**Chapter 505**<\/p>\n
Julian offered a courteous nod to the business partners standing nearby, but his attention quickly diverted before he could muster a proper response. Across the expansive hall, a striking young woman emerged from the private room directly opposite him, a man trailing closely behind her.<\/p>\n
With a decisive gesture, he signaled for Elliot to usher the clients out, then turned on his heel and strode purposefully toward Sydney.<\/p>\n
She was preoccupied with slipping her coat over her shoulders and didn\u2019t notice his approach until the shadow of his presence fell across her. As she looked up, adjusting her collar, a flicker of mild surprise danced across her features.<\/p>\n
James, ever perceptive to the currents of jealousy that often swirled around Julian, chose his words wisely, opting for a quiet farewell as he made his way toward the parking lot, leaving them to their moment.<\/p>\n
Sydney\u2019s face lit up at the sight of Julian. \u201cYou\u2019re here too?\u201d she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with delight.<\/p>\n
Instantly, the tight knot of tension in Julian\u2019s chest began to unravel, and a smirk tugged at his lips. \u201cWhat, you two can come here but I can\u2019t?\u201d he replied, his tone teasing yet edged with a hint of possessiveness.<\/p>\n
\u2018So sour,\u2019 Sydney thought, even as she registered his playful jealousy. Despite her usual slow reaction time, she could sense it radiating from him like heat waves on a summer day. Looking up at his impeccably styled hair, an impulse surged within her, and she reached out, playfully ruffling his hair as if he were a beloved pet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was just having lunch with James, that\u2019s all,\u201d she clarified, her voice light and teasing.<\/p>\n
Nearby, a group of middle-aged executives who had just exited the meeting room nearly dropped their jaws in disbelief.<\/p>\n
Who was this woman, so audacious as to tousle Julian\u2019s hair as if he were some pampered golden retriever?<\/p>\n
Even more surprising was the fact that he seemed to relish the attention!<\/p>\n
Julian froze momentarily, his gaze locking with her clear, sparkling eyes. A wide smile broke across his face. Mindful of her pregnancy, he instinctively bent down slightly to make it easier for her to reach him, even as he muttered with mock arrogance, \u201cWho asked you that?\u201d<\/p>\n
In response, Sydney deliberately tousled his hair again, unconcerned about the havoc she was wreaking on his flawless style. She rolled her eyes, a playful grin on her lips. \u201cThen pretend I never explained anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, she withdrew her hand and began making her way toward the stairs, her laughter trailing behind her.<\/p>\n
Amusement softened his expression, and he reached out from behind, catching her wrist gently. \u201cGoing to treat Madam Hutton\u2019s legs this afternoon?\u201d he inquired, his tone light yet filled with genuine interest.<\/p>\n
\u201cMm.\u201d She wasn\u2019t truly angry; their fingers intertwined naturally as she replied, \u201cJames is going with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGood.\u201d Something unreadable flickered in his eyes, but he nodded in agreement, walking her to the car with a sense of purpose. After exchanging pleasantries with James, he finally turned to leave, the air between them crackling with unspoken words.<\/p>\n
As they arrived at Seraph Villa, Sydney immediately sensed an unusual stillness enveloping the house.<\/p>\n
James, sensing her curiosity, explained as he led her inside, \u201cWe\u2019re hosting a charity auction soon. My mom sent everyone out to get custom gowns.\u201d<\/p>\n
A wave of understanding washed over her; she knew exactly who he was referring to, and a sense of relief relaxed her shoulders.<\/p>\n
Whenever Penelope was around, Sydney often felt a gnawing unease. Pregnant or not, she didn\u2019t want to risk anything going awry.<\/p>\n
It seemed Florence had orchestrated today\u2019s session with careful thought, sparing her from that tension.<\/p>\n
The realization warmed her heart, and a soft smile graced her lips.<\/p>\n
\u201cA charity auction?\u201d she asked, her curiosity piqued.<\/p>\n
\u201cMm.\u201d He nodded, his expression serious yet proud.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter Vee went missing years ago, my parents started a charity foundation, hoping that doing good might earn God\u2019s favor and somehow bring her back. All the auction proceeds go toward public welfare under the foundation,\u201d he elaborated, his voice tinged with emotion.<\/p>\n
Sydney\u2019s mind raced back to the stories she had heard. It was called the Vivian Hutton Charity Foundation.<\/p>\n
Years ago, when she had first begun donating online, she had stumbled upon this very organization. She had wondered about the identity of Vivian Hutton. Now, the pieces fell into place; it was named after the Hutton family\u2019s beloved daughter who had vanished.<\/p>\n
The sound of wheels rolling across the garden path interrupted her thoughts. Hearing cheerful voices, Florence appeared, her face alight with a bright smile. \u201cAh, Sydney, you\u2019re here! The house feels unusually quiet today, doesn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you.\u201d Sydney smiled shyly, feeling a warmth spread through her. \u201cActually, next time, you could have James drive you to my place for treatment instead.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her condition had improved significantly, and gentle outings would surely aid her recovery. Besides, Sydney was mindful of maintaining the delicate balance between Florence and her daughter, not wanting to disrupt it too often.<\/p>\n
Florence\u2019s eyes sparkled with delight. \u201cWould that be convenient?\u201d<\/p>\n
Although she struggled to be strict with Penelope, she also found it difficult to feel a close bond with her. The prospect of getting out of the house once in a while sounded absolutely lovely.<\/p>\n
\u201cVery convenient,\u201d Sydney affirmed, nodding as she took hold of the wheelchair from the maid, wheeling Florence into the elevator with care.<\/p>\n
With the absence of those two in the house, the treatment proceeded far more smoothly than she had anticipated.<\/p>\n
Just as Sydney stepped out of the room afterward, her phone chimed, breaking the serene atmosphere.<\/p>\n
\u201cHello?\u201d she answered, her voice curious.<\/p>\n
Raymond\u2019s calm yet slightly hoarse voice resonated through the line. \u201cSyd, are you free to come over to Delta Mansion for a bit?\u201d<\/p>\n
