Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 88

In the men's washroom, Jayden cupped a handful of cold water and splashed it on his face. Then, he looked at himself in the mirror with red eyes.

He knew that he did not play well in this competition. He did not give it his all.

It was not that he did not want to, but that he could not. When he thought that they did not come to watch him play, he felt that it was meaningless, and he naturally did not feel any passion for the game.

"Liar. They said they'd come, but they didn't keep their word!" Jayden pounded his fist on the marble beside the mirror in anger. Tears welled up in his eyes.

Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang.

Jayden took a deep breath, suppressed his inner anger, and took out his phone. "Hello?"

"Jay, the third quarter of the game is about to start. Are you ready yet?" his teammate asked.

Jayden replied somewhat listlessly, "Yeah."

"Then come back quickly."

After saying that, the teammate hung up the phone.

Jayden put his phone away and walked out.

Just as he walked out of the washroom, someone called out to him, "What are you thinking about?"

That voice!

Jayden's eyes widened as he whirled around. When he saw the man leaning against the washroom, his heart was overjoyed. "Big bro, you're here?"

Julien hummed.

Jayden sniffled, his voice a little choked. "When did you come? I thought you weren't coming."

"I promised that I'd come to the game, so of course, I'd come. I was just delayed in traffic. Sorry." Julien ruffled Jayden's hair.

Jayden took a step back and said proudly, "I'm not a kid anymore. Don't rub my hair."

Julien's lips curled slightly. "Okay, I won't. Tell me, why were you playing like that? I know that wasn't your true potential."

"It's your fault." Jayden grunted. "It's because you didn't come to see me play."

Julien raised his brows.

He thought that it was because his brother had something on his mind.

Unexpectedly, it was because of Sydney and him.

"You're playing this badly just because Sydney and I didn't come? You're too naive."

Julien's handsome face darkened slightly as he said somewhat unhappily.

Jayden retorted in dissatisfaction, "This is my first official game. I was looking forward to you guys coming... Wait, how did you know I invited Sydney?

"I remember that I didn't tell you about that. Did she...?"

His eyes lit up and the joy on his face was unconcealed.

Julien was a little amused. "Yeah, she came."

"Great!" Jayden clapped his hands.

"So, the game..."

"I know. I'll play well and win the game!" Jayden interrupted him with a firm tone.

Julien nodded in satisfaction. Then, his expression became serious again. "Good, remember what you said. Also, I hope that what happened this time is also the last time it happens. If you're so dispirited just because we didn't come next time, I advise you to listen to Mom and stop playing basketball."

"I won't." Jayden immediately puffed up his chest.

It was because this was his first game that he was so disappointed.

However, he would never do this again in the future.

"Good. Let's go. The match is about to start." Julien patted Jayden's shoulder.

"Yeah, I'll go now." Jayden waved his hand and ran off.

Julien watched until Jayden's figure was out of sight before tucking his hands in his pockets and returning to the spectator seats.

The third quarter officially began. Jayden shook off the funk he was in during the first two quarters of the game and was full of energy. He broke through the opponent's defense as if he entered the zone and soon scored.

He jumped up and waved at the audience.

The audience's enthusiasm was instantly roused and they started cheering again.

Sydney laughed. "Seems like he recovered. What did you say to him?"

She took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
