Chapter 346 No Longer Friends
Hunter did not know about Julien''s ruthless and jealous thoughts.
He paced back and forth irritably. "It''s over. Sydney knows that you''re Z-H, and she knows that
you’re the child''s father. In that case, she knows that I helped you hide the truth from her. What
should I do? I''m going to lose her before I obtain her!"
Julien''s eyes narrowed dangerously at those words.
''He still wants to obtain Sydney?
''How bold!
''Unfortunately, Sydney can only be mine!''
"No!" Hunter stopped pacing as if he had decided something. He looked like he threw caution to the
wind. "I have to go to Sydney and take the initiative to make amends to her. Even if she mes me
now, I have to express my remorse. Maybe she won''t hold it against me if she sees me take the
initiative to apologize."
After saying that, he turned and left the ward without even saying goodbye to Julien.
Julien did not manage to stop him and could only watch him leave.
At first, he was worried that Sydney would forgive Hunter because he took the initiative to
apologize.
However, when he remembered that Sydney was not the kind of person to forgive a person easily,
he stopped worrying.
Hunter''s trip was doomed to be in vain!
On the other side, Hunter rushed to Shallow Bay. After hesitating for a while, he finally rang the
doorbell.
Sydney was preparing to rest when she heard the doorbell ring. She went to the porch while
covering her abdomen. "Who is it?"

"It''s me, Sydney." Hunter''s voice came from outside the door.
Sydney''s hand on the door handle suddenly froze. The calm expression on her small face also went
cold.
It was Hunter!
When she thought of Hunter''s concealment on Julien’s behalf, her heart was filled with anger.
She closed her eyes, forcefully suppressing her anger, and said coldly, "It''s you? Go back."
Hunter smiled bitterly when he heard the cold detachment in her tone.
Sure enough, on the way here, he guessed that her attitude would be particrly cold.
Now that he listened to her icy voice, he knew that he had guessed correctly.
She chased him away without even asking what he came here for. It was clear how much she did
not want to see him.
"Um, Sydney, I have something to say to you. Can you open the door a little?" Hunter looked at the
closed door, rubbed his hands, and asked cautiously.
Sydney pursed her lips. "You can tell me another time. I don''t want to hear it now."
"No, I can’t tell you another time. There''ll be no point in telling you in the future.
Sydney, I''m begging you. Please open the door!" He pressed his hands together and closed his
eyes in a plea.
His tone sounded particrly pitiful, making it so that others could not bear to refuse him.
Sydney''s eyes flickered, seemingly hesitating.
After a few seconds, she finally opened the door. "Fine, I also want to hear what you have to say!"
Hunter immediately opened his eyes at the sound of the door opening.
His face lit up when he saw Sydney." Sydney, you''re finally willing to see me."
Sydney''s face was expressionless. "Don''t you have something to say to me? Spill it."
She had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with him.
Hunter also heard her tone. His heart felt ufortable.
However, he knew that he deserved it.
With a bitter smile, he saw that herplexion looked pale and asked," Sydney, I heard that you
aborted the child. How are you feeling now? I have some supplements with me. I''ll send them..."
"Get to the point!" Sydney frowned and stressed once again
She did not want to talk to him about anything else.
Hunter choked for a moment and sighed." Okay, okay. I''ll get to the point. Um... I heard that you
found out that Julien was the father of the child, so..."
"So what?" Sydney looked at him coldly.
This was Hunter''s first time seeing her treat him so coldly. Even three months ago, when he was not
familiar with her, she was not this cold to him.
It was clear that she was really angry this time.
"I''m sorry, Sydney. I shouldn''t have hidden it from you." Hunter lowered his head and apologized.
Sydney snorted and looked at him. "You shouldn''t have hidden it? From my point of view, it seems
you had a lot of fun hiding it from me. I asked you several times who Z-H was, but you always
brushed me off. You didn''t act like you ''shouldn''t'' have hidden it from me at all Don''t you feel fake
coming here to apologize to me now? You''re not apologizing because you realized that you were
wrong. You''re apologizing because you realized that I found out about your lie, so you have no
choice but to apologize." "I..." The corners of Hunter''s mouth twitched, unable to say anything.
That was because he could not deny that what she said was true.
If she had not found out about it, he would not have taken the initiative to apologize and confess
everything to her.
Looking at Hunter''s ashamed look, Sydney rubbed her brows and said, "Did youe here just to
apologize to me?"
"Yes." Hunter touched his nose "It''s true that I''ve been helping Julien conceal the truth from you. If
you hadn''t found out, I would''ve continued hiding the truth from you. At first, I concealed it simply to
help Julien, but as we got along in the past few months, I concealed it for your sake. I didn''t want
you to be upset if you found out that Julien was the father of the child.
After all, I''m also your friend." "Friend?” A sneer curled on the corners of Sydney’s mouth.
''What a good friend. He was a friend who deliberately lied to me and hid important matters from me.
''I can''t afford to have such a friend!''
Hunter did not know what Sydney was thinking and lowered his hand, saying, "I didn''t expect you to
find out so quickly either, but since you found out, I have to show you where I stand too. That''s why
I came here to apologize. It was my fault for hiding the truth. Sydney, I hope that you''ll forgive me!"
After saying that, he bowed toward her, his attitude very sincere.
Sydney took a step back. "I understand. After all, you''re Julien''s friend, so it’s normal for you to help
him hide it."
Hunter''s eyes lip up, and he immediately straightened up. He looked at her excitedly. "You mean
you''ll forgive me?"
''She understands me.
''That means she forgives me, right?''
However, Sydney shook her head expressionlessly. "No. Understanding doesn''t mean forgiveness.
You''re not wrong to hide the truth for Julien, but you were wrong for hiding the truth from me. I can''t
forgive you. From now on, we''re just allies that are dealing with ourmon enemy, the Madden
family. We''re not friends."
Hunter''s face instantly stiffened. "Allies..."
Sydney pursed her red lips. "Yes, allies.
That’s all."
After saying that, she directly closed the door and shut him out.
Hunter looked at the door in front of him and wanted to cry.
He thought that she forgave him, but he was wrong.
Not only did she not forgive him, but she also said that they were no longer friends!
It had not been easy for him to earn her goodwill. He wanted to be her friend so he could pursue her
in the future.
Now, he could not even be her friend, much less pursue her.
Hunter scratched his hair. "No, I can’t let this happen!"
He had to talk to Sydney and beg her to forgive him.
They had to remain friends, at least!
Just as Hunter raised his hand and was about to press the doorbell again, the phone in his pocket
suddenly rang.
Hunter frowned and took out the phone to look at it. When he saw that it was from home, he
hurriedly answered, ''‘Hey."
The person on the other end of the phone said something that caused Hunter''s expression to
change dramatically. "All right. I''lle back right now!"
After he spoke, he lowered the phone from his ear. Then, he looked down and quickly sent a
message to Sydney before hurriedly walking to the elevator.
Inside the house, Sydney was drinking water when she heard her phone vibrate on the coffee table.
She raised her eyes to look.
It was a message from Hunter.
Sydney put the cup down and tapped into his message. The words were printed in her eyes:
[Sydney, something suddenly cropped up, so I have to leave. Let''s talk about it after I take care of it,
okay?"
