Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable Chapter 555
Sydney nodded. "Yes.""I'll go with you," Julian said.He paused, then asked about Jeremiah, "If you meet him again in the next few days, take me with you."Something about the situation unsettled him. Still, Jeremiah had done nothing to harm her so far. Maybe he was overthinking it.Sydney agreed at once. "Alright."They finished breakfast and headed out together. At the courtyard, they split. Julian went to Sterling Corp. while Sydney went to the clinic.She had slept in for once, and when she reached the clinic, she arrived right on time.Seeing her rush through the entrance, a familiar patient called out, "Dr. Wilson, slow down. We are not in that much of a hurry."Sydney used to start calling numbers half an hour early, sometimes even earlier. Now that she was pregnant, her patients understood and felt protective."Okay." She smiled, though her pace did not ease. She strode into the consultation room, shrugged off her trench coat, pulled on her white coat, and began calli

Given where they stood now, Julian had every right to know her background, even if she still did not know who her biological parents were.Her explanation was brief, but Julian caught the real point at once. He asked, sharp and direct, "So if it truly became a burden to me, you planned to end things with me?"His gaze was too clear, too incisive.Sydney felt her confidence falter. She looked away and changed the subject without thinking. "Do you remember Jeremiah? I asked you to help check on him last time. It seems he figured out my background."She had confirmed more than once that her biological parents were not drug traffickers.Watching her tread so carefully, as if every word mattered, Julian almost wanted to laugh but could not. He kept his voice as gentle as possible. "Answer my question first."Sydney knew him well. The calmer he was at moments like this, the less pleased he felt underneath.She wet her lips, drew a silent breath, and lifted her eyes to him again. "When

Julian's gaze drifted to the tips of her reddened ears. "My Precious is shy?"Sydney refused to answer. She crawled to the edge of the bed, looked at the mess on the floor, and wished she could hide under the blankets forever.Polly came upstairs every day to clean until the rooms sparkled. If she saw this chaos, Sydney would never have the courage to go downstairs again.Sydney pushed herself upright to start cleaning. Julian rose with calm ease. He slipped into his loungewear, bent down, and picked up the scattered items one by one, as if he already knew what she planned to do.He gathered the stockings that made her want to disappear. He lifted the lingerie torn into scraps. Everything sat in his long, steady fingers.Sydney thought of his hands from the night before. They had touched her with a gentleness she felt in her bones. When they held each other at their closest, he had drawn her in until their noses brushed and whispered with raw emotion."I love you. Sydney, I'll lo

Sydney did not need to say anything. Julian had already decided he would treat this child as his own. He would never neglect it just because it was not biologically his.Sydney wanted to explain further, but Julian kept his dark eyes on her and coaxed her in a low voice. "When did you buy it? Were you trying to surprise me?"Heat rushed across her face. She pushed at him with all her strength, but he did not move.His gaze burned through her like a flame. She shot him an irritated look. "I did not buy it for myself, and it was not for surprising you."It had been. She had simply forgotten to take it off."Really?" He sounded certain she was lying.One hand tightened on her shoulder. The other slipped behind her head. He kissed her hard, with no room for breath. When he pulled back, their breaths met in the narrow space between them. "If it wasn't for me, then who were you planning to surprise?""I leave the country for a few days, and you fall for someone else?" he asked."No o

The idea had crossed Julian's mind before. He only worried it might look rushed. They had confirmed their relationship not long ago. They had dated for only a few days, and he already thought about marriage. Sydney might think the pace felt jarring.He thought through his next words. "I'll find a chance to bring it up with her."If she wanted to marry him, that would be ideal. If not, they could date properly for a couple of years first.Agatha knew haste never ended well. "You better keep it in mind."Sydney was exceptional. Bachelors would gather from every direction.Julian let out a quiet laugh and agreed. He turned and went upstairs. He walked to Sydney's door and knocked. No response came.Was she asleep?He looked down. A strip of light showed beneath the door.He knew she had a strong temper. His lips curved in a helpless line. "If you don't open the door, I'll come in myself."Still nothing.He tried the handle and found it locked. Mild frustration pressed against hi

Julian knew exactly what she was doing. That reply was never meant for Polly. She aimed it at him, a small but deliberate act of payback.When he went downstairs to eat, everything clicked. She already knew the baby's gender. And earlier, he had said the opposite of the truth. No wonder she gave him that attitude.Seated beside him, Agatha watched his expression shift. She waited until he finished eating before speaking. "You just came home and already managed to upset Sydney?"Julian set his utensils down. "I didn't upset her. She's the one losing her temper at me."He simply did not want his daughter to become someone's older sister.He thought of the eldest daughter of the Hutton family. Watching her exhausted him. At 33, she carried the entire family with no end to her responsibilities.He wanted his own daughter to be the younger one, cherished and protected, the family's little jewel.The moment he finished talking, a firm slap landed on his head.Agatha scowled. "She pra
