Chapter 503 Are They Together?


    Luke felt a little ashamed to hear that Sydney had gone to hispany 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''te to the


    point.


    She just wanted to know what had happened to him and how his mood had suddenly be 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. Atst, 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 ce and keeping


    it in its original state for thest 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 ce is a treasure


    because I''ve almost forgotten this ce."


    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 ce. 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 youe here often in the past six years?"


    "Yes." Luke nodded, "Sometimes when I''m tired or miss someone, Ie 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." Lukeughed 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 andpletely different from their usual


    atmosphere.


    Sydney was helpless because she could do nothing.

    The sky was getting dark.


    Sydney stood up and said, "It''s gettingte. Luke, let''s goback."


    Luke also looked up at the sky. "Okay. Let’s go.”


    They walked out of the park and came to the parking ce.


    Sydney looked at her car and asked without looking at Luke, "Where''s your car?"


    "My assistant dropped me off and then I let him go, so there was no car."


    Luke shrugged.


    Sydney’s mouth twitched, and then she said, "Take my car. Take me home first and then you drive


    the car away."


    "OK, then I''ll drive." Luke stretched out his hand.


    Sydney threw the key to him.


    Luke took the key and pressed the unlock button. The car responded. They opened car doors and


    got into the car before driving off towards Shallow Bay.


    Due to some traffic jams on the road, it was almost nine o''clock when they arrived at Shallow Bay.


    Luke parked the car by the side of the road. Sydney opened the car door and got out of the car.


    After waving to Luke, she went to the apartment building.


    Looking at her back, Luke suddenly clenched his hand as if he was suppressing his thoughts.


    After a few seconds, he took a deep breath, then immediately took his hand off the steering wheel,


    opened the car door, and ran towards Sydney quickly.


    He ran so fast that he was behind Sydney after a few steps.


    Sydney felt someone was behind her and was about to turn back. Then she suddenly felt that her


    wrist was held by someone.


    That person took her wrist and pulled hard.


    She was forced to turn around and rush forward, and then her body bumped into a less strong but


    warm embrace.


    Sydney realized it was Luke. She did not know why Luke did this, so she froze for a moment and let


    him hold her tightly.


    After a while, Sydney felt a little pain in her arms because she was hugged too tightly by him, so


    she came to her senses and pushed him awkwardly. "Luke, can you let me go?"


    Luke didn''t let her go and still hugged her tightly as if he didn''t hear her words.


    Sydney felt his body trembling, stopped struggling, and patted his back. "Luke, what’s the wrong


    with you?"


    Luke did not speak but buried his head on her shoulder.


    At this moment, Julien rolled down the car window and looked coldly at them, who were hugging


    each other.


    His hands holding a delicate gift box clenched tightly, and the gift box was out of shape, which


    showed that he was not calm and angry.


    In the front seat, Zach saw Julien''s angry face in the rearview mirror and felt the destructive low


    pressure around Julien, smiling bitterly.


    He really didn''t expect that he and Mr. Flint actually saw such a dramatic scene.


    In the afternoon, Mr. Flint finally made up his mind, decided toe to Ms. Raines, and wanted to


    ease up a little with Ms.


    Raines.


    After waiting for three or four hours, they finally saw Ms. Rainese back, but they didn''t expect


    Luke took her home.


    To their surprise, Luke and Ms. Raines actually hugged each other.


    This hug was not a simple hug between friends.


    They hugged each other tightly for a long time. Luke even buried his head on her shoulder, and Ms.


    Raines patted his back. It was a hug between intimate lovers.


    ''Are they together?'' Zach thought and hurriedly turned to look at Julien in the back seat.


    Julien lowered his eyelids, rolled up the car window, dropped the box on his thigh on the seat next


    to him, closed his eyes, and ordered, "Drive."


    "Mr. Flint, where do you want to go?" Zach asked.
