My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 143 Discussion

When Lyra saw that, she secretly gnashed her teeth and wanted to throw away the lunch box in her hand.

However, she knew those people would start snubbing her again if she did that.

At that thought, Lyra closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and forcefully suppressed the anger in her.

With that, everyone began to eat.

Julien also opened his lunch box, and the smell of food instantly wafted out.

He took a bite. The taste was delicious.

However, he did not think it was as good as the bowl of noodles last night.

He did not know why he felt that way. The chef's cooking was obviously better than Sydney's.

Yet, when he ate it, the taste was just slightly inferior. It felt like something was missing.

As for what it was, he could not say.

"Lyra, why aren’t you eating?" Julien raised his eyes and could not help but question when he saw that Lyra was not eating. She had not even opened the lid of the lunch box.

Lyra's eyes flickered, and she smiled. "I'm not hungry now, so I don’t feel like eating."

"I don’t think it's because she’s not hungry but because she doesn’t dare to eat it." Luke’s sarcastic voice sounded.

Julien's face sank. "Mr. Chase, what exactly are you trying to say?”

The corner of Luke's lips tugged. "What I'm trying to say is that the food was heated up by my darling.

Since you've harmed my darling so many times, you probably feel embarrassed to eat it. Besides, you're afraid that my darling has poisoned it, right?”

As if he had hit the nail on the head, Lyra's eyes trembled, but she quickly lowered her eyes and forced a smile. "You must be joking, Mr. Chase. There's no such thing. I’m really not eating because I'm not hungry. I'm going over there for some air.”

After that, she put down her lunch box and walked towards the cliff not far away.

Julien pursed his thin lips. He was worried about her being alone, so he covered his lunch box and followed her.

Luke looked at the two departing figures and clicked his tongue. "She’s so good at making excuses."

"Enough already. Shut your mouth when you eat." Sydney rolled her eyes at him and shoved a piece of meat into his mouth.

Luke jumped up at the scalding meat. "Darling, are you trying to kill me?"

Sydney snickered. "It's your fault for opening your mouth so wide.”

The others also laughed at her words.

Luke sat down with a gloomy face.

Not far away, Julien looked at that happy scene, and his eyes darkened. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

They were hiking together, but for some reason, Lyra and he could not blend in with them.

Even Hunter and Jayden had distanced themselves from Lyra and him.

That had never been the case before. However, it seemed to have happened gradually since he got together with Lyra.

"Julien, what are you thinking about?" At that moment, Lyra's voice sounded next to him.

Julien collected his thoughts and turned his head back to her. "Nothing.”

Lyra nodded, seemingly convinced.

She looked at the distant mountains. "Actually, Mr. Chase was right. I didn’t eat because I couldn’t bring myself to eat that meal. Although it wasn’t my intention to hurt Ms. Raines, it’s a fact that I did harm her. I'm too ashamed to eat the food that Ms. Raines heated up."

"I know.” Julien raised his chin. "I'm sorry. It was my fault for not being thoughtful. I should've packed more

food."

"It’s okay." Lyra hugged his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder, smiling. "I'll just bear with it. It's the same if we eat when we go down the mountain."

"Aren't you hungry?" Julien inclined his head to look at her.

Lyra shook her head. "Not really. I'm fine. Are you hungry? If you are, go back and eat."

While she said that, she lifted her head and let go of his arm.

Nevertheless, Julien stood unmoving. "It’s fine. I'm not hungry. I'll eat with you when we get down the mountain."

"You're the best, Julien.” Lyra leaned her head on him again.

Sharon, who came to get water, heard the conversation between the two and could not help but roll her eyes. Then, she returned to Sydney and the others, to whom she repeated the conversation between the two earlier.

"Listen to this. President Flint said he would eat with her after they went down the mountain, and she stopped persuading him. I really doubt whether she actually loves President Flint. He has carried her up and is clearly exhausted. I refuse to believe that he's not hungry, but Lyra believes him without a doubt. She's quite happy for President Flint to starve and accompany her." Sharon snickered.

"She's just an extremely selfish person and won't take other people into consideration, but you can’t say that she doesn’t love Julien because of this. You can only say that her love for Julien is far less than her love for herself. Otherwise, she wouldn't repeatedly do harm to others and let Julien wipe her *ss for her." Hunter unscrewed a bottle of water and said mockingly.

Luke nodded. "That's right. If she really values Julien as much as herself, she would only think about how to help him instead of repeatedly causing trouble for him."

"So at the end of the day, it means she just doesn't love President Flint enough, right?” Sharon rubbed her chin and said.

Hunter responded, "That's right. Who knows? If something big happens one day, like an earthquake or a flood, maybe she won't hesitate to leave Julien to escape or even use him to shield her from danger."

"Tsk, isn't it dangerous for President Flint to be with such a vicious woman?" Sharon said with a smile.

Sydney, who had not spoken, smiled. "If something like that really happens, I believe that President Flint will be willing to. After all, he loves Ms. Madden so much."

"That’s true.”

The group laughed.

Only Jayden remained silent with a grim expression.

Although he did not like their comments about his big brother, there was no denying that what they said was reasonable. After all, Lyra had done so many bad things to Sydney, but Julien did not break up with Lyra even though he knew about it. It was clear how important Lyra was in Julien's heart. She was so important that he did not care whether she had good or bad morale.

His big brother would really willingly throw away his life for Lyra.

At that thought, Jayden glanced at Lyra again and found her even more of an eyesore.

In a fit of anger, he picked up a small stone and threw it at Lyra's back.

Lyra cried out when she was hit. "Ow!"

She covered her shoulder that had been hit and crouched down.

"What's wrong, Lyra?" Julien's expression tensed as he hurriedly asked.

Lyra turned to look at Sydney and the others, biting her lip as her eyes reddened. "I know you don't like me, but you don't have to throw stones at me, do you?"

"Throw stones?" Julien narrowed his eyes dangerously as he looked at Sydney's group. "Who did it?"

Sydney was sipping on her water expressionlessly, ignoring him.

Luke was listening to a song with his headphones on and also did not respond.

On the other hand, Sharon and Hunter were playing a game and pretended not to hear anything.

At that sight, Julien's thin lips pursed coldly, and he finally fixed his gaze on Jayden, who had his head buried low. He instantly saw something off about Jayden. "Jayden Flint, stand up!"

"Why are you calling me?" A trace of guilt flashed in Jayden's eyes when he heard his name, and he stood up.

"Apologize," Julien ordered in a low voice.

Jayden huffed. "Why?"

"Because you threw a stone at Lyra."

"How did you know it was me?" Jayden widened his eyes.

Luke also stood up and patted his shoulder with a grin. "Silly boy, panic is written all over your face. Everyone could tell that it was you."

"I-Is that so?" Jayden blinked dumbly.

Sydney, Hunter, and Sharon could not hold back their laughter seeing him like that.

Luke sighed. "Alas, what a silly boy."

Jayden's face flushed red. "Who are you calling silly? I’m just not good at lying, unlike a certain person..."

He looked contemptuously at the woman beside Julien.

Lyra clenched her fist in anger, wanting nothing more than to tear Jayden apart.

She had originally planned to wait until she got married to Julien to drive Jayden and Velma out of Flint Mansion.

However, she changed her mind now. She wanted to drive this mother and son out of the Flint family once and for all. That was the consequence of offending her.
