At that moment, Jayden recalled the day before yesterday when his brother forced him to apologize to Lyra.
He clearly did not do anything wrong, but his brother thought he was at fault just because she cried a little.
The way she was acting now was almost identical to that time.
While he was deep in his thoughts, he heard Julien's voice. "What are you standing there for? Let's go!"
Jayden came to his senses and jogged over with a basketball in his arms. "Where are the reporters?"
"Julien sent them away," Lyra replied softly.
Jayden then looked at her with mixed feelings, as if he was seeing through her.
His gaze made Lyra uncomfortable, and she touched her face. "Jayden, why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?"
"No." Jayden looked away and shook his head.
Lyra smiled." I thought there was something on my face."
"Alright, let's get in the car first. More reporters might come later," Julien said while taking her by the shoulders.
Lyra nodded with a hum.
Suddenly, Jayden said, "I won't go with you guys, Julien. I'm going somewhere else."
"Where?" Julien looked at him.
Jayden's eyes flashed. "That's my secret. Anyway, I'll go back later. Bye!"
After saying that, he ran towards the road with the basketball in his arms, stopped a cab, and left.
Seeing Julien's frown, Lyra smiled. "Is Jayden going to see a girl he likes? He was reading a letter the last time I saw him."
A letter?
Julien raised his brows, recalling the letter he saw in Jayden's room the day before yesterday.
Was it a love letter?
"What are you thinking about, Julien?" Lyra gently bumped the man with her shoulder.
He returned to his senses and cleared his throat. "It's nothing. Let's go."
"Alright." Lyra smiled and answered.
When they got into the car, Julien stared straight ahead at the road and suddenly asked, "Lyra, does that thing online have anything to do with you?"
Lyra's heart clenched at those words, but on her face, she looked sad. "Of course not. Julien, do you suspect
that I did it?"
Julien pursed his thin lips. He did not admit it, but he also did not deny it. "I saw the original post online. The picture below was a screenshot of Sydney and me watching the game. You said you were watching the live broadcast."
Sydney was right about one thing - that Lyra could indeed do such a thing out of jealousy.
After all, it had happened before.
Lyra's eyes gradually grew hazy. "Julien, how could you think that about me?
"Yes, I watched the live broadcast. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that you were hurt. However, just because I watched the live broadcast doesn't mean I did it. I promised you that I wouldn't target Ms. Raines. How could I let you down? What if you don't want me anymore?"
After saying that, she turned away angrily and looked out the window to ignore him.
Julien saw her sulking out of the corner of his eye and could not bear to see her like that. He also regretted it a little.
Perhaps he was really overthinking.
"I'm sorry, Lyra. I shouldn't have doubted you."
Julien parked the car by the side of the road and unbuckled his seatbelt to go over and hug her.
Aggrieved, Lyra buried herself in the man's arms and choked. "It's okay. I know I don't have a good relationship with Ms. Raines, so it's only natural that everyone will suspect me if something happens to her. I'm used to it."
Julien’s heart ached more when he heard her, and he patted her back. "No, I won't ever suspect you again."
"Really?" Lyra raised her moist eyes to look at him.
The man nodded. "Really!"
