Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 820 Treat You to a Meal

"It's nothing. You're Julien's girlfriend, and if nothing goes wrong, he will be your husband. You won't owe him anything. That's what he should do, right?" Hunter shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly. Sydney shook her head. "In this world, no one is supposed to do anything for others. It is true that Julien and I are now dating and that we will remarry, but this does not mean that Julien should do anything for me. This idea is not right, and I am not the kind of person who likes to owe others favors. I always feel very uncomfortable doing so, and I can only be relieved after returning the favors."

"I can see that." Hunter looked at her and expressed his agreement.

Sydney smiled and continued, "I just said that I already owed Julien a lot before we got back together, so I don't want to owe him anymore. Now that he and I are back together, if I bother him with everything and owe him favors, I'll feel inferior to him in my relationship with him, and we won't be equal. Besides, if I ask him to solve any difficulties for me, I will lose the habit and ability to handle things on my own, and as soon as something happens, I will turn to Julien for help. Have you thought about it?"

"What?" Hunter blinked, a little confused.

Sydney put the cup in her hand back to the table. "Julien loves me very much. I believe that as long as I ask for anything, he will not refuse. He will replace ways to get me what I want. This is indeed very good, bu if one day, our relationship worsens, and he does not love me anymore, while I have the habit of relying on him, will he still help?"

She shook her head slightly. "I don't think so. Some feelings and affection will be consumed, so I don't want to treat Julien as a tool that helps me with everything. It's not fair to him. Moreover, I won't belittle or doubt myself."

Listening to Sydney's remarks, Hunter was shocked. He moved his mouth, unable to say anything to retort.

In his mind, a man should pamper his woman. As long as his woman was in trouble, he should solve it for her. There was nothing wrong with it.

But after listening to her point of view, he looked at the matter from another angle and suddenly felt that his idea was not so right.

It was true that handling everything for one's lover was a sign of affection.

But such affection would make one's lover lose self-reliance and become unable to deal with things independently.

So was this love or harm?

He thought this was both love and harm.

One should help his lover, but not submissively or blindly.

Only helping lovers when they were in a very difficult situation was meaningful.

And he agreed with her that when in love, one would help his lover do everything, but when the relationship worsened, he would get tired of his lover.

At least, he no longer loved her. Maybe for the sake of past affection, one would continue to help, but he would feel irritated.

Thinking about this, Hunter looked at Sydney with appreciation. "You are still so unique and sober."

That was why he couldn't get her out of his mind.

Sydney did not understand the deeper meaning of his words. She smiled slightly and said, "There is another reason. If Julien helps me, he will certainly not let me return the favor. If I insist, he will not be happy I do not want to quarrel with him, so when it comes to some difficult things and I have to ask others for help, I will think of you and Luke. Anyway, you and I are friends. If I want to return the favors, you will agree because you know that if you refuse, I will be upset."

Hunter suddenly understood. He gave a complicated smile. "I see. You didn't ask Julien for help and instead came to me because I will not and can't refuse when you return the favor. It was the same reason about the matter with the Madden family."

"Eh?" Sydney looked at him.

Hunter leaned slightly forward. "I have never been able to figure it out before. You want to take revenge, and it will be easy with Julien's help. Although Julien cannot directly deal with the Madden family because he will be warned by the government, with Julien's power, he can easily bring down the Madden family in private. Even if the government knew it, since he didn't do it publicly, the government wouldn't warn him."

He tapped his finger on the table. "So if you had told Julien to deal with the Madden family, it would have long collapsed. Yet you have not been looking for Julien's help. You made a lot of effort but still couldn't ruin the Madden family. I was wondering why, and I did not expect that it would be like this."

"This is not the only reason." Sydney lowered her eyes. "The main reason is that this is the grudge between my family and the Madden family. It has nothing to do with the Flint family. The Flint family's foundation was built by Julien's grandfather, a great general. He had a good reputation. I don't want to damage it by using the Flint family's power to retaliate against the Madden family. I can't be that selfish." "Even so, have you ever thought that Julien will not let the Madden family go? Lyra hypnotized Julien, which made Julien and the Madden family have a feud, but Julien has not dealt with the Madden family. Have you thought about the reason?" Hunter asked.

Sydney smiled, "I know. I asked Julien this question before. He said it was because of me. He knew I wanted to take revenge on my own. After I refused his help, he said he could wait for me to finish my revenge first. He will deal with the Madden family's remaining power to get back at Lyra."

"So you have arranged everything. Then I shouldn't have worried about you guys." The corners of Hunter's mouth twitched.

Sydney looked at her watch. "Don't say that. I'm touched that you think so much about us. This time, you helped me replace the right genes. I owe you a favor, so you can ask me to do anything, of course, except for breaking the law."

"Rest assured." Hunter waved his hand. "I work for the government. How would I break the law? And I won't make you do anything difficult, but right now, I haven't thought of what I want. I will tell you when I do."

"OK, as long as you don't forget, or maybe I'll just pretend that nothing has happened," Sydney joked, stood up, and picked up her bag. "It's late. Let me treat you to a meal to thank you for accompanying me to the trial and helping me replace the genes."

Hunter leaned back warily. "You are not going to return the favor with this meal, right?"

Sydney gave a wry smile. "Of course..."

Hunter became more and more vigilant.

Sydney rolled her eyes at him. "Of course not. How will I possibly return such a big favor with a meal? If so, I would look down on myself. Well, let's go eat."

"OK," Hunter then smiled and followed her out of the café.

After the meal, Hunter said goodbye to Sydney, and then they parted ways.

Instead of going back home, he drove to the Flint Corporation.

He had some things to ask Julien.

When he arrived at the Flint Corporation, Hunter went straight to the elevator, and no one stopped him.

After all, he used to come here often, and the receptionist knew him, so naturally, they would not stop him.

Since Hunter told Julien that he was in love with Sydney, Hunter had never come here again, and they were not as close as before.

But outsiders did not know this, thinking they were still good friends.
