"I called you, but your phone was off." Julien's eyes fell on her bag, his tone a little accusing.
He called her, and her phone was turned off.
It would be strange if he were not aggrieved in his heart.
Sydney understood the man's thoughts, and the corners of her mouth twitched. "Sorry, my phone happened to die at that time and I charged it when I got back into the car."
Julien let out a snort without speaking.
Sydney looked at him for a moment and then suddenly pulled his arm. "Are you angry?"
"No," Julien said with his head turned away.
Sydney was speechless.
He said he was not angry, but he pulled a long face.
Her phone was just out of battery, so he couldn't get in touch with her. Did he have to be so upset?
This man was getting more and more unreasonable.
Although she thought so, Sydney still coaxed Julien. She held his arm and gently shook it. "Well, it's my fault for not checking the charge before going out. I will be more careful next time, okay?"
Julien then turned his head around, but his face still looked proud. "All right."
He looked like he reluctantly forgave Sydney, which made Zach in the driver's seat unable to accept it.
How did Julien become like this?
He was like a little wife, waiting for Sydney to coax him.
Did Julien and Sydney exchange their roles by mistake?
The thought made Zach shiver.
Seeing Julien's reaction, Sydney gave a wry smile, shook her head, and said, "Enough is enough."
She poked Julien with her elbow unhappily.
Julien grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms.
Sydney let out a cry and then fell into his arms.
Julien wrapped his arms around her waist to keep her from breaking away. "Don't move."
Sydney wanted to get up and sit aside immediately, but he told her not to move.
She understood that he just did not want her to get up so that he could continue to hold her.
She decided to do as he wished.
Sydney relaxed, leaning against Julien's chest without moving.
Seeing this, Julien smiled with satisfaction.
Zach expressionlessly withdrew his gaze and then pressed a button.
The next second, the partition that separated the front seats from the back seats was rolled up.
Julien glanced at the partition in front of him, looking contented.
Julien thought, 'Good. Zach is sensible.'
Sydney wondered what Julien was thinking as she leaned against his chest, playing with the diamond buttons on his shirt. She asked, "What did you want to see me about this afternoon?"
Julien glanced down at her and whispered, "I just missed you and wanted to hear your voice."
Sydney paused for a moment as she played with the buttons. She blushed slightly and raised her eyes toward the man.
But from her angle, she couldn't see the man's full face. She only saw his well-defined jaw and sexy Adam's apple.
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down while he breathed and swallowed. Sydney had an urge to touch it.
She had never touched a man's Adam's apple, so she didn't know what it would feel like and whether it was soft or hard.
Seeing the woman in his arms suddenly quiet, Julien slightly loosened his arms around her, looked down at Sydney, and asked, "What's wrong?"
