Chapter 164 Furious Luke
Chapter 164 Furious Luke
Hunter could not help but raise his hand and place it under his nose, where he smelled a faint fragrance.
He knew that it was the scent of Sydney's perfume that remained on his hand when she shook hands with him.
The fragrance was fresh and elegant like Sydney's temperament, making him want to smell it even more.
Thus, that was what Hunter did. He lowered his head and smelled the fragrance on his hand, and an image of him hugging Sydney and burying his head in the cross of her neck, sniffing the perfume on her body came to mind.
For a while, Hunter's ears grew redder and redder, and his heart started to race.
At that moment, the elevator in front of him dinged open.
Luke came out from inside carrying a thermos bucket and almost bumped into Hunter because he did not expect anyone to be in front.
Fortunately, he stopped in time which prevented that from happening.
"It's you?" Luke saw that it was Hunter in front of him and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing here?"
The tender picture in Hunter's mind was broken, and his expression twisted slightly.
Then, when he thought of the relationship between Luke and Sydney, he felt even more upset. He snorted instead of answering Luke and directly went past him into the elevator.
Luke tilted his head in confusion. "What's up with him?"
He did not remember offending Hunter.
Why did Hunter look at him like he was the enemy?
"Nutjob!" Luke could not figure it out and muttered. After rolling his eyes, he walked toward Sydney's office.
"Darling." Luke pushed the door in.
Sydney was handling documents when she heard his voice and raised her head. "Why are you here? Are you done with your company's business?"
Ever since Skylight got back on track, Luke came here less often.
After all, he had his own company that needed him to manage.
"There's nothing much today, so I came to send you something. My mom made braised pork chop and told me to bring some over because she knows it's your favorite." Luke raised the thermos bucket in his hands.
Sydney's eyes lit up. "Braised pork chop? I haven't eaten that in a long time. Help me thank your mother
for this."
"Come and try it before it goes cold." Luke placed the thermos on her desk and opened it. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
The moment he did, a strong fragrance filled the air.
When Sydney smelled it, her smile suddenly froze and she paled at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, she covered her mouth, stood up and pushed the chair away, and ran to the washroom.
"What's wrong?" Luke was stunned by her reaction. When he heard her vomit, he snapped back to his senses and hurriedly put down the plate in his hand to rush to the washroom.
As he stood at the washroom door, he saw Sydney propped up on the basin, bending over and vomiting her guts out.
"Darling, what's wrong with you?" Luke frowned, his face full of worry.
Sydney adjusted her breathing, closed her eyes slightly, and leaned against the wall beside the washstand. Then, she replied weakly, "I'm fine."
"You call this fine? You almost passed out from vomiting and your face is pale as a sheet of paper. No, I need to call the doctor." Luke took out his phone and was just about to make a call.
Sydney opened her eyes and reached out to press his hand down. "No need, Luke. I'm not sick." "You're not sick?" Luke looked at her in confusion. "
Then why...?"
Sydney sighed. "Since it's come to this point, I won't hide it from you. You'll find out sooner or later anyway. I'm pregnant."
"Oh, you're pregnant. I thought you..." Just then, Luke suddenly reacted to the words he were saying and his eyes widened. His voice raised an octave. "What?
You're pregnant?"
Sydney nodded with a hum.
Luke was dumbfounded. It took a long time before he found his voice and asked hoarsely, "How long?"
"Almost two months," Sydney lowered her eyes and answered.
Two months...
That was just after her divorce from Julien.
Luke's throat bobbed and his tone was a little sour. ' It's Julien’s, right?"
"Let's go out and talk." Sydney did not answer for the time being.
Luke nodded and helped her out.
He helped her to the sofa in the rest area and let her sit down, then poured her a glass of water. "Drink some water. Your stomach must be very uncomfortable after throwing up. Drinking some water will make you feel much better." "Thanks." Sydney smiled and took the cup. After taking a sip, she answered his question from earlier," It's not Julien's."
Thinking about it now, it was funny. She was married to Julien for six years, but he never touched her before. In addition to not loving her, he also kept his body for Lyra.
How could she be pregnant with Julien's child?
"What?" Luke was dumbfounded again. His mouth opened and closed several times before he asked with difficulty, "If it's not Julien's, then whose is it?"
If it was Julien's, he could accept it even though it was hard. After all, Julien and her were married before. It was not strange for her to be pregnant with Julien's child.
However, she said that it was not Julien's, which made him uncomfortable. He was very upset with the man who made her pregnant.
"I don't know who he is either. I don't even know his name, and I already forgot what he looks like," Sydney rubbed her stomach and said with a bitter smile, "I was stunned and afraid after the whole thing, so I just glanced at the man and left. I didn't even remember to ask his name."
Although she asked him before when she added his contact, he did not want to tell her.
Thus, she still did not know the person's true identity.
Luke held her hand and asked urgently, "Darling, were
you bullied by him?"
She did not know who the child's father was. She must have been bullied. He could not think of any other possibility.
However, Sydney shook her head. "I wasn't bullied. I was drunk and somehow got together with a man. It was on the night of your birthday."
Luke remembered it. "So, the mark I saw on your neck the next day wasn't what you said it was..."
"I'm sorry, Luke. I lied to you," Sydney said apologetically.
She thought that what happened that night was over. As long as she did not say anything, no one would know.
However, she did not expect that she would get pregnant. In that case, she naturally could no longer hide what happened.
Luke clenched his fist and pounded it on the coffee table.
Sydney was startled. "Luke, what are you doing?"
"I'm angry. I'm angry at myself for not being by your side back then. If I were, you wouldn't have..." Luke lowered his head and his voice choked up, blaming himself.
Sydney grabbed his hand to check if it was injured.
When she saw that it was fine, she sighed with relief."
Well, I don't blame you. It only happened because I drank too much."
"Darling, did you check who that man was afterward? What if that man's appearance wasn't an accident?" Luke asked.
After all, Lyra and the others were in the clubhouse on his birthday.
What if that man was arranged by Lyra? That was what he was most worried about now.
Sydney's heart also trembled, but then she shook her head. "I asked Hunter to check. There was no problem. Also, that man is Hunter's friend, and I also added his contact. The method of using You2 Manufacturing and how to use Julien's land were all his ideas."
"Oh?" Luke raised his eyebrows in surprise. "It was him?"
Sydney hummed. "Yeah, so that night was really just an accident."
"Hmph, even if it's an accident, it's a fact that he bullied you. No, I have to go find Hunter and ask who that man is. I'm going to flush him out and give him a beating." Luke rushed out of the door before Sydney could stop him.
