Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 38

The man wore a black woolen coat, outlining his handsome figure. However, his cold temperament and heavy gaze made it hard for people to get close to him.

When Sydney’s eyes fixed on the man’s face, her heart could not help but skip a beat, and she soon lowered her head naturally.

She did not expect his influence on her to remain so long after the divorce.

"You're here, President Flint?" Kate was angry with Sharon, but she immediately greeted Julien with a smile the second she saw him. "I heard from Lyra that you're very busy with your company. Are you here now to pick Lyra up?"

Julien hummed politely in response. When his gaze swept over to Sydney, his eyebrows furrowed. Deep down, he felt a little unhappy.

Did that woman forget her lesson from Red Plum Villa?

Half an hour ago, Hunter called him and said Lyra and Sydney were playing cards in a private room at Club Lunaris. However, he did not believe it. He knew that Sydney was bad at cards and would not be so stupid as to dare play at the same table with Lyra.

Hunter knew he did not believe him, so he took a picture and sent it. Only then did Julien drive to the clubhouse.

Julien went over to Lyra, and his tone softened when he saw her delicate expression. "Didn’t you say you were coughing this afternoon? Why are you here playing cards?"

Lyra smiled. "It was just a small cough. I'm fine. Besides, Macy is in Port City, so I want to entertain her."

Julien knew about South Lake's Graham family, and he was acquainted with Mr. Graham.

He took off his scarf and draped it over Lyra. The small action caused the women around to giggle like a child.

Kate said, "Gome on, President Flint. We all know you love Lyra, but the heating is turned on in the room so Lyra won't get cold. You're just forcing us to watch your public display of affection, huh?"

Lyra's cheeks flushed from the teasing, and she glared at Kate. "Talk nonsense again, and you can make your way out."

"Fine, fine. I won't say anything."

Sydney watched as the man draped a scarf over Lyra and took care of her. He even sat down beside her and gave her a warm drink.

Their intimate appearance stung Sydney's eyes.

She deliberately entered Lyra’s trap earlier because she wanted to punish Lyra and see her leave Julien, never to return to Port City again.

However, Julien had shown up.

When she saw the man offer all his tenderness to Lyra, Sydney had no interest in fighting anymore.

Julien glanced at Lyra’s cards and said, "Ms. Raines isn't good at playing cards, so just finish this round and forget about it. It’s not fun for you ladies to play with an amateur like her anyway. I’ll play with you instead.’’

The smile on Lyra's face froze before she agreed gently.

On the other side of the table, Kate had been looking at Sydney's cards. Seeing that Sydney was close to winning, she became afraid and was just about to tell Lyra when she saw Sydney sabotage herself and throw a card out.

Delighted, Lyra slowly showed her hand. "I win, Ms. Raines.”

"Wow, you're amazing, Lyra!” Kate said to Lyra excitedly.

"Sydney, you lost three rounds, so you have to accept it." Macy sneered. She rang the bell, called the waiter to come in, and handed over a stack of bills. “Call a tattoo artist over as soon as possible."

"Certainly. Please wait a moment."

Julien watched all that with a frown on his face. Then, he asked Lyra, "What's going on?”

"Jayden said that Ms. Raines has a tattoo of your initials on her waist..." Lyra bit her lip and said softly," It was Ms. Raines who wanted to bet with me. She said that if she lost, she would remove the tattoo on her waist."

Sharon looked at her incredulously. "Ms. Madden, you were the one who met Ms. Raines at the entrance, asked if she had a tattoo of the initials 'JF' on her waist and wanted to bet with her over cards. How dare you say now that it was Ms. Raines who wanted to bet with you? You're really unbelievable."

"Watch your words!" Since Kate had someone backing her, she had no reservations about flying off the handle at Sharon. "Lyra just doesn’t want her boyfriend's name tattooed on another woman’s body. What's wrong with that?"

"Lyra just asked if Sydney wanted to play cards. Did she put a gun to Sydney's head and force her to agree?"

"Exactly. No one forced Sydney. She agreed by herself."
