Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 459

"If that were the case, we would have been late. Burton would probably have fled the country by now." Zach said in a heavy tone, his brows furrowed.

Julien nodded, "Once Burton goes abroad, it's almost impossible to find him."

It was such a vast world. Who knew which country Burton went to?

Although Julien had some power abroad, it was very limited compared to his power at home. If Burton made up his mind to hide himself, Julien could do nothing.

"Yeah." Zach sighed.

Julien rubbed his fingers. "Arrange people to keep an eye on Cayden at all times. If Cayden sends someone out of Jackal city, he might have found Burton." "Yes, Mr. Flint," Zach nodded.

Julien looked at his watch, "All right. You can leave now. Come back in the morning."

"Okay." Zach then turned to leave.

Shortly after Zach left, Julien got out of his bed. He took Sydney's bag and walked toward the companion room adjoining his ward.

Arriving at the door, Julien quietly opened it.

The lights in the room were off. He didn't turn the light on. He took out his cell phone and quietly walked in by the light of the phone screen.

Julien stopped at Sydney's bedside, put her bag on the bedside table, and looked down at Sydney who was sleeping on the bed. His eyes were filled with deep affection, but at the same time, there was a slight hint of melancholy and pity in them.

After quite a while, Julien’s legs went numb, for he had been standing for so long. He then lifted a corner of the sheet, got into bed, and lay down next to Sydney. Then he stretched out his arm, took her gently into his arms, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

The next morning, when it was just light, Julien woke up.

He inclined his head to look at the woman sleeping in his arms. His eyes were tender. He raised his hand and touched her hair. Then he gently removed her hand from his waist, got out of bed, and left the room quietly.

During the whole time, he didn't make a sound. He was as quiet as if he had never entered the room.

Sydney was awakened by a phone call two hours later.

She frowned, reached a hand out from under the sheet, and groped around the bed.

However, instead of getting her phone, she nudged her handbag off the bed.

Her handbag fell to the floor and made a crunching sound.

Sydney was startled by the sound. She instantly sobered up.

She opened her eyes and sat up. Looking around the strange room, she was confused.

'Where am I?'

But she couldn't figure it out at the moment because her phone kept ringing in her handbag, demanding her to pick it up.

Sydney rushed to get up, barefoot, bent down to pick her handbag up, and fished out her phone.

It was Luke, and Sydney answered it in a hurry, "Hello, Luke."

"Darling, where are you? You're not home?" Luke sounded anxious.

Sydney rubbed her hair and answered, "I'm sorry, Luke. I'm not home."

"You're not home!" Luke was standing in front of Sydney's apartment door. He frowned and asked, "Where have you been so early in the morning? Did you forget we were going to the countryside today?"

"No, I didn't forget, but I don't know where I am at the moment." "What? You don't know where you are?" The corner of Luke's mouth curled.

Sydney turned her head and looked around the room.

The room was small, much smaller than her room. But it was equipped with all the furniture and appliances, and they were all first-class. It didn't look like an ordinary room.

But why was Sydney here?

Sydney frowned. She couldn’t remember how she came to be in this room.

But, vaguely, she seemed to have heard Julien talking about how to do business last night. She was listening to him. Then...
