Chapter 328 Austin Is Downstairs

"Younger sister? What are you talking about?" Ruby hadn't married Donald back at that time and she didn't know anything about it.

"Yes? What are you talking about, Dad?"

Maisy and the others didn't know it, either. She got very confused when hearing it.

Donald glanced around them and heaved a sigh, "Thirty years ago, Charlie had a daughter, Maryam. But the girl was kidnapped by the human trader at the age of ten when she was going for a business negotiation with Charlie's wife, Amy. The Murphy Family has been looking for Maryam in the earlier years. Even so, they hadn't found her after more than ten years. Maybe they got tired. And we didn't hear any news from then on."

"Have you got any photos of Suny?" Donald froze a bit while talking.

He didn't pay much attention to Suny last time when he was present at Amy's funeral. He just glanced at her randomly.

But he did remember Maryam because she was too pretty even at the age of ten.

Michael Murphy was still alive at that time. Donald was quite close to Walter back then. Both of them used to love and spoil Maryam. When Maryam got missing later, Walter and he had been trying their best to look for her for so many years. They were studying in college and looking for Maryam at the same time. But they didn't replace her and he just gave up looking for her gradually.

But it seemed that the Murphy Family hadn't stopped looking for Maryam!

Maisy found it unbelievable and she couldn't accept it easily. She found a photo of Suny online and showed it to Donald.

Donald was frozen after he saw the photo, "Very much alike! Just every much alike!"

If he was just guessing before he saw the photo, he could be sure of it after he saw it.

It didn't matter if Suny was Maryam's daughter. Charlie would surely take Suny as the apple of his eyes only because Suny looked very much like Maryam.

"Have you done something to Suny?" Donald glanced at Maisy.

"No, I haven't, Dad." Maisy froze.

Donald's face sank, "Don't you think Robert doesn't know what you've done? I don't care whether you've done it or not before. But never ever do anything to Suny again in the future! You'd better not go over to visit them recently. We'll see what we'll do after Charlie's birthday."

In fact, Donald didn't wish to fall out with Walter and the others, but Ruby and Maisy had been playing lots of little tricks behind his back these years. Since he had also benefited from it, he had to turn a blind eye to it. But they didn't expect that Suny would pop up from nowhere and stand in their way.

Suny had no idea what Maisy's family was thinking of. But she knew that Maisy dared not to play those little tricks on her again after Robert's visit to them.

She had just finished a game of chess with Charlie when Robert was back.

Charlie couldn't defeat her and retracted the false move in the game. Even so, he still lost the game. Now he was requesting Suny to play another chess game with him.

Robert was back. Charlie simply pulled him over, "Here! Have a game with Suny."

Robert glanced at Suny. "Grandpa just didn't allow me to lose." However, Suny just smiled.

Hearing this, Charlie's face went red, and crooned, "The younger generations excel the older ones. You are my granddaughter and it is reasonable that you are better!" "You bet! Without your wisdom and cleverness, I am nothing!" Suny smiled to echo.

"You two play one game. I'll watch aside." Charlie nodded with happiness.

Saying it, Charlie paused, "Don't worry. I'll just watch!"

"Remember not to speak later, then." Robert let out a burst of rare laughter.

"Get started! Don't underestimate Suny. She's pretty good at it." Charlie snorted when being seen through

"Please go easy on me, Robert." Suny glanced at Robert and said softly.

"OK." Robert raised his eyebrows slightly and squinted at her.

Suny was his cousin. Of course, he would go easy on her.

However, after ten minutes, Robert realized that he didn't need to act to be better.

The game lasted for almost one hour and it ended with Robert's narrow victory.

"See? You've underestimated Suny, haven't you? How could you finally win the game if Suny didn't lose on purpose?" Charlie said beside them.

"I didn't lose the game on purpose, Grandpa." Suny took a sip of tea.

In fact, Robert was just too good at playing chess. She swore that she didn't lose on purpose. But she got distracted by thinking of what Robert had told her before she went to bed last night and made a false move. Then, Robert won.

At that moment, the door of the study was pushed open. Lily came in with a tender smile, "You guys must have had a great time here! I've been left alone downstairs. Now, you want me to have lunch alone?" "How dare we! Isn't Uncle Walter back for lunch today?" Suny looked up to Lily.

With saying it, she winked and she was making fun of Lily.

"We're an old married couple and we don't think much of lover's romance now. Just come down for lunch later." Lily patted her on the head lightly, smiling.

They had a light lunch because Robert had made a reservation in the restaurant for dinner.

It was Suny's twenty-eighth birthday. Once again, she celebrated her birthday with the family after eleven years.

They dined out. Suny had received piles of presents when she got back home from dinner.

Suny couldn't help missing Austin when she was alone in her room.

She fetched out her phone and thought of calling Austin. But she just clicked the messages from Alicia by accident.

She clicked in and got very surprised when she saw the photos that Alicia had sent to her. "Where did you get them?"

"Where? When the nightfall just came, we could the slogan 'Happy Birthday, Suny' on every LED screen in all the squares near CBD in J City, and on every small screen on top of the taxis. Now you are the hashtag on Facebook!" Alicia texted back very soon.

"But it's a pity that you aren't in J City. Austin's romantic idea is just wasted."

Suny received a call from Austin as soon as she finished reading Alicia's message. She raised her brows and picked up the phone, "This is Suny."

"How have you been?"

"Great!"

"Do you miss me?" Austin asked abruptly while she was about to ask him about what he'd done in J City.

Subconsciously, she wanted to say no. But thinking of the photos that Alicia had sent to her, she paused and said, "Just guess!"

"I miss you, babe."

Suny saw the fireworks rising from far away outside the window immediately.

The fireworks were making a big noise. It was likely that someone had shot off the fireworks in the villa district.

Subconsciously, Suny turned her head to appreciate the fireworks. Meanwhile, she heard Austin talking on the phone, "Can you please step out onto the balcony, Suny?"

"Are you outside?" Hearing his words, Suny got stunned.

Yes."

Austin spoke in a low voice. The fireworks were cracking far away.

Suny couldn't hear him clearly. She ran to the balcony with the phone in her hand and found a car parked there with the headlights on. Austin was standing in front of the headlights and she recognized him at the first sight.

"Wait. I am coming down."

Suny directly ran out with the phone in her hand.

She hadn't been so impulsive since she was a grown-up. She ran into Robert at the stairs. She would have fallen down if Robert hadn't held her.

"Where are you going?"

"Downstairs. Austin is downstairs, Robert!"

Her eyes were very bright and she said it with a smiling face. Even Robert couldn't help to get amazed at it. When he realized it, Suny had gone downstairs already.

Robert frowned slightly. Lily saw Suny rushing downstairs. But Suny had long gone before she could ask a question. So, she had to ask Robert, "Where is she going?"

"Downstairs."

After that, Robert turned around to go downstairs. He went to the balcony and saw Suny throwing herself into Austin's arms.

Austin was really here.

Well. Robert decided not to play the bad cop today since Austin was so sincere.
