Chapter 1111 Sydney's Coquetry

Therefore, Erin decided to test and see how Sydney would retaliate, so that she could know how Sydney would counterattack and could get to know her enemy better.

In this way, she would be able to deal with Sydney in the future.

She had thought this plan was perfect, but unexpectedly, Julien actually intervened. Not only did he clarify that the rumors were false, he also said that he believed Sydney would not betray him.

This was completely out of character for Julien.

He had never shown any interest in online matters before, so his sudden involvement was undoubtedly a red flag.

He must have been coerced by Sydney, who even made him sever ties with the McDaniel family, which was extremely despicable.

Sydney was even more difficult to deal with than she had imagined!

The more Erin dwelled on it, the deeper her resentment towards Sydney grew. Her cute face twisted in anger.

Taking a moment to calm herself, Erin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and rose from the sofa. She approached the broken phone, retrieved the SIM card, and proceeded to her bedroom. From the bedside table, she retrieved a spare phone, inserted the card, and dialed a number.

"How is it? Have the procedures for my return to Mediana been completed?"

The person on the other end of the phone immediately replied, "Miss, everything has been arranged."

"Good, I will leave for the airport immediately." Erin narrowed her eyes and replied with a sinister tone.

Finally, she would be able to return to her homeland!

Erin's eyes flickered with uncontrollable excitement and fanaticism.

‘When I return to my country this time, I will definitely free Julien from the clutches of Sydney!’ she thought.

Sydney had no inkling of the trouble that awaited her.

At this moment, she stood in front of the freezer, clutching a box of ice cream, engaged in a heated argument with Julien.

This was what had happened three minutes ago: Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The two of them finished shopping for groceries and meat. As they walked past the ice cream aisle, Sydney's eyes were drawn to a tempting mango-flavored ice cream. She couldn't resist the temptation and reached out to grab a box, gleefully placing it in the shopping cart.

However, Julien swiftly took the ice cream from her hand and returned it to the freezer.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still for Sydney. Her joyful expression froze, and she stared at Julien with no immediate reaction.

It took a while for Sydney to snap out of her daze when Julien tried to pull her away from the ice cream aisle. She yanked her hand out of his grip, her eyes turning red as she pouted at him. "Julien, why did you put my ice cream back?"

Despite her anger, Julien remained calm. "You can't eat this."

"Why not?" Sydney widened her eyes, finding his words quite amusing. "If you can't give me a valid explanation, you'll be sleeping on the couch tonight."

The mention of "sleeping on the couch" caused Julien's pupils to slightly contract, and his expression turned serious instantly. "I'm doing this for your own good. Have you forgotten how you had a stomachache after eating something cold the other day?"

He recalled that it happened when they were making out, and before they could further the intimacy, Sydney's face suddenly turned pale and she started sweating profusely, clutching her stomach in excruciating pain. In a state of panic, Julien held her up and took her to the community clinic, fearing that something serious had occurred.

After a medical examination, it was diagnosed as stomach pain caused by consuming something cold. She took some medicine, rested, and eventually recovered.

Only then did Julien feel a sense of relief.

Since that incident, he had been restraining her from cold food.

Luckily, Sydney wasn't particularly fond of ice cream, so he didn’t need to constantly remind her about it.

But today, she actually put such a large box of ice cream in the shopping cart right in front of him. Reminded of how much pain she had experienced the other day, he felt compelled to stop her. Without hesitation, he removed the ice cream from the cart.

To his surprise, she had such a strong reaction, and her eyes instantly turned red with anger.

This made him question if he had gone too far.

However, this self-doubt only lingered for a few seconds before he pushed it aside.

After all, it was acceptable to be a little excessive for her own well-being.

As Sydney listened to his explanation for taking the ice cream away, her initial anger dissipated.

It was irrational for her to lose her temper; after all, he did it for her own good.

Even if she felt angry, she couldn't show it or direct it towards him. That would be ungrateful, considering he was acting in her best interest.

Nevertheless, she couldn't help but feel wronged since she really wanted to eat the ice cream.

Sydney gazed longingly at the ice cream that had been returned to the freezer and pleaded, "Last time, I had stomach pain from eating something cold because it was during my menstrual period. But this time, my period hasn't come, so it won't be a problem if I have some ice cream."

Julien remained resolute. "It's still not allowed," he stated firmly. "Regardless of whether you're on your period or not, it's not advisable to eat ice cream in cold weather. Wait until it gets warmer."

Sydney spread her palm in exasperation. "Wait till it gets warmer? Do you know how much longer I have to wait? At least four to five more months!"

"Four to five months will pass by quickly. Don't rush," Julien responded, gripping her wrist and gently pulling her hand away.

Sydney's lips twitched, and she muttered under her breath, "You're just too..."

She bit her lip and clung tightly to Julien's arm, swaying gently as she employed her most coquettish tactics. "Julien, please don't be like this. Let me just buy one box, just one."

With a pleading expression, she raised a finger and continued, "I will just buy one box of ice cream, and I won't eat it all at once. I'll definitely eat it over several times, so it doesn't matter even if the

weather is cold."

"I can't allow that," Julien asserted firmly, his gaze unwavering as Sydney continued to cling to his arm and employ her coquettish demeanor. Although he felt an internal struggle, he maintained his firm stance for her own good.

Yet, there was a hint of regret in his heart. He couldn't help but wonder why she didn't employ such coquetry in other matters. Why did it have to be about something like buying ice cream?

Sydney, noticing that her usual tactics weren't working, felt a pang of dejection. Wasn't Julien usually the least resistant to her charms? Why was he so unwavering this time?

She didn't buy it. She wanted to test if his determination was genuine or just pretense.

Sydney's eyes sparkled with a hint of cunning as she held onto Julien's arm tightly, leveraging the gentle brush of her soft body against his, and her voice took on a seductive undertone as she pleaded, "Julien, I'm begging you. Please buy just one box for me. Pretty please, just one. I'm begging you!"

As Sydney continued to rub against his arm with her captivating eyes locked onto his, Julien couldn't help but inhale sharply. His lips tightened, and veins throbbed on his forehead. He clenched the handle of the shopping cart tightly, his hand veins visibly bulging.

It was evident that Sydney's coquettish tactics had a profound impact on him this time, causing his self-control to falter. He fought hard to resist, relying solely on his willpower as beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
