"What?" The lawyer was in a panic as a result of Julien's terrifying glare. He was unsure of what he was doing incorrectly.
"Get out!" Julien shouted before he even asked.
The lawyer's mouth twitched, but he eventually kept quiet. He realized that Julien was furious, so he nodded and went away.
Sydney removed Julien's hand, which had been covering her eyes. She pouted to show her displeasure. "Why so angry?"
At first, Julien didn't respond. He drew nearer while holding her face in his hands. "You aren't permitted to stare at other men with that kind of admiring gaze. Am I clear? You can only look at me that way!"
When Sydney identified how jealous Julien was, she understood it was because of the way she looked at that lawyer. She felt funny.
Seeing her chuckling without giving him an answer, Julien got upset and repeated, "Am I clear?"
Sydney felt Julien's hands a little tighter on her face as he asked.
"Yes, indeed." Sydney immediately nodded.
Then Julien withdrew his hands and released her.
Sydney massaged her face, which had grown a little red from being in his strong hands, and moaned, "How can you get jealous so easily? It has happened three thousand times today."
There was a brief moment of silence before Julien said, "Because I love you so much. You matter a lot to me. I didn't know that you were my true love in the past, though you were by my side. I lost you once, and I will never let that happen again. You weigh much more in my mind than anyone else. I can't stand it when you pay more attention to others than me."
Not that Julien was unaware of his jealous behavior; rather, he felt powerless over it.
Nevertheless, it wasn't worth it.
For him, Sydney was like a long-lost treasure. Any time she wasn't entirely focused on him, he couldn't bear it.
Sydney sighed. As she observed him, she knew in her mind that it was because he lacked a sense of security.
He had already lost her once, so it was reasonable that he didn't want to lose her again.
Sydney used to be frustrated with him and had lost faith in him. Therefore, he was constantly worried that she might leave him.
Sydney gave him a sigh and embraced one of his arms.
Previously, it had been she who had gotten no sense of security, but now it was him.
"Don't worry," Sydney said softly, resting her head on his shoulder. "You are the most important person in my mind. Even if I do pay attention to others, it won't be with admiration but rather with curiosity. You will always be the one person I care about the most."
But of course, if they were no longer together Sydney wouldn't care for him anymore.
There was no need for Sydney to speak it out, so she remained silent.
Or Julien would surely be upset.
With her assurance, Julien appeared better, but he continued to ask in a depressed tone, "Curiosity regarding what features of him? Why did you give him that kind of adoring gaze?"
"His track record, of course! What else can it be?" Sydney clenched his arm tighter.
She raised her head to look at Julien. "He wasn't more muscular or more attractive than you. How is it possible that I have feelings for him?"
Sydney's comments won Julien's approval. He unconsciously grinned. "Fine."
Sydney rolled her eyes in her head, yet she was amused by him.
'What a complacent guy.'
'With compliments, his joy was clearly seen on his face.'
