Chapter 186 So It Was at Austin’s
The emotions that had been suppressed for days exploded in a flash, and Suny could no longer control herself.
She walked over to the dining chair and sat down, propping her hand on the tabletop to cover her face, trying to shield the last bit of her face.
But she knew nothing could stop it.
Austin saw it, he stood there and saw it clearly.
She was not as breezy as she appears, nor did she really care at all.
She struggled to leave his life completely while at the same time not being able to completely refuse him such a step closer.
She knew she was stuck in a dead end.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“Suny.”
The man’s low voice came and Suny’s fingers trembled slightly.
With her hand over her face and her vision blocked by her own fingertips, Suny could not see Austin, but could feel him on her heels.
The next second, her hand was pulled away from his.
Suny’s eyes were still red and she didn’t want to see him at this time.
“Let go.”
She inclined her head and looked at the cabinet in the distance.
Austin caught her hand and suddenly raised it, then threw it hard and viciously at his own face: “It’s not worth crying for someone like me.”
He would have demeaned himself instead.
Suny withdrew her eyes and looked at him, pulling her hand back, “Go away, I want to calm down.”
She did need to calm down, otherwise she wouldn’t have run straight into trouble in front of Austin.
This time, Austin didn’t say anything else again.
“Here’s the medicine.”
He said, placing the portioned box of cold medicine in front of her heel.
Suny glanced at the green medicine box, “I’m not a three-year-old child.”
She knew about taking the medication herself.
“Okay.”
Austin responded, his cool eyebrows tinged with smile, “But you don’t like taking medicine.”
Suny looked at the smile between his eyebrows and her heart suddenly beat faster.
But just for a moment.
In any case, Austin’s face was still very seductive when he smiled.
Well, she was a face reader.
Austin looked at her reddened charming eyes and pursed his lips slightly, before he got up to leave, he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, “I never wanted to bully you.”
He just wanted to protect such a nice girl.
Suny was stunned for a moment, and when she reacted, Austin had already consciously walked away.
She looked up at his back as he walked towards the stairs and frowned slightly, unable to help but raise her hand to touch her forehead.
How had she not known he was so good at taking advantage of people before?
Suny was in a much better mood after venting.
The chicken soup was almost cold, so Suny drank it with her head down.
This bad cold of Suny’s went as quickly as it came.
After a good night’s sleep, she woke up the next day and the symptoms were almost gone, except for a few hoarsenesses in her voice.
After missing a full day of work yesterday, Rosa came over to her the next day with two contracts.
Suny sounded very wrong yesterday and Rosa was worried all day yesterday, but today Rosa was relieved to see that she looked okay.
“Miss Holland, have you recovered from your cold?”
“Yes, much better.”
Suny responded, looked down and flipped through the document, then signed it.
Rosa saw her sign and said another thing: “Miss Holland, Mr. Watts came to Phantom yesterday.”
Hearing this from Rosa, Suny couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows, “Didn’t you make it clear to him last time?”
“He said that the terms he negotiated last time were acceptable to him.”
“Is that so?”
Suny smiled and took a sip of warm water, “But it’s late.”
It was not like she was a vegetable market stall that he could walk away and then come back.
Nell was overly ambitious, and Suny didn’t want to take the risk anymore.
Three million was not a lot, but she would rather use it to buy a bag for Alicia than let Nell and the others take advantage of her money.
Rosa nodded, “I understand, Miss Holland.”
Suny was about to tell Rosa to get back to work when the doorbell suddenly rang.
Suny glanced at Rosa, “Go back to your work, tomorrow afternoon’s meeting is as usual.”
“Okay, Miss Holland, I’ll go back first then.”
“I’ll give you a lift.”
She wanted to drop by to see who the visitors were.
Suny walked Rosa to the door and through the barred door, she saw Lexi standing outside her villa door with an umbrella.
Suny was stunned for a moment and opened the door for Rosa, “Be careful on your way.”
“Okay, Miss Holland.”
Rosa glanced at Lexi, while others didn’t know, she was clear that this was Austin’s mysterious new love.
Lexi consciously glanced at Suny, but did not expect to meet Suny’s smiling gaze.
Embarrassed, she hurriedly hugged the folder and collected her umbrella and got into the car.
Seeing Rosa get into the car, Suny then withdrew her eyes and looked at Lexi who was following her, “Miss Smith.”
“Am I disturbing you?”
Lexi smiled at Suny.
Suny shook her head, “You’re just in time.”
Lexi laughed lightly, “It seems that Austin has already told you.”
Facing Lexi, Suny was embarrassed, “I just found out about it.”
“Are you going to be busy? If you’re not busy, I’d like to talk to you.”
“No, you can come in.”
Suny stepped aside to allow Lexi to enter.
She led Lexi upstairs, “Have a seat and have some tea.”
Lexi took a look around, “You’re much better here than over at the old mansion, where it’s gloomy and depressing for people who have lived there for a long time.”
Suny smiled a little: “Did you come all the way over here today to talk to me about Austin?”
Lexi shook his head, “Yes and no, I don’t meddle in the affairs of the juniors.”
Suny raised an eyebrow, “And you are?”
“I wanted to come back to see you earlier when you and Austin got married, but Austin didn’t seem too keen to let me see you, so I gave up.”
Lexi was not hiding anything, “You look much prettier in person than in pictures. If I am good-looking as you, I wouldn’t be so stupid as to marry Austin.”
Suny didn’t expect Lexi to say this, “Thank you, you are beautiful too.”
Lexi raised her hand and touched her face: “Fake, the plastic surgeon is more skilled and the money spent is just more.”
Lexi laughed to herself and began to get into the conversation, “Suny, I am Austin’s aunt, Lexi. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not Grace’s sister, I’m Ellen Pearson’s younger sister, Maddox’s first wife is my elder sister. Our parents divorced a long time ago, my sister took our father’s surname and I took my mother’s.”
Suny did think that Lexi was Grace’s sister, and now that she heard this from her, she wondered why she had no ill will towards her.
There was no conflict of interest between them, and Lexi naturally had no ill will towards her.
“Nice to meet you, Miss Smith.”
Lexi took a sip of tea, “Austin asked me to come and see you today, he said you shouldn’t want to see him lately, but he was really worried if you were over your cold, so he asked me to come and see you.”
Suny pursed her lips for a moment, not answering Lexi’s words.
Austin was quite self-aware and knew that she didn’t want to see him.
“I see that you are in such a state that you should be much better.”
Lexi said, taking a jewellery box out from inside her bag, “This is what Austin asked me to return to you.”
Suny reached out to take the jewellery box and opened it, only to find that it was one of the earrings that she had lost on Jasmine’s birthday.
It turned out to be at Austin’s.
