Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 882

"I was also in the wrong."

Julien suddenly unbuckled the seatbelt and turned sideways to hold Sydney, who was in the passenger seat. His chin rested on her shoulder. His voice was full of depression and self-accusation. "If I had found out that Dallin betrayed my mother, she might not have waited for him for ten years, fallen into despair when she just saw hope, and forgone her life. If she had found out about Dallin's betrayal from the beginning, she might have come out of the shadows sooner and accepted my father."

Feeling his depression and guilt, Sydney patted him on the back. "That was not your fault. You were just a child who couldn't possibly reach every aspect of the matter. Don't beat yourself up. Your mother loved you. She would not rest in peace if she learned that you blame yourself for her death. That's not something you want to see."

Julien fell silent. He held Sydney more tightly and buried his head deeper in her neck.

Sydney continued to soothe him by patting his back.

This man was always lofty and tough. Nothing seemed to be able to stump him. He was omnipotent.

When he took off his armor, he was no different from other men.

He had the same feelings as ordinary people.

He could be sad and remorseful.

He needed others' comfort and company.

The silence went on till it was broken by a tap on the window. A police officer came to remind them that they shouldn't park the car there. Only then did Julien let go of Sydney, start the car, and drive away.

His eyes on the road, Julien remained quiet on their way back to Shallow Bay. Not a word was said.

When they arrived at their destination, he parked the car in the garage, put his hands off the steering wheel, looked sideways at Sydney, and broke the silence. "You have my word. I will never become someone like Dallin."

"Huh?" Sydney paused from unbuckling the seatbelt. His words seemed to puzzle her.

Julien took her hand in his and said seriously, "My heart and soul will always belong to you. I'll never be a hypocrite like Dallin. I won't hurt you as he did to my mother. This is my promise to you."

A man should keep his word.

He should fulfill his promise.

The education he received and his faith didn't allow him to be an unfaithful man. They dictated his devotion to his life partner.

Even if they were no longer in love, he would continue to be kind to her as long as they were still living together.

He should respect her and answer for his responsibility.

Anyway, he would not stop loving Sydney.

He hated Dallin's kind.

He meant to tell Sydney that there were a lot of men like Dallin, but the good men were not few either. He was one of the good guys.

She might doubt his faith after she heard the disgusting things done by Dallin. She might be worried that he would have love affairs too. After all, he had never promised his devotion to her. He was afraid that his promise would fall into incredibility because of Dallin.

That would be frustrating.

That was why he was so anxious to tell Sydney that he was different from Dallin and that he would never become one like Dallin.

She believed him, right?

Julien's lips were pursed into a thin line. His deep eyes were somehow tinted with anxiety.
