My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 966 Julien's Trick

'What did she just say? The reward was cancelled?'

Julien had been so looking forward to the reward, but Sydney cancelled it!

Julien looked at Sydney with an incredulous look as if he wanted to make sure he got her wrong.

Seeing Julien's incredulous look, Sydney nodded and told him he hadn't misunderstood.

She was serious about the reward being cancelled!

Immediately, Julien felt his mind go blank as if he had been struck by lightning. He became numb.

It was the first time Sydney had ever seen such a dumb expression on his face. She found it hilarious.

It wasn't like Julien at all.

But Sydney knew why he was giving that look. He was shocked by her decision to cancel the reward.

Julien was so looking forward to it!

Every time they had sex, Sydney could sense that Julien was a man of strong desire.

When she promised him a reward, he began to look forward to it.

Now Sydney cancelled the reward. Definitely, Julien was disappointed.

It was like before a little kid took a test, his parents promised him a gift if he did well on the test, but after the kid did do well on the test and came home with excitement and anticipation, his parents didn't keep their promise.

The kid must be devastated. His expectations were extinguished. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Julien was now just like a desperate child.

But he couldn't blame her. It was his fault. He always made a move on her when they were alone together, in the kitchen, in her office, in the car, and so on. But those were their own places.

However, today, Julien made a move on her in someone else's place. How humiliating it would be if they were spotted by others.

Sydney was so scared.

Therefore, she cancelled the reward to teach Julien a lesson before he got more and more reckless in the future.

Julien didn't know Sydney's intentions to cancel the reward.

He only knew that the reward was cancelled.

'No! No way!’

Julien imagined in his mind a little boy crossing his arms over his chest and shaking his head repeatedly. The boy would not accept the fact that the reward was cancelled.

Julien took Sydney's hand and pleaded, "Come on, Leaf. Don't cancel the reward!"

Sydney looked at him with a faint smile, "Julien, are you really so stupid or are you just faking it? Don't you know why I canceled it?"

Julien looked away with guilt inside and pretended he didn't understand her. He shook his head, "I don't know."

Sydney rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're lying. Now you're afraid to look at me. You know exactly why. Don't pretend to be innocent."

Julien compressed his thin lips. He couldn't argue with her. He looked at her with an upset look.

Seeing the upset look on his face, Sydney was kind of softened.

He looked at her with pleading eyes like an innocent puppy. Who could resist it?

"Don't you look at me like that! I'm not going to change my mind. It is cancelled. There's no negotiation." Sydney took a breath and shook her head. She pushed the innocent puppy out of her mind lest she went softened.

She knew well that if she gave in this time, Julien would know the trick worked for her. In the future, he would use this trick again to make her give in.

Therefore, Sydney was determined not to change her mind. She would not be manipulated by him.

If she compromised the first time he used this trick, she would not be able to make any rules later.

Therefore, Sydney was determined to resist his pleading.

'I must be tough! Otherwise, Julien will go further and further and I can’t do anything about him.

With that in mind, Sydney took a deep breath and closed her eyes. After a few more moments, when she opened her eyes, she looked peaceful. Nothing could disturb her.

After she calmed herself, she felt calm as she looked into Julien's pleading eyes. She would not go soft.

Julien sensed the change in Sydney. Her tension was gone, and now she was peaceful.

He compressed his lips tighter. 'Guess she won't change her mind anyway...'

Julien gave that innocent look deliberately to soften her heart.

Zach taught him the trick.

Usually, a man could not say no to a woman when she played cute with him. Likewise, when a man showed a pleading look to a woman, the woman would go soft.

And Zach told him that if he ever annoyed Sydney, he could use this trick to make her forgive him and even feel guilty.

Julien believed Zach and used it.

However, it didn't work.

At first Sydney looked like she was going soft, but soon she calmed down and became firm.

'I shouldn't have trusted Zach. He's a single dog. He's never been in love. How does he know how to please a woman?

‘I was so stupid to trust Zach. Maybe it works for some women, but Leaf is different.

'Damn Zach! He's a dumbass! He's never been in a relationship. How is he going to tell me how to please a woman?'

Julien was determined to blame Zach when he went back. But he still kept his innocent look. He pleaded again, "Won't you change your mind?"

Sydney withdrew her hand and grunted, "No. I have my principles. I can't change my principles. And it's for your own good. You can't do this without thinking about where we are. How humiliating it will

be if someone spots us! All right! Get out! I'll change my dress myself. I don't need your help." As she said so, she turned Julien around and pushed him toward the outside of the dressing room.

Julien didn't resist. He headed out of the dressing room, but he kept looking at her, hoping she would change her mind. As he got out of the dressing room and watched the door close, he sighed. Now he accepted the reality that Sydney would not change her mind.

Now Julien regretted it.

He would have resisted the urge to kiss her if he had known that his move would get the reward cancelled.

How could a dessert be worth a meal?

Julien rubbed his temples and gave a bitter smile.
