Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 43

"I already announced it in front of the reporters. Do you think it's fake?" Luke raised his brows. "I'll bring some wedding candy tomorrow for you to try."

"Oh, sure..."

Luke had always not taken things seriously since he was a child, and Sydney was used to it. Hence, she shook his hand off with a straight face and walked into the office.

"Brew a pot of Earl Grey and a cup of unsweetened coffee," Luke instructed before following Sydney into the office. "Babe, let’s talk about the acquisition of SweetHeart after you're done working. I searched up some information about SweetHeart..."

Sophie watched as Luke entered the office until the door closed and his voice was obscured.

She squeezed the file in her hand, her gaze darkening.

Sydney was a little out of it because she lost her virginity last night.

She could not concentrate on her work and did not hear anything Luke said. In the end, she told Luke that he was too noisy and kicked him out of the office.

Only at noon did she manage to calm down.

She had divorced Julien long ago and was single now. It was fine even if she had slept with another man.

What made Sydney confused was that she always had good alcohol tolerance. Besides, she had gone to the bathroom last night to throw up and was quite sober. How did she get drunk again?

Furthermore, she had absolutely no recollection of how she met that man and went into the room with him.

Then, she thought about the number on the paper she ripped off when she was leaving in the morning. She took it out of her coat pocket and searched for that number on WhatsApp.

The other party soon accepted her friend request.

Without waiting for the man to speak, Sydney sent a message first.

[SydneyRaines: We're both adults. Last night was just a game between adults, so forget about it. It’ll be better for both of us that way.]

[SydneyRaines: I transferred you 88,888 bucks.]

At that moment, Julien was still taking care of Lyra in the hospital.

Last night, he was very worried when he learned that Lyra was sent to the emergency room. It was only when he reached the hospital did he learn that Lyra was fine. She just injured her forehead and had slight fractures on her legs, so she had to be hospitalized for a period of time.

Lyra also woke up soon and took his hand. Her eyes were red, and there was a sob in her voice. "I'm scared, Julien. Can you stay with me?"

Julien could not bear to refuse, so he sent Zach and Mrs. Madden back, leaving him at the hospital himself.

Since Lyra’s face was still pale in the morning, he asked Zack to bring his laptop over so he could work in the ward and take care of Lyra.

At noon, his phone vibrated, and a new message popped up.

He clicked in to find that it was a message from his private number. Guessing that it was from Sydney, he switched to that number.

Julien had accepted her friend request and was still thinking about last night when Sydney sent a message and transferred money to him.

Looking at her message, the man furrowed his eyebrows, and his expression darkened.

That woman...

Suddenly, a piece of news popped up in his notifications.

Seeing that it was about Sydney, he clicked into it in a daze and saw Luke embracing her in the video. Luke clarified Sydney’s scandal with Cayden Lowe and made a public announcement that he was dating Sydney, not forgetting to mock Julien in the process.

That news coupled with Sydney's drunken babbling last night made Julien annoyed.

If it were not him last night and it was another man who had come forward to help, would she have accepted that man regardless?
