Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 553 Sean's Determination

Sydney nodded her head. She was honest," Yes."

Luke's face instantly darkened, "What did my mom say to you?"

"She just talked about our relationship. She didn't say anything else." Sydney looked at Luke.

Luke clenched his fists, "This is my business. How can she interfere?"

Seeing Luke get angry, Sydney frowned," Luke, your mother cares about us."

"I don't need her to do that!" Luke was so angry that his face was all red.

"Luke..."

"All right!" Luke took a deep breath, tried to suppress his indignation, and said, "Okay, darling... No, Syd. Is it okay if I call you Syd?

Hearing Luke's new name for her, Sydney smiled and nodded, "Sure."

Luke's face eased a bit at Sydney's smile." I'm sorry, did I scare you? My mom called me and said she had talked to you. She told me not to be obsessed with you. I was worried that she might say something rude to you, so I came to see you."

Sydney nodded in a daze, "So that's what happened. Don't be anxious. She didn't say anything harsh to me. She's very kind to me."

"Then I'm relieved." Luke breathed a sigh of relief.

Luke had been in a bad mood for the past few days. He drank a lot and stayed at home every day. He had made himself so miserable. He was ashamed of himself.

When he heard that his mother had gone to Sydney, he was worried that his mother would blame Sydney for it.

Luckily, Luke's mother had sense.

"Luke," Sydney stood up, "Are you upset about your mother getting involved in between us?"

Luke's face darkened at Sydney's words," Yes, a little, but not very much."

He admitted that he was frustrated and ashamed of himself in terms of his affection for Sydney.

But he was thirty years old. He didn't need his mother to intervene and step in to do anything for him.

It was humiliating. So Luke got so angry when he heard his mother had talked to Sydney.

"Luke, your mother is worried about you." Sydney said soothingly.

Luke looked at his watch, "I know. Well, it's late, I should leave now."

Then he turned around and walked towards the door.

After two steps, he suddenly found Sean's presence, his eyes narrowed, "Sean, I need to talk to you in private."

Sean's body trembled. She bent her head down and whispered, "Yes."

The two walked out of Sydney's office.

Sydney watched the two going out. She cocked her head with a puzzled expression.

'It's strange. Why does Sean look afraid of Luke?'

'This is so weird.'

Sean had been working with Luke for many years. She had been Luke's secretary for several years before Luke arranged for her to assist Sydney a few months ago. Sean respected Luke, but she definitely didn't fear him.

'Then why does Sean look so scared of Luke today? What's going on between them?'

In the corridor, Luke led Sean to the elevator.

Luke turned around, looked down at Sean, and asked coldly, "You didn't tell her about that day, did you?"

Sean knew very well that Luke was referring to Sydney.

She hurriedly shook her head, "No, absolutely not. Even if you didn't warn me, I won't tell Ms. Raines."

Luke's face eased a bit, "All right.

Remember what you promised me. You must never let her know about it."

"I know." Sean muttered.

Luke looked at Sean. A complicated look flashed through his eyes. "Did you take the pill?"

Sean clenched her palms and answered, pain in her heart, "Yes."

"OK. That's all. Go back to your work." Luke breathed a sigh of relief. Then he turned around and pressed the button on the elevator.

He was well aware that he was acting like a complete asshole at the moment.

But he didn't feel he was responsible for Sean.

Luke was drunk that day and mistook Sean for Sydney. He dragged her into the room.

But Sean was sober. She knew exactly what Luke was going to do to her, but she didn't struggle or push him away. She gave him what he wanted. Technically, Luke didn't force Sean, but she was willing to.

If she had been forced, Luke would be responsible for her, even if he didn't love her. Luke gave her some money afterwards, so he didn't owe her anything.

And certainly, Luke asked her to take the pill to avoid pregnancy.

Although it might hurt her body slightly, it was the only way to eliminate the risk of getting her pregnant.

Luke sighed and was about to enter the elevator.

Sean bit her lower lip and suddenly called out to him, "Mr. Chase."

Luke paused, "Anything else?"

Sean clenched the hem of her blouse, took a deep breath, and plucked up the courage to ask, "I'm in love with you for a long time, so... Can you give me a chance? I..." "No!" Luke rejected bluntly.

Sean's face turned pale.

He didn't even think about it and rejected her outright.

He didn't give her the slightest chance.

"I don't love you, so I can't give you a chance. It's for your own good. If we do get together and I have another woman in my heart, it's not fair to you. Do you understand?" Luke stared at Sean. Sean opened her mouth and answered in a bitter voice, "I understand. But I can live with it. I can wait for you to get over her."

"No, I can't do that. I can't keep you waiting. "After that, Luke got into the elevator and left.

Sean was weeping inside as she watched the elevator door slowly close.

Not far away, Sydney stood at her office door watching the scene. She sighed and shook her head.

Although she was standing at a distance and she couldn't hear what they were saying, she could guess it by Sean's behavior.

She guessed Sean confessed her love to Luke, but Luke turned her down.

Sydney sighed and walked up to Sean," Sean."

Hearing Sydney call her name, Sean hurriedly lifted her hand, took off her glasses, and wiped her eyes. Only after drying her eyes did she put her glasses back on and turn around. "Ms. Raines." Sydney took a packet of tissues out of her pocket and handed it to Sean, "Take this. This is more sanitary."

"..."Looking at the tissues in front of her, Sean was silent for a moment. Then she took it and said, "Thank you, Ms. Raines."

"It's okay." Sydney smiled. Then she glanced at the elevator and asked, "Did you just confess your love for Luke?"

Sean stopped wiping her eyes and nodded," Yes, but he turned me down." "Sorry, honey. But that's okay." Sydney patted Sean's shoulder, "Although he rejected you this time, you can still love him. I'm sure you'll win his heart one day. Some things require persistence."

Sean looked up at Sydney with reddened eyes, "Ms. Raines, Mr. Chase has loved you for so many years, but he didn't win your heart. Can I really succeed by insisting?"

Sean doubted that her persistence would work.

Sydney dropped her eyes and smiled, "How do you know if you don't try it? And you're wrong about one thing. Luke did love me for many years, but he never told me. I never knew he loved me, and he never confessed his love to me, which was why he didn't win my heart. But you have confessed your love to him. Treat him whole-heartedly. Maybe it will really impress him."

Hearing Sydney's words, Sean got thoughtful, "Maybe you're right."

"Why don't you give it a try?" Sydney took her hand back from Sean's shoulder and turned around to go back to her office.

Looking at Sydney's back, Sean clenched her hands. She looked hesitant.

After a moment, she took a breath and shouted at Sydney, "Thank you, Ms. Raines!

I know what to do!"
