My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 85 Jayden's Grievance

In Flint Mansion.

Jayden was also reading the letter.

Although he read this letter several times, he could find something new from it every time he read it.

In particular, the daily life and preferences of Buddy were really quite similar to that of his older brother.

Of course, the most similar thing was Buddy’s handwriting. It was just slightly less right than his brother's handwriting and slightly more relaxed.

If he had not known that his brother's pen pal was Lyra, he would have thought that Sydney was the one who exchanged letters with his brother.

Jayden folded the letter and put it back in the envelope, ready to put it away.

Sydney must have told him to throw the letter away because she was angry at him for taking it without her permission.

He refused to throw it away. He would just give it back to her next time.

Jayden snorted and put the letter in the drawer when there was a knock on the door. "Second Young Master, dinner is ready." "Coming!" Jayden answered. He pushed his chair back and stood up.

When he came downstairs, Lyra smiled tenderly at him. "Jayden."

"Lyra, you're here." Jayden also smiled at her.

Lyra nodded. "Aunty invited me over for dinner."

"Oh." Jayden looked at Velma and quietly called," Mom."

Velma grunted and ignored him. She lifted her foot and went into the dining hall.

Jayden could not help but look at Julien again.

Julien nodded slightly.

Jayden’s eyes lit up and he jumped up happily. "Great.

Thanks, Bro."

He knew that his brother was the best.

He could convince Mom every time.

"You should also thank Lyra. She also helped you convince Mom." Julien took Lyra’s hand.

Jayden froze for a moment, then looked at Lyra incredulously. "Lyra helped me too?"

Lyra tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled gently. "I just said a few words to her."

She was happy to see Jayden play basketball. That way, he would not fight for assets with Julien.

She would be Julien's wife in the future and would never let the Flint family's property fall into the hands of other people, even if that person was Julien’s brother!

Jayden still could not believe that Lyra helped him, but he still thanked her.

Somehow, he felt that she was a bit fake.

Last time when he asked her to help him sign the basketball team’s contract, she said she did not want to upset his mother and rejected him outright.

This time, she took the initiative to persuade his mother? Was she not afraid that his mother would be sad now?

Lyra heard the faint tone in Jayden's thanks and felt like he did not appreciate her very much. She felt uncomfortable in her heart and her expression became aggrieved. "Jayden, are you dissatisfied with what I did? Why do I feel like you're not very happy?"

"Huh?" Jayden was dumbfounded.

When was he dissatisfied?

When was he unhappy?

When Jayden did not answer, Lyra bit her lower lip and looked at Julien somewhat helplessly. "Julien, did I do something wrong?"

"Nonsense.” Julien stroked her hair and then looked at his brother. "Jayden, apologize to Lyra." "Wait, why should I apologize?” Jayden was completely stunned.

He did not say anything. He did not do anything.

She was the one overthinking. What did it have to do with him?

"Enough, Julien. Forget it." Lyra pulled Julien's sleeve, indicating that it was not necessary.

Julien patted the back of her hand. Then, his expression sank and he scolded Jayden in a stern tone, "I said, apologize. Did you not hear me?"

Jayden felt rather wronged, but due to Julien's intimidation, he still apologized to Lyra. "I'm sorry, Lyra."

Lyra waved her hand. "It's okay."

"Are you happy now?" Jayden glared at Julien and stormed toward the dining hall.

Lyra hugged Julien’s arm tightly. "Julien, I'm sorry. It's my fault that you brothers are fighting."

"It's fine. Let’s go have dinner first," Julien pressed his brows and said slightly tiredly.

Lyra smiled and nodded.

At that table, Jayden did not say a single word. He was obviously still angry.

He did not understand. It was Lyra who misunderstood him. Why was the victim in the end also Lyra? Why did he become the victimizer and have to apologize to Lyra instead?

What kind of reasoning was this?!

For a while, Jayden could not help but feel displeased with Lyra. His heart began to resist her becoming his sister-in-law.

He even felt that if she became his sister-in-law in the future, there would be more cases of inexplicable apologies like the one earlier.

When he thought of this, he instantly lost his appetite and slammed his cutlery on the table.

The others were startled by him and looked at him in unison.

"What’s wrong, Jayden?" Lyra blinked and asked with concern, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? You don't look too good."

"That's none of your business!" Jayden snapped back at her.

Lyra's expression suddenly dulled as she forced a smile. "Okay, I won't ask..."

"You little brat. How could you treat your sister-in-law like that?" Velma slapped Jayden on the shoulder.

Then, she smiled at Lyra. "Lyra, don't be angry. This kid just needs a lesson."

Lyra smiled faintly and shook her head. "Don't worry, Aunty. I didn't take it to heart."

Although that was what she said, she sneered in her heart.

Jayden was an ungrateful child. She kindly asked him what was wrong, but he showed her this kind of attitude.

Just wait. When she married Julien, she would severely deduct his pocket money.

"That's good. That’s good." Velma was relieved.

She did not want to lose such a good daughter-in-law.

"Hurry up and apologize to your sister-in-law!" Velma urged Jayden.

Jayden's mouth opened and he was just about to refute that she was not his sister-in-law, but then he saw Julien's deep, cold eyes. He instantly was unable to say anything.

Julien finally looked away and put a piece of mango steamed meat in Lyra's bowl. “Eat up. It's your favorite."

Lyra’s face stiffened for an instant when she saw the mango in her bowl, and her hand holding her fork tightened imperceptibly.

Julien saw that she was not moving and even looked pale. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"I’m fine. I just can’t eat mangoes because it's that time of the month for me." Lyra picked up the cup and took a sip of water. She suppressed the panic and nervousness inside, and replied to him with embarrassment. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"In that case, then don't eat it." Julien did not doubt her words and plucked the mango meat out of her bowl.

Only then did Lyra breathe a sigh of relief.

After the meal, Velma looked at the two. "Lyra, you're not leaving tonight, right?"

"Yeah. I already told my mom that I'm spending the night here," Lyra responded with a smile.

"What should I do?" Velma looked troubled.

Lyra's eyes went cold for a moment. "What do you mean, Aunty?"

Did this old hag not want her to stay?

"It's your room. I had the room you lived in last time renovated, and it’s not ready to be lived in yet." Velma let out a concerned sigh.

Jayden was nibbling on an apple when he heard this and could not help but interject, "Mom, since when did you ow!"

He was kicked by Velma before he could finish his sentence.

Velma gave him a warning look and quickly smiled again. "How about this? Julien, why don't you let Lyra stay in your room tonight?"
