Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 197

In any case, it was not the first time Julien and her kissed by mistake anyway.

The other time was in the kitchen of Mr. Clarke's equestrian park villa.

Thus, there was no need for her to be concerned. She would just think of it as getting bitten by a dog.

At that thought, Sydney took a deep breath and looked at the man beside her.

He already had the playing card on his lips and was waiting for her.

She clenched her fists, telling herself several times in her mind not to make a mistake again, before leaning over to press her lips against the card.

Julien's eyes darkened when he felt the warmth from the other side of the card.

However, in less than two seconds, the temperature disappeared along with the card.

Julien's eyes lowered as a feeling of loss suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

Soon, the time was up.

The manager announced the top three families, Team One, Team Three, and Team Five.

Sydney's team was Team Five.

Davey clapped his hands happily. "Mom, we got into the next round."

"Yeah." Sydney nodded in disbelief.

She thought that since they made a mistake and delayed some time, they would definitely be eliminated.

However, she could not believe that they were moving on to the next round.

When Julien saw Sydney's dumbfounded look, he found it a little cute, and a smile flashed in his eyes.' Besides Team One and Team Three, Teams Two and Four also made mistakes. They made more mistakes than us, so we’re in third place."

"How do you know?" Sydney looked at him in confusion.

Julien lowered his eyes and looked at her. "I paid attention to the progress of the other families during the game, so I saw."

So that was it.

Sydney could not help but give him a thumbs up." That's amazing."

Just the fact that he could pay attention to other opponents in such a short time was far beyond her skill.

It was no wonder that Flint Corporation came to be Port City's leading enterprise under his guidance.

"It's nothing. It's just a habit of mine." Julien's lips curled into a smile at Sydney's admiration.

Sydney thought that he was being smug when she saw him smile, and her lips tugged as she turned her head to the side.

Julien raised his brows.

What was up with her?

Did he say something wrong?

Julien frowned and thought about it. However, he could not figure out what he did to offend Sydney.

Just as he was about to ask her, the manager's voice sounded again. "Congratulations to the top three families for entering the second round of the competition. The second round is push-ups. May the three families please come to this open space."

"Let's go, Mom." Davey dropped the poker card in his hand, jumped off the sofa, and ran to the open space while pulling Sydney's hand.

As for Julien, he did not care about that bad uncle at all.

Julien would go over by himself anyway.

Sydney did not call Julien over either. Her entire focus was trying to get Davey to run slower.

Seeing the duo run away from him without calling him, Julien's handsome face fell.

'That brat must have done it on purpose.

'He's still holding a grudge for me pinching his face earlier.'

Julien snorted, stood up with his hands in his pockets, and prepared to go over.

Suddenly, he saw something and stopped.

At the spot Davey sat earlier was a small playing card.

It was the card they used in the game earlier.

Narrowing his eyes, Julien took his hand out of his pocket and reached over to pick up the card.

A very distinct mark of Sydney's lipstick was still on it.

Julien also did not know what he was thinking, but he suddenly shoved the card into his suit pocket.

Right after he did that, he heard Davey shout, "Dad, hurry up. The game is about to start."

Julien turned around with a satisfied hum.

'So what if the kid held a grudge?
