Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 179

When Sydney heard his questioning, her face hardened and she stared at him coldly. "President Flint, what does this have to do with you? Who are you to me? Why do you care?"

"She’s right, Julien. You care too much." Hunter looked at Julien with a half-smile.

Julien pursed his lips. "Hunter, don't you know that she has a boyfriend?"

"I know." Hunter shrugged.

Julien narrowed his eyes. "You know and you still..."

"Who said that we must be dating when we hang out?" Hunter shrugged and looked at Lyra condescendingly. "Oh right. You said it."

"I said it, but Mr. Cohen admitted it as well.” Lyra tightened her arms around Julien's.

Hunter smiled. "I admit it, but a date can have many types. Who said that Sydney and I must be dating like you both are? Can’t we just be on a date to discuss some matters?”

Lyra choked on her words. "What about the flowers? Why would you have flowers if you're just here to discuss some matters?"

"What's wrong with the flowers? They aren’t red roses. If I’m out with Sydney on a date, then why don't I give her red roses instead?" Hunter asked her in return.

Lyra was speechless while Julien frowned.

Could they be making blind assumptions?

When Julien thought about this, the uneasiness in his heart was reduced by a fair bit.

"That's enough, Hunter." Sydney stood up and swept a glance at Julien and Lyra. “You don’t have to explain anything. They have nasty thoughts in their heads, and everything they see is wrong. There's no point in explaining."

"Ms.Raines, are you calling us nasty?” Lyra widened her eyes.

Sydney ignored her and looked at Hunter instead. " The matter I told you about just now..."

"I know. I'll look into it." Hunter nodded.

Sydney smiled. "Thank you. Let me know if you find anything. Let's go."

"Okay." Hunter stood up.

Sydney hugged the flowers in her arms and left the coffee shop with Hunter by her side.

When Lyra looked at their silhouette, she gritted her teeth. "Julien, they..."

"Enough." Julien frowned as he interrupted her. "They are right. Our words will reflect our thoughts. Lyra, don't make blind assumptions next time."

Julien admitted that he was at fault as well. He should not have listened to Lyra's words blindly.

"Julien, are you blaming me?" Lyra looked at him with disbelief.

Julien blinked. "No, I just think that we shouldn't jump to conclusions before having a clear idea of what's going on. This isn't fair to others. Lyra, you shouldn’t be impulsive next time."

Lyra lowered her head in despair. "I didn’t want to. Hunter himself said that they are on a date."

"He's just messing with you." Julien rubbed his eyebrows.

Lyra stomped her foot. "He's too much."

"It's alright. Let's go. Didn't you say you want coffee from this shop?" Julien was obviously changing the topic.

Lyra noticed it and nodded. "Okay."

Outside the coffee shop, Hunter volunteered to send Sydney back but was rejected since she drove here herself.

Hunter could only let her be.

When he saw Sydney leaving with his bouquet of flowers, he whistled and felt happiness all over his chest.

He was not on a date with Sydney, but she accepted his flowers.

The next time, he would do the same. With a bouquet of flowers every time they met, he would slowly make Sydney change her mind about him. One day, would they go on an actual date?

Oh right, there was Luke to think about.

Hunter smiled.

Of course, Hunter could tell that Sydney only saw Luke as a friend. There was no romantic relationship between them.
