Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 1148

Sydney took the basket. It was heavy. Sydney frowned. She guessed the basket weighed more than ten pounds.

Luke helped her put the basket on her desk. "It's no big deal. My mom knows you like these products from the countryside, so she brought these from my grandma’s hometown and asked me to bring these to you. My mom doesn't get to go to my grandma's very often. She doesn't know when she's going to visit my grandma next, so she brought quite a lot. She hopes you can enjoy them whenever you want to have them."

Sydney laughed softly. "Sounds like Auntie made a special trip to the countryside to get me these. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude."

"It's no big deal." Luke took an apple from the plate on the desk and took a bite. He leaned against the desk and said nonchalantly, "My mom thinks of you as her own daughter. She knew you loved them, so she brought you some. She hopes you like them."

"I know Auntie loves me. She always brings me all kinds of goodies and I rarely give her any gifts. I feel guilty." Sydney patted the basket.

Luke chewed on his apple and replied in a muffled voice, "If you feel guilty, go see my mom when you have time. You don't need to take any gifts. She doesn't lack anything. You don't have time to go to the countryside. How are you going to get those things? My mom will be happy if you go to see her."

"You're right. I'll go see her when I have time." Sydney put the bamboo basket on the floor. "Tell Auntie I'm thankful."

"Okay. These aren't expensive things. No need to thank her." Luke waved his hand.

Then he thought of something. He pointed to the basket on the floor and said, "My mom brought something for Julien, too. She wants you to make soup for Julien with it."

"Make soup for Julien?" said Sydney, looking down at the basket on the floor. "Auntie asked me to make soup for Julien. What did she bring for Julien?"

'It's not an aphrodisiac tonic, is it?'

She had heard of elderly people preparing those for their sons or sons-in-law.

'Is Auntie implying that Julien and I should have a baby?'

Sydney blushed at the thought. She felt embarrassed.

Luke didn't know what Sydney was thinking. He didn't notice the embarrassed look on her face. He finished the apple and threw the core into the trash can. Then he clapped his hands and answered Sydney's question, "I don't know what it is. My mom says it's good for bone healing."

"Good for bone healing?" Sydney was confused.

'Not an aphrodisiac tonic?' She blinked and was dumbfounded.

Seeing Sydney freeze, Luke reached out and waved his hand in front of her eyes and asked, "Syd, what's wrong with you?"

Sydney blinked and snapped back to her senses. She then grabbed his hand and smiled awkwardly. "Nothing. I just thought of something."

"What did you think of?" Luke asked.

Sydney's eyes flickered. "Nothing. Why did Auntie bring Julien this stuff? Forget what I was thinking."

Sydney's thoughts embarrassed her. She couldn't tell Luke.

She felt ashamed.

'How do I think of an aphrodisiac tonic?' Sydney slapped her burned face and thought to herself.

'It's all Julien's fault. Julien always talks to me about those things and I'm misled. I always think of that...

'Absolutely, it's Julien's fault!' Sydney compressed her lips and thought.
