Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 157 The Old Madam's Disappointment

Sydney was a little surprised at Zach's appearance and was even more shocked when she heard him tell her to get in the car.

She glanced toward the back seat window. She could not see anyone inside because it was tinted, so she did not agree immediately. "Was that your call?"

"It was President Flint who told me to ask you to get in the car." Zach had to answer honestly.

Sydney's eyes instantly cooled. "I'll pass."

In the back seat of the Maybach, Julien's expression darkened when he heard her refusal.

He rolled down the car window, exposing his cold and handsome face to the air. "Get in!"

His tone left no room for argument.

Sydney met his gaze calmly. "I said no, President Flint. Did you not understand that?"

What was wrong with this man?

It was very normal for her to refuse to get into his car. After all, she had nothing to do with him. What was he getting angry for? It was so inexplicable.

Julien heard the annoyance in her tone and frowned. He wanted to tell Zach to simply drive away since she did not want to get into the car.

However, when he saw that she went red from the cold, he held back.

"What are you doing here?" Julien asked in a low voice.

Sydney could tell that he clearly wanted to leave yet was not leaving for some reason. She could not be bothered to guess his thoughts and simply answered," Waiting for a tow truck." Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Zach glanced forward. "President Flint, Ms. Raines' car seems to have broken down."

Julien raised her brows.

So, that was it.

No wonder she was squatting on the roadside.

"There was a serious car accident a mile down the freeway and hasn't been cleared yet. The tow truck won't be able to arrive anytime soon. You can either get in the car or continue to wait here until dark."

Sydney frowned.

So, there was a car accident. It was no wonder that the tow truck did not arrive after so long.

"Sorry, President Flint, but I still can't go. If I leave, my car will be left here and the consequences will only be more serious." Sydney pursed her lips.

If she was caught, there was a possibility that her driver's license would be revoked.

Hearing these words, Julien gave Zach a look.

Zach smiled bitterly and immediately understood. " Ms. Raines, get in the car. I'll handle this for you."

"You?" Sydney gave him a side-glance.

Zach nodded. "Yes. I noticed that you've already looked at your watch two to three times. You must’ve something urgent on, right?"

"..." Sydney opened her mouth and was suddenly at a loss for words.

Before the car stalled, she already called Grandma and said that she would be going over to visit. Grandma had been very happy.

If she could not go in the end, Grandma would be disappointed.

Seeing Sydney's conflicted expression, Zach continued to press her. "You should just get in the car, Ms. Raines. Don't be late."

Sydney took a breath and met Julien's dark eyes. Her red lips parted slightly. "Then I'll take you up on your offer, President Flint."

Julien hummed and rolled up the car window.

Sydney looked again at Zach, who got out of the car and said, "Wait a moment. I need to grab some things from my car."

"Sure." Zach nodded with a smile.

Sydney walked toward her car in front and lifted out the gifts she bought for Grandma. Then, she handed the car keys to Zach.

After Zach took them, she turned around and walked toward Julien's Maybach. She went around the front of the car and opened the passenger door.

However, as soon as she did, she saw that Julien had moved over to the driver's seat at some point. Sydney immediately dismissed the idea of sitting in the passenger seat. She closed the door

expressionlessly and went to pull the back seat door.

Julien looked at the closed passenger door and frowned.

Was she avoiding him?

She was not willing to sit next to him?

"Alright, President Flint, drive," Sydney placed the gifts beside her and said faintly.

Julien wanted to laugh from anger.

This woman was treating him as a driver.

From the rearview mirror, he saw her face that was turned to the window, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Sydney responded without looking back, "The subway station ahead."

Julien's expression darkened.

This woman would rather take public transport than go to her destination in his car!

Julien lowered his eyes, hiding the annoyance in them, and started the car.

Sydney looked at the scenery speeding by. No one knew what she was thinking about.

When she saw the subway station flash by, she finally turned and grabbed the back of the passenger seat, saying somewhat angrily, "President Flint, you missed it!"

"I know," Julien looked straight ahead and replied in a clear and cold voice.

Sydney bit her lip. "You did it on purpose?"

A trace of smugness that Julien himself was not aware of flashed in his eyes as he hummed. "Where are you going? You can tell me again now."

"You..." Sydney slapped the headrest in anger.

The corners of Julien's lips curled up when he saw this. "If you don't say, I'll just continue to drive forward."

"To the hospital to see Grandma," Sydney glared at him and finally answered.

Why did she never notice that this man had an obsession with ferrying people around?

He even played tricks like this when she refused to let him send her all the way. She felt speechless.

Surprise flashed in Julien's eyes at her words.

So, she was going to see Grandma.

He thought that she carried those supplements for Luke's parents.

At that thought, Julien's mood inexplicably improved.

However, Sydney was in a bad mood. She pulled a long face for the entire journey.

Finally, they arrived at the hospital.

Sydney got out of the car, not even bothering to thank Julien, and walked straight toward the hospital gate.

Julien followed her and looked at her angry back with a faint smile on his face.

Was she still mad?

He had never seen her angry back at the Flint residence. She was always so lifeless. Even when she smiled, it was always forced and full of melancholy, making him feel annoyed at the sight of it. She was nowhere as energetic as she was now.

It was clear that she was not happy with the Flint family at all. She was right to divorce.

Although he knew that the divorce was a relief to Sydney, for some reason, he did not feel relieved. Instead, he felt heavier.

This heaviness became more and more obvious as the divorce passed.

He did not even dare to think about why he was

feeling this way. His intuition told him that he could not think about it.

Once he understood the reason, his life would change beyond recognition.

At that thought, the smile on Julien's face faded and returned to its usual coldness.

The two soon came to the Old Madam's ward.

The door was open and Felicia was not around, so Sydney knocked on the door.

The Old Madam was sitting in the hospital bed reading a book when she heard a knock at the door, and she looked up.

A kind smile spread across her face when she saw Sydney. "Syd, come in!"

The Old Madam waved to Sydney.

"I'm here to see you, Grandma." Sydney lowered her hand and carried the gifts inside.

The Old Madam was just about to admonish her for bringing such things when she saw another person walking in from outside.

"Julien?" The Old Madam looked at Sydney with surprise, and then at Julien again. "Did you come here together?"

"No, I just happened to meet President Flint in the elevator, so we came up together," Sydney replied with a smile.

Julien knew that she said that because she did not want the Old Madam to overthink, lest the Old Madam entertain the thought of them remarrying.

Although there was nothing wrong with what Sydney did, Julien felt a little uncomfortable.

Was he the plague? Why was she always so eager to avoid him?

"That's right, Grandma." Julien's expression was a little bad.

The Old Madam sighed with disappointment. "Oh, I thought you two came together."

When Sydney saw the Old Madam's expression, she knew that the Old Madam never truly gave up the idea of letting Julien and her get back together. She smiled and changed the subject. "By the way, how are you now, Grandma?"
