My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 141 Superiority Complex

Seeing that Julien agreed with Hunter, she secretly resented Hunter.

She knew that Hunter was deliberately digging a trap for her. Since she did not want to hike, he would insist on making her do so.

Most importantly, she had to fall into the trap, or she would really be taken as a hypocrite.

At that thought, Lyra cursed Hunter several times in her heart. However, on her face, she smiled and said," You must be joking, Mr. Cohen. I only said that the mountain was too high. I didn’t say that I wouldn't hike." From NôvelDrama.Org.

"Oh? So you still want to hike?" Hunter raised his brows to look at her.

Lyra nodded. "Of course.”

"Is that so?” Hunter laughed and said nothing more.

Julien looked at Lyra. "Lyra, you don't have to care about what Hunter said. If you don't want to hike, you

H can-

"It's okay, Julien. I can do it." Lyra raised her hand and put it in front of his lips, stopping him from talking.

Julien could only give up at her insistence.

"Gross." Sharon looked at the two and could not help

but shudder in disgust.

Sydney chuckled. "What’s gross?”

Sharon’s lips tugged. "We're here to hike, but look at those two, acting so lovey-dovey with each other. Do they think they’re in a TV drama? She even put her hands on his lips. I get goosebumps just looking at them. Don't you think that’s gross?”

Sydney glanced back at Julien and Lyra before nodding with a smile. "A little."

"Well, President Raines, let's go. Stop looking at them. It'll just hurt our eyes,” Sharon said as she took Sydney's arm.

Sydney hummed in agreement and went to the hiking entrance.

Behind them, Julien heard her conversation with Sharon, and his eyes darkened.

Gross?

Was that how Lyra and he seemed to them?

"Julien, what are you thinking about?" Lyra shook his arm.

Julien returned to his senses, and his eyes flickered." It's nothing. Let's go."

The two of them also walked up to the hiking entrance.

Since the others were not willing to walk with them, Julien and Lyra walked behind.

At first, the seven people moved slowly up the path.

However, when they were at the midway point, Jayden suddenly proposed a race to see who would reach the top of the mountain first.

When he suggested that, he even deliberately cast a provoking glance at Luke.

Luke naturally could not stand that arrogant kid and agreed to participate in the competition.

Hunter also joined in the fun.

Sharon wanted to join too. However, she was ordered by Luke to stay by Sydney’s side and protect her.

After all, he was not comfortable letting Sydney walk with Julien and Lyra.

Thus, the three men ran up the mountain in unison, leaving Sydney and Sharon, as well as Julien and Lyra, walking slowly behind.

Not long after they walked, Lyra plopped down on a large rock out of the blue, panting heavily. "Julien, I'm so tired.”

Julien also stopped and took a bottle of water from his bag. He unscrewed it and handed it to her. "Have a drink."

"Thank you, Julien." Lyra took it with a smile.

Julien took another bottle of water out and handed it to Sydney.

Although Sydney was a little surprised by his action, she refused it and said calmly, "Thanks, President Flint, but no thanks. I'm afraid if I take it, your fiance's split personality will come out and try to kill me again."

Then, she pulled Sharon and left.

As Julien watched her walk away, his thin lips pursed for a moment, and he put the bottle back.

Lyra could see that he was a little upset, and her grip around the water bottle tightened, deforming the bottle.

Was he unhappy because Sydney rejected him?

Lyra looked down, hiding the darkness in her eyes, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Julien. It's all because of me that Ms. Raines-"

"It’s not your fault.” Julien put the bottle of water back into his backpack and looked at her. "Are you done resting?"

Lyra nodded. "Yeah."

"Then, let's continue." Julien extended his hand towards her, intending to pull her up.

However, Lyra simply sat still. "I'm sorry, Julien. My feet are so painful. I might not be able to walk."

"Does your feet hurt?" Julien frowned and looked at her feet. "Did you sprain it?" "No.” She shook her head. "It's because I haven't exercised in too long, so..."

Julien understood her predicament and rubbed his temples. Then, he shifted his backpack to his front and squatted down with his back to Lyra. "Come on up."

A trace of delight flashed in Lyra's eyes, but it disappeared just as quickly as it came. She feigned bewilderment. "What are you doing, Julien?"

"I'll carry you up," Julien said calmly as he looked at the mountain before him.

Lyra waved her hand. "I shouldn't. We still have a long way before we reach the top."

"It's fine. Climb up," Julien said again.

This time, Lyra climbed on his back without refusing.

Julien stood up with her on his back and walked ahead.

Soon, the two caught up with Sydney and Sharon.

Seeing the two figures in front of her, Lyra's eyes flickered, and she deliberately pointed to a rock in front of her, saying loudly, "Julien, look over there. The shape of that rock is so strange."

Sydney and Sharon subconsciously turned around upon hearing her voice.

However, they were both stunned to see Julien walking with Lyra on his back.

"Holy crap. I can't believe he's hiking with Lyra on his back. Does he think he's Superman?" Sharon whispered.

Sydney shrugged. "Whatever floats his boat. Why do you care?"

"I don’t." Sharon rolled her eyes. "I just hate seeing Lyra looking so complacent. It's so obvious that she shouted those words just now so that we’ll see President Flint carrying her."

Sydney laughed a little. "Alright, they’re coming. Shush."

Sharon stuck her tongue out and closed her mouth.

"Ms. Raines, Ms. Campbell." Lyra smiled and waved at Sydney and Sharon when she passed them.

Nevertheless, the two ignored her and sat on the side of the path, fanning themselves with their hands to cool off.

Julien looked at Sydney.

She seemed tired of walking and was using one hand to hammer her calf.

Sharon sat beside her and handed her a bottle of water.

When Sydney took it, she flashed Sharon a brilliant smile.

As Julien compared it to the cold look she had when he gave her water, his eyes darkened, and he became a little annoyed. His expression sank before he

continued ahead while carrying Lyra.

Sharon looked at their backs and tilted her head in confusion. "Weird. What's President Flint angry at? Who offended him?”

"Who knows?" Sydney took a sip of water and also looked toward the front as she replied indifferently.

Seemingly aware that they were watching, Lyra twisted her head and smiled smugly at Sydney. Then, she wrapped her arms around the neck of the man under her, declaring her authority.

Before Sydney could react, Sharon laughed in anger." President Raines, that woman is provoking you. Why is she still doing that even though you don’t love President Flint anymore? Does she think you’ll be jealous of her?"

Sydney sipped her water and smiled faintly. "I don't know where she gets that superiority complex from. She thinks I still love Julien and will be jealous of her. Whatever. Let's not talk about these irrelevant people. Let's continue walking. Luke and the others are probably at the top of the mountain by now."

"Sure.” Sharon capped the bottle, put it back into her backpack, and stood up.

Sydney did the same.

The two chatted as they walked, maintaining a decent distance from Julien and Lyra.

About an hour later, they reached the top of the

mountain.

Luke’s eyes lit up when he saw Sydney. "Darling!"

He trotted over and took Sydney's backpack from her.

As for Sharon, he subconsciously ignored her.

Sharon did not need him to take her bag either. Hence, she rolled her eyes and walked toward the camping site.

Sweating, Sydney looked at Luke. "How long have you guys been here?"
