Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 817 Regret

He worked for the government and knew that there wasn't such a regulation as taking the prisoner away from the adjournment. In such a situation, he had to make up a story to put off her doubts. He could tell that the bailiff was deliberately stopping Madeline from revealing the identities of Sydney's biological parents just as Sydney speculated.

It was common sense that when a prisoner was not deprived of all political rights, he was entitled to free speech regardless of whether the court was during or out of the court sessions. The bailiff, however, interfered with Madeline's rights. There should be something behind it.

It showed that someone had told those officials to keep an eye on Madeline and prevent her from revealing any information about Sydney's biological parents.

As for who this person was, he had gotten an answer.

Few people in Port City had such power. His father was one, and his father's political opponent was another.

There was no way they would interfere with the matter. They didn't even know Sydney.

Then only one person was left.

Julien also had such power.

He was sure that it was Julien's doing.

'But why?'

Hunter dropped his eyes in contemplation. He couldn't understand why Julien was preventing Sydney from knowing who her biological parents were. 'Is there any secret hidden in it?'

Hunter was thinking about it on their way to the café. Not until Sydney waved her hand before his eyes that was he brought back to reality.

"Anything on your mind?" Sydney withdrew her hand upon seeing that he came to his senses.

Hunter picked up the cup for a sip of water and smiled, "No. What would you like to drink?"

He put down the cup and handed her the menu.

Sydney shook her head. "A cup of black tea with milk will be fine."

She said to the waiter.

The waiter nodded. "Sure."

Hunter took the menu back, flipped through it, and ordered a cup of iced Americano.

The waiter took the order and left. Sydney then took out the file given by Hunter earlier and read the profiles of those sperm donors.

Seeing how serious she was, Hunter said, "These people are carefully selected and highly educated. Some of them were born with silver spoons in their mouths. Their families declined, but their qualities remain. You will replace a suitable one."

Sydney listened while flipping through the file. "Indeed, these candidates are good."

"These people are in gene pools and of the best quality. They value their genes, and their customers are all billionaires. I heard that a lot of women from abroad want such genes to have quality kids, but most of them are rejected because their fortune doesn't reach the standard. These gene pools are specialized in serving those super-rich ladies who don't want to get married but want heirs. The qualities of the genes are naturally out of question."

Sydney closed the folder and chuckled, "It looks like Madeline can pretend to be a billionaire."

"Yeah." Hunter sipped his coffee and laughed.

After a while, he asked, "Have you made your choice? I'll tell them to reserve the genes before those rich ladies get them."

"The third one should be fine." Sydney handed him the folder, "His profile impressed me. He is a university professor, so his intelligence is out of question. More importantly, he is an orphan and terminally ill, which makes him the best candidate. The kid will have no connections with the family of his father.

She needed a child but didn't want him to ask about his origins and go to replace his father.

That meant trouble.

She had read about children who came to the world in this way. Out of curiosity, they looked for their fathers and might even acknowledge their relationships. If that happened, two families would be linked. It would be troublesome.

The best scenario was that the father didn't have a family. Then there would be no such trouble.

Hunter understood what Sydney meant. It was reasonable for her to think that way.

After all, this was not a prevalent practice. It was trading by nature.

Extra connections with the seller were not needed.

For a family like theirs, such connections might promise all kinds of trouble.

So, she was right to do so.

"The third one is also the best candidate in my mind. I planned to advise you to choose him. On second thought, it's your choice to make. I didn't expect us to have the same view," Hunter smiled, stirring his coffee.

Sydney sipped her Americano. "Have the gene shipped and delivered to Finn. I informed him beforehand. He'll take care of the rest. The IVF will be implemented once Madeline is out of prison." "Turns out you've gotten everything ready." Hunter raised his brows, "I planned to ask you whether you had selected the hospital. I could help you with that as well."

"From the moment I decided to let Madeline have a baby for the Raines family, I have been arranging things up. Now IVF is the last procedure, but it will take six months for Madeline to recover and be suitable for pregnancy." Sydney sighed.

Hunter looked at her and said, "Don't worry too much. This kind of thing cannot be rushed."

Sydney responded, "I know. Enough for this. How is Davey doing by the way?"

She changed the subject and asked about the cute boy.

Hunter pursed his lips. "Ugh, that brat pissed me off a few days ago."

"What happened?" Sydney asked curiously.

Hunter then told her all the mischief Davey had done recently. In the end, he shrugged with his palms up and said helplessly, "I can do nothing about it. He's at the naughtiest stage of his life." Sydney giggled behind her hand. "No way, Davey is cute."

"In front of you but not me." Hunter rolled his eyes.

Sydney smiled. When she was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang.

She excused herself and took her phone out of her bag. The corners of her mouth further curved up when she saw the caller ID.

From her joyful look, Hunter could vaguely tell who the caller was. He couldn't help but feel jealous.

It was just a phone call from Julien, and she looked so happy.

She was really love-struck.

Hunter clutched the cup and laughed at himself.

He was regretful that he hadn't known her earlier. If he had known her and given her warmth during the six years when she was bullied by the Flint family and suffered from Julien's emotional abuse, she might have been with him after she got divorced.

It was said that the best approach to touching someone was giving her hope and warmth when she was in a desperate situation.

Back then, he had been curious about Julien's wife and wanted to see the woman fully devoted to Julien. 'Julien treats her like that. Why wouldn't she leave?'
