Sydney touched her belly, and a gentle smile gradually appeared on her face.
Julien's eyes darkened when he saw that.
'She doesn't seem to hate the child in her belly that much.
'In that case, why...'
"Mom." Julien's thoughts were interrupted by Davey.
Davey shook Sydney's arm and complained again. " Dad bullied me."
Sydney snapped back to her senses and looked at Davey. "How did Uncle... Dad bully you?"
That was close. She almost exposed them.
Fortunately, she caught it in time.
"Dad pinched my face." Davey pointed to his face and looked at Julien smugly.
Julien's expression sank.
'This little brat...'
"Let me see." Sydney did not notice the contest between the two and lowered her head to examine the little one's face seriously.
When she saw the red marks on the boy's face, she frowned. "Julien Flint, Davey is just a kid. Don't you
know how to hold back?"
She reprimanded Julien while hugging Davey with an aching heart.
It made Davey even more proud of himself, and he raised his chin provocatively at Julien.
Infuriated, Julien's lips pursed into a straight line.
The kid was really annoying.
As for Sydney, he could not believe she would question him for the boy's sake. Did she really think of herself as the boy's mother?
"Your family gets along so well." The lady from earlier piped up again before Julien could speak.
Sydney was stunned. "We get along?"
How did they look like they got along?
Julien was also puzzled.
The lady chuckled. "In a family, the son and father will always dislike each other. Then, the son will complain to the mother, and the mother will blame the father, just like what happened to you. Although it looks like a conflict, you all actually get along really well."
"I-I see." Sydney's lips twitched.
She never thought of it that way. She just could not stand to see Julien bullying a small child.
How did the lady see that as them getting along?
Julien glanced at Sydney, who was at a loss for words, and felt his mood improve considerably. He gently opened his mouth and said, "Thank you."
"No, no. I was just saying it. There's no need to thank me." The lady waved her hand.
At that moment, the manager, who was also the host, came over. "Dear parents and children, the game is about to start. Please take your seats over there."
He pointed to the five sofas marked one to five not far away.
Sydney looked down at the number five on her waist and understood that the host wanted them to sit down according to their numbers.
Julien also had a number on his waist and understood what was going on. Hence, he said to Sydney and Davey, "Let's go."
Sydney hummed and was just about to take Davey's hand.
However, Julien suddenly picked Davey up and sat him on his left arm.
"You..." Sydney was shocked.
Julien looked at her. "What?"
"Aren't you a cleanliness freak?" Sydney looked at his suit that was rubbed with a little dust from Davey's shoes and said with surprise.
Julien grinned at those words, and he asked instead," You still remember that I'm a cleanliness freak, huh?"
He thought that she had forgotten everything after the divorce.
Sydney pursed her lips and said in a considerably calm tone, "Of course. I'm not an amnesiac. Why would I forget?"
She simply did not love him anymore.
It did not mean that she would forget everything she knew of him before just because she did not love him.
Julien did not know what was going on in Sydney's mind. When she claimed that she did not forget, he felt an indescribable sense of happiness.
Then, he extended his hand toward her.
Sydney looked at his hand suspiciously. "What?"
"The other parents are holding hands." Julien reminded her.
