Chapter 190 Hunter’s Nephew
"That’s right. I also found out that Lyra is looking for Clarice," Hunter said.
Sydney raised her eyebrow. "So what? Isn't this normal? Clarice is her sister. It's normal for Lyra to look for her."
"No, no, no. Lyra is not looking for her sister because of the sisterhood but to send Clarice far away from Port City. She wants to make sure that Clarice wouldn't show up in front of Brandon Madden and his wife."
"Why?" Sydney widened her eyes.
Hunter pursed his lips. "What else could it be? She's just selfish. If she is the only child of the Maddens, she will be the only successor of Trison Corporation. However, if Clarice comes back, she will not be the only one."
"I understand now. Clarice is a threat to her position," Sydney said in realization.
Hunter replied, "Bingo. You are absolutely right. I even heard that Brandon Madden has just disbanded a team of elites in the company. Take a guess on what the team does."
"What?" Sydney asked.
Hunter said, "The team of elites was set up by
Brandon Madden specifically for Lyra. When Lyra and Julien get married later on, he wanted to let Lyra take over Trison Corporation, and this elite team would be there to assist Lyra then. However, what could it mean now that he has disbanded it?"
Something flashed across Sydney's eyes. "Brandon no longer intends for Lyra to take over Trison Corporation.”
"Yes, that’s the only explanation for Brandon to disband the elite team. I'm guessing Brandon wants to train Clarice Madden instead and Lyra found out about this. That is why she’s so eager to look for Clarice. It’s to send her away," Hunter said.
A mocking smile appeared on Sydney’s face. "Even if this has no relation to the succeeding rights over Trison Corporation, I believe that Lyra will still do the same. Think about it. Clarice has been separated from her parents at such a young age. If she ever comes back, the couple will definitely pay more attention to compensate her, and in return, they might neglect Lyra. Do you think Lyra will ever allow that?"
"You’re right.” Hunter nodded and suddenly thought of something. "Sydney, I have a good idea."
"What is it?" He successfully piqued her interest.
Hunter cleared his throat and said, "We should not talk about this over the phone. Let's meet up."
Sydney looked at her watch and saw that it was already 6 p.m. Since the sky was already dark, she
wanted to reject him.
However, as if Hunter knew what she was thinking, he said before she could reject it, "I have an overseas trip tomorrow, so I only have time today. Moreover, this matter cannot be delayed. The longer we delay it, the less significant it will be."
Upon hearing that, Sydney bit her lip and agreed." Alright. Where should we meet?"
When Hunter heard her say yes, he tightened his fist in excitement. However, he tried to conceal it with a calm voice. "How about the Prime Amusement Park?"
A date there sounded great.
He heard that girls loved places like that.
"Amusement park?" The corners of Sydney's lips twitched. "Since we need to talk, a cafe will do. Why an amusement park?"
Hunter looked away guilty and said, "My brother and his wife are out, and they've left their son with me. The kid wants to go to an amusement park, so...
Sydney, just help me out here, please?"
Sydney rubbed her eyebrows hearing him plead so pitifully. "Fine. Let's go."
A bright smile spread across Hunter's face. "I’ll pick you up."
"No need. It will be faster if I drive there myself. Let's meet at the entrance of the amusement park," Sydney said with a smile.
Hunter agreed and quickly ended the call.
He put down his phone, rushed to the living room, and picked up his nephew from the couch, who was in the middle of fixing a puzzle. Then, he planted a hard kiss on the child's cheek. "Davey, let's go to the amusement park."
Davey rubbed his face in disdain. "I don't want to.
What's so nice about the amusement park? I want to stay at home.”
Hunter used to be glad that Davey was quiet and introverted. However, Hunter now hated it.
He carried the little guy and walked out. "No way. You have to come with me. For my future wife, you have to make a little sacrifice."
"...No!" Davey screamed.
Sydney did not know about Hunter’s other intentions when he asked her out.
Hence, after she hung up the call, she drove to the amusement park.
When she arrived, it was already 8 p.m.
As soon as Sydney parked her car and unbuckled her seat belt, she heard someone knocking on her window.
When she rolled down her window, a small, adorable face appeared in front of her, and the child said in a cute voice, "Aunty!”
Sydney was taken aback by the child for a moment.
Then, she reached out and touched his face with a smile. "Little guy, you've got the wrong person. I'm not your aunt.”
"I'm right! You're my aunt," the child said as he tugged on her hand.
Sydney blinked. Instead of pulling her hand away, she held onto the child.
This child was unbelievably adorable with his chubby little cheeks.
Not to mention that his small hand was so soft that it felt like a tiny sponge in her hand. It made her reluctant to pull away.
She did not know that a human child could be so adorable.
Would the unborn child in her belly be as adorable as well?
Sydney's other hand reached towards her belly as she thought about that.
However, she quickly lifted it off and got rid of the thought.
No, she could not think further.
Otherwise, she might change her mind about the abortion.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before looking at the child once more. "Little guy, where is your family?”
"Here." Suddenly, a huge figure appeared behind Sydney, and he bent down to smile at Sydney.
Sydney was shocked. "Hunter?"
"Uncle!” The child let go of Sydney's hand and said to the man behind him.
When Sydney heard it, she came to a sudden realization. "Is this your nephew?"
"That's right. Isn't he cute?" Hunter picked up his nephew. "His name is Davey."
"He is very cute." Sydney nodded.
Davey put his arms around Hunter’s neck as he said," Aunty, you are very pretty."
Sydney took a sideways glance at Hunter. "Did you ask him to call me that?"
"No, it's all him! He thinks you're my girlfriend since I asked you out. I’ve corrected him repeatedly, but he refuses to change how he addresses you. There is nothing I can do anymore, so I hope you won't mind him," Hunter said apologetically.
Davey secretly laughed.
How could it be all him? His uncle was the one who made him do it.
If it were not for the limited edition Transformers, he would never let it be.
"I don't mind." Sydney shook her head. After that, she opened the car door and got out of the car. With a gentle tone, she said to Davey, "Davey, I'm not your uncle's girlfriend, so you can’t call me aunty. You should call me Sydney."
"But I want to call you aunty! Carry me!" Davey let go of Hunter's neck and stretched his arms out at her.
Sydney laughed and then held the child in her arms.
Fine.
It would be alright if he called her aunty. It was no big deal, after all.
"Sydney, put him down. You're pregnant," Hunter said as he glanced at her abdomen.
Sydney planted a kiss on Davey's face. "Don't worry. Davey is not heavy, and I happen to like him a lot."
Not far away from them, Julien pursed his lips as he saw them.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
