Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 56

After changing into Japanese bathrobes, the two of them came to the entrance of the split men's and women’s bath.

Luke glanced around and wrapped an arm around Sydney's slender waist. "Babe, how about we go soak in the mixed bath?”

Sydney smiled at him and then elbowed him.

"Ow!" Luke covered his stomach in pain. "Why'd you hit me, darling?"

Sydney gave him a side-glance. "Should I not have hit you? How could you even think of a mixed bath?"

"What's wrong with a mixed bath? We’re boyfriend and girlfriend.” Luke immediately stood up and argued.

"Fake boyfriend and girlfriend." Sydney could not be bothered with him. She put the bath towel on her shoulders, lifted the curtain with the words "women's bath", and walked in.

The women’s bath was empty and very quiet.

Sydney took off her bathrobe and wrapped herself in a white bath towel that reached her thigh. Then, she went into the personal bath.

The water temperature was very high and her body turned pink from the heat. She let out a sigh of

comfort.

Just then, the sliding door of the entrance opened and someone came in.

Sydney looked up and saw the person’s face through the white mist.

Lyra Madden.

Sydney frowned. Everything about this resort was good except for the fact that it was too small. She kept meeting people she did not want to meet at every turn.

Lyra also did not expect to see Sydney here. After a pause, she smiled softly. "Ms. Raines, we meet again.”

Sydney did not want to pay attention to her and nodded. Then, she got up to leave.

Just as she stepped out of the pool, Lyra’s voice sounded again. "Ms. Raines, why are you leaving the moment I came in? Do you dislike me that much? We used to be college classmates and even roommates in the past."

Sydney stood in the pool with a bath towel covering her chest, and said faintly mockingly, “That's funny, Ms. Madden. It was you who disliked me from the beginning. It was the same during college, and it's still the same now."

Lyra sat on the edge of another personal pool and smiled at Sydney. "Do you want to know the reason, Ms. Raines?" "Sure. I want to know what I did to you for you to treat me like this!" Sydney sat back down.

The two of them were separated by another personal pool, so they simply stared at each other from a distance.

"You know, from the moment you joined the college dorm, I had an inexplicable sense of crisis about you. I always felt that you’d steal something very important from me."

Lyra's nails dung into her palm. "Sure enough, you took advantage of my car accident and snatched Julien away when I was in a coma. How am I supposed to let you off?”

Sydney's expression remained unfazed despite hearing the hatred in Lyra's tone, and she said calmly, "Believe it or not, I didn't mean to take Julien away while you were in a coma. You said it yourself. Julien and you were like brother and sister."

It was because of that that she asked Julien for marriage.

Otherwise, with her pride, she would not have done that no matter how much she liked Julien.

"You don't have to explain that to me. You can't deny the fact that you’ve had him for six years.” Lyra bit her lip and looked at Sydney.

Sydney’s lips moved and she was just about to say something, but her phone on the side of the pool rang. The caller ID showed Luke's name.

"Hello?” "Darling, are you done soaking?"

"More or less." Sydney nodded.

Luke urged her. "Then come on out. I heard there'll be a fireworks feast later. I'll wait for you at the viewing platform."

Sydney fished the towel aside with one hand and wiped the sweat on her face. "Alright. I’ll come out after a shower."

After hanging up the phone, she got out of the pool and paused for a moment when she passed Lyra's pool. "Ms. Madden, after that conversation, I know that you'll continue trying to cause trouble for me, but it doesn't matter. I'll take on whatever you throw at me."

Then, she lifted her long legs and left.
