"What's the matter? Is there a problem?" the person outside asked.
Sydney replied, "I'm sorry, but the car won't start."
The person seemed to be the driver of the armored vehicle. Growing a bit impatient, he glanced at his leader's car and then said to Sydney, "Let me take a look. Hand me the keys."
Given that he was driving an armored vehicle, Sydney didn't question his authority. She grabbed her bag, stepped out of the car, and handed the keys to him.
At that moment, the window of the armored vehicle slowly rolled down.
"Luke, what's going on?" a deep, steady voice inquired.
Luke Parker quickly approached. "Mr. Jackson, the car suddenly won't start. I'm checking it out and will move it right away."
Christopher glanced at the car, then his gaze shifted to Sydney, recognizing her.
Sydney seemed to recognize him too, her surprise evident.
"President Harper, what a coincidence," Christopher said with a faint smile.
Sydney moved closer. "Oh, it's you, Mr. Jackson."
As the president of a bank, Sydney often attended high-profile events and mingled with influential figures. She had had the chance to meet Christopher once before and had exchanged a few words, but that was all.
People of Christopher's stature were not easily befriended. Even though Sydney was in a position to meet such people, it depended on whether Christopher was willing.
Since that meeting, they hadn't crossed paths again. It had been over a year, and she was surprised to find that Christopher still remembered her.
Christopher noticed a hint of redness around Sydney's eyes, with visible traces of tears.
"What happened?" he asked, though his real question was why she had been crying.
The interior of the car was warm, with a faint, pleasant scent of perfume—clearly a woman's fragrance.
Christopher noticed the traces of tears on her face and took out a clean white handkerchief from his pocket, offering it to her. He said nothing, simply holding out the handkerchief.
Sydney accepted it, and dabbed at the tears at the corners of her eyes. "Thank you."
Christopher's calm gaze remained on Sydney.
She had a noticeable hickey on her neck, likely from a man.
Sydney was indeed beautiful, with a youthful appearance that belied her actual age of over forty. Her beauty was not just skin-deep but seemed to radiate from within.
The mature charm she exuded was something that younger women could not easily match.

The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Why aren't u updating......
Unrealistic. What a comedy. If Sebastian and Rosalie are cousins, their families must have already prevented them to be together abroad. Isn't it bizarre that nobody is doing something to let them know of their family relationship? And pls stop putting Aurora in a high pedestal. Your readers want Rosalie to be genuinely happy,free of stupid misunderstanding. Thank you....
Another garbled story with lots of gibberish. Absolute rubbish. I got to chapter 26 and can't anymore...
Too many people involve.. sigh~ this is like the most angst novel i've read.....
I just wish one thing...that the writer will not bring too many unnecessary and unrealistic twists,too many misunderstanding,miscommunication that gives the reader the hint not to continue with the novel. In the long run, We lost our interest in this kind of unending plot....
Thanks for the update !...
