Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 45 An Ex-Sister-In-Law Is Still a Sister-In-Law!

"Don't you have a house?” Sydney glanced at his face where his right cheek was swollen. He had probably gotten into a fight again. "Are you seeking refuge at my place after getting into a fight?”

"You're my sister-in-law."

"Ex-sister-in-law.”

"An ex-sister-in-law is still a sister-in-law!" Jayden strained his neck to the side and said, “Open the door and get me something to eat! I’m hungry!”

"If you're hungry, order takeout or eat at a store.” Sydney had no intention of opening the door and indulging him. "This is my house. If you don't leave, I'll call security to come up and kick you out."

Jayden's eyes widened as he stared at her. "It's just a meal. I’ll pay you, okay? You weren't this fierce before..."

At that proximity, Jayden could clearly see the mark on her neck.

He knew what the mark was and suddenly stopped talking before his voice raised an octave. "What the f* ck? Is that a hickey? Who did you sleep with? That pretty boy?"

Sydney immediately covered her neck with a hand.

Since she thought she was almost home, she took off the scarf and stuffed it into her bag when she was in the elevator. She did not expect to see the kid here!

Sydney was not the only resident on that floor and was worried that Jayden's voice would disturb the neighbors. She said in a low voice, "It's none of your business who I sleep with. Can you keep it down?"

Jayden became even angrier. "It is my business! You and my brother have only been divorced for a short time, but you’re already acting like this. You're too much! Are you human at all?”

Sydney sneered. "Did I say anything about Lyra living in your house even before I divorced your brother?"

"She didn't live in the same room as my brother!" Jayden said righteously. "My brother hasn't even touched her either. They know their place, unlike you.

How could you fool around right after the divorce?"

At those words, Sydney's gaze became a little odd.

She thought Julien did not touch her because of Lyra. However, he did not touch Lyra either...

Could it be that he could not do it?

Jayden was still yelling. "Why won't you let me in your house? Is it because that pretty boy is inside? Tell him to come out. I'll teach him a lesson!"

"Alright. Just shut up!" Sydney opened the door, dragged Jayden by the collar of his school uniform, and pulled him in.

Jayden entered the house and looked around, but before he could, Sydney dragged him to sit on the sofa. "I'm the only one in my house. There’s no one else, so stop looking around.”

She then took out the medicine box and applied the medicinal salve on Jayden’s red and swollen cheek.

Jayden pulled a face and snorted. "That pretty boy has amazing tastes. To think he’d want a divorced woman... Hiss! It hurts!"

He did not expect Sydney to press the cotton swab hard on his face, making him cry out in pain.

"Speak properly and stop saying ‘pretty boy'. You're just like your mother, no upbringing whatsoever!” Sydney said coldly with a warning in her eyes. "Do you want to spend a few months in juvie as well?"

Jayden knew that the classmates he fought with before were really sent to the juvenile detention center for rehabilitation. Sydney was not simply scaring him. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

He shook his shoulders and lowered his head, not daring to say anything.

After Sydney treated his wound, she took a cube of soup stock from the fridge and cooked it slowly over a low fire. She made a meal with soup on the side.

As Julien ate his dinner, she asked, "Did you injure your face saving a damsel in distress again?"

"No." Jayden took two bites and murmured vaguely,"

My mom slapped me."

Sydney was stunned.

She had been in the Flint residence for six years and knew how much Velma loved Jayden. Velma gave him anything and everything he wanted, and Sydney had never seen Velma raise her voice or hit Jayden before.

Sydney ate a slice of apple and asked, "Aren't you your mom’s baby boy? Why did she slap you?”

Jayden pouted. "She told me not to go out and fool around all the time. She said I have to learn from my brother and join Flint Corporation early, but I'm not interested in running a company. What's wrong with playing basketball? I argued with her, and she got angry, so she slapped me..."

Sydney tried imagining the scene of Velma becoming furious and slapping Jayden. She could not help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Jayden glared at her.

"Didn't you also gloat when your mother used to teach me a lesson?” Sydney said, "I never thought the day would come when your mother slapped you. Am I supposed to take pity on you?"

Jayden was speechless.

After eating, Jayden cleaned up the dishes and washed them obediently.

He took out a set of skincare products from his school bag and threw them at Sydney. It seemed like he was doing it to please her, but his tone was still very unpleasant. "I spent three months of my pocket money to buy these. Since you took them, you have to come to my school on Saturday!"

Sydney picked up a bottle and looked at the brand. It was a famous brand, in which a bottle of essence costs nearly 800 dollars.

That set probably cost 15 thousand dollars.

Sydney thought he came to her because he had nowhere to go. However, now she knew why. "If you're in trouble, then go to your brother."

"I'm not in trouble!" Jayden gave her a look and then lowered his voice again. "The coach for the national basketball team will be coming to my school on Saturday to recruit people to their camp for training. Those who pass their tryout would be able to join the team, but they want to talk to the parents..."

Upon understanding the situation, Sydney immediately refused. “No. I have nothing to do with the Flint family. I'm not getting involved in this. Besides, your mom wants you to help out at Flint

Corporation in the future. She'll kill me if I help you join the national team."

"I'll handle it if something happens! I won’t get you into trouble!" Jayden raised his hands and swore to her. "Sister-in-law, you're the only one who can help me.

"I know I used to be abusive and disrespectful to you, but at that time, I thought you bullied Lyra and stole my brother away from her. My mom also keeps talking bad about you, so I didn't like you either..."

"You seem to like Lyra as your sister-in-law. You even told her about my tattoo." At that thought, Sydney did not think too well of the kid. "Why don't you go to Lyra instead? She’ll be more than happy to help you."

"Huh?" Jayden was stunned. "I didn't tell her about your tattoo!"

Sydney glared at him. "You really didn't?"

"For real!"

Sydney knew that Jayden had a stubborn and mischievous temper, but he was not the kind to lie. Hence, she believed him. She said to him, "I met Lyra at the club last night. She said you told her about my' JF' tattoo, and she begged me to remove it-"

"What?! How could she do that?" Jayden was very unhappy to hear that.

To him, Lyra had always been like a gentle and delicate big sister. She was the perfect match for his brother.

However, listening to Sydney's words now made his impression of Lyra worsen a little.

It was Sydney's business what she wanted to tattoo on her body. How could Lyra tell Sydney what to do with her tattoo?

Sydney said, "If you didn't tell her, how did she find out?” "She might have overheard my phone call," Jayden said somewhat guiltily. "When I called my classmate, I asked if it hurt when he got his tattoo. I also talked a little about you and said that you were a freak for tattooing my brother's name on your body, but that was all I said."

"Kid." Sydney looked at him with a vague smile." You're 100% Velma Wilkins's son. I guarantee it."

"What’s that supposed to mean?"

"Your personality is as bad as hers, and you have a big mouth." Sydney's eyes were filled with ridicule. "You inherited all the shortcomings your brother avoided."
