Chapter 178 Date


    When Hunter saw that Sydney took the flowers, he let out a breath of relief.


    He thenughed nonchntly and said, "Other girls can neverpare to you. Since we’re


    partners now, I have to put in some effort to maintain our rtionship. Flowers are a must."


    Sydney smiled. "You do know how to sweet talk. The flowers are beautiful, thank you."


    She looked at the white roses in her arms.


    Hunter pulled a chair and sat down. "I’m d you like them."


    "What are you ordering?" Sydney put down the flowers and handed him the menu.


    Hunter took the menu and ordered a Blue Mountain Coffee.


    Sydney ordered a ss of milk.


    Very quickly, the waiter delivered their drinks.


    Hunter looked at the milk in Sydney''s hands and thought about her pregnancy. He hesitated before


    asking, "How are you?"


    "Huh?" Sydney looked at him. "What are you talking about?" "Your pregnancy. I heard that the initial


    period is the hardest. Are you having a hard time?" Hunter asked.


    Sydney could tell that he was concerned about her and smiled. "I''m alright. Certain smells make me


    ufortable, but I''m fine otherwise."


    "That''s good, then." Hunter nodded and stirred the coffee in his cup. "What are you nning to do


    about this child? Did my friend tell you what he thinks?"


    "He did,” Sydney answered after sipping on some milk.


    Hunter looked at her. "You...”


    "I don''t n to keep this child," Sydney lowered her gaze as she answered.


    Hunter was shocked. "You''re nning for an abortion?”


    "Yes. I don''t want my baby to be an illegitimate child, so I can only choose abortion,” Sydney said as


    she held the ss of milk.


    Hunter agreed. "That’s true."


    Sydney did not know that her unborn child belonged to Julien and thought that it was a random


    stranger''s.


    Even if she found out that the child belonged to Julien, she would still make the same decision.


    After all, the child would only make the rtionship between her, Julien, and Lyra moreplicated.


    The child would also be pointed fingers at.


    Abortion was the right decision.


    "Since you''ve made up your mind, then I won’t say anything to advise you otherwise. When is the


    surgery? I can apany you," Hunter asked with a smile.


    Hunter felt that Sydney''s decision to abort the child was good for him.


    He liked her, but not another man’s child.


    "This weekend. But you don’t have to apany me. Luke will go with me.” Sydney smiled.

    Hunter pursed his lips. "Him? Why him?"


    "Hey, I didn''t ask you out to talk about this." Sydney waved her hand and tried to change the topic.


    Hunter shrugged. "What do you want to talk about?”


    Sydney took out the ne from her neck and showed him.


    Hunter looked at it and asked, "Isn’t this the one Mrs. Madden wears?"


    Thest time when he apanied Sydney to the hospital for her injured leg, they ran into Mrs.


    Madden in the car park.


    He noticed the ne on Mrs. Madden back then.


    Sydney smiled. "Look carefully. Is this really Mrs. Madden''s?"


    Hunter raised his eyebrow and studied the ne carefully. He finally noted the difference.


    "There are a few differences.”


    "That''s right. This isn''t Mrs. Madden’s ne, but this is strongly rted to her. They are a pair of


    nes meant for a mother and her daughter. Mrs. Madden has one, and I have the other. More


    than twenty years ago, Brandon Madden gave this to their eldest daughter, rice Madden,”


    Sydney leaned back as she exined.


    Hunter came to a sudden realization and said, "Isn''t rice Madden dead? Why do you have this


    ne? Are you rice Madden?”


    Ever Since the Cohen family decided to go against the Maddens, he did a check on the entire family


    and knew what happened between the Maddens and the Raines twenty years ago.


    When he heard the name rice Madden, he naturally knew who she was.


    "What? Nonsense!" Sydney rolled her eyes at him.


    Her mother was pregnant with her for 10 months and gave birth to her with great difficulty.


    How could she be rice Madden?


    Hunter stared at her face. "I''m serious. You and Mrs. Madden look rather alike.”


    "It''s just a coincidence. So many people in this world look alike. They can''t all be rted to each


    other, can they?” Sydney asked with indifference.


    Hunter smiled. "You''re right."


    "My dad took this ne from rice Madden and it has been with us since then. Did you see


    the statement that Trison Corporation released? They are looking for a girl with a special ne,"


    Sydney asked.


    Hunter nodded. "I saw it."


    "When I got hold of this ne, I went to the Downtown Jewelry Shop to ask about this ne.


    Mrs. Madden somehow found out about this and assumed that rice Madden is still alive.


    Therefore, Trison Corporation released a statement like that to look for her."


    "I see. I thought Brandon Madden is looking for a second wife," Hunter said in revtion.


    Sydneyughed at his words, notably amused.


    When Hunter saw her bright smile, his eyes darkened. He cleared his throat and quickly looked


    away.


    "re Madden is dead. Are they looking for her ghost?"


    "No, I don''t think rice Madden is dead. I''m also guessing that my dad might not have killed her


    back then. I asked you out today for this matter. Can you help me find out if rice Madden is still


    alive? If she is, then where is she?" Sydney''s eyebrows were in a tight-knit.


    Suddenly, a voice interrupted them. "Ms. Raines, Mr. Cohen!"


    A sh of annoyance appeared in Hunter''s eyes.


    Sydney pursed her lips and looked toward the voice. Lyra Madden was walking toward them.


    "Great. The one we hate is here.” Hunter sighed.


    Sydney smiled behind her ss of milk. "What can we do? Port City is too small for us."


    "Ms. Raines, Mr. Cohen, are you here on a date?" When Lyra came to both of them, she saw the


    bouquet of flowers next to Sydney.


    Hunter looked at her. "Yes, we''re on a date. Ms. Madden, can you get lost? You''re bothering us."


    "Oh, my apologies. I didn''t know." Lyra smiled in embarrassment.


    Another pair of footsteps approached them. "Lyra?"


    "Julien, I’m here!" Lyra waved toward the main entrance of the coffee shop.


    Julien looked over and unexpectedly saw Sydney. He was taken aback.


    Why was she here?


    He then noticed that another person was sitting opposite Sydney.


    The person had his back against him. Although Julien could not see his face, he could tell that it


    was a man.


    Were they here on a date?


    When Julien thought about that, he pursed his lips and walked over.


    When he got closer, he noted that the man was not Luke, but Hunter.


    Hunter saw the surprise in Julien''s eyes and waved at him with a smile. "Julien, what a coincidence.


    Are you here with Ms. Madden for a cup of coffee?"


    Julien nodded and took a sideways nce at Sydney, who was sipping on her milk. His tone was


    sour. "You both?"


    "Julien, Ms.Raines and Mr.Cohen are here on a date. Look at the flowers." Lyra tugged on his arm


    and pointed at the flowers on the table.


    Julien''s pupils constricted and something gripped his heart. "Date?"


    Sydney and Hunter?


    "Yes." Lyra smiled as she nodded, but anyone could tell that she was scheming something.


    Sydney caught it and her gaze became rather chilly. Just as she was about to say something, Julien


    spoke first and his tone was cold, "Sydney, does Luke know that you''re out with Hunter on a date?"


    Before he divorced her, she already had a lot of male friends. Now that she was together with Luke,


    she went on a date with another man.


    She was still as feisty as ever.
