time we met?"

Lyra's eyes panicked. "Why are you suddenly asking that?"

"Nothing. I was just reminiscing." Finn picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, smiling.

Lyra was furious.

'Why is a grown man like him reminiscing for no reason?

'He's sick in the head!'

Although that was what she thought, she kept a smile on her face and opened her mouth to reply, "It's when I saved you, of course."

Finn tapped his fingers on the table and did not respond.

Lyra's heart instantly dropped. She almost could not maintain the smile on her face.

She clenched her fists, suppressing the panic inside and trying to make her voice sound natural. "Am I wrong?"

Seven years ago was the first time they met, but he very excitedly told her that he finally found her.

She said that she did not know him, but he said it was fine if she did recognize him since it was only the second time they met. In that case, the first time was definitely when his real benefactor saved him. Thus, there was no way she was wrong.

Finn suddenly smiled. "Of course, you're right. The first time we met was when you saved me."

He deliberately emphasized the words “saved me".

Lyra did not hear anything odd and was deeply relieved.

Just then, Finn continued, "Then, do you still remember where you saved me?"
