Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 179 I'm in Love With Sydney

When Sydney heard his questioning, her face hardened and she stared at him coldly. "President Flint, what does this have to do with you? Who are you to me? Why do you care?"

"She’s right, Julien. You care too much." Hunter looked at Julien with a half-smile.

Julien pursed his lips. "Hunter, don't you know that she has a boyfriend?"

"I know." Hunter shrugged.

Julien narrowed his eyes. "You know and you still..."

"Who said that we must be dating when we hang out?" Hunter shrugged and looked at Lyra condescendingly. "Oh right. You said it."

"I said it, but Mr. Cohen admitted it as well.” Lyra tightened her arms around Julien's.

Hunter smiled. "I admit it, but a date can have many types. Who said that Sydney and I must be dating like you both are? Can’t we just be on a date to discuss some matters?” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Lyra choked on her words. "What about the flowers? Why would you have flowers if you're just here to discuss some matters?"

"What's wrong with the flowers? They aren’t red roses. If I’m out with Sydney on a date, then why don't I give her red roses instead?" Hunter asked her in return.

Lyra was speechless while Julien frowned.

Could they be making blind assumptions?

When Julien thought about this, the uneasiness in his heart was reduced by a fair bit.

"That's enough, Hunter." Sydney stood up and swept a glance at Julien and Lyra. “You don’t have to explain anything. They have nasty thoughts in their heads, and everything they see is wrong. There's no point in explaining."

"Ms.Raines, are you calling us nasty?” Lyra widened her eyes.

Sydney ignored her and looked at Hunter instead. " The matter I told you about just now..."

"I know. I'll look into it." Hunter nodded.

Sydney smiled. "Thank you. Let me know if you find anything. Let's go."

"Okay." Hunter stood up.

Sydney hugged the flowers in her arms and left the coffee shop with Hunter by her side.

When Lyra looked at their silhouette, she gritted her teeth. "Julien, they..."

"Enough." Julien frowned as he interrupted her. "They are right. Our words will reflect our thoughts. Lyra, don't make blind assumptions next time."

Julien admitted that he was at fault as well. He should not have listened to Lyra's words blindly.

"Julien, are you blaming me?" Lyra looked at him with disbelief.

Julien blinked. "No, I just think that we shouldn't jump to conclusions before having a clear idea of what's going on. This isn't fair to others. Lyra, you shouldn’t be impulsive next time."

Lyra lowered her head in despair. "I didn’t want to. Hunter himself said that they are on a date."

"He's just messing with you." Julien rubbed his eyebrows.

Lyra stomped her foot. "He's too much."

"It's alright. Let's go. Didn't you say you want coffee from this shop?" Julien was obviously changing the topic.

Lyra noticed it and nodded. "Okay."

Outside the coffee shop, Hunter volunteered to send Sydney back but was rejected since she drove here herself.

Hunter could only let her be.

When he saw Sydney leaving with his bouquet of flowers, he whistled and felt happiness all over his chest.

He was not on a date with Sydney, but she accepted his flowers.

The next time, he would do the same. With a bouquet of flowers every time they met, he would slowly make Sydney change her mind about him. One day, would they go on an actual date?

Oh right, there was Luke to think about.

Hunter smiled.

Of course, Hunter could tell that Sydney only saw Luke as a friend. There was no romantic relationship between them.

He was still investigating if Sydney was really together with Luke.

Hunter leaned against the car door and looked toward the coffee shop. He twirled his car keys around his finger playfully, as though he was waiting for someone.

After half an hour, Julien and Lyra came out of the coffee shop.

Julien narrowed his eyes when he saw Hunter.

Lyra saw Hunter as well. "Mr. Cohen, why are you alone? Where’s Ms.Raines?"

"She left." Hunter looked right at Lyra, yet there was no friendliness in his tone of voice or expression. "Ms. Madden, I have something to say to President Flint. Can you leave us alone for a while?”

"I'm Julien’s fiancee. Is there anything that I shouldn’t listen to?" Lyra said.

Hunter said firmly, "There is." "You..."

"Enough, Lyra. Go wait for me in the car. I’ll be there in a bit." Julien pointed at the car.

Lyra was unwilling and threw Hunter a glare. However, she still went to the car in the end.

There was only Julien and Hunter left.

Both of them were tall and handsome, and they both had extraordinary demeanors. They were even comparable to male models, and they turned heads by simply standing around.

Both of them were already used to people’s glances. They did not bother and just looked at each other.

"What do you have to say?” Julien started the conversation first.

"I’m in love with Sydney," Hunter said with a smile

Julien's expression instantly hardened. "What did you just say?”

"I said, I’m in love with Sydney,” Hunter repeated.

Julien grabbed his collar. "You fell in love with Sydney?"

"Yes." Hunter looked back at Julien, his gaze steady.

Julien was stunned. He thought that Hunter was just joking at first, but now, he could tell that Hunter was serious.

Hunter fell in love with Sydney.

How could that be possible, and how could he?

Julien felt a surge of anger in his heart. Aside from anger, he also felt betrayed. His expression was twisted as he asked, "Do you know what you’re talking about?”

"Of course." Hunter pulled his collar away from Julien and stepped back. He then straightened his shirt. "I’m serious. I love Sydney."

"The Sydney you love is my ex-wife." Julien clenched his fist and his eyes were cold.

"I know," Hunter said nonchalantly, "You said that she's your ex-wife yourself. Since she's your ex, then she has nothing to do with you. It's also not wrong for me to fall in love with her. Why are you so angry?"

Hunter looked at Julien with a half-smile.

Julien was taken aback.

Hunter was right. He divorced Sydney long ago, and they now had nothing to do with each other. Of course, Hunter was also not in the wrong for loving Sydney. After all, he did not betray him.

Why did he get so angry?

Julien calmed down gradually.

His rationality was asking him to calm down, and it was telling him that Hunter was free to fall in love with anyone he liked. However, when he thought that the one he loved happened to be Sydney, he felt an urge to stop him.

He vaguely knew the answer to this, but he did not want to see through his own heart. If he did, he might not be able to bear the consequences.

Julien took a deep breath to suppress his anger. He then looked at Hunter coldly. "Even if Sydney has nothing to do with me, you cannot love her. She’s Luke’s girlfriend."

Hunter smiled. "I bet you don't know this yet. Sydney isn’t together with Luke. They are just a fake couple."

"What?" Julien was shocked. “Fake?"

"That's right." Hunter nodded. "The way Sydney looks at him is purely just how a friend looks at another. How can they be together? They are just putting on a show."

When Julien heard him, he realized that Hunter might be right. A wave of joy washed over him, yet he remained indifferent to it on the surface.
