My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 136 Lyra Vomited

Lyra did not expect him to mention her name, so she smiled politely and said, "I-"

"Are you rejecting his cooking?" Luke cut her off midsentence.

Lyra quickly shook her head and denied, "No.”

"Then why aren’t you eating?" Luke asked.

Sydney and the rest knew what he was trying to do -cause a rift between Julien and Lyra. That caught their interest, and they all put down their chopsticks to watch the show.

"That's right, Ms. Madden. If you are not rejecting his cooking, eat." Hunter supported his head with one hand and said mockingly.

Sharon, too, nodded and joined in. "President Flint personally made this. It’ll be rude not to eat it. Moreover, don't you love him? If it's true love, you should be supportive."

Jayden was just about to say something when he met Julien's cold gaze and decided to shut his mouth.

Sydney, on the other hand, drank her soup calmly without saying anything. If it were not for the playfulness in her eyes, it would seem as though she had nothing to do with it at all.

Lyra’s eyes were full of hatred when she stared back

at them.

They were deliberately harassing her. They wanted her to eat the horrible meal so that they could pick on her. They even used Julien as an excuse to force her.

If she chose not to eat, she would be rejecting Julien's cooking, which was equivalent to not loving him enough. If that happened and Julien kept quiet, he would definitely doubt her love for him. Those people were indeed the worst.

"I'll eat." Lyra took in a deep breath and forced a smile.

Luke and the others were stunned at first, but a smile quickly appeared on their faces.

"Ms. Madden, you're amazing. You really love President Flint." Sharon gave her a thumbs-up.

Lyra smiled and said nothing.

Love?

What did that have to do with love? They forced her into the situation.

Lyra bit her lip and picked up her chopsticks.

Julien stopped her. "Don't eat. Just ignore them."

"It's fine, and they're right. This is your first time cooking for me. I will have to try it no matter what." After saying that, Lyra moved his hand away lightly.

Although Julien did not think she should eat it, he did not stop her.

He wanted to know her reaction after she tasted it.

Under everyone's intense gaze, Lyra reached her utensils towards the fries and picked some up with her fork. They did not look like potatoes at all.

"What are you waiting for?" When Luke saw that she did not put it in her mouth, he urged her from the side.

Lyra cursed silently and knew that she could not put the food back down. With that, she closed her eyes and put the fries in her mouth.

At that moment, an indescribable, weird taste spread all over her mouth.

Her expression changed immediately. She could not bear the taste, so she covered her mouth and ran toward the washroom.

When she entered the washroom, Luke and the rest burst into laughter.

"Julien, Ms. Madden really hates your cooking. She took one bite and vomited," Hunter teased while he was sipping on juice.

"Maybe Ms. Madden doesn’t love you after all.

Otherwise, why would she do that? If it were me, no matter how horrible my darling's cooking was, I would never vomit or spit it out right in front of her. I will never embarrass her like that," Luke said.

Julien’s face darkened, but he pursed his lips and said nothing.

He understood why Lyra behaved that way. After all, the food was horrible.

However, when he saw her vomiting the food out, he felt rather uncomfortable. It was just like what Luke had said. Did she ever consider if it might embarrass him?

"Enough. Let's stop talking and eat.” Sydney, who had remained silent all along, said after looking at Julien's sour expression.

She was not saving Julien from misery.

She just did not want things to get out of hand.

Luke and the others noted that Julien was angry, so they took her advice and continued their meal quietly.

When Lyra came back, she sat down carefully and looked at the man next to her.

Seemingly knowing that she had embarrassed Julien, Lyra lowered her head and said apologetically, "Julien, I'm sorry, I didn’t mean it. I-"

"It’s fine. It's horrible, so it's normal for you to do that," Julien said with his eyes cast downward.

The coldness in his voice was obvious, and it made Lyra nervous. She knew that he might have formed an opinion about her, and she was mad about it.

It was all Sydney, Luke, Hunter, and Sharon's fault.

If they had not forced her to eat, she would not vomit it out, and Julien would not be so cold to her.

Suddenly, everyone on Julien’s side of the table remained silent. They also did not move their utensils, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

On the contrary, Sydney's side of the table was lively. They chatted and laughed, visibly having a good time.

The smell of their food wafted to Julien, Jayden, and Lyra, making them even more upset.

"Ah! I can't take it anymore. I'm so hungry." Jayden slammed the table as he said. "Bro, can you get someone to send some takeout over? Can they deliver it via a helicopter?"

When she heard that, Lyra's eyes lit up, and she looked at Julien.

Julien rubbed his eyebrows. "No way. There is a storm outside, so it's dangerous to fly a helicopter right now."

"In that case, do we have to starve?" Jayden widened his eyes.

Julien looked back at him. "If you don't want to starve, eat what you have."

"I'd rather starve than eat this," Jayden said in a huff.

The air surrounding Julien turned cold, yet he did not force him. "If you’re not eating, get out!"

"Fine." Jayden stood up and left his seat. However, instead of heading upstairs, he walked over to Sydney's table.

When Luke saw Jayden, he raised his eyebrow."

Darling, the boy is coming."

Sydney turned her head and saw Jayden smiling at her. "Sydney..."

Sydney laughed. His smile was really silly.

Sydney rolled her eyes and pretended not to hear him. Then, she looked away and continued eating.

When Jayden saw that he had been ignored, his eyes dimmed. However, he did not turn away. He stood beside the table and bit his finger while he stared at the food. His eyes were screaming with desperation.

Under his intense stare, Sydney and the rest could not take it any longer.

Luke put down the juice in his hands. "Boy, what do you want?"

Jayden ignored him. Instead, he looked toward Sydney and said, "Sydney, the dishes you made smell so good."

Sydney smiled. "Want some?"

Jayden's eyes brightened, and he nodded hard. "Can I?"

"Jayden, come back.” Before Sydney could answer him, Lyra said from the other side, "You shouldn't beg for food like that."

"What does this have to do with you?" Jayden answered impatiently.

Lyra bit her lip, and her eyes watered.

"I'm just concerned about you." "I don't need your concern. Just take care of my brother." Jayden pursed his lips and said.

"Julien...” Lyra threw herself into Julien’s arms as though she was seeking comfort.

She thought that Julien would comfort her like he usually would or even make Jayden apologize to her.

However, Julien just hugged her back without saying anything. His eyes remained downcast, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

Now, Lyra was really upset.

Luke, on the other hand, was overjoyed. He gave Jayden a thumbs up and praised him, "Good job, young man."

Jayden ignored him as usual. He asked Sydney once more with bright eyes, "Sydney, can I?"All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
