Luke felt a little ashamed to hear that Sydney had gone to his company and called his mother to find him.
He lowered his head and managed a smile before saying, "I'm sorry, darling. I..."
"What's wrong with you?" Sydney did not want to hear his apology, so she raised her hand and interrupted him.
Luke's eyes flickered. He sat back down on the swing, his arms wrapped around the two chains, and then he said in a low voice, "Nothing, I just think I'm too useless. I'm a man, but what I'm doing doesn't look like what a man should do, so I go out for a walk.
"Is that so?'
Sydney squinted and obviously didn't believe what he said because his answer didn't come to the point.
She just wanted to know what had happened to him and how his mood had suddenly become like this.
But he didn't answer her directly, just saying it was nothing, just saying he was useless.
He didn't say what made him feel useless. His attitude really bothered Sydney.
She knew that he didn't want to say it on purpose and that he answered in a roundabout way.
Sure enough, Luke avoided Sydney's gaze and said, "Yes, that’s it."
The more he spoke, the quieter and the more guilty he became. At last, he simply bowed his head and said nothing.
Sydney sighed and sat down on another swing next to him.
She had just noticed that the swing was clean, so she naturally didn't have to worry about getting her clothes dirty.
After sitting down, Sydney grabbed the iron chains on both sides and kicked at the ground to make the swing swing.
She tilted her head slightly, leaned her head against the chain, and whispered," Here is still the same as it was before. It hasn't changed.’’
Luke chuckled, "Of course, it's the same as before. I have been maintaining this place and keeping it in its original state for the last six years; otherwise, it would have been deserted." "Why do you do that?" Sydney looked at him.
Luke let go of the chains. "This is our secret base and one of our most important treasures, so I have to maintain it."
Sydney replied guiltily, "You’re right. But I'm obviously not qualified to say this place is a treasure because I've almost forgotten this place."
Luke raised his eyelids. "I know you haven't been here since you and Julien got married, and I haven't heard you mention it, so I already guessed that you might have forgotten this place. It's normal. This was our secret base when we were young, and when we grow up, we naturally don't need a secret base. But now you remember it, don't you?"
He turned to look at her.
Sydney smiled and then asked, "Have you come here often in the past six years?"
"Yes." Luke nodded, "Sometimes when I'm tired or miss someone, I come here."
"Miss someone? Who is it?" Sydney asked curiously.
Luke looked at her but said nothing.
Sydney was confused, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Nothing." Luke laughed at himself and then turned his head, thinking, ‘Luke, Luke, you know very well how insensitive she is to others’ feelings. If you don’t tell her directly, she won’t know you like her at all, and she won’t think that way.
If you want to tell her with your eyes to let her know your feelings, you will know it’s just a pipe dream.'
Although Luke thought so clearly in his heart that he should tell Sydney directly that he liked her, every time he couldn't say it.
His timidity and nervousness made it impossible for him to take this step.
Therefore, he was doomed to lose to Julien.
Sydney and Luke stayed in the park for almost half an hour.
During this period, the atmosphere was a little weird and completely different from their usual atmosphere.
Sydney was helpless because she could do nothing.
The sky was getting dark.
