Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 676

"Then? "Sydney clenched her hands into fists.

So, the Azure Heart wasn't meant for Lyra at all.

It was meant for Sydney from the very beginning.

"After buying it, I suddenly realized that I did not know how to give it to you." Julien looked right into Sydney's eyes. "At that time, we were already divorced, so no matter what identity I used or what ideas I came up with, it was simply inappropriate for me to give you the Azure Heart. So, I decided not to give it in the end. I just kept it. However, I never thought that someone would leak the news of me buying the Azure Heart and even spread rumors that I bought it as an engagement gift for Lyra." "However, you didn't try to explain it, did you?" Sydney bit her lip as she was a little upset.

How could she not be?

Since it wasn't an engagement gift for Lyra, then why wouldn't he come out to explain the misunderstanding? Why would he have remained silent?

To be honest, Sydney wasn't quite comfortable with that thought.

Julien smoothed Sydney's hair and chuckled. "Sorry. It was my fault, but I had my own reasons too."

"What kind of reasons?" Sydney glared at him. She acted like she would fight with him if he didn't give her a satisfactory explanation.

He parted his thin lips and replied, "I didn't know of the rumor at first. You know that I don't follow news like this often. I only knew of it when Zach told me about it in the end. I was going to clear up the misunderstanding, but something happened at that moment."

"Lyra accused me of running into her?" She could immediately guess what he was referring to.

After all, that was the biggest event that happened at the time.

Julien nodded. "That's right. The Maddens had spread the rumors that you crashed into Lyra, which turned public opinion against you. The people I sent to watch you told me that you were exasperated, so you worked with Luke and Layden to find the surveillance camera footage of Lyra's accident to prove your innocence. It was at that moment when I realized that I had wrongly accused you and that the Maddens had deceived me. You didn’t hit Lyra with your car. I'm sorry."

He placed his hand behind Sydney's head to press it against his chest as he apologized in a regretful tone.

In their six years of marriage, the reason why he was cold to her was not only because he felt that he didn't love her. The main reason was that he thought she had crashed into Lyra.

When Julien learned that Sydney was searching for the surveillance camera footage with Luke and the others, he finally realized that he had been in the wrong.

As Sydney listened to Julien apologizing for his earlier accusation, she felt a bitter feeling well up in her chest.

She felt wronged by his misunderstanding of her for so many years. Meanwhile, she felt relieved by his apology.

She realized then that she had always been bothered by his misunderstanding of her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so emotional when she heard his apology.

Julien could feel Sydney trembling in his arms, so he held her closer and apologized again. "I'm sorry, Sydney. I'm really sorry."

Sydney shook her head in his arms as her voice quivered. "It's okay. You made up for it, didn't you? The reason why we could find the surveillance camera footage so easily was that you helped us, right?"

She looked up at him.

There was an apparent change in Julien's expression.

When she saw that, Sydney knew she was correct and leaned her head against Julien's chest." At first, I thought that Luke, Layden, and I found the surveillance video of that year too smoothly, so I wondered if someone was secretly helping us. After all, only the traffic control department has the surveillance video of the car accident that year. It had already been six years, so the department should've already sealed those surveillance videos. Given our social status, we are not powerful enough to ask the traffic control department to search the surveillance videos."

Sydney patted his chest. "Seeing how you have helped me after realizing that you had wrongly accused me, I forgive you for the six years of misunderstanding me."

After saying that, she bit his chest under his clothes.

It was a small bite, so he wouldn't have felt any pain.

However, Julien still pretended to feel pain

and grunted.

Hearing his grunt, Sydney hurriedly released her grip and rubbed the spot she had bitten moments earlier. "Did it hurt, Julien?"

Julien took her hand and squeezed it. "No, I was just joking."

She slapped his hand away in exasperation. "Get lost."

He gave a low chuckle before he placed his hands back on her waist.

Sydney looked at him. "You still haven’t told me the whole story about the Azure Heart.”

"So, the person whom I sent to keep an eye on you told me that you were trying to locate the surveillance camera footage of the accident with Luke and the others. After you found it, you would cause an uproar at the banquet celebrating Lyra's recovery. You wanted to reveal their cunning plot to shift the blame, and you also wanted to humiliate the Maddens and Lyra at the banquet. When someone spread that I bought the Azure Heart for Lyra, the Maddens never doubted it and even thought that the Azure Heart was indeed my gift for her. So, the Maddens didn't suppress the rumors and added fuel to the fire instead. You thought that if you stole the Azure Heart during the banquet, the Maddens and Lyra would be terribly ashamed..."

Hearing that, Sydney finally understood everything as she gaped in shock. "So, you just went along with it and didn't clear the misunderstanding on purpose. You felt that I would come to steal it if you allowed the rumors to spread?"
