Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 178 Date

When Hunter saw that Sydney took the flowers, he let out a breath of relief.

He then laughed nonchalantly and said, "Other girls can never compare to you. Since we’re partners now, I have to put in some effort to maintain our relationship. Flowers are a must."

Sydney smiled. "You do know how to sweet talk. The flowers are beautiful, thank you."

She looked at the white roses in her arms.

Hunter pulled a chair and sat down. "I’m glad you like them."

"What are you ordering?" Sydney put down the flowers and handed him the menu.

Hunter took the menu and ordered a Blue Mountain Coffee.

Sydney ordered a glass of milk.

Very quickly, the waiter delivered their drinks.

Hunter looked at the milk in Sydney's hands and thought about her pregnancy. He hesitated before asking, "How are you?"

"Huh?" Sydney looked at him. "What are you talking about?" "Your pregnancy. I heard that the initial period is the hardest. Are you having a hard time?" Hunter asked.

Sydney could tell that he was concerned about her and smiled. "I'm alright. Certain smells make me uncomfortable, but I'm fine otherwise."

"That's good, then." Hunter nodded and stirred the coffee in his cup. "What are you planning to do about this child? Did my friend tell you what he thinks?"

"He did,” Sydney answered after sipping on some milk.

Hunter looked at her. "You...”

"I don't plan to keep this child," Sydney lowered her gaze as she answered.

Hunter was shocked. "You're planning for an abortion?”

"Yes. I don't want my baby to be an illegitimate child, so I can only choose abortion,” Sydney said as she held the glass of milk.

Hunter agreed. "That’s true."

Sydney did not know that her unborn child belonged to Julien and thought that it was a random stranger's.

Even if she found out that the child belonged to Julien, she would still make the same decision. After all, the child would only make the relationship between her, Julien, and Lyra more complicated. The child would also be pointed fingers at.

Abortion was the right decision.

"Since you've made up your mind, then I won’t say anything to advise you otherwise. When is the surgery? I can accompany you," Hunter asked with a smile.

Hunter felt that Sydney's decision to abort the child was good for him.

He liked her, but not another man’s child.

"This weekend. But you don’t have to accompany me. Luke will go with me.” Sydney smiled.

Hunter pursed his lips. "Him? Why him?"

"Hey, I didn't ask you out to talk about this." Sydney waved her hand and tried to change the topic.

Hunter shrugged. "What do you want to talk about?”

Sydney took out the necklace from her neck and showed him.

Hunter looked at it and asked, "Isn’t this the one Mrs. Madden wears?"

The last time when he accompanied Sydney to the hospital for her injured leg, they ran into Mrs. Madden in the car park.

He noticed the necklace on Mrs. Madden back then.

Sydney smiled. "Look carefully. Is this really Mrs. Madden's?"

Hunter raised his eyebrow and studied the necklace carefully. He finally noted the difference.

"There are a few differences.”

"That's right. This isn't Mrs. Madden’s necklace, but this is strongly related to her. They are a pair of necklaces meant for a mother and her daughter. Mrs. Madden has one, and I have the other. More than twenty years ago, Brandon Madden gave this to their eldest daughter, Clarice Madden,” Sydney leaned back as she explained.

Hunter came to a sudden realization and said, "Isn't Clarice Madden dead? Why do you have this necklace? Are you Clarice Madden?”

Ever Since the Cohen family decided to go against the Maddens, he did a check on the entire family and knew what happened between the Maddens and the Raines twenty years ago.

When he heard the name Clarice Madden, he naturally knew who she was.

"What? Nonsense!" Sydney rolled her eyes at him.

Her mother was pregnant with her for 10 months and gave birth to her with great difficulty.

How could she be Clarice Madden?

Hunter stared at her face. "I'm serious. You and Mrs. Madden look rather alike.”

"It's just a coincidence. So many people in this world look alike. They can't all be related to each other, can they?” Sydney asked with indifference.

Hunter smiled. "You're right."

"My dad took this necklace from Clarice Madden and it has been with us since then. Did you see the statement that Trison Corporation released? They are looking for a girl with a special necklace," Sydney asked.

Hunter nodded. "I saw it."

"When I got hold of this necklace, I went to the Downtown Jewelry Shop to ask about this necklace. Mrs. Madden somehow found out about this and assumed that Clarice Madden is still alive. Therefore, Trison Corporation released a statement like that to look for her."

"I see. I thought Brandon Madden is looking for a second wife," Hunter said in revelation.

Sydney laughed at his words, notably amused.

When Hunter saw her bright smile, his eyes darkened. He cleared his throat and quickly looked away.

"Clare Madden is dead. Are they looking for her ghost?"

"No, I don't think Clarice Madden is dead. I'm also guessing that my dad might not have killed her back then. I asked you out today for this matter. Can you help me find out if Clarice Madden is still alive? If she is, then where is she?" Sydney's eyebrows were in a tight-knit.

Suddenly, a voice interrupted them. "Ms. Raines, Mr. Cohen!"

A flash of annoyance appeared in Hunter's eyes.

Sydney pursed her lips and looked toward the voice. Lyra Madden was walking toward them.

"Great. The one we hate is here.” Hunter sighed.

Sydney smiled behind her glass of milk. "What can we do? Port City is too small for us."

"Ms. Raines, Mr. Cohen, are you here on a date?" When Lyra came to both of them, she saw the bouquet of flowers next to Sydney. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Hunter looked at her. "Yes, we're on a date. Ms. Madden, can you get lost? You're bothering us."

"Oh, my apologies. I didn't know." Lyra smiled in embarrassment.

Another pair of footsteps approached them. "Lyra?"

"Julien, I’m here!" Lyra waved toward the main entrance of the coffee shop.

Julien looked over and unexpectedly saw Sydney. He was taken aback.

Why was she here?

He then noticed that another person was sitting opposite Sydney.

The person had his back against him. Although Julien could not see his face, he could tell that it was a man.

Were they here on a date?

When Julien thought about that, he pursed his lips and walked over.

When he got closer, he noted that the man was not Luke, but Hunter.

Hunter saw the surprise in Julien's eyes and waved at him with a smile. "Julien, what a coincidence. Are you here with Ms. Madden for a cup of coffee?"

Julien nodded and took a sideways glance at Sydney, who was sipping on her milk. His tone was sour. "You both?"

"Julien, Ms.Raines and Mr.Cohen are here on a date. Look at the flowers." Lyra tugged on his arm and pointed at the flowers on the table.

Julien's pupils constricted and something gripped his heart. "Date?"

Sydney and Hunter?

"Yes." Lyra smiled as she nodded, but anyone could tell that she was scheming something.

Sydney caught it and her gaze became rather chilly. Just as she was about to say something, Julien spoke first and his tone was cold, "Sydney, does Luke know that you're out with Hunter on a date?"

Before he divorced her, she already had a lot of male friends. Now that she was together with Luke, she went on a date with another man.

She was still as feisty as ever.
