"We're going back." Julien ordered in a cold voice.
Zach was surprised, "We're going back? Aren’t we supposed to give the dress to Ms. Raines?"
"Do you think she still needs it?" Julien's face was half hidden in the shadows. He was looking out the window.
Zach went silent.
'Indeed, Ms. Raines is with Luke at the moment. It would be inappropriate for Mr. Flint and me to just show up.'
Zach didn't say anything else. He started the car in silence.
On the way, Julien was silent. He gave out a grim aura, which made the atmosphere in the car particularly depressing and suffocating.
Zach couldn’t stand the depression. He tugged on his tie and let out a light cough." Mr. Flint, are you concerned about what Ms. Raines and Mr. Chase were doing?"
Julien narrowed his eyes.
He was certainly concerned.
No one could stand seeing the woman he loved in the arms of another man.
As Julien didn't answer, Zach pushed his glasses upward and asked, "Mr. Flint, what would you do if Ms. Raines and Mr. Chase got together?"
Julien was dumbfounded.
What would he do if Sydney and Luke got
together?
He had never thought about this question.
Before today, he would accept the fact that the two got together. Even if it caused him immense pain, he would accept it, as he had lost the desire to live.
He wanted Sydney to be happy in the future. After all, she had a long life ahead of her.
But now that he had regained the desire to live on, he couldn't accept that Sydney was with another man.
But if Sydney did get together with another man, Julien couldn’t intervene.
If he intervened, she would definitely hate him.
Julien didn't know what he should do now.
He couldn't stand the idea of Sydney being with another man, nor could he interfere with them.
He was in a dilemma.
'This feeling was shitty!'
Seeing Julien didn’t answer, Zach sighed.
Zach had been working with Julien for twelve years as Julien's special assistant. He was literally the person who knew Julien best besides Julien's grandmother.
With one glance at Julien's expression, Zach knew what Julien was thinking.
'Looks like I'll have to find out if Ms. Raines and Mr. Chase are really together.'
If they really are together, it's very likely Mr. Flint will give up on his life again.'
'But if they're not, that's fantastic!'
At Shallow Bay, under Sydney's apartment building, Luke had been hugging Sydney for a while. Every now and then, passersby would throw a glance at them.
Some people probably thought they were lovers. Seeing the two hugging, they exclaimed something like 'what a sweet couple', which made Sydney blush with embarrassment.
Sydney didn't want the misunderstanding to go further, so she hurriedly pushed Luke away.
Luke took a few steps back before stabilizing his foot stand, and then he looked at her with very complicated eyes.
Sydney tilted her head, "Luke, what's wrong with you?"
Luke's mouth opened, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say it. He shook his head and had a bitter smile. "Nothing, it's late. Go upstairs. Get some rest." "Are you okay?" Sydney enquired.
'Luke was acting so weird today!'
Even at the moment, the expression on his face made Sydney worried.
Luke nodded, "I'm really fine. Go upstairs."
He waved his hand.
Seeing that Luke wouldn't say anything, Sydney sighed helplessly, "Okay, I'm going upstairs then. Go back home early too. Let me know when you arrive."
"All right." Luke nodded his head.
