Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 33 Is Your Tattoo My Brother's Initials?

Jayden used his long legs to dig in between the cabinet at the porch, refusing to go out. "Hey, don’t go too far. I’ve washed the dishes for you. Will you die if you let me sleep on your sofa for a night?”

Seeing that she could not move him, Sydney went to her phone instead.

When Jayden saw her dialing his brother’s number, he immediately jumped over and grabbed the phone from her. "Don't call him! Hang up!"

"If you don't leave, I'm calling your brother over." Sydney dodged left and right, not letting him take her phone.

"Sister-in-law!"

"It's useless even if you call me that a hundred times. Either you leave or I call your brother.”

When Jayden saw that the line was connected, he immediately pounced on it, snatched it from Sydney's hand, and hung up.

Caught off-guard, Sydney fell on the sofa. Although the back of the sofa was soft, her head still hurt slightly at the harsh impact.

Jayden hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief before noticing Sydney, who had been thrown on the sofa. Probably from the fall, her eyebrows were wrinkled, and the hem of her sweater was rolled upward, revealing a fair and thin waist as well as...

"JF?" Jayden had good eyesight and saw the letters tattooed on the right side of Sydney's waist.

He very quickly thought of the meaning of these letters and froze while looking at Sydney. "You... tattooed my brother's initials on your body?"

Just at that moment, the doorbell rang.

Sydney hurriedly pulled down the hem of her sweater to cover her tattoo before opening the door. She did not expect to see Julien and Lyra standing at the door.

Julien was in a black suit, while Lyra was beside him in a champagne-colored dress, her fair skin glowing beautifully.

The two of them standing together made a perfect match.

When Julien saw that Sydney's hair was slightly disheveled and her cheeks were still red, his aura grew colder, and he asked her in a low voice, "Where's Jayden?"

"How did you know that he was with me?" Sydney asked instead. "You even know where I live. Are you stalking me?" Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Lyra took a step forward and said gently, "You’ve misunderstood, Ms. Raines. Julien's parents are having dinner with my parents tonight. When Julien saw that Jayden didn't come to the hotel and couldn’t reach him over the phone, he checked the location of Jayden's phone and found this place. We asked the security guard for your door number."

Sydney hummed with a brilliant grin on her lips. "I thought President Flint was obsessed with me after the divorce and had been stalking me."

The smile on Lyra's face froze, but she quickly said warmly, "We're here to pick Jayden up. Please let him know."

"Jayden Flint, your brother and sister-in-law are here," Sydney shouted into the house. "I didn't tell them. It was your brother who tracked your phone GPS and found you."

When Jayden saw his brother come, his shoulders slumped, seemingly a little abashed. He slowly trudged out with his school bag.

Just as the three were about to leave, Sydney shouted at them, "President Flint, your younger brother used my medicine and even ate two bowls of marinara pasta. Aren't you going to reimburse me?"

Jayden said angrily, "How much money would two bowls of pasta cost? How stingy can you get?"

"Pasta is expensive nowadays," said Sydney. "Besides, we have nothing to do with each other. Why should I let you eat and drink at my house for free?"

Jayden was speechless.

Julien then pulled out five bills from his wallet and handed them to Sydney with an indifferent expression. "Is this enough?"

"Yep. Thanks, President Flint. Goodbye." After taking the money, Sydney entered the house and closed the door without sparing them a second glance.

With that, the three of them took the elevator and went downstairs.

It was only after getting into the car did Julien ask Jayden, "Why did you come to Sydney’s place instead of going to the hotel? Also, how did you get that wound on your face?"

Jayden was very timid in front of his brother, so he immediately answered the questions honestly. "I got into a fight with my classmates. I knew that you were having dinner with Lyra's parents today, and I figured it wouldn't be good if I went over looking like this. So, I told sis-... Sydney to bail me out and had dinner at her house."

Lyra pinched Jayden's hand fiercely when he almost called Sydney 'sister-in-law'.

Then, she took the medical kit in the car and helped Jayden treat the wound again. Her action was gentle, and her words were also warm. “Jayden, next time, call your brother or me if something happens. We're a family. You don't have to worry about bothering us.

"Ms. Raines has a boyfriend, so it won't be good for you to keep bothering her. Her boyfriend will not be happy with it."

Jayden thought about the way Sydney teased him when he was eating and looked a little uncomfortable. "It seems like she’s living alone. She's not living with that pretty boy."

Julien glanced at him through the rearview mirror. For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of relief at Jayden’s words.

"Maybe they have another place together.” Lyra smiled gently. "I've disinfected the wound. Does it still hurt?"

"Nope. Thanks, Lyra." Jayden grinned, thinking that Lyra was really warm and gentle. She was much better than Sydney!

Lyra closed the medicine kit and put it away before intentionally saying to Julien, "Julien, I heard you told Zach to handle the news within the industry? It’s just a small matter, but I didn’t expect that Skylight's employees would record videos and spread them around. It smeared your mother’s reputation and even dragged you into it."

"What do you mean, Lyra? Do you suspect that Sydney told her employees to record the video?" Jayden asked in confusion.

"That's not what I meant," Lyra hurriedly said. "I just thought that Sydney should have known about this early on. If she had stopped her employees, the video wouldn’t have spread so fast amongst the staff."

"There are many employees in Skylight. Even if she warned them, there would be troublemaker employees uploading it anyway." Jayden pouted. "Besides, it’s Mom's fault. Julien already divorced Sydney, yet she still went to Skylight and kicked up a fuss over a small matter."

Although Jayden did not like Sydney, he had lived under the same roof as her for six years. As such, he knew that she would not do nasty things like that.

Besides, it was Velma who went to Skylight. Sydney did not pick a fight with her.

Lyra was in disbelief.

Jayden hated Sydney. Why was he speaking up for her now?

"Why are you looking at me like that, Lyra?” Seeing that Lyra was staring at him, Jayden raised his hand to touch his face. Then, he accidentally touched the disinfected wound and grimaced again. "Does it look that bad?"

Lyra immediately returned to her senses and smiled softly. "Just a little. I was thinking that you'd definitely be stared at by your classmates when you go to school tomorrow."

Jayden pulled a face. He wanted to say that he would just skip school. However, the person driving the car now was his brother. If he dared to say he was not going to school, he might not even be able to enter the house tomorrow. In the end, he did not dare to speak up.

The car soon arrived at Flint residence.

When Velma saw that Lyra had not gone home, she took Lyra's hand affectionately and said, "Oh, Lyra, it must have been hard on you to find Jay with Julien. Since it's late, you should sleep here. Besides, you've moved in already anyway."

Lyra also wanted to stay, but she glanced at Julien. The man did not say anything, so she pursed her lips and said softly, "Okay. Thank you, Aunty."

"We’re a family. There's no need to be so formal!" Velma was overjoyed that Lyra was staying the night.

Julien took a shower but did not rush to go to sleep as he had to handle some paperwork.

He pulled the drawer to get ink but opened the wrong drawer instead. At the bottom of the drawer, he saw a neat stack of yellowed envelopes.

The man’s eyes subconsciously softened at the sight of those letters.

He met this pen pal named ‘Maple Leaf' unexpectedly, and they slowly got to know each other. After many exchanges, they found out that they got along very well.

The first time his heart was moved was by the person he communicated with through pen and paper.

Never in a million years would he think that the person on the other end of the letter would be Lyra Madden.
