Hunter could not help but raise his hand and place it under his nose, where he smelled a faint fragrance.
He knew that it was the scent of Sydney's perfume that remained on his hand when she shook hands with him.
The fragrance was fresh and elegant like Sydney's temperament, making him want to smell it even more.
Thus, that was what Hunter did. He lowered his head and smelled the fragrance on his hand, and an image of him hugging Sydney and burying his head in the cross of her neck, sniffing the perfume on her body came to mind.
For a while, Hunter's ears grew redder and redder, and his heart started to race.
At that moment, the elevator in front of him dinged open.
Luke came out from inside carrying a thermos bucket and almost bumped into Hunter because he did not expect anyone to be in front.
Fortunately, he stopped in time which prevented that from happening.
"It's you?" Luke saw that it was Hunter in front of him and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing here?"
The tender picture in Hunter's mind was broken, and his expression twisted slightly.
Then, when he thought of the relationship between Luke and Sydney, he felt even more upset. He snorted instead of answering Luke and directly went past him into the elevator.
Luke tilted his head in confusion. "What's up with him?"
He did not remember offending Hunter.
Why did Hunter look at him like he was the enemy?
"Nutjob!" Luke could not figure it out and muttered. After rolling his eyes, he walked toward Sydney's office.
"Darling." Luke pushed the door in.
Sydney was handling documents when she heard his voice and raised her head. "Why are you here? Are you done with your company's business?"
Ever since Skylight got back on track, Luke came here less often.
After all, he had his own company that needed him to manage.
"There's nothing much today, so I came to send you something. My mom made braised pork chop and told me to bring some over because she knows it's your favorite." Luke raised the thermos bucket in his hands.
Sydney's eyes lit up. "Braised pork chop? I haven't eaten that in a long time. Help me thank your mother
for this."
"Come and try it before it goes cold." Luke placed the thermos on her desk and opened it.
The moment he did, a strong fragrance filled the air.
When Sydney smelled it, her smile suddenly froze and she paled at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, she covered her mouth, stood up and pushed the chair away, and ran to the washroom.
"What's wrong?" Luke was stunned by her reaction. When he heard her vomit, he snapped back to his senses and hurriedly put down the plate in his hand to rush to the washroom.
As he stood at the washroom door, he saw Sydney propped up on the basin, bending over and vomiting her guts out.
"Darling, what's wrong with you?" Luke frowned, his face full of worry.
Sydney adjusted her breathing, closed her eyes slightly, and leaned against the wall beside the washstand. Then, she replied weakly, "I'm fine."
"You call this fine? You almost passed out from vomiting and your face is pale as a sheet of paper. No, I need to call the doctor." Luke took out his phone and was just about to make a call.
Sydney opened her eyes and reached out to press his hand down. "No need, Luke. I'm not sick." "You're not sick?" Luke looked at her in confusion. "
Then why...?"
Sydney sighed. "Since it's come to this point, I won't hide it from you. You'll find out sooner or later anyway. I'm pregnant."
"Oh, you're pregnant. I thought you..." Just then, Luke suddenly reacted to the words he were saying and his eyes widened. His voice raised an octave. "What?
You're pregnant?"
Sydney nodded with a hum.
