Marriage And Love Again

When Suny got stuck in a traffic jam on her way back, her phone rang. It was from Robert. She estimated that the traffic jam would last for a long time, so she picked up the phone instead of using Bluetooth, “Hello, Robert.”

“Are you home?”

“Not yet. There’s a traffic jam.”

“What did you say to Charlie today?”

Suny understood what Robert meant. She remembered that at lunch she mentioned that he was single. She said guiltily, “We talked about what happened recently.”

“That’s all?”

Robert seemed to smile, “Charlie asked me if I’m seeing someone.”

Suny started to play dumb. “Charlie said that he wouldn’t meddle in between me and Austin, but I needed to get to know other men.”

“He’s right.”

Suny could hear Robert was gloating, so she asked defiantly, “When will you bring a woman back?”

“You’d better worry about yourself.”

“When you worry about me, don’t forget you’re having a trouble too.”

“Is that how you talk to Austin?”

“Are you trying to change the subject?”

“I know what I’m doing.”

“Me too.”

They were not in their puberty, so it was best for others to stay out of their relationship. Robert understood that. However, since he suddenly had a sister, he wanted to protect her. Suny just was much smarter and more independent than he had imagined.

“All right, drive safe. Text me when you are home.”

“Okay, bye.”

After hanging up the phone, Robert glanced at the photo on the table. He picked up a cigarette and lit it. Was he waiting for Jayme? Seriously? If he saw her again, he would choke her to death.

Okay, now, Suny received a call from Austin. It was already half-past eight. She saw that the traffic jam seemed to have eased a little. Suny answered the phone with a Bluetooth headset, “Hello, it’s me.”

“Are you on your way back?”

“Yes. There’s an accident blocking the road.”

“Be careful, baby.”

Austin would only call her “baby” when they were having sex. Suny blushed when she heard that. “Okay.” She hung up the phone and the road ahead finally began to clear up.

It was already nine o’clock when Suny arrived at the villa. As soon as she came out of the parking lot, she heard M’s voice, “Welcome home, Miss Holland. Mr. Johnson is home.”

A few days ago, Suny recorded Austin’s face into the face recognition system. M was now able to easily identify what he said.

“OK. M.” Even if M didn’t tell her, she knew that Austin was at home. She just saw the lights on the second floor of the villa. If there were thieves in the house, M would have called the police a long time ago. This intelligent butler named “M” linked to a powerful security system. If the house was invaded by a stranger, it would automatically activate its alarm system.

Suny walked up to the second floor and saw Austin sitting on the couch. He was facing a laptop. Wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, his working-look was quite indifferent.

Suny glanced at him and then her heart started racing. When Austin looked up and saw her, he got up and poured her a glass of warm water.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Thank you.” Suny took a sip of warm water and asked, “I didn’t know you wore glasses?”

“No, this is plain glass spectacles.” Austin took off his glasses.

Without the lenses, his black eyes looked deeper.

Suny’s hand tightened her grips on the cup, “Oh.”

Austin threw the pair of glasses on the couch and put her cup on the table. “Are you going to the sea tomorrow?

“Charlie hasn’t been out on the sea yet.”

“If you don’t mind, can you take me with you?”

Suny stared blankly for a moment, “Aren’t you scared of my grandfather?”

“Your grandfather doesn’t eat people.”

Suny looked at him, and then she suddenly laughed, “Okay.”

Well, this man had lost his coolness after seeing her grandfather last night.

Of course, Suny did not say these words.

Austin looked into Suny’s eyes and guessed that she must have known what had happened last night. After all, she was so smart. So, Austin chose to be honest.

“I had dinner with Charlie last night.”

“What did he say?” Suny walked over to the couch and sat down. Actually, she had guessed what Charlie said.

“He said he didn’t like me very much.”

“Do you still want to go to sea with us tomorrow?”

“Why not?”

Austin held her on his laps.

“Maybe Charlie will like me after meeting me a few more times.”

“Well, then I wish you good luck?”

“Are you gloating?”

He put Suny in his arms and leaned to look straight into her eyes.

Suny’s face flushed red. She gave him a gentle nudge and said in a soft voice, “If you insist, then I have no other choice.”

Now Austin found the Suny that he had never seen before. In the past, she either flattered him gently or was indifferent after the divorce. Now, she was cute like a little girl who could make him feel warm and, more importantly, feel like home. He couldn’t wait to throw himself to Suny’s embrace, well, literally of course. Looking into her beautiful eyes, Austin leaned to kiss her lips.
