Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 1029

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.
