Sydney turned her head. "Is there something else?"
"Leave me a phone number."
Sydney was momentarily taken aback.
"You're the bank president. We'll have opportunities to be in touch. Just leave me your number," Christopher said.
His tone wasn't exactly negotiable, but it didn't carry any hint of coercion—just an authoritative presence that was hard to refuse.
Sydney, accustomed to dealing with various executives—some sleazy, some superficial, and others who abused their power—found Christopher's dignified and courteous demeanor refreshing and rare.
What struck her even more was how Christopher, despite his status, was waiting for a parking spot like an ordinary person. Most people in his position would have simply called ahead to secure one, but he was waiting in line like anyone else.
She fished out her business card from her bag, and handed it to him respectfully.
Christopher accepted it, saying, "I'll be in touch."
Sydney offered a polite smile before exiting the vehicle.
As soon as she stepped out, her phone rang. Checking the caller ID, Sydney saw it was Geoffrey calling.
Her brow furrowed, and instinctively, she felt a surge of irritation.
She quickly hung up.
Christopher observed her reaction with curiosity. The abruptness with which she ended the call piqued his interest.
Sydney climbed back into her car and had just closed the door when her phone rang again.
Without checking, she answered sharply, "You're so annoying! You should count yourself lucky I haven't reported you to the authorities—don't push your luck!"
She hadn't reported Geoffrey, not out of a lack of resentment but because escalating the situation wouldn't benefit her or her child. It would only invite more trouble if the Spencers came looking for Geoffrey, leading to a potential family feud with serious consequences.
So, Sydney decided to keep Geoffrey's actions to herself.
"Who are you planning to report?" came a calm, authoritative voice from the other end.
Sydney's heart sank. Recognizing the voice, she immediately rolled down her car window and glanced at the armored vehicle parked nearby.
The window of the vehicle began to open slowly, and Christopher waved gently at her. His smile was evident even from a distance.
Sydney's anxiety spiked. She quickly said, "Sorry, I thought it was a spam call."

The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
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 !...
