Chapter 151 " You sure you're all right ? " Tiffany asked , still uneasy . "I'm fine . " Sydney downed a glass of milk in one gulp and returned to her room . The truth was that she had no idea how to even begin talking about it . Back in the car , she had thought Julian only wanted her to admit defeat and acknowledge him like an older brother . But lying in bed that night , the more she replayed it , the less it felt right . A thought had taken root inside her , spreading like wild grass . Still , he was supposed to be her brother . Sydney could not tell if she was simply overthinking .
Since childhood , she had delivered countless love letters to him - dozens , at least . They had come from school beauties and girls from prominent families . Julian could have anyone he wanted . There was no way he would be interested in her , especially not in a married woman , at least on the surface . Besides , he had said it himself that he was not single . Sydney exhaled slowly . ' Most likely , I am imagining things . ' The next morning , before heading to the clinic , Sydney drove Tiffany to the airport .
This case could make or break Tiffany's promotion , and she had to fly out personally to persuade a witness in another state . By noon , Sydney returned from work , only to find Caleb waiting in the parking lot . The snow had not yet melted . He stood beside her car in a long coat , tall , straight , and as handsome as ever . He exuded the image of a perfect gentleman . Sydney frowned . She had no idea what game he and Penelope were playing . The two of them seemed intent on taking turns cornering her . Still , Penelope's obsession with the pendant had far exceeded what Sydney expected .
Maybe Caleb held the answer . She approached quickly . " Why not come to the clinic if you're looking for me ? " " I did not want to interrupt your work , " Caleb said smoothly . " Have you eaten yet ? There's a nice restaurant nearby ... " " No need . " She had worked late and missed the cafeteria hours , but eating with Caleb was unnecessary . do you want ? " " What The chill in her tone caught him off guard , stabbing at his chest . Maybe couples really could not live apart . Sydney had not always been this way . She used to be obedient and tolerant . He made up his mind .
" When are you moving back ? This afternoon works . I'm free . I can help pack your things . " He reached out , intending to ruffle her hair and soften the distance between them . 1/2 Sydney stepped back , retreating two paces . " Caleb , did you not hear a single word I said that day ? I told you that I will not interfere with you and that you must stop interfering with me . " She added coldly , " Is keeping things the way they were before not good enough ? " That had always been their reality . The only difference back then was that they had been living under the same roof .
But in his eyes , she had never truly existed . Even if she had died in that house , Caleb might not have noticed . His brows knit . " I told you , that was my fault. It will not happen again . " After a pause , he said , " As for Penelope , I will cut ties with her very soon . " He was nearly certain now that Penelope had used the pendant to impersonate Precious . The thought made him want to strangle her on the spot . But what if he was wrong ? That was why he had held back , waiting for Gordon's final confirmation . He had to know how the pendant had fallen into her hands .
Had she bullied Precious , that tearful little girl who had once cried her heart out when they parted ? Sydney stared at him , stunned . " What did you just say ? " She had seen clearly how shamelessly he had bent over backward for Penelope . And now he claimed he would sever ties with her ? Caleb pressed his lips thin , aware his words were hard to believe . " Believe me or not . I will make it happen . " X Today's Bonus Offer GET IT NOW
