No matter how anxious he was, he would never be as frantic as to ask for more when she was already exhausted.
That would make him look like a pervert.
Sydney's expression softened as she saw through his thoughts. She nestled in his arms and found a warm place to rest like a baby.
Julien couldn't help but chuckle. "Alright, it's still early. Rest for a while longer."
"I can't sleep now. Wait until I feel sleepy again," Sydney said, shaking her head.
Julien tucked her up, and instead of insisting, he patted her back and said, "Then let's chat for a while."
Sydney nodded, humming, "About?"
"Anything." Julien propped his head up. "But if I have to choose, I want to know who you were talking to on the phone earlier. I heard you laughing in the hallway."
There was a hint of jealousy in his tone.
Sydney couldn't help but smile wryly.
This man was really...
But instead of hiding from him, she told him everything.
Learning it was Finn, he raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly call him?"
"To thank him, of course. Although we were both at the police station yesterday, you didn't go see Greta, so there is something you don't know." Sydney yawned and retold what had happened.
Julien heard her out and realized the situation.
"So, Dr. James helped me vent my anger, and I can't pretend I didn't know." Sydney put her hand on Julien's firm chest.
Julien didn't say anything.
Finn did help, and they couldn't ignore it.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Julien asked, lowering his head.
Sydney's eyes became hazy, not as clear as before.
Evidently, drowsiness was starting to overcome her once more.
Julien was amused.
She had just said that she couldn't sleep.
But it didn't take long for sleepiness to hit her again.
He gently stroked her hair.
Sydney reached out her hand from under the blanket, rubbed her eyes, and said softly, "I forgot until Zach came and wanted to talk to you. Then I called Dr. James to thank him. I wanted to treat him to a meal, but you know what? He doesn't eat normal food."
