Julien was reading a report on his tablet when he heard these words. He frowned slightly.
Lyra knew that Velma was trying to set them up and was very happy. However, her heart thumped when she saw the faint frown on the man's face.
"Julien, are you unwilling?” Lyra bit her lip and looked at the man.
Julien's thin lips moved slightly and he was just about to speak.
Velma slapped her thigh. "Of course he is! It's decided!”
"Mom!" Julien frowned deeper. "That’s not good for Lyra. We're not married yet."
Lyra's face turned pale.
Velma had already made up her mind, but he still refused.
He was not showing her any respect!
Jayden, who was leisurely eating apples on the sofa, was inexplicably happy when he saw Lyra's unpleasant expression.
"So, what if you're not married yet? You're engaged and will live in the same room sooner or later. You're just staying together earlier." Velma disagreed.
Julien looked at the woman with her head down beside him. "It's disrespectful to Lyra.” "What's disrespectful? Lyra..."
"It's okay, Aunty.” Lyra shook her head with a forced smile. "Since Julien doesn't want to, then forget it.
There are still many rooms in the mansion. I can stay in another room."
"But..." Velma was reluctant and wanted to say something.
Jayden threw away the apple core and clapped his hands. "Mom, since Lyra said to forget it, then just forget it. Besides, Julien needs to give me extra classes tonight. He doesn’t have time to accompany Lyra."
Julien glanced at his brother, his eyes flickering slightly.
"Extra classes?" Velma looked at Jayden strangely.
It was not that she looked down on her son.
However, that boy had always been unwilling to study. There was no way he was getting extra classes from his brother.
"Mom, what’s with that look in your eyes? What's wrong with me asking to be tutored?" Jayden jumped up like a cat that had its tail stepped on.
Velma pursed her lips. "I thought you were playing basketball and not going to bother taking the university entrance exam? Why are you having extra classes?"
"That’s different. Even if I don't go to university, I still have to take the general knowledge course. I'll be banned from the basketball team if my general knowledge course score is bad. Let's go, Julien.”
After saying that, Jayden pulled Julien upstairs.
Lyra looked at the two figures and her hands clenched at her sides.
In the room, Julien closed the door. "You did that on purpose, right?"
Jayden chuckled. "I did it for you. You didn't want to be with Lyra, so I helped you.”
In addition to that reason, there was also another reason.
He wanted to get back at Lyra for her behavior before dinner.
Jayden looked at his older brother. "Julien, why don’t you want to stay with Lyra?"
Julien suddenly did not know how to answer this question.
That was because even he did not know why there was an inexplicable resistance in his heart.
Even at the resort, Lyra and he stayed in the same room but slept in different beds.
"Enough. Why are you asking so much? Take out your textbook. I'll give you an extra lesson." Julien changed the topic.
Jayden’s eyes widened. "Wait, I was just using that as an excuse. You're going to give me an extra class?”
"Hurry up!" Julien looked at him coolly, his tone not to be denied.
Jayden silently took out his textbook with a crestfallen face.
The next day.
As soon as Sydney came to the company, Sophie handed her a courier envelope.
"Who is it from?" Sydney took it and looked at it. There was no sender information on it.
Sophie shook her head. "I'm not sure. The front desk said it was sent by a teenager who indicated that it was for you.”
"A teenager?" Sydney pursed her lips. Jayden's face instantly emerged in her mind.
He was the only teenager she knew.
It could not be him, right?
"I got it. You collect the documents that need to be approved today. I'll go back to the office first." Sydney clipped the envelope with her arm.
"Okay," Sophie responded.
