EX-husband Groveling to Me -
Chapter 316 Can't You Please Watch Your Man?
After eleven p.m., Austin carried Suny out of the bathroom and put her on the bed. Suny remembered the missed call, so she wanted to get downstairs to fetch her phone. Austin stopped her, "What do you want?"
"My phone," Suny touched her rosy cheeks and added, "And watermelon."
Hearing her words, a smile that was rarely seen these days broke across Austin's face and drew his brows apart. "I'll help you get it."
"Thanks," Suny said as she covered herself with the quilt and a grateful smile flashed across her face.
Soon, Austin returned with a plate of watermelon cubes and a phone in his hands. When Suny saw the two missed calls from Robert, her cheeks turned pink with embarrassment.
It was past eleven, which meant Robert called 40 minutes ago. There was nearly an hour gap after his call. If she dialed back now, Robert probably guessed what she was doing. The crazy flashback scenes of late-night sex kept lingering in her mind and caused her cheeks' to turn deeply reddish.
She started at Austin, "It's your fault."
"Do you want me to call back?"
"Do you want me to be lectured?" If Robert knew Austin was staying at her house every day, he might immediately fly here from City D.
"Yes, but not you. He will only lash me out."
"I'll call back tomorrow."
Suny called Robert back at about seven in the morning. She was still leaning into Austin's arms and complained with a frown, "It's still early."
"I have to call Robert."
Suny struggled to sit up, "Go back to sleep. I'll talk outside."
As she was about to get off the bed, Austin grabbed her by the wrist, "No, you can talk here."
A few seconds after Suny dialed, Robert soon picked up the phone. "Hi, Suny?"
"Robert, good morning, I went to bed early last night."
Robert knew his sister was disciplined. "Well, your birthday is coming soon. Grandpa asked if you want to go back to City D for a celebration."
"I don't need any celebration. We can simply have dinner."
It was the first year that she found her family, so Suny wanted to celebrate her birthday with them. How? Suny had a plan. She would celebrate twice - one in the J City, and the other in D City with her family. Robert knew her decision. "Okay, I'll tell grandpa." After pausing for a moment, he asked, "Does grandpa know about you and Austin?"
"Of course." Suny was too embarrassed to tell Robert that Austin was on her bed now.
Robert didn't give much comment. "Then you should be mentally prepared when you go back. Grandpa is not as easy to be fooled like me."
Suny was confused at first, but soon she realized that Robert was talking about Chee.
Quickly trying to change the subject, she replied, "I know, Robert."
"Well, have a nice day."
"You too."
After hanging up, Suny glanced at Austin, "Guess what Robert said?"
Austin hugged her from behind, "Wish us forever?"
Suny shook his head.
"Robert would have taken me back to City D if he wanted me to leave you."
"Then Charlie wants to introduce someone to you?"
Suny nodded, "You are very smart."
Austin suddenly didn't look well, "Can you refuse?"
"It's not up to me."
What if someone offered to know Suny?
Austin tightened his grip to lock her in his arms and exhaled in her ear.
The conversation ended.
Elijah sent the address of the lunch restaurant early in the morning. Suny put on light makeup and when they arrived at the restaurant, Elijah was already there. "Morning, guys."
Suny smiled and sat down, "Nice to see you, Mr. Brooks."
"You freak me out each time you call me Mr. Brooks. Call me Elijah."
Elijah was good at pissing Austin off. He hadn't seen Austin for a long time and once he saw Austin, he couldn't help doing it again. Clicking his tongue, Elijah said, "Austin is cranky. Suny, don't you regret your choice?"
Suny was amused, but Austin's face darkened. "Don't speak until spoken to."
"I'm sorry. I can't do that, Austin. By the way, thank you very much, Suny."
Suny knew he was talking about last night, so she smiled, "You are welcome. No big deal."
Elijah was confident, or specifically, narcissistic. Suny's words gave him the chance to step up, "I hope we can work well together."
Suny was quite satisfied with this meal.
Austin used to be a quiet gentleman, and sometimes, he was narcissistic. Suny had been wondering why would be like that, and now, she looked at Elijah and found the answer. Birds of a feather flock together. There must be reasons why Austin and Elijah could be friends. For example, they were quite similar in some aspects.
Elijah paid the bill and came back. He offered in a good mood, "It's been a long time since I played golf? Would you like to join?" Austin glanced at him, "No."
"Why? Do you have something funny? Take me!"
Suny looked at them with a tight-lipped smile.
Austin snorted and asked, "Are you going to be the third wheel?"
Elijah turned to Suny. "Can you please watch your man?"
Suny curled her lips into a smile, "I think Austin is quite right."
Every lovebird should be responsible for every single man's lonely death.
It was a blow to Elijah. "I'm leaving. Don't stop me!"
After taking two steps, he turned back. "What if I bring a friend? Then we can go together. I won't disturb you guys."
Austin would rather not be disturbed, but Suny seemed to plan something else. "Okay, you're most welcome with a female friend."
Elijah felt that there was something hidden in Suny's words, but he was too bored to be alone today. "Then you guys go to the stadium first. We'll meet you there."
"See you later."
"See you then!"
Elijah was cheerful, and he quickly took out his mobile phone to call Sheri.
Suny slightly plucked at Austin's shirt. "Let's go."
Austin narrowed his eyes at Elijah who was excitingly calling someone at the side, but then he noticed Suny's smiling eyes. Austin had to compromise, but he reminded Suny, "All the females Elijah could reach are his cousins."
The implication was that those women were all arrogant princesses. Of course, Austin wouldn't let anyone walk over Suny.
Suny raised her eyebrows, "You forgot that girl we saw a few days ago?"
Austin understood and squeezed Suny's palm, "Leave him alone."
Suny smiled. "Well, I like to help others."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
