Velma did not see through Julien’s gaze. She happily said, "Julien, Lyra came all the way to look for you since you refused to see her for the past two days. Even if you both fought, it's time to settle your differences and get back together. Lyra can stay the night, and you both can talk it out."
"No need." Julien's eyes were cold and calm when he rejected Velma.
Lyra widened her eyes. "Julien, what did I do wrong? Why have you been so cold to me for the past two days? Tell me, and I'll change.”
She rubbed the center of her chest as she looked at him with pleading eyes.
Old Madam Flint and Jayden also looked at Julien, wanting to know the reason.
Julien pursed his lips. "You didn't do anything wrong."
The reason was that he might have fallen out of love with her, and he did not know how to face her.
More importantly, his emotions and thoughts would be affected by her whenever she was around, causing him to do things that he could never imagine himself doing.
When Lyra regained consciousness, he could not believe that he made Sydney move out just because
Lyra said it. No matter what, Sydney was still his wife. Even if he did not love Sydney, he should not have made her move out just like that. However, that was exactly what he did.
There were also a few occasions when Lyra tried to harm Sydney. Even if it was Lyra’s alternate personality who did it, she still broke the law. Yet, Julien had never once had the intention to send her to jail.
The strangest thing was that he never thought he did anything wrong. It was only after this accident did he suddenly realize how stupid he was. Not only that, but he had basically lost his conscience, logic, and principles.
That was not him at all.
Julien gritted his teeth.
He was sure that he was not himself before the accident.
He had received an elite education since he was a child, and he would never have done something so lowly.
"Jayden, send me upstairs.” Julien lowered his head to hide the emotion on his face and instructed Jayden in a low voice.
"Okay, okay." Jayden agreed and quickly walked toward the elevator.
The elevator was installed recently for Julien's convenience after he got discharged.
"Julien..." When Lyra saw that Julien was unwilling to even spare her a glance and headed up right away, she quickly tried to follow him.
After all, she had come today to talk things out with Julien. What happened to him? Why did he refuse to see her? Why was he so cold to her?
However, she did not expect Julien to refuse her the chance to ask.
Lyra took two steps before Old Madam Flint stopped her.
"Ms. Madden, it’s late. My grandson needs his rest, so please go home."
"But aunt allowed me..."
"I'm in charge here." Old Madam Flint threw a glare at Velma.
Velma had always been scared of her mother-in-law, so the moment she saw Old Madam Flint’s gaze, she quickly lowered her head.
"Send Ms. Madden out." Old Madam Flint told the servants.
The servants came over and made a gesture for Lyra to leave. "Ms.Madden, please."
Lyra bit her lip and looked at Old Madam Flint in anger before she stomped her foot and left.
Upstairs, Jayden pushed Julien into his room. "Bro, take a good rest. I'll be outside." "Wait." Julien stopped him.
Jayden turned around. "Bro, is there anything else you need?"
"Why do you suddenly hate Lyra so much? I remember you and mom both like Lyra a lot." Julien looked at Jayden as he asked.
Jayden scratched his head. "Mom used to tell me how great Lyra was, and I thought that if such an amazing person like you like her, she must be really wonderful. That was why I liked her. However, I found out who she was later on and started hating her."
Julien remained silent.
