Chapter 906 A Man Easily Moved
Sydney listened and nodded. "That's right. No matter what, you still have us by your side. We won't see you as anyone's substitute. Don't take it too hard, alright?"
She looked at him.
Her serious look sent a stream of warmth to his heart. Julien touched her cheek and said softly, "I know."
"Okay, are you still upset now?" Sydney asked, grabbing his hand that was on her cheek.
Julien shook his head. "No, not anymore. As you said, I've got you by my side."
He was sad and angry when he learned that his mother had trained him to be like Dallin.
He loved his mother after all.
Then his anger subsided, and he calmed down.
He started to reconcile himself to it since his mother had been gone for around 20 years.
It was unreasonable to dwell on the past.
Even so, anger and shame were still with him, and he put all the blame on Dallin.
Whether he knew the secret or not, Julien would not let him go.
Someone should answer for the mistake. Since his mother had passed away, the person would naturally be Dallin.
After he thought it through, his anger was greatly relieved while his agitation was contained.
Even if he didn't straighten his thinking, he couldn't stay angry. He would process his emotions.
He couldn't let Sydney worry about him. His anger would scare and unnerve her.
After all, she had been comforting him. He didn't want to let her down.
At that, Julien caressed Sydney even more gently. His hand lingered and moved along the contours of her face.
Feeling itchy, Sydney grabbed his wrist and put his hand off. "Okay, let's go to have lunch then. It's already the afternoon, and I'm starving. I suppose you're hungry too."
Julien didn't tell her if he was hungry or not. Instead, he quickly led her to the kitchen. "I'll cook for you."
"Wait." The amused woman stopped the anxious man.
Julien halted and looked back at her. "What's wrong?"
"I've got it ready." Sydney untied the apron.
Only then did Julien notice that she was wearing it.
Since he opened the door and saw her, his attention had been on her face.
Sydney took the apron off and said, "I made your favorite food. You'll like it."
"My favorite food?" Julien's eyes lit up.
Sydney hummed, "Yeah, someone is upset and could use some comfort, so I cook for him."
Julien knew that she was trying to cheer him up. She didn't want him to doubt or abandon himself after he learned the hard truth.
At that, Julien yanked Sydney into his arms and held her tightly.
Sydney's nose bumped into his solid chest. The pain caused the rims of her eyes to redden.
She didn't grunt because she knew his character. He would be worried and make a fuss about it.
To prevent that from happening, she held back.
While Julien took no notice, Sydney gently rubbed the tip of her nose, let out a breath, and put her hand down.
She was aware of the reason why he suddenly held her. He was touched that she cooked for him.
Through a hug, he tried to express his joy and excitement.
That was his way of expressing his emotions. Instead of putting it into words, he preferred more fervent and straightforward ways, like hugging and kissing.
In fact, these could better express one's feelings.
"Alright." Sydney reached out her finger and poked him at the waist, "It's just a meal, and you're welcome."
This man was always reserved, lofty, and charismatic, but that was his look in public.
When it came to private occasions, especially when he was facing her, he would smile and say honeyed words.
At the same time, he was easily touched.
It indicated that his heart was soft.
But his tenderness was only shown to her and the people he cared about. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Such a man was charming.
That might be the reason why she fell in love with him all over again.
Unaware of what was going through Sydney's mind, Julien rubbed his chin against the top of her head. "I'm grateful for every single thing you do for me."
Sydney laughed, "I'm really flattered. Alright, let's go to have lunch. Aren't you hungry?"
She patted him on the back.
Only then did he reluctantly let her go.
Grabbing his hand, Sydney walked to the kitchen. They set the table and had lunch together.
Julien enjoyed the food. The coldness that filled his eyes when he received the bad message was all gone. It relieved Sydney's anxiety.
In fact, while Julien was digesting the information in the study, she was reflecting on her decision to tell him this.
It was not good news after all.
Later, she dismissed her doubt and believed it was right to tell him.
He deserved to know the truth.
And it was better early than late. He could take necessary actions to prevent others, especially Dallin, from seizing the chance to slander him.
If Dallin was really his father's murderer, there would definitely be a war between them.
Julien would be traumatized if Dallin taunted him for it while he was in the dark.
Besides Dallin, Julien had other enemies in the business world. They would take advantage of it too.
Once he knew about it, he could wipe out all the traces the others could use to attack him.
It was for his interest.
So, she didn't think it was wrong to tell him.
"What's on your mind?" Noticing Sydney's dazed state, Julien asked with a frown.
Her eyes flickered. She came to her senses and shook her head. "Nothing. I was just thinking about the phone call with Mrs. Chase."
She was not going to tell him what she had just thought about.
It was unnecessary to bring up the matter again since he had gotten over it.
"What did you guys talk about?" Julien picked up the glass and took a sip of water.
Sydney put a piece of fish on his plate and replied, "She asked me when we would be there in the evening. People would be assigned to welcome us at the door. She also asked me what you would like to eat, so the ingredients would be prepared in advance. And..."
