In the past, if not for Lyra, Jayden would not have misunderstood that Sydney was a seductress and interfered with Lyra’s relationship with his brother. Naturally, he would not have hated Sydney.
He used to have a bad temper, but he also knew how good Sydney was to him in those six years.
He hated seductresses, so he had been ignoring Sydney's kindness to him and treated Sydney coldly.
Only in this way could he remind himself at any time not to be moved by Sydney. He kept telling himself, ‘She is a seductress. She interferes with Lyra’s relationship with Julien. I can’t be moved just because she is nice to me.’
The reason why he hated seductress so much was that when he was young, he had heard some people say that his mother was a seductress who interfered with the relationship between his father and another woman.
He was very angry and also helpless because his mother was indeed a seductress.
Although his mother was not a conventional seductress, he had been ridiculed a lot of times because of his mother’s identity. Even his parents were criticized by some people, who said that his mother was uncouth and his father, the master of the Flint family, didn’t love an elegant, rich girl but loved an uncouth shrew because he wanted to change his taste.
These words were like sharp knives that plunged hard into his young heart, thus making him more rebellious and extremely inferior.
Therefore, over those six years, he treated Sydney with a bad attitude, Julien would divorce her and let her leave the Flint family.
He didn’t want his brother to be laughed at by others like his father.
However, after Sydney left, he thoroughly understood that Sydney was not a seductress at all. He finally knew that Sydney was the one that his brother had always loved and that Lyra was the seductress who pretended to be Sydney.
He regretted that he helped the real seductress to drive away Sydney. The moment he knew this, he was so guilty that he was almost out of breath.
He wanted to apologize to Sydney, but he felt shameless, and he was afraid that she would not forgive him, so he did not muster up the courage to appear in front of Sydney and say sorry to her. He even felt happy that the U17 Youth Tournament was about to begin, and then he couldn't wait to pack up and leave Port City.
He thought that he did not have to face the guilt in his heart and apologize for the time being after he left. However, he was wrong. He felt more and more guilty and thought he was despicable and shameless because he didn't say he was sorry.
During these months, he met a lot of people and experienced a lot of competition, he had grown up a lot, and his mind had matured a little bit. Finally, he had the courage to make this call.
This time, he wanted to say how sorry he was.
Thinking, Jayden on the other end of the phone clenched his fist and cheered himself up.
Sydney did not know what he was thinking. She snorted coldly. "But you can't deny what you did in the past."
Jayden was speechless, thinking, 'Yes, I am deceived, but I am the one who couldn't distinguish the truth from false claims. My behaviors toward Sydney were excessive. I really did many bad things, but I am not forced by Lyra.'
Hearing no voice, Sydney flicked her nails and uttered, "What? You admit it?"
"Hmm." Jayden nodded.
