Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 104 Date

Seeing that Luke clearly had the intention but finally decided to give up, Mrs. Chase could not help but poke him in the head. "It’s because you're too apprehensive and timid that you always miss your chance with Syd."

"How can you blame me for that?" Luke was a little aggrieved.

Mrs. Chase rolled her eyes at him. "Of course, you're to blame. If you had pursued Syd boldly back then, she might have accepted you."

"It's not that simple." Luke smiled bitterly. "Not all girls can accept a male best friend as their boyfriend."

"But if you've never asked, how would you know she can't accept it?" Mrs. Chase's lips tugged.

Luke choked for a moment.

Mrs. Chase waved her hand in annoyance. "Alright, alright. Hurry up and go out. You're standing in the way here. I get annoyed just looking at you."

"You were the one who told me to come." Luke widened his eyes at her.

Mrs. Chase ignored him and pushed him out of the kitchen.

"That boy is hopeless. He's afraid of everything! What a disappointment!" Mrs. Chase shook her head helplessly. "It seems like I’ll have to step in as a

mother and help create opportunities for him."

At that thought, Mrs. Chase took out her phone and dialed a number. "Hello, Mr. Clarke? I heard that you own an equestrian park?"

"Yes. What's the matter?" A bright, middle-aged male voice sounded over the phone.

Mrs. Chase smiled. "Lend it to me for the weekend. I'm going to matchmake my son with my future daughter-in-law."

She planned to trick Luke and Syd to go horseback riding for two days and then arrange for some small scares and excitement for the two.

Then, perhaps their relationship would grow by leaps and bounds.

However, Mr. Clarke smiled apologetically. "I'm afraid I can't do that. Someone has already made a reservation."

Unhappy, Mrs. Chase furrowed her brows.

Who could be so inconsiderate?

How could they act ahead of her?

"How many people are there?" Mrs. Chase asked.

Mr. Clarke chuckled and replied, "Two. It seems like they're also there to cultivate their feelings."

"Only two?" Mrs. Chase's eyes lit up. "How about this? You talk to them and tell them that you have two more people going there for the weekend. I promise that my son and future daughter-in-law won't disturb them."

"Um..." Mr. Clarke was put in a tough spot.

Mrs. Chase planted her hands on her hips. "Clarke, have you forgotten how I once helped you?"

Mr. Clarke's smile suddenly brightened up. "Okay, okay. I'll put down my ego and talk to them, okay?"

"That's more like it." Mrs. Chase hung up the phone satisfyingly and then called Sydney and Luke for dinner.

After dinner, Sydney touched her bulging stomach and sat down on the sofa to digest the food. "Aunty, your cooking is as good as ever."

Mrs. Chase's eyes curved as she smiled. "Since you think my cooking is good, come back with Luke more often in the future. I'll cook for you whenever."

"Okay." Sydney nodded. "I’ll take you up on your offer."

"Great! I love cooking, but Luke and Mr. Chase are always away, so there's no one to eat my cooking." Mrs. Chase complained.

Luke, who was peeling an apple, rolled his eyes when he heard her. "Mom, what nonsense are you saying? You're the one who keeps going on shopping trips and doesn't have time to cook. Why are you blaming Dad and me?"

"Be quiet, you little brat. Do you want a beating?" Mrs. Chase huffed and swung her fist.

Luke stopped peeling the apple and quickly jumped away.

While dodging, his mouth continued to mock, "Can't hit me. Can't hit me!"

Sydney watched the mother and son fighting and held her stomach in laughter.

The atmosphere in the living room was warm and happy.

Soon, it was dark.

Sydney looked at the time. Seeing that it was almost 8 p.m., she said her goodbyes.

Mrs. Chase wanted to make her stay the night, but Sydney refused.

"Luke, send Syd back." Mrs. Chase gave Luke a push.

"I'd do it without you having to tell me." Luke grabbed the car keys from the coffee table. "Let's go, darling."

"Okay." Sydney nodded and waved at Mrs. Chase. "Bye, Aunty!"

"Bye." Mrs. Chase waved back.

Sydney followed Luke out of the villa, got into the car, and left.

An hour later, they arrived at Shallow Bay.

Sydney unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the car door. "I'll go now."

"Okay," Luke answered

Sydney closed the car door, walked around the front of the car, and went into the building.

At that moment, Luke received a text message from Mrs. Chase. [Son, go on a date with Syd at Mr. Clarke's equestrian park on the weekend. I've talked to Mr. Clark, and the rooms in the villa are prepared. I believe that you'll be able to get Syd. Go for it!]

The corners of Luke's mouth twitched.

His mother was trying to set him up with his darling.

However, a date?

Luke's eyes flashed. He rolled down the window to see Sydney, who was already entering the building, and clenched his fists. He summoned his courage and shouted, "Darling!"

"What?" Sydney stopped and turned around.

Luke took a deep breath and tried to show her his usual casual smile so she would not be able to tell that he was nervous. "My mom just sent me a message. She wants us to go to Mr. Clarke's equestrian park this weekend."

"Huh?"

He spoke so fast that she could not hear him.

Luke pulled his hair before he simply opened the car door and got out. He walked towards her, stopped in front of her, and repeated what he said. "My mom has booked a trip to Mr. Clarke's equestrian park and wanted to go horseback riding. However, she happens to be going shopping in Europe this weekend, so she told us to go horseback riding on her behalf so the money won't be wasted."

Luke did not dare to look into her eyes as he spoke, for fear that she would see that he was lying.

However, Sydney did not notice it either. The words ' horseback riding' had caught her full attention, and her eyes lit up as she nodded. "Sure."

She had not ridden a horse in a long time, ever since she married Julien.

Thinking about it now, she was really stupid back then. She gave up so much fun for a man who did not love her.

"That's great. I'll pick you up on the weekend." Luke sighed in relief and said with a grin.

Sydney hummed in agreement. "I'll go up now."

"Go ahead." Luke nodded. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Sydney was just about to turn around.

Suddenly, a thought rose in Luke's mind, and he immediately called out to her. "Wait."

"Is there anything else?" Sydney looked at him in confusion.

Luke averted his eyes. "There's something on your head."

"My head?" Sydney raised her hand and touched her hair. "No there isn't."

"It's not there. Don't move. I'll get it for you," Luke said.

"Okay." Sydney stood still obediently.

Luke stretched out his hand towards her head, and his body slowly leaned towards her at the same time. Then, he lowered his head, and his lips slowly approached her forehead.

Just as his lips were about to touch her forehead, she suddenly asked, "Are you done yet?"

Luke stopped in time and forced a smile on his face." Done."

He put his hand down, took a step back, and retreated to the spot he stood in earlier. He sighed bitterly in his heart, lamenting.

He almost kissed her just now.

However, it was good that he did not. What if his kiss scared her and she refused to go horseback riding for the weekend?

Across the street in a black MPV, Julien looked at the two people standing under the building with a gloomy look on his face. His hands on his lap clenched tightly, and a trace of anger overcame him.

He did not know why, but he wanted to kill Luke the moment he saw Luke kissing Sydney.

"Drive!" Julien pursed his lips and ordered in an icy voice.
