Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 1029 They Just Intend to Deflate and Hurt You

Sydney looked up at Julien squarely and calmly. "Those people bully the weak and fear the strong. I was too weak, and no one could help me. I'm not from a powerful family, my parents are deceased, and my husband didn’t care about me. So, they bullied me. After I understood all the reasons, I swore I must become powerful and make myself strong. Only in this way will nobody dare to harm me. Moreover, I can’t count on others to become strong because no one is dependable except myself."

No one is dependable except myself...

Hearing these words, Julien felt somewhat dejected.

He clenched his fists and asked in a hoarse voice, "Am I also not dependable?"

Sydney looked away to avoid seeing his hurt expression. "Yes. Everyone can betray each other, even relatives, not to mention us.

“As I just said, if I turn to you every time something goes wrong, I might not be able to handle problems independently after a long time. What should I do if you abandon me in the future?"

"Who says I will abandon you?" With a dark face, Julien squeezed her chin sullenly and turned her head so that she had to look at him. "Well, you just don't trust our love, and you don’t think we can be together forever."

As Julien had read her mind, Sydney gave a sigh. She didn't dodge his eyes and faced him squarely. "Yes. I don't believe that we can be together forever. Julien, life is very long. Though we are in love now, love has a shelf life. Can we still love each other after the shelf life? How long will the shelf life of our love be? Three years, ten years? Anyway, I’ve never heard that there is a couple who can love each other in their lifetime in the world."

"Who says there is no such a couple?" Julien spoke suddenly.

Sydney got startled and stared at him blankly.

He gently caressed her forehead and softened his voice. "My grandpa passed away when I was a child, and you didn't see him. You probably don't know he and my grandma only love each other in their lifetime. So, there exists a couple who love each other for a lifetime. Though you haven’t witnessed it, you cannot deny it, can you?”

Sydney opened her mouth. "Are... are there really such a couple?"

"Certainly, if you don't believe it, you can ask my grandma about the love between her and my grandpa when you visit her next time. Then you will know that I'm not lying." Julien looked at her.

Sydney bit her lower lip, without saying anything.

Julien touched her lip lightly. "Don't bite your lip. Doesn't it ache?"

She shook her head.

Julien fondled her hair and uttered in a deepened voice, "Sydney, can you have some confidence in our love?"

"Confidence?" Sydney gazed at him.

Julien's eyes became serious. "Have some confidence that we will love each other forever. My grandparents have loved each other for a lifetime and have never quarreled with each other. They have really fulfilled the vow they made at their wedding. Why can’t we?"

She lowered her eyes, not making a reply. ‘Yes. Why can't Julien and I?’

Although Sydney’s belief was shaken, she was still not very confident.

Anyway, life was very long. One could make a promise easily because no one knew what the future would be like.

As Sydney kept silent, Julien knew that she was still uncertain whether he could love her forever. He couldn't help but sigh to himself.

However, he understood her uncertainty.

Unsure about their future, she couldn't prevail on herself to believe his promise.

"It doesn't matter." Julien hugged her, put her head against his chest, and uttered in a tender voice, "I’ll put my promise into practice. Believe me! We’ll be together forever! Now, back to the matter at hand. I only know that you don't want to rely on me to do everything because you want to grow stronger by yourself. But I don’t know that you mind others’ opinions of you. As your lover, I should have understood you earlier. I’m sorry.”

Sydney shook her head. "Don't say sorry. It’s normal that you don't know it. After all, I didn’t tell you about it."

"In the future, I’ll pay more attention to your inner feelings. I won't let you have such worries again." Julien lowered his head and kissed her. "Well, don't be sensitive about others’ opinions or be influenced by them. Don't feel embarrassed about your family background. I chose to be with you never because of your family background. Don't feel you are incapable and not worthy of me. In my heart, you are the best woman in the world. Others can’t compare with you."

Sydney was amused by his words. "What are you talking about? Others can’t compare with me? There are too many people better than me, aren't there?"

"But in my heart, you are the best one," Julien said seriously while raising her face in both hands.

Sensing his seriousness, Sydney felt her cheeks burning.

Well, she was embarrassed about his comments, but at the same time, she was secretly pleased about it.

She was going crazy. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"You see, you are so good in my heart, so you don't have to care about others’ views. I know others will keep judging you. Though I can stop them from doing so for a while, I can't stop them all the time. They will still comment as they like. But they do so because they are jealous of you, and you don't need to mind their words. The more you mind them, the more uncertain you will feel about our love. This is exactly what they want to see."

Sydney looked up abruptly.

Yes, she had never thought about it before. She only felt upset about others’ comments, and she couldn't help doubting whether she should be with Julien since she didn't come from a noble family and wasn’t capable.

Would she and Julien be happy as he was far more outstanding than her?

Was she really worthy of him?

She only agonized about this, but she had never thought that those people were jealous of her. They deliberately made those comments to deflate her, for which she would gradually alienate herself from Julien. Those people didn’t even have to take any other action.

When she broke up with Julien, those people would deride her.

They would ridicule her because she got Julien easily but ruined their love personally. If so, wasn’t she very stupid?

‘I’m really...’ Sydney gave her head a knock.

Julien was about to check her head anxiously when she took his hand.

While staring at him, Sydney relaxed her vigilance. "Sorry, I didn't think about this. I..."

"I know," Julien interrupted her. "Because you didn't think of this, you are very sensitive to others’ comments. Every person with high social status will be picked on by others. This is inevitable, and I can’t escape either. Others always insinuate that I would probably lead a worse life than ordinary people and couldn’t be powerful if I didn't belong to the Flint family and wasn’t the heir to Flint Corporation.”

Sydney opened her mouth wide in shock. "Are there people making such comments about you?"

"Certainly." Julien nodded. "They are jealous of me. But a mediocre person won't be envied, so I never stop them from criticizing me, and I don't care about it. The more I mind it, the more others think they are right. Thus, you don't need to care about those words either, let alone force yourself to live up to their expectations. They just intend to deflate and hurt you."
