"It's quite mysterious." The Old Madam took a sip of the tea. "Since you have said so, I will not ask anymore, but there is one thing I want to know. Sydney didn't realize that she had fallen in love with you again, so I wanted to tell her about it, but why did you stop me?"
"Because it's not the right time yet." Julien leaned back. "Sydney is not aware of her feelings for me. If we tell her about it, she will not accept the fact and even resist it, so I want her to discover it herself and gradually accept the fact that she loves me.
It was unwise to let others tell Sydney the truth.
She might even run away and avoid him because she couldn't accept it.
Thus, the best and more practical way was to wait for Sydney to figure this out herself and accept him.
The Old Madam nodded thoughtfully. "You have a point. Since you have decided, you can do as you wish, but I hope you will marry Sydney soon. As for Velma, you don’t need to worry about her. I will keep her under control and not let her make trouble."
Mentioning Velma made the Old Madam’s face darken.
If Velma had not raised Julien or given birth to Jay den, the Old Madam would have kicked Velma out of the Flint family.
What a troublemaker Velma was!
"I will, Grandmother. Thank you." Julien stood up and bowed to the Old Madam.
The Old Madam waved her hand, signaling him to sit down. As she was about to say something, Zach took Sydney over.
The Old Madam smiled at once. "Syd is here."
Julien hurriedly looked back and saw Sydney.
Sydney was surprised to see Julien here. After a pause, she looked away from him, pretended not to see him, and smiled at the Old Madam. "Grandma."
"Sit here." The Old Madam patted the seat beside her.
Sydney shook her head. "No, thanks. I came to say goodbye to you. It's getting late. I have to go now."
"Alright." The Old Madam, who knew that it was late and that Sydney had to work tomorrow, didn't force Sydney to stay. She stood up with her cane. "You've been drinking, so you can't go back alone. I'll let Julien take you home."
'Let Julien take me home?’
Sydney hastily refused it. "No, thank you. I can find a driver. Julien also has been drinking. How can he drive?"
Julien's handsome face darkened as he said, "Zach did not drink. He can drive us back."
"Us?" Sydney froze.
Julien put down his cup and stood up." Grandmother, it’s time for me to go. I'll let Zach drive so that he can leave work early." "Okay, then you guys can go together." The
Old Madam rolled her eyes at Julien.
She knew that he just wanted to go with Sydney.
But it was her original intention.
After all, the Old Madam had just asked Julien to take Sydney home.
"Well, I don't need you guys to take me home. I'll..."
Sydney wanted to say something, but the Old Madam patted the back of her hand. " Syd, just let Julien take you back home. I will be worried if you find a designated driver."
After saying that, the Old Madam looked at Julien, pretending to be serious. "Julien, take Sydney home. If anything happens to Sydney, I won't let you go." "Okay." Julien nodded.
Sydney smiled resignedly.
Now that the Old Madam had arranged everything for her, what else could she do?
It would be impolite for Sydney to continue to refuse the Old Madam.
Sydney gave in.
"Then we’re leaving, Grandma." Sydney fixed her hair and said goodbye to the Old Madam.
When Julien heard the word "we", his thin lips slightly curved up.
The Old Madam covered her lips and laughed. "Okay. Goodbye."
Sydney nodded and followed Julien out of the pavilion.
After walking a few steps, she heard the Old Madam's teasing voice from behind." Felicia, look at Sydney and Julien. They are like a couple, aren't they?"
"Yes." Felicia nodded in agreement.
Sydney stumbled and almost fell.
Julien wrapped his arm around her waist, saying in a low and soft voice, "Be careful."
"I know. Thanks." She stood up and wanted to push his hand away.
