Sydney's eyes flickered, and she gave no response. Julien nibbled on her earlobe. "Darling, it seems like you've thought it through."

Sydney turned her head away, sulking, "So what? Even if Grandma doesn't mind, I can't do it with you."

"Why?" Julien frowned at her.

Sydney pursed her lips. "This is not my place, and it feels embarrassing."

Julien saw it now.

He chuckled. "How so? You will be the hostess of the Flint family and the next owner of the old residence. This is naturally your place, so don't worry. Do couples who live with their families have no sex?" The corner of Sydney's mouth twitched. "That's a different concept."

"Not at all." Julien shook his head earnestly. "It's the truth."

Sydney sneered. "You've said so much just because you want..."

Julien chuckled nonchalantly. "So, are we doing it?"

"No..."

Before she could finish her words, Julien pecked her on the lips.

Sydney's eyes widened in astonishment.

Julien caressed her cheek. "Grandma has arranged for us to be in the same room so that we can have a sweet moment. If we don't do anything, won't she be disappointed?"

Sydney rolled her eyes. "Come on! Don't use Grandma as an excuse. Even if she arranged for us to be together, she probably wouldn't care what we do in the room, let alone be disappointed. After all, there's nothing to be disappointed about in this kind of thing. You deliberately brought Grandma into this to make me compromise."

She knew his character too well.

As his true intentions were seen through, Julien was not dispirited. Instead, he laughed and said, "I'll confess it's an excuse, but Grandma really hopes that we will have a good time together. Even if we don't do anything, she won't interfere. But there's one thing I'm sure of."

"What is it?" Sydney blinked curiously.

Julien gazed into her eyes. "Well, if we don't do anything, she will doubt my potency tomorrow. So, do you want others to doubt your man?"

Sydney froze, then laughed. "You think too much. How could Grandma possibly..."

Julien cut her off again. "She will. So, why don't we prove it to her and not give her a chance to laugh at me?"

He pulled the blanket to cover the two of them.

Sydney felt her vision darken, and she subconsciously pushed the man on top of her. "Julien, wait..."

But Julien was bent on doing it with her, and he would not give her a chance to voice her objection again.

When she opened her mouth to speak, he seized the opportunity to kiss her, muffling her protests. He had no intention of letting her go that night.

No matter how desperately she struggled, he would not let her go.

He made up his mind to do it the moment he entered his grandma's room and saw Sydney blushing.

It was rare to see her like that. If he missed it, who knew how long he would have to wait until the next time?

It was a restless night for both of them.

Sydney resisted at first, feeling uncomfortable doing it in the old residence.

But as Julien advanced, she conceded and eventually gave in, enjoying the beautiful moment the man brought her.

By the late hours of the night, she had lost herself in it. In her mind, there was only Julien and the sensations he aroused within her.

His skills in bed were indeed excellent. But she wouldn't acknowledge it in front of him.

She was lost in it, without spare energy or rationality to consider anything else.

The night stretched on endlessly.

Sydney felt like she was on cloud nine.

And the man persisted.

She begged for mercy several times, but Julien gently told her that it was the last round.

But...

"Liar!" Sydney couldn't hold on anymore. With her last bit of strength, she forced the word out of her mouth and fell asleep.

Julien raised his brows and smiled with his eyes.

He admitted that he had tricked her.

If he hadn't done it, he wouldn't have gained so many benefits.

It was worth it.

He looked at the sleeping woman, gently dropped a kiss on her sweaty forehead, and whispered, "Sleep. This is really the last time." With that, he bore down on her once again.

At 8 o'clock the next morning, Old Madam, with the help of Felicia, came out of her room and went to the dining room to have breakfast.

Once seated, she noticed that a sumptuous meal had been served on the table. There were all kinds of delicacies. She wondered if she was in a restaurant.

Old Madam took the glass handed over by Felicia and had a sip of water. Looking at the food on the table, she smiled and said with satisfaction, "Not bad. Erika's cooking skills are getting better."

"Yeah. Now she's good at all kinds of cuisines. She's got the makings of a chef," Felicia said. "With so many options, Ms. Raines will surely be delighted and grateful to you for preparing all this for her."

"Syd and Julien have been divorced for half a year now. We rarely eat together, and since Syd's character has changed a lot, her tastes should have changed too. Having no idea about her current preferences I ordered the chef to cook some specialties. Syd can choose whatever she likes," Old Madam explained with a smile.

Felicia also smiled. "Yeah, but isn't this too much? What if we can't finish all the food?"

"Eat as much as we can. If we can't finish, we'll pack the leftovers and feed them to stray cats and dogs outside. That wouldn't be a waste," Old Madam replied readily, putting down her glass. Felicia nodded. "That's a good idea."

They talked mainly about Sydney, and neither of them mentioned Julien.

Julien was forgotten by his grandmother once again.

Even if she didn't, she had no intention of preparing his favorite food.

In her mind, her grandson could make do with anything.

She didn't have to prepare anything for him, or he would be spoiled.

"Oh, it's almost 9 o'clock, but Mr. Julien and Ms. Raines still haven't come." Felicia put down the teapot and checked the time. Then she turned to Old Madam and said, "Should I go and call them to have breakfast?"

Old Madam held her hand and smiled meaningfully. "It's alright. They're probably still asleep. You know, young people are passionate. Let them sleep a bit longer."
