Sydney looked at Luke's black eyes and felt as if he could see her through. She finally stopped lying and admitted. "Alright. I admit that I'm a little angry. Do men all dislike to express their whole thoughts?"
"What do you mean?" Luke blinked.
She withdrew her hand from the lock of the car window. "When men want to say something, they always say parts of what they want to say and stop abruptly after they arouse others' curiosity."
"So you feel unhappy for such a trivial matter?" Luke felt ridiculous.
She compressed her lips and said, "I just feel that I have been tricked."
Luke looked at her and said seriously," Darling, don't you feel that you're strange recently?"
She felt confused and asked, "Why do you say so?"
Luke held the steering wheel tightly and said, "I mean your attitude towards the matters about Julien. You had been aloof towards him since you divorced him. You didn't care about him no matter what he had done. However, haven't you realized that you care much more about him and become moody recently?"
After Sydney heard that, her heart did a flip -flop. Then she looked away. "How is it possible? You must have misjudged me."
"No, I haven't. I saw that clearly. What happened just now is the evidence." He pointed at her phone and said in a deep voice, "If Julien didn't finish speaking but aroused your curiosity in the past, you wouldn't be angry but think that he was out of his mind. You didn't care about him, so you didn't feel angry. However, you become angry now. It shows that you start to care about him."
Her pupils contracted.
I care about Julien?'
'No! It’s impossible!'
'I have had no feelings for him for a long time. How can I care about him?'
Thinking of that, she took a deep breath, calmed down and said coldly, "I don't care about him at all. I may pay more attention to him recently, but it's because he saved me, so I change my attitude towards him. If I were aloof towards him like before, wouldn't I be too ungrateful?" "Julien saved you. He is your benefactor, so you shouldn't be aloof towards him, but it doesn't mean that you should care about him so much. Thus, are you taking that he is your benefactor as an excuse to cover the fact that you start to care about him?" Luke stared at her as if he wanted to see her through.
She panicked, held her phone tightly and said in a sullen voice, "Of course not."
"Is it true?" Luke narrowed his eyes.
She looked at him angrily. "Believe it or not. Don't question me as if I'm a criminal. You're not my father!"
Hearing the anger in her tone, he realized that he had gone too far. He apologized, " I'm sorry, darling. I don't mean to hurt you. I'm just worried about you. I'm worried that you will fall in love with Julien again, so I..." She frowned and asked frankly, "Why do you think that I will fall in love with Julien again?"
Luke sighed and said, "Because you have changed your attitude towards Julien recently and he saved you. He disregarded his life to save you. It's impressive and moving. You must have been moved when you saw Julien jumping down the cliff."
She opened her mouth but didn't refute.
She was impressed and moved by him at that time indeed.
Julien disregarded his life and jumped down the cliff to save her. Not everyone was able to do that. Layden and Julien all said that they loved her, but only Julien was able to do that.
Thus, how could she not be moved?
Seeing that Sydney kept silent, Luke sighed and said, "You can't deny that you're moved because Julien jumped down the cliff to save you, so I'm worried that you will fall in love with him again. You divorced him with difficulty. I don't want you to fall in love with him and get hurt again."
It was his true thoughts. He didn't want her to remarry Julien and live the suffering life like when she married Julien during the six years.
Now she had her career. She was aggressive and had energy. She was shining and looked much better.
Of course, he had his own selfish reason. He didn't want her to fall in love with Julien again because if so she would stay by Julien's side again and he would lose the chance to win her heart.
