Chapter 358<\/p>\n
There was no way Sydney would have allowed Julian to dominate her like this under any normal circumstances.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about the office?\u201d he asked, his tone reckless and teasing. His lips left the warmth of hers only to dance across her brow and the delicate skin around her eyes, leaving a trail of soft kisses that ignited something inside her. \u201cSydney, if you even think about remarrying Caleb, I won\u2019t just stop at kissing you here at work. I\u2019ll kiss you at your wedding. In your house.\u201d<\/p>\n
His words were charged, filled with a reckless abandon that made her heart race and her mind whirl.<\/p>\n
Anger stripped away the layers of restraint he usually wore like armor, and his words tumbled from his lips unchecked. \u201cDo you believe me? I\u2019ll kiss you right in front of Caleb, and I won\u2019t care who sees.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you out of your mind?\u201d Sydney snapped, her fury bubbling to the surface like a volcano ready to erupt. She drove her foot into his shin, the sharp impact shocking both of them. \u201cJulian, what the hell do you want from me?\u201d<\/p>\n
He hadn\u2019t anticipated her to retaliate with such force. Caught off guard, the pain shot through him, and he hissed, momentarily stunned by her unexpected aggression.<\/p>\n
Yet, despite the anger that coursed through him, a laugh escaped his lips, mingled with disbelief. \u201cWhat do I want? You really can\u2019t tell? You can\u2019t feel it?\u201d<\/p>\n
What else could he possibly desire? The answer was simple: he wanted her, and that truth hung heavily in the air between them.<\/p>\n
Sydney\u2019s expression hardened, her resolve solidifying like steel. She understood all too well what Julian was implying. He had laid it bare that day, and for a fleeting moment, she had wavered, nearly surrendering to the pull he exerted over her. But now, she felt an impenetrable wall rising within her.<\/p>\n
She had spent years living alone, carefully navigating her emotions, guarding her heart like a precious treasure. Feelings had always seemed distant to her\u2014fragile, fleeting, and never worth the risk. In her past, she had learned that survival meant endurance, control, and an unwavering focus on her own stability. Now, she faced a different reality, one that required her to stand firm in her decisions.<\/p>\n
Taking a steadying breath, she posed a question that had been simmering in her mind. \u201cJulian, if your grandmother and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?\u201d<\/p>\n
Women of Agatha\u2019s generation rarely learned to swim, and Julian knew with certainty that his grandmother wouldn\u2019t be able to float to save herself.<\/p>\n
His brows knitted together for a moment, but he didn\u2019t flinch from her challenge. \u201cOne hand each,\u201d he replied, his voice steady, but the tension in the air was palpable.<\/p>\n
\u2018Unbelievable,\u2019 Sydney thought, almost wanting to applaud his audacity. Instead, a cold smile graced her lips. \u201cThen save her. Saving your grandmother will be enough for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, she wrenched her hand free and turned on her heel, determined to leave. She had known all along that the conversation about data feedback was merely a pretext for this confrontation.<\/p>\n
Julian began to follow, but the pain radiating from where she had kicked him forced him to halt. His expression tightened, a mixture of frustration and disbelief.<\/p>\n
Watching her stride away without a glance back, he clenched his jaw, drawing a sharp breath through his teeth. \u201cMs. Wilson, you just broke my leg. If you take one more step, I\u2019ll call the police.\u201d<\/p>\n
She paused, turning back with a skeptical look in her eyes. His grimace was evident, one hand gripping the desk for support, clearly struggling with the pain. For a heartbeat, she hesitated, uncertainty flickering across her features.<\/p>\n

Broken? No, probably not. But she had kicked him hard\u2014perhaps harder than intended. She hadn\u2019t anticipated that his sturdy frame would react so violently to her strike.<\/p>\n
Her brows knitted together in concern. \u201cSo what do you want me to do?\u201d<\/p>\n
Leaning against the desk, Julian extended his injured leg, his voice firm and unyielding. \u201cTreat me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sydney pressed her lips together, contemplating her next move. With a resigned sigh, she walked over to where he sat and crouched down, rolling up his trouser leg.<\/p>\n
The sight that greeted her made her breath hitch in her throat. In mere moments, the skin had turned a deep shade of red and purple, bruised far worse than she had anticipated.<\/p>\n
Had she truly kicked that hard? Gently probing around the swelling, she assessed the damage and delivered her verdict. \u201cIt\u2019s not broken, but it looks bad. Ice it first, then use some medicine for a few days.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFine,\u201d Julian replied, not one to argue, nodding as if her assessment were merely a matter of course. \u201cThen you\u2019ll handle the ice and medicine for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
