My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit novel Chapter 329

Cayden's lips moved but not a word came out of his mouth. He admitted it.

Sydney sat herself down on the chair." Julien told me, or else I wouldn't even know. I always thought you and I were like brother and sister, but you...”

She did not finish the sentence but it was enough to make it clear.

Layden wore a grim look at the revelation.

It was Julien who exposed him.

Nonetheless, since the secret was already out, it was better to let his sister know his true feelings. Otherwise, he would still try to come up with a way to confess to her without scaring her.

Julien was right. It's not just brother and sister between you and me and it's not family love but the love of a man and a woman. I poisoned you because I cannot accept you having some other man’s child. But..."

Layden looked at Sydney. "But what I said about not wanting the world to laugh at you is what I meant. Sydney, I know I shouldn't have done it, but I didn't mean to hurt you. The poison will only damage the baby in your belly. It won't do anything to you."

Starting from this moment, Layden no longer called Sydney "Sis" but her name, which he always wanted.

Sydney!

"You think what you did didn't hurt me?" Sydney scoffed. "You did. You hurt my heart."

She pointed at her chest and said, "What you did didn't just take the baby away from me, it's betrayal. Do you understand that? Other than Grandfather, you and Luke are the people I trusted the most in this world.

“But now, you poisoned me. If I do something that you cannot accept in the future, are you going to do the same or worse to me again?"

Cayden squinted his eyes in silence.

Sydney was deeply hurt by his silence. His silence meant that he would do it.

Cayden also noticed that his silence exposed his thoughts, which scared Sydney. Afraid, he said anxiously, "Sis, I..."

"Enough, Cay. Go out. I want to be alone." Sydney looked away.

Cayden was more anxious than ever at her cold shoulder. There was even a hint of ferocity on his face, but he was able to regain his composure and calm.

Having returned to his normal look, he said, "Okay."

He turned away and walked to the door with his head down, concealing his expression from Sydney.

The door opened. Layden walked out but he almost bumped into the person outside.

Fortunately, the person reacted fast and stepped aside.

Layden glared at the person before he walked past the man.

Finn raised a brow at Layden's figure leaving his sight. A ridiculing grin appeared on his face when he entered the ward.

“I didn't expect him to be the one who poisoned you," Finn said as he leaned on the door.

Sydney blinked nervously. "You heard everything?"

"Only what I needed to hear." Finn gestured by lifting his chin.

Sydney bitterly smiled. "Yeah, me too. I didn't expect it to be Cay."

It happened because Cayden could not tolerate her bearing some other man's child and even though the poison did not harm her body, his ruthlessness scared her.

She suddenly realized she did not know Cayden at all.

Which somehow made sense because the last time she visited Cayden at Riverdale was ten years ago. Cayden was only a teenager, fifteen years old, similar to Jayden.

People tend to mature and change over time. No one ever stayed the same. Julien changed, she changed, and now, Layden.

Moreover, she and Layden were separated for ten years. She had no idea what he had been through for the decade, so why would she understand him? She overestimated herself and thought she knew him well enough.

Looking at Sydney's disappointment, Finn pushed his glasses and said, "I may be surprised that it was Layden but after knowing it, it's kinda expected."
