Marriage And Love Again

It was from Robert. Suny caught a glimpse of Austin, “My brother.”

Austin let her go, leaned back on the sofa, and waited.

“How’s everything with Chee?”

Suny was embarrassed, “Robert, actually…”

The sound of Robert talking to someone put Suny to a stop.

“What did you just say?”

Robert added, “I got a lot of options.”

Suny was going to tell Robert the truth. She answered with a helpless smile, “Robert, my friend got into some trouble. I’m busy, so I haven’t seen Mr. Murray for a while.”

Suny was not lying. She was indeed swamped with Dora’s thing for the past two weeks.

After a short silence, Robert continued, “Well, forget it. You can’t force love, right?”

He wouldn’t push Suny. He did this only to pressure Austin while giving Suny other options.

That would be a happy ending if Suny picked a guy, but Robert wouldn’t force them apart if Suny finally picked Austin.

“Thanks.”

“Are you still seeing Austin?”

Suny cast a glance at Austin on the sofa, giving a vague answer, “I’ve been tied up with my friend’s problems.”

Robert responded with satisfaction, “Do you need my help?”

Robert’s words touched Suny deeply enough to remind Suny of how she fooled Robert, “I can handle it.”

“Call me if you need anything. I’m your brother.”

“Thanks, Robert.”

Robert then hung up the phone contentedly.

To Robert, Suny was a smart and well-behaved girl who was lousy at lying.

Suny, who had just told a lie, cocked her head and met Austin’s stare. Her cheeks immediately flame.

“Do you want melon? Secr…Rosa bought it.” Suny slipped the ‘Secretary Lee’ out of her tongue.

Austin studied at her for a while, “Where is the melon?”

Suny pointed to the kitchen, “In a small bucket inside.”

Austin didn’t call her bluff and went into the kitchen while rolling up his sleeves.

The melon was placed in a small bucket full of ice cubes. When Austin picked it up, he felt the chill spreading from his fingertips to his head.

Suny quietly stood at the kitchen door to watch Austin cutting the melon. After a moment’s hesitation, she said, “Austin.”

“What?” Austin lifted his head.

“Do you know Boss Suny?”

Austin paused, but soon, he reacted, “The president of Phantom.”

“What kind of person do you think she is?” Suny walked in to take out the plate and put it beside his hand.

Austin tilted his head to look at her and raised his eyebrows. “She’s your boss. What do you think of her?”

Suny didn’t expect this to come. Suny didn’t expect this to come. She stared at the ground blankly, digging out some proper adjectives in her mind to sound less bragging.

After a long while, she said, “Smart and professional.”

“Well, same as me.” Austin put down the knife and lifted his eyes to look at Suny.

Suny felt that she asked for nothing. She snorted, “Anything else?”

“I only care about you, baby.”

Suny blushed, “… I didn’t mean this.”

Austin was smart. But why did he act like a fool when she needed him to be smart?

“No comment on someone I haven’t met.”

Austin’s answer was undeniable.

They brought the fruit plate to the living room. As Suny picked up a slice of melon, Austin asked her, “You’ve been working for her. Do you know why she loved playing hide and seek?”

“I think she just wants to keep it low-key.”

Austin nodded, “Yeah, I guess so.”

Suny’s heart beat faster under Austin’s suspicious gaze. She found Austin was acting weirdly the whole night.

Rosa said Ivan investigated her again, but under Rosa’s cover, he couldn’t find anything.

But Austin was way too smart, and they were close lately, so he probably noticed something.

Sometimes truth didn’t have to lay every piece of evidence on the table.

Suny burst into laughter and melon juice jetted everywhere. She took out a tissue and wiped off those on the back of her hand. She said earnestly, “Austin.”

Austin also wiped his. He tilted his head to answer her seriously, “What’s up?”

“When did you know?”

He looked at her with a smile, “What?”

Suny didn’t mean to hide it from him. Everything was a coincidence. But now, she decided to confess, “I’m Boss Suny.”

Austin knew it earlier, but he was still a little shocked when he heard it from Suny.

Who would have imagined that Boss Suny, the famous president of Phantom, would be Suny the gold-digger?

To be honest, when he knew the truth, he hoped he was wrong.

At least in this way, it could show that he wasn’t completely stupid back then.

But when he looked at the genuine Suny, he decided to drop his narrow-minded attitude, “I knew it more than a month ago, but I haven’t had time to verify it.”

But tonight, she admitted it herself.

Suny snorted, “I didn’t hide it from you on purpose.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“I know.” Recalling the past, Austin knew Suny wanted to confess to him many times. He just refused all her invitations.

At that time, he felt Suny deserved nothing more than the title of Mrs. Johnson.

Suny felt much more reassured.

Austin was actually not that bad. She had partial responsibility for their three-year marriage to end in divorce.

She shouldn’t have used Grace as an excuse and forced Austin to marry her.

“I shouldn’t have threatened you to marry me. I’m sorry.”

She owed Austin an apology. He was forced to marry a stranger as his wife, who might be a pawn of her evil mother.

Suny’s apology surprised Austin.

A pang of regret mixed with wakefulness lingered in the room when they reminisced about the old time.

After the divorce, they had grown a lot.

Austin took her into his arms, “It’s okay.”

Without their divorce, maybe he would never know he had fallen in love with Suny.

Beautiful but ambitious, soft but independent, Suny was never like the women he met.

Austin started to open up to her, letting Suny walk in on the barren land with the light.
