The weekend.
Under Mrs. Chase's persistent urging, Sydney and Luke came to Mr. Clarke's equestrian park.
The equestrian park was huge, and it was equivalent to at least eight to nine football fields combined. On the other side, there was also a huge golf course.
Behind the gold course were villas for accommodation.
A mountain with an altitude of seven to eight hundred meters above sea level could be seen behind the villas, and an observation deck was specially built at the mountain top. The observation deck was said to be an excellent spot for stargazing and sunrise.
On the way there, Luke chatted endlessly about what to do for the next two days. He was extremely excited. On the contrary, Sydney appeared listless as she leaned against her seat, her face looking paler than usual.
Luke noticed it and put away his excitement. "Darling, you look unwell. Are you feeling okay?"
"Just feeling a little tight in my chest. It must be my motion sickness," Sydney leaned her head against the car window, closed her eyes, and said in a weak voice.
Luke frowned. "Motion sickness? I didn't know that you have this problem."
Sydney opened her eyes and something flickered across her eyes.
Indeed, she never had this problem.
However, she was now pregnant. All sorts of smells would make her uncomfortable, including the smell of engine and gasoline.
She could not tell Luke about this.
"I'm fine. Maybe I caught a cold."
Sydney bit her lip.
Luke did not have any doubts and nodded. "The temperature has dropped a lot recently, and it’s easy to get sick with this weather. When we reach the villa later, I'll get a doctor to take a look at you.”
"No need!" Sydney rejected his offer immediately. "I just need some rest. I even brought medicine."
Sydney patted her own bag to reassure him.
Luke naturally said nothing else, since she seemed well prepared.
Soon enough, they arrived at the villa.
Luke stopped the car in front of the villa, then stepped down to take their luggage from the trunk.
Sydney also came over to give him a hand.
Just as she wanted to lift the luggage, Luke blocked her. "Let me do it. Since you're not feeling well, go take a rest in the room. Mr. Clarke said that the second floor is occupied by another couple, so he asked us to go to the third floor."
"Alright." Sydney did not reject him. She nodded and walked toward the villa.
She was indeed feeling unwell. Her head was spinning, and she just wanted to lie down.
After Sydney left, Luke moved the luggage himself.
Luckily, they did not have much luggage. Each one of them had one, and he managed to move them all in a single trip.
There were five rooms on the third floor, and Luke chose a room opposite Sydney's.
After moving the luggage, he went to the balcony and called his mother.
At the same time, a black Maybach drove over from a distance and stopped in front of the villa.
Julien got out of the car, then went around to the passenger's door.
Lyra bent as she came out of the car. After looking left and right, she said in surprise, "Wow, the air here is so fresh."
Julien agreed. "It's not bad."
"Julien, I think we made the right trip." Lyra hugged his arm happily.
Julien patted her hand. "Let go first, Lyra. I have to move the luggage."
"Oh." Lyra obediently let go of his arm.
Julien walked to the trunk with Lyra following behind him.
When they reached the back of the car, Lyra saw the Mercedes parked by the side and tugged on Julien's sleeve. "Julien, does that car belong to the other couple?"
"I think so." Julien threw a glance at the car without much care.
Lyra pouted as she felt a little upset. "I wanted to have you all to myself this weekend. Can't believe that it didn't happen in the end."
"They are the children of Mr. Clarke's good friend, so we have to bear with it for his sake. He said that the couple will be staying on the third floor, so they won't be bothering us." Julien rubbed her head gently.
Lyra tugged on his arm and said coquettishly, "I didn't mean anything, just a little complaint."
