Jayden used his long legs to dig in between the cabinet at the porch, refusing to go out. "Hey, don’t go too far. I’ve washed the dishes for you. Will you die if you let me sleep on your sofa for a night?”
Seeing that she could not move him, Sydney went to her phone instead.
When Jayden saw her dialing his brother’s number, he immediately jumped over and grabbed the phone from her. "Don't call him! Hang up!"
"If you don't leave, I'm calling your brother over." Sydney dodged left and right, not letting him take her phone.
"Sister-in-law!"
"It's useless even if you call me that a hundred times. Either you leave or I call your brother.”
When Jayden saw that the line was connected, he immediately pounced on it, snatched it from Sydney's hand, and hung up.
Caught off-guard, Sydney fell on the sofa. Although the back of the sofa was soft, her head still hurt slightly at the harsh impact.
Jayden hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief before noticing Sydney, who had been thrown on the sofa. Probably from the fall, her eyebrows were wrinkled, and the hem of her sweater was rolled upward, revealing a fair and thin waist as well as...
"JF?" Jayden had good eyesight and saw the letters tattooed on the right side of Sydney's waist.
He very quickly thought of the meaning of these letters and froze while looking at Sydney. "You... tattooed my brother's initials on your body?"
Just at that moment, the doorbell rang.
Sydney hurriedly pulled down the hem of her sweater to cover her tattoo before opening the door. She did not expect to see Julien and Lyra standing at the door.
Julien was in a black suit, while Lyra was beside him in a champagne-colored dress, her fair skin glowing beautifully.
The two of them standing together made a perfect match.
When Julien saw that Sydney's hair was slightly disheveled and her cheeks were still red, his aura grew colder, and he asked her in a low voice, "Where's Jayden?"
"How did you know that he was with me?" Sydney asked instead. "You even know where I live. Are you stalking me?"
Lyra took a step forward and said gently, "You’ve misunderstood, Ms. Raines. Julien's parents are having dinner with my parents tonight. When Julien saw that Jayden didn't come to the hotel and couldn’t reach him over the phone, he checked the location of Jayden's phone and found this place. We asked the security guard for your door number."
Sydney hummed with a brilliant grin on her lips. "I thought President Flint was obsessed with me after the divorce and had been stalking me."
The smile on Lyra's face froze, but she quickly said warmly, "We're here to pick Jayden up. Please let him know."
"Jayden Flint, your brother and sister-in-law are here," Sydney shouted into the house. "I didn't tell them. It was your brother who tracked your phone GPS and found you."
When Jayden saw his brother come, his shoulders slumped, seemingly a little abashed. He slowly trudged out with his school bag.
Just as the three were about to leave, Sydney shouted at them, "President Flint, your younger brother used my medicine and even ate two bowls of marinara pasta. Aren't you going to reimburse me?"
Jayden said angrily, "How much money would two bowls of pasta cost? How stingy can you get?"
"Pasta is expensive nowadays," said Sydney. "Besides, we have nothing to do with each other. Why should I let you eat and drink at my house for free?"
Jayden was speechless.
Julien then pulled out five bills from his wallet and handed them to Sydney with an indifferent expression. "Is this enough?"
"Yep. Thanks, President Flint. Goodbye." After taking the money, Sydney entered the house and closed the door without sparing them a second glance.
With that, the three of them took the elevator and went downstairs.
