Marriage And Love Again

“Suny, long time no see.” It was a clear male voice. A man interrupted their chat.

Suny froze for a moment as she saw Steven. “Hello, Steven.”

They hadn’t seen each other for a long time after parting outside the villa that day.

Steven was Ivy’s adopted son. That was all Suny knew about him. So, it wasn’t a surprise to see him at Master Murray’s birthday banquet.

Jasmine looked at the handsome man and Suny and started to picture them together.

Rachel walked over when she saw her brother talking to Suny.

“Steven, have you been busy lately? I haven’t seen you for a long time.”

“Yeah, a bit.”

“Miss Holland, you look beautiful in that dress.” If you read between her words, Rachel meant something else. Every woman wore a formal dress tonight – Every woman but Suny. In Rachel’s eyes, Suny didn’t take them seriously.

“Thank you, Miss Murray. I love this dress.”

Of course, Rachel wouldn’t challenge Suny on this occasion.

“Where is Mr. Johnson? Didn’t you come in with him?”

Rachel didn’t care where Austin was. She was reminding Steven that Suny was a slut.

Surprisingly, the prince came to save the princess.

“What are you talking about?” Austin came over and leaned on Suny lovingly.

Suny’s cheek blushed, but she remained calm. “Nothing. We’re just talking to Mr. Saunders.”

Austin looked at Steven, “Mr. Saunders, I didn’t expect you to come alone.”

“Mr. Johnson. I’m enjoying my bachelor’s moment. I think Suny agrees with this.”

Everyone could sense the tension between these two men.

“Steven, mom was looking for you.” Rachel tried to suppress her anger.

Steven nodded to say goodbye and left with Rachel.

Rachel asked Steven, “You really that into her?”

“Yeah?” Steven took a sip of red wine.

“You don’t know how many men she has around her. She has nothing but a pretty face which made me kind of jealous. But she is definitely a witch!”

“Rachel, I know you don’t like Suny, and I didn’t force you to like her, but I don’t want to hear any of that again. I just met Ivy, so I don’t think she’ll want to see me now.”

Steven walked away, leaving Rachel right there, annoyed.

Why did everyone like her? She was just lucky to have a beautiful face.

“So many people here. I want to go out.” Suny took a sip of the fruit juice.

Austin then led her out of the banquet hall and into the garden outside.

Although it was at night, the breeze in June was still hot. People preferred staying inside to enjoy the air conditioning, and most of all, to keep their makeup. So, there were not many people in this garden. Any voices nearby were obvious in this silence. While walking along the path, they heard something. Two women were chatting near the garden.

“Did you see that? Austin was holding Suny’s hand!”

“I can see it! My mom played cards with Madame Johnson the other day. Madame Johnson told her that Austin was just unhappy to be dumped. So, this’s his plan – get Suny back and dumb her again.”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Is that true? I don’t think so! Madame Johnson was kicked out by Austin.”

“It’s true! She’s still his mother! Austin wouldn’t cut ties with his mother!”

“You got a point. I saw Austin a few days ago when I was out for dinner. My dad told me to take the chance. To be honest, I’m quite excited to be Mrs. Johnson!”

“Who doesn’t want to be his wife? Suny is stupid. She didn’t get anything over the past three years, and now she is with him again!”

“Maybe not. It might be just a play. Now, Austin is with her again. No matter what the reason is, he likes his part in it.”

The two women might have not noticed Austin and Suny were around, so they raised their voices several notches. But believe it or not, their assumption was quite convincible. It could fool many people.

Suny smiled at Austin, “So, Mr. Johnson, will you lie to me again?”

“Nonsense!” He kissed her, and gently nibbled her lips.

“You…”

Austin took her hand and left the garden.

Suny showed up behind the two women and chimed in, “So, Suny got back together with him to take half of Austin’s money?”

“That’s very possible. Who is it?”

The third voice startled the two women. They turned around and saw Suny and Austin, who they were gossiping about. They then exchanged glances and ran away.

Suny looked at them and said, “Cowards!”

“It’s time to go back.”

Master Murray was coming out soon, so they had to be there.

“Alright, I can find out who those two women are.”
