My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit novel Chapter 218

Sydney heard those words and merely smiled faintly, not taking them to heart.

She had heard such words countless times already.

"Sydney, aren't you angry?" Layden frowned when he saw Sydney's smile.

She took a sip of fruit juice. "What's there to be angry about?"

"They're saying all that about you." Layden narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze over those people as if he was trying to memorize all their faces.

Sydney laughed. "If they want to talk, then let them. I can't seal their mouths. Besides, there are so many people here. How could I get angry?"

"But I'm angry." A dark light flashed in Layden's eyes before disappearing just as quickly.

'How dare these people insult Sydney? I won't let a single one of them off!'

Sydney did not know what was going on in Layden's mind and patted his shoulder. "All right, I know that you're upset on my behalf, but I'm not angry anymore, so don't take it to heart. Just let them do what they want. It's just a bunch of chatterboxes. There's no need to take it personally."

Layden smiled and nodded. "Okay, Sydney."

"I finished my juice. I'll go get another one." Sydney put the empty cup aside and went to the fruit section again.

Only Luke and Layden were left.

Luke placed his hand on Layden's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Kid, are you planning to deal with all these people?"

Layden brushed his hand aside and replied coldly," Since they dare to slander Sydney, I naturally have to give them a lesson."

"I support you, but go easy on them. If they suspect that Darling is behind this..."

"I know." Layden lowered his eyes and interrupted.

Luke patted his shoulder. "That's good. Okay, she's coming back. Act natural."

Layden hummed.

Sydney came over with a cup of mango juice and asked with a smile, "What were you two talking about? I saw from over there that you guys looked pretty serious."

"We're talking about what to get you for your birthday. " Luke laughed.

Layden played along and nodded. "Yeah. What do you want for your birthday?"

Sydney wanted to laugh. "My birthday is next year in June. It's half a year away. Isn't it a little too early for

you guys to be discussing preparing a gift for me?"

"Of course, not. Some gifts have to be custom-made in advance," Layden shook his head and replied gently.

Luke said, "Uh-huh. That's right, Darling."

"If you guys are talking about preparing a birthday gift for Sydney, I want to join." Hunter suddenly walked over and interjected.

Luke rolled his eyes. "What does my darling's birthday have anything to do with you?"

"Why not? I'm also Sydney's friend." Hunter puffed out his chest.

Luke sneered. "Let me correct you. Your friend is Julien."

"So? It's not like there’s a limit to the number of friends a person can have. Besides, Sydney and I are still partners, right?" Hunter winked at Sydney.

Luke curled his mouth and suddenly had nothing to say.

Layden narrowed his eyes. "Sis, what are you partnering with Mr. Cohen on?"

"Some very important stuff. I won't tell you the details yet," Sydney smiled and responded.

It was a feud between the Raines, Madden, and Cohen families. There was no need to tell Layden.

If she told him, it would only make him worry.

Cayden's eyes darkened when Sydney was unwilling to tell him, seemingly very disappointed.
