Very quickly, the joy in Julien's heart was crushed by Hunter's following words.
Hunter crossed his arms. "I'm planning to pursue Sydney. What do you think, Julien?"
Julien’s face darkened.
What did he think?
He did not feel great at all.
However, Julien would never say it out loud. He lowered his gaze and said, "Go ahead if you want to. Why are you asking me?"
Hunter saw right through Julien. He saw how Julien wanted to stop him but was suppressing himself.
Something flashed across Hunter's eyes. "Of course, I need to let you know first."
"Let me know?" Julien pursed his lips.
Hunter nodded. "Yes. No matter what, Sydney is your ex-wife. I'll have to let you know. If we get together someday, at least you won't be too surprised."
Julien snorted. "Why are you so sure that you both will be together?"
"Hard work will always pay off. I'm sure that if I put in enough effort, I'll move Sydney's heart and she’ll say yes. If that happens, will you give us your blessing?"
Hunter stared at Julien.
Julien wanted to say that he would.
However, when the words reached his words, nothing came through.
Hunter was not surprised.
He knew that Julien had Sydney in his heart. It would be weird if he could give them his bleeding.
Hunter put his hands into his pocket. "Since I’ve already said what I wanted, and you have no objections, then I hope that you won't try to stop me in the future.”
"I won't. This is between you and Sydney, and has nothing to do with me," Julien had a cold expression as he said in indifference.
Hunter smiled. "That’s right. Julien, you better remember your words today. If you stop us in the future, I might stop taking you as a friend. I think I've spoken enough. Go back to your fiancee, Julien. I'll have to visit a relationship advisor to learn about how to pursue girls. Bye!"
Hunter waved and got into his car.
He told Julien these because he wanted to break the connection between Julien and Sydney before Julien realized that he had feelings for her.
By doing so, even if Julien realized that he loved Sydney later on, it would be too late. Julien would not stop Hunter and Sydney from getting together
because of his words today.
As Hunter thought about this, he smiled at Julien meaningfully and drove away.
Julien remained where he was as he stared toward the direction where Hunter drove off. His eyes were cold and his fists were clenched tight. His aura was frighteningly chilly.
Hunter fell in love with Sydney and even announced that he wanted to pursue her. Just two months ago, Hunter had no feelings for Sydney at all and did not even interact with her that much.
It was him!
Julien's pupils constricted.
He was the one who introduced Hunter to Sydney, and that was how they got to know each other. It was also how Hunter gradually began to fall for Sydney.
Julien felt a sudden disdain spreading over his chest, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
Lyra came to him and asked, "Julien, what are you looking at?"
Julien lowered his gaze. "Nothing."
"Mr. Cohen left?" Lyra asked again.
Julien nodded and said nothing else.
Lyra shook his arm. "Julien, what did Mr. Cohen say to you? You look upset.”
"I look upset?” Julien stared back at her.
Lyra nodded. "Yes. You look upset. As though someone just took something from you.”
Julien was stunned.
He was talking to Hunter about Sydney, and to be specific, Hunter fell in love with Sydney. Was he upset because of this?
