Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 45

"Don't you have a house?” Sydney glanced at his face where his right cheek was swollen. He had probably gotten into a fight again. "Are you seeking refuge at my place after getting into a fight?”

"You're my sister-in-law."

"Ex-sister-in-law.”

"An ex-sister-in-law is still a sister-in-law!" Jayden strained his neck to the side and said, “Open the door and get me something to eat! I’m hungry!”

"If you're hungry, order takeout or eat at a store.” Sydney had no intention of opening the door and indulging him. "This is my house. If you don't leave, I'll call security to come up and kick you out."

Jayden's eyes widened as he stared at her. "It's just a meal. I’ll pay you, okay? You weren't this fierce before..."

At that proximity, Jayden could clearly see the mark on her neck.

He knew what the mark was and suddenly stopped talking before his voice raised an octave. "What the f* ck? Is that a hickey? Who did you sleep with? That pretty boy?"

Sydney immediately covered her neck with a hand.

Since she thought she was almost home, she took off the scarf and stuffed it into her bag when she was in the elevator. She did not expect to see the kid here!

Sydney was not the only resident on that floor and was worried that Jayden's voice would disturb the neighbors. She said in a low voice, "It's none of your business who I sleep with. Can you keep it down?"

Jayden became even angrier. "It is my business! You and my brother have only been divorced for a short time, but you’re already acting like this. You're too much! Are you human at all?”

Sydney sneered. "Did I say anything about Lyra living in your house even before I divorced your brother?"

"She didn't live in the same room as my brother!" Jayden said righteously. "My brother hasn't even touched her either. They know their place, unlike you.

How could you fool around right after the divorce?"

At those words, Sydney's gaze became a little odd.

She thought Julien did not touch her because of Lyra. However, he did not touch Lyra either...

Could it be that he could not do it?

Jayden was still yelling. "Why won't you let me in your house? Is it because that pretty boy is inside? Tell him to come out. I'll teach him a lesson!"

"Alright. Just shut up!" Sydney opened the door, dragged Jayden by the collar of his school uniform, and pulled him in.

Jayden entered the house and looked around, but before he could, Sydney dragged him to sit on the sofa. "I'm the only one in my house. There’s no one else, so stop looking around.”

She then took out the medicine box and applied the medicinal salve on Jayden’s red and swollen cheek.

Jayden pulled a face and snorted. "That pretty boy has amazing tastes. To think he’d want a divorced woman... Hiss! It hurts!"

He did not expect Sydney to press the cotton swab hard on his face, making him cry out in pain.

"Speak properly and stop saying ‘pretty boy'. You're just like your mother, no upbringing whatsoever!” Sydney said coldly with a warning in her eyes. "Do you want to spend a few months in juvie as well?"

Jayden knew that the classmates he fought with before were really sent to the juvenile detention center for rehabilitation. Sydney was not simply scaring him.

He shook his shoulders and lowered his head, not daring to say anything.

After Sydney treated his wound, she took a cube of soup stock from the fridge and cooked it slowly over a low fire. She made a meal with soup on the side.

As Julien ate his dinner, she asked, "Did you injure your face saving a damsel in distress again?"

"No." Jayden took two bites and murmured vaguely,"

My mom slapped me."
