My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 1027 Do I Matter or Not

She put some vegetables on his plate.

Julien's heart melted into a puddle.

At first, he guessed that she had suddenly made so many dishes to celebrate something.

For example, it was worth celebrating that they got the parts back.

And he had intended to suggest opening a bottle of wine.

Then she told him that the feast had been prepared just to make up for him.

In her view, he had left his job to accompany her and delayed his work. She felt regretful about it and cooked so many dishes to treat him.

This feast was prepared just for him.

How could he not be touched? To express his gratitude, he itched to carry the woman back to the room for a passionate kiss.

But they hadn't eaten yet, so he could only shelve that thought.

Eating came first, and health mattered.

"I don't need to try it to know it's delicious." Julien chuckled, looking across the table at her.

Sydney rolled her eyes. "Sweet talker."

"Although I didn't taste it, I just know. I always have confidence in your cooking skills, just as you believe in my skill." Julien picked up the fork and knife.

It wasn't that he deliberately said these sweet words to please her. What he said was the truth.

Although she hadn't studied cooking systematically, her skill had been honed by the picky Velma in those years.

She was now a good cook.

"Come on, eat up!" Sydney rolled her eyes but smiled sweetly.

In his mind, her cooking skills guaranteed delicious food.

It naturally delighted her.

Sydney picked up the spoon and got another bowl of soup for Julien. "You should drink more of this soup. It's specially made for you. You're usually much busier than me and must be more tired health-wise. This soup will invigorate your body."

"Good." Julien took the bowl, his face full of tenderness. "What about you? You should also have some."

"I don't need to. I..."

"I insist." Julien pursed his lips, speaking seriously. "Since it's good stuff, you should have some too. It can't just be me who benefits."

He put down his bowl and got her one too.

Now that he presented it to her, she had to have it.

Sydney took it with amusement. "Alright."

"That's right." Julien lifted his chin, picked up the spoon, and took a sip of the soup.

It really tasted good.

"By the way," Sydney put down her spoon and looked at him as something occurred to her, "Dallin has returned the parts. Did you find him and persuade him?"

Hearing the question, Julien put down his spoon and raised his head. "Yes."

He readily admitted it.

Sydney bit her lip. "As I guessed. Except for you, no one could make it. But how did you know it was him who intercepted the parts? I didn't tell you. Did you plant moles in my company again?"

"Again?" Julien narrowed his eyes. "Who told you I had planted spies in Skylight Corporation? Or is that your own suspicion?"

Either way, this made him slightly uncomfortable. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

In the former scenario, someone might be deliberately driving a wedge between them.

The latter scenario indicated her distrust for him.

Seeing the displeasure on his face, Sydney knew that her suspicion had upset him.

It was reasonable. No one liked to be suspected.

"It was my own guess." Sydney dropped her eyes without revealing that she got the idea from Luke's words. If she did that, this man would definitely be jealous and unhappy.

It was better to conceal this point to avoid trouble.

"Why did you think I had planted moles?" Julien looked at her.

Sydney took a sip of juice. "I invited Luke out to lunch today without telling you, but you knew. I didn't tell you about Dallin's interception of the parts either, so I have reason to believe that the spies in my company leaked the information to you."

"A very reasonable analysis indeed." Julien raised his chin slightly. "But I didn't plant any spies. You told me to remove my people from Skylight Corporation. I did, and there are no more spies. As for how I knew you and Luke had lunch together and the parts were taken away, that was all a coincidence. My people have been watching Dallin and keeping me updated with his activities. That was how I found out. After that, I would, of course, pay attention to you and want to know how you would resolve this. Then I learned who you met and contacted for help. We're a couple after all. Should I pretend not to know when something happens to you? Not care?"

Meeting his penetrating eyes, Sydney moved her lips. "So that's how it is. I thought... I'm sorry for misunderstanding you. Don't be angry."

She looked at the man anxiously and guiltily.

Of her speculation and suspicion of the man, she felt ashamed.

After all, she had said before that they should trust each other, but this time, she went back on her word...

Seeing her uneasy look, Julien let out a light sigh. "I'm not angry, and I don't care if you suspect me in such matters. After all, I had a record. But there is something I'm upset about. Do you know what it is?"

Sydney shook her head.

Julien rubbed his brow and looked at her seriously. "What I'm really unhappy about is that you hide everything from me. Something so big happened, yet you refused to tell me. You prefer to bear it

alone and seek help from outsiders, not even willing to seek my help. Sydney Raines, do you know how I feel?"

He called out her name, which indicated how frustrated he was.

Sydney's face froze.

It had been a long time since he called her by her full name.

From that, she could tell that he was really upset.

During the day, Chaim and Luke had reminded her of the situation. Julien would be upset if she kept this matter from him.

She hadn't taken it seriously.

Now Julien's reaction made her fall silent.

The worst-case scenario happened, as Chaim and Luke had been worried about.

"Sorry, I..."

Sydney bit her lower lip, intending to apologize.

Julien suddenly cut her off. "I want to know if I matter in your heart."

The way he looked at her was incomparably serious.

He really doubted his position in her heart.

Sydney panicked. She clutched the fork and blurted out, "You matter, of course."

If he did not, she wouldn't have thought about cooking for him to make up for her negligence towards him recently.

His suspicion hurt her feelings.

At the same time, she asked herself if he doubted her heart because she hadn't done well enough.
