"I don't know either, but he looks to be of high status. He drove a luxury car and wore a floral shirt..."
A floral shirt?
The corners of Hunter's mouth twitched as a figure instantly appeared in his mind.
"I know who it is. Where is he?" Hunter asked.
The butler said, "Outside."
"Invite him in. I'll be right downstairs," Hunter instructed.
The butler agreed and went down.
Hunter picked up the phone again, said a few words to the person on the other end, and hung up the call. Then, he closed the door to the room and went downstairs.
He wondered why Luke suddenly came to find him.
"Luke." Hunter came downstairs to see Luke on the sofa. He scratched his hair and asked, "What do you want from me to come all the way to my house?"
Luke put down the coffee cup in his hand, stood up and crossed the table, then angrily stalked toward Hunter.
When he walked up to Hunter, he grabbed the latter's tie and asked loudly, "Where's that man?"
Hunter was stunned. "What man?" "That son of a b*tch who bullied my darling that night! " Luke roared with red eyes.
Hunter's expression changed when he heard this. " What did you say? Sydney was bullied?"
"Yes. On the night of my birthday, my darling got drunk and was bullied by your friend. Now, she's even..."
"She's what?" Hunter tore Luke's hand away and grabbed his collar in return, asking urgently, "What happened to her?"
Luke looked at Hunter's anxious appearance and found it a little strange.
'He seems a little too concerned about my darling.'
However, Luke did not think much about it. He
pushed Hunter away, clenched his fists, and replied," My darling is pregnant!"
"What?" Hunter's eyes widened.
Sydney... was pregnant?
"Are you telling me who that man is or not?" Luke yelled.
Hunter's mouth opened.
How was he supposed to tell?
That person was Julien.
Seeing Hunter remain silent and lower his head to think, Luke became even more furious until his fists began to shake. "Hunter Cohen, are you covering for that man?"
"No..."
"If you're not, then tell me. It's bad enough that he didn't show himself after bullying my darling, but is he planning to hide now that she's pregnant?" Luke asked between gritted teeth.
Hunter’s expression was odd. "No, he's not in the country now."
"He's overseas?" Luke cracked his knuckles. "Hah, does he think he can escape responsibility by running abroad? Don't even think about it. Call him right now and tell him to get back here!"
A trace of guilt flashed in Hunter's eyes. "I'm afraid that won't work. Although I'm his friend, I'm not a particularly close friend. He's quite mysterious, so I can't guarantee that I can get in touch with him."
"What?" Luke frowned.
Hunter coughed. "Well, you should leave first. I'll try contacting him later. I'll tell you when I get a hold of him, okay?"
"No, I'm not going. Give me his number. I'll contact him myself." Luke held out his hand.
Hunter did not expect Luke to be so stubborn and felt overwhelmed for a moment.
How would he dare to give out Julien's phone number? If Luke and Sydney found out that the man that night was Julien, no one could predict what would happen.
Moreover, he was selfish at heart. He did not want Sydney to know that the child in her belly belonged to Julien.
After thinking about it, Hunter narrowed his eyes. ' Fine, fine, I'll give it to you. Hurry up and leave."
He went to the coffee table, grabbed a pen and paper from the drawer at the bottom, wrote a string of numbers, and handed it to Luke.
Luke glanced at it. "What's his name?"
