Chapter 1108 Keep the Photo
The girl was very excited to see the couple she shipped display affection.
'Mr. Flint was very cold to me just now, but he is so gentle to Ms. Raines.
'Probably he is only tender to Ms. Raines.'
'Sure enough, Mr. Flint is the most charming man who can make girls feel secure.'
Many girls didn't like men who were attentive to every female.
The girl cupped her face and looked at Sydney and Julien with a foolish smile.
Under such an obvious gaze, it was hard for Sydney and Julien to ignore it even if they wanted to.
The two exchanged a glance and saw helplessness and amusement in each other's eyes.
Julien then turned off the cell phone and handed it to the girl. "Sorry, I just took your phone. Now I'm giving it back to you."
The girl took the phone in a daze and timidly replied, "It's okay."
"You scared her." Sydney slapped Julien's arm in amusement.
Julien frowned. "I didn't."
He hadn't done anything to the girl. He didn't even give her a cold stare.
Sydney wronged him.
Julien pursed his lips and gave Sydney an aggrieved look.
The girl hurriedly waved her hand. "Ms. Raines, you misunderstood Mr. Flint. He didn't scare me. I'm just afraid of him, so don't blame him."
"Afraid of me?" Julien frowned tighter. "I didn't do anything to you. What are you afraid of me for?"
The girl flinched and lowered her head, not answering. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Sydney let out a laugh and explained, "What else do you need to do? You're scary enough just by standing here."
"I'm not!" Julien wasn't happy that Sydney was judging him like that.
Sydney smiled at him, "Of course, you are. Look at your cold face and your sharp eyes. When people look at you, they think you're lecturing them."
The girl wanted to nod in agreement.
Julien lowered his eyes and fell into self-doubt.
'Could it be that I am really too stern and intimidating?'
"I'll change in the future," Julien said.
Sydney was about to say no when the girl responded, "No need, Mr. Flint. You do not need to change. It's good that you are indifferent to outsiders and only gentle to Ms. Raines. Although other people are afraid of you, Ms. Raines is not, and that's enough. Am I right, Ms. Raines?"
The girl looked expectantly at Sydney as if to say, "Quickly praise me."
Sydney gave her a thumbs up in amusement.
Seeing that she got a response, the girl smiled brightly.
Julien complimented the girl as well. "Well said. You did a good job of fighting back online."
The girl didn't expect to get Julien's praise, nor did she dare to think about it.
But now when she heard it, in addition to disbelief, there was also a sense of excitement.
'Even Mr. Flint praised me.
'I'm amazing!'
Looking at the girl's excited appearance, Sydney smiled and shook her head. "You seem so happy."
"Yes, I'm very happy." The girl's face was all smiles. "I came out to buy snacks. Usually, I don't go out. I'm a typical girl who likes to stay home. I didn't expect that I would be so lucky. As soon as I came out, I encountered you two shopping at the supermarket together, and I saw you were so affectionate. Maybe I'm the only shipper who saw this on the spot. And I was even praised by you, so I'm naturally overjoyed."
Saying that, the girl couldn't help but jump with excitement as she held her phone with both hands.
Then thinking of something, the girl stopped and looked eagerly at Sydney and Julien. "Ms. Raines, do you and Mr. Flint live in the neighborhood too?"
"Yeah." Sydney nodded.
The girl's eyes were bright. "Really?"
"Yes." Sydney nodded.
"But considering the status of you and Mr. Flint, you should live somewhere better, shouldn't you?" The girl pointed to Sydney and then to Julien.
This neighborhood was called a place where only the rich could live.
But they, the Shallow Bay owners, knew that Shallow Bay was nothing more than a slum for the truly rich.
The real rich bought mountains to build their own villas or manors. They would not live in this kind of crowded neighborhood.
Therefore, the girl was surprised that Sydney and Julien lived here.
"This is just a temporary place for us to live." Julien held Sydney's hand and said evenly, "We will move out later."
Sydney took Julien's arm and echoed, "Yes, this is my property, not his. He just came over to live with me, and he's been living here for a while."
She patted Julien's arm.
Julien was noncommittal.
The girl nodded. "I see. Then I missed many chances to meet you guys, didn't I?"
Saying that, the girl frowned gloomily.
Sydney looked amused. "Now that you know we'll be staying here temporarily, there'll be chances for us to meet in the future."
"Yeah." Hearing Sydney's soothing words, the girl was instantly convinced and cheered up.
Sydney covered her lips and smiled.
She felt this girl was so lively.
Looking at her watch and seeing that it was getting late, Sydney let go of Julien's arm and said to the girl, "Well, we have to go buy some other things, so let's talk again later when there is a chance. It's my honor to meet a young fan like you. I'm very happy."
After that, Sydney extended her hand.
The girl felt flattered, holding Sydney's hand. "Okay, Ms. Raines, it's also my honor to meet you and Mr. Flint. It's even my luckiest day. I hope you two will be happy together forever."
Saying that, the girl looked at Julien. "Mr. Flint, you must treat Ms. Raines well. Don't ever let her down. You have to teach Erin, who made trouble online today, a lesson for making Sydney suffer. Don't let her off the hook."
Julien's thin lips curved. "I won't."
"Then it's a deal." The girl reluctantly withdrew her hand.
Julien lifted his chin and nodded in agreement.
The girl wrung her clothes and drew circles on the ground with her foot. Her expression became hesitating. "And..."
"Say whatever you want. Don't be afraid," Sydney said gently.
The girl saw the encouragement in Sydney's eyes and felt relieved. After squeezing her palms, she finally said, "Can I keep the photo that I just took? And I want to post it on the Internet. The other shippers will definitely envy me when they see it. Ms. Raines, Mr. Flint, is that okay?"
She carefully looked at the two of them with expectation in her eyes, as cute as a small animal.
Sydney couldn't bear to turn her down at once.
But she felt she couldn't decide alone. She turned her head to look at Julien.
Julien's gaze was gentle as he nodded to Sydney. "Do whatever you want. You don't have to ask me."
"Since you said so, I won't ask you," Sydney smiled.
Julien nodded. "Uh-huh."
"Well then." Sydney turned to look at the girl. "You can keep and post it if you want, but I have one request."
