Chapter 191 A Family
It was so late in the day. Why were Hunter and Sydney here, and where did the child between them come from?
"President Flint, why don't you go and say hello?" Zach suggested carefully. He was standing behind Julien, so he naturally saw Sydney and Hunter as well.
Julien lowered his eyes. "No need."
Zach shrugged.
'In that case, let’s leave.
'However, you don't want to leave and insist on watching them. Why are you deliberately making yourself upset?'
Zach secretly sighed and pushed the rim of his glasses, saying, "With Ms. Raines and Mr. Cohen holding a child, they really do look like a family of three."
The words 'a family of three' triggered Julien.
His expression darkened, and his voice went cold. ' How do they look like a family?"
"I think they do." Zach heard the jealousy in Julien's tone, and his lips curled into a grin
On the other hand, Julien's lips pursed into a thin line. "I think you need to change your glasses."
Zach pretended not to understand and cleared his throat softly. "President Flint, what has that got to do with my glasses? I'm just expressing my opinion. However, why are they here at the amusement park at this time? Are they on a date?"
Julien's eyes widened, and the fists on his sides clenched.
At that, Zach's glasses glinted. "Oh, Ms. Raines and Mr. Cohen are going in. It seems they're really here on a date."
"Shut up!" Julien rebuked as his brows furrowed.
Then, he lifted his feet, walking toward Sydney and Hunter.
Zach looked at his back and snickered to himself.
He said he would not go, but just a little provocation, and he ended up going anyway.
With that, Zach followed him.
In fact, he knew Julien did not like it when other men approached Sydney because Julien loved her.
However, Julien was not aware of that and did not know what excuse or identity to use to stop Sydney from being with other men.
That was why Zach had to provoke Julien to help him.
He also hoped for Julien and Sydney to get back together again as Lyra really was not worthy of Julien.
It was not a matter of family background but her personal character.
He really did not want to see Julien and Lyra together. After all, who knew what kind of trouble Lyra would bring to Julien in the future?
"Julien?" Hunter was telling Sydney an interesting story about Davey when he suddenly saw a man walking over from behind Sydney. His eyebrows rose in surprise.
Sydney also turned her head and looked in astonishment.
Why was he here at that hour?
Was he on a date with Lyra?
Julien glanced at Sydney and nodded in response to Hunter's greeting.
Hunter picked Davey up from Sydney's arms. "Julien, what are you doing here?"
"This amusement park is developed by Flint Corporation. The company is preparing to expand a stargazing platform here one of these days, so I'm here to inspect the night scene and see if it's appropriate for the expansion. You two..." Julien's eyes narrowed.
Before Sydney or Hunter could speak, Davey hugged Hunter's neck and said, "Uncle and Aunty are here on a date."
Julien's expression shifted.
Uncle and Aunty? On a date?
Julien looked at Hunter and Sydney incredulously.
Were they officially together?
Sydney did not understand why Julien looked so shocked, and she cocked her head in confusion.
However, Hunter understood why and cleared his throat. "No, don't listen to the kid. Sydney and I are just here to talk."
He could not have Julien ask whether he planned to pursue Sydney.
What if Sydney freaked out after learning about his feelings for her and refused to see him in the future?
Julien looked down, hiding the storm in his eyes.
A talk?
Why did they have to talk in an amusement park at night?
"Let's go inside, Hunter. We'll play with Davey for a while before we talk." Sydney ignored Julien and said to Hunter after looking at the time.
Hunter wanted nothing more than to leave Julien, so he nodded with a smile. "Sure. Well then, we won't disturb your inspection, Julien. Let's go, Sydney."
Sydney hummed and walked to the entrance of the amusement park with him.
Julien looked at their large and small backs and had to admit that they really looked harmonious. It was like they were a family.
However, it made him feel very uncomfortable. He wanted to replace Hunter with himself and replace that child with the one in Sydney's belly.
"Julien, should we go in as well?" Zach, who had remained silent, suddenly piped up.
'Ugh, President Flint is so useless. I thought he'd be able to pull Mr. Cohen and Ms. Raines apart, but he didn't do anything.
'Sure enough, the biggest reason is that President Flint hasn't realized the person he loves is Ms. Raines.
'President Flint is always a genius when it comes to everything else. Not even the old foxes in the board of directors can win against him. However, he's so confused when it comes to relationships. He can't even tell who he actually loves.'
Zach was sure that besides him, all the friends around Julien could tell that he loved Sydney, and only Julien himself could not see it. Zach wanted to tell Julien but was afraid of Lyra coming after him if he did.
How could an assistant like him fight against Lyra who was backed by the Madden family and Prison Corporation? That was why he could only remain silent and wait for Julien to notice his feelings for Sydney.
He just did not know how long it would take.
"Let's go." Julien pursed his lips and replied.
Meanwhile, Sydney and Hunter came to the Ferris wheel with Davey.
Davey was not interested in other attractions, but he was quite interested in the Ferris wheel and wanted to ride in a compartment alone.
Even though Hunter and Sydney wanted to accompany him, he refused, saying that he did not want to disturb their date.
As Hunter watched Davey enter the Ferris wheel pod under the guidance of the staff, he thought to himself,' Nice going, kid!'
What a qualified wingman!
Despite thinking that, he put on an embarrassed look on his face. "Sorry, Sydney. It seems like Davey really thinks we're dating."
"It's fine. That's how kids are." Sydney waved and smiled it off, indicating that she did not mind.
Then, she looked at the public bench on her right and pointed at it. "Let's sit over there and wait for Davey."
"Sure." Hunter nodded and agreed.
Then, the two of them walked over.
Halfway to the bench, Hunter saw a cafe. Hence, he told Sydney to sit there and wait for him while he went to the store to buy them something to drink.
Sydney waited for a few minutes, only to see Hunter coming back with two cups of hot chocolate.
"Here, it's hot. I don't know what pregnant women can or can't eat, so I bought this to be safe. I hope you don't mind." Hunter passed one of the cups to Sydney.
Sydney took it with a smile. "Of course not. In fact, you're quite attentive. You must have learned it from your many ex-girlfriends, right?"
"Nope." Hunter sat down next to her and hurriedly explained, "Actually, I don't have many exes. I’ve only had two girlfriends before, but I'm pretty popular among the ladies, so I'm surrounded by girls. However, I promise you that I have nothing to do with them. The rumors about me having a lot of ex-girlfriends are fake. You have to believe me."
He held up his hand and swore with a very serious expression.
Sydney was a bit amused. "I didn't say I don't believe you. Why are you so serious?"
"I don't want you to misunderstand me." Hunter took a sip of his hot chocolate.
Sydney was confused. "Why?"
Hunter then turned his head and smiled warmly at her. "You'll find out next time."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Sydney raised her brows.
She did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt like he was hiding something in his smile.
