Chapter 1160 He Came to Pick You Up
"Like you, I had Clay kicked out," Sydney said, giggling behind her hand.
Old Madam and Felicia were both surprised.
"You kicked him out?" Old Madam looked at her, asking, "Really?"
"Yeah!" Sydney nodded and then took out her phone, tapping a few times before showing her the video from earlier in the day. "Take a look at this."
"Okay." Old Madam took the phone.
Felicia quickly handed her a pair of reading glasses.
Old Madam took them on and looked at the phone.
On the screen displayed Clay being dragged out by two security guards. Old Madam slapped her thigh and burst into laughter. "Well done! That's how we deal with people like him."
Felicia, who was also watching the video, echoed her words. "That's right. Shameless people should be dealt with harsh measures, or they'll think you're a pushover."
"Yeah. I thought the same way and had them thrown out," Sydney crowed, seeing them support her actions.
Receiving compliments and recognition from her respected elders made her proud.
"But Syd, you've really impressed me." Old Madam handed the phone back to her.
Sydney blinked. "How so?"
"In my impression, you have always been a gentle girl, not someone who could be so assertive as to kick someone out. The video really surprised me, and at the same time, I feel happy that you've grown. Compared with your old self, I prefer who you are now. Of course, it doesn't mean I didn’t like you before. I used to worry about you, afraid that you couldn't protect yourself. Now you know how to fight back, and I no longer have to worry about you getting bullied after I am gone. I'm really happy about your growth."
Tears welled up in Sydney's eyes, and she threw herself into Old Madam's arms. Holding the old lady, she sobbed, "No, you will live long. Don't you want to see me remarry Julien and our child born?"
Deep down, she knew that Old Madam could only live for another one or two years.
But she couldn't bear it whenever Old Madam brought it up.
She couldn't imagine how she would feel one day when this loving lady, who had always cared about her, was gone.
Seeing her sorrowful look, Old Madam exchanged a glance with Felicia. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Old Madam understood Sydney's feelings, but it didn't bother her.
People were born, and they died.
She had lived long enough.
She had never been scared or worried. But the concern shown by this junior touched her.
Felicia shared the same sentiments as Sydney.
Seeing how Old Madam faced life and death so calmly, she felt sad too. Her nose tingled, and she turned her head away.
Seeing their reactions, Old Madam sighed, patted Sydney's back, and soothed her. "Alright, don't be sad. I will listen to you and live to 100 years old."
"Really?" Sydney raised her head, revealing red and moist eyes from crying, and looked at Old Madam eagerly.
Amused by her look, Old Madam wiped away her tears and smiled. "Yeah."
"You must promise me, or I won't feel reassured." Sydney straightened her chest, looking determined.
"Okay, I promise." Old Madam nodded.
Despite that, they all knew the truth.
It was not up to them to decide how long one would live.
Although Sydney couldn't accept that Old Madam only had one or two years left, she knew that Old Madam couldn't truly live for 100 years.
She could only deceive herself.
It was the same for Felicia, who hoped that Old Madam would keep her promise.
But wasn't Old Madam also deceiving them?
Even though they all knew that she couldn't live so long, at least, her promise and deception could make them feel better.
"Alright, enough for this. Syd, you don't need to worry about the McDaniels," Old Madam said, handing her a piece of tissue. "Julien has been annoyed by them. No matter what they do, you should just ignore them and let Julien handle everything. It's all his fault to attract women."
Her words amused Sydney. "This only proves that he has inherited Grandpa's and your good genes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to attract anyone, don't you think?"
"Well said." Felicia laughed.
Old Madam smiled. "You too have good genes. Without a doubt, Julien and your children will be good-looking."
Sydney blushed. "We don't know that yet."
But deep down, she started to feel a sense of anticipation.
She was eager to know what Julien and her children would look like.
But then her eyes suddenly dimmed, and bitterness rose in her.
She thought of that child.
Julien and she had a child before.
But for various reasons, they lost him.
But she would never forget that child.
While she was lost in thoughts, the door was suddenly knocked on from outside. Then Julien's voice came in. "Grandma."
Felicia looked over and smiled. "Oh, Mr. Julien has come to get you to rest."
Her teasing words made Sydney embarrassed, and her cheeks turned rosy.
Old Madam observed her flushed face and laughed heartily. "Alright, stop teasing Syd. Look at her blushing face. You will scare her away."
"No, I'm not." Sydney covered her face.
Felicia and Old Madam were amused by her look.
After laughing for a while, Old Madam raised her chin. "Felicia, go and open the door for Julien. Let him take his wife away before he complains. Well, I won't keep you any longer. It's time for me to rest."
"Alright!" Felicia smiled at Sydney and went to open the door.
Sydney stomped her foot. "Grandma!"
Old Madam waved her hand. "Alright, alright, go ahead."
Sydney hummed and turned around.
Old Madam looked at her flushed ears and shook her head with a smile.
Soon, Felicia led Julien inside.
As soon as Julien entered, his gaze fell on Sydney.
Seeing the lingering blush on Sydney's face, he abruptly stopped in his tracks. His eyes darkened, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
'Does she know how alluring she looks?'
Under the light, she seemed to emit a seductive fragrance.
'What is going on here?
'Why is her face flushed like this?'
