Chapter 331 His Words Hurt

This was the most special birthday that Suny had celebrated since her parents passed away.

She had turned twenty-eight this year. She wasn't a naive teenage girl anymore and she didn't care much about the surprise or displaying things on her birthday. But Suny found she was still excited and joyful when someone really surprised her on a special day.

It was past midnight. Suny usually went to bed much earlier. But she was lying on the bed and checking the photos that Alicia had taken and sent to her. Surprisingly, she couldn't fall asleep.

She had always thought that no one in J City would know Austin was the heir of the Johnson Family if not for his good-looking face!

He kept a low profile and he hated to show off.

It turned out that the way Austin had shown his best wishes to her was unapproachable! She found it surprising after giving it a second thought.

It was getting late. Suny fell into sleep gradually.

She had a dream. More than one year ago when she just divorced Austin, she often dreamed of the day that she met Austin for the first time. Later, she dreamed of her parents who had died young.

Once again, he dreamed of the day fifteen years ago. But this time Austin didn't leave after he saved her. He took her hand and kept walking forward and forward without telling her where they were headed for. Suny was wakened up by the ringtone. Her eyes were dazzled by the sunlight coming through the certain, that she hadn't closed tightly last night.

She covered her eyes with her hand. A few seconds later, she realized that she was dreaming just now and now she was awake!

The phone kept ringing. She stretched to pick it up, shut the alarm, and yawned.

She went to bed much later than usual, so she was still very sleepy now.

But her plane would take off at 2:40 pm. She must leave for the airport after lunch.

Suny was thinking of playing a few more games of chess with Charlie. Then she put down the phone and went to wash her face and rinse her mouth in the bathroom.

Everyone else in the family was up when Suny went downstairs. Lily was talking with her friend on the phone while Walter was reading financial newspapers on the couch. "Good morning, Uncle Walter." "Good morning, Suny. Grandpa and Robert are downstairs."

"OK!"

The housekeeper stepped forward to ask her, "What would you like for breakfast, Ms. Suny? Oatmeal or bread?" Suny thought for a second, "Oatmeal, please."

She got up late today. They were having lunch in about two hours. Suny thought a light breakfast might be better.

After breakfast, she went downstairs for Charlie and Robert. They were playing chess in the pavilion.

"Grandpa."

"Robert!"

"Good morning!"

Charlie turned to glance at her and looked as kind as usual.

Suny had no idea whether Charlie knew she went out with Austin last night or not. Of course, she wouldn't mention a word of it when seeing his kind face.

But Robert saw her yawn and asked, "Why didn't you sleep longer?"

Suny got a bit embarrassed when she recalled that Robert didn't return to his room to sleep until she came back last night. Then she shook her head, "No. I can sleep on the plane."

Three of them were having a nice morning. How time flies! An hour had passed by after they had just finished two games.

The sun was getting stronger and stronger. Even so, it was cool in the pavilion.

Fruits, tea, and pastries were served at the table beside them. What a lovely morning!

But someone did come to interrupt and ruin this lovely morning. Suny and Robert saw them as soon as Maisy and the others went into the villa.

Charlie heard it and looked towards them, too. The servant was leading Maisy and her parents into the house. The housekeeper went over to them, "Master Murphy, Ms. Maisy, and her parents are here." What happened the night before had annoyed Charlie. Now it annoyed him more that they went over to interrupt them when he was having a good time with his grandchildren. "Why are they here?"

"It seems that they've brought the present for Ms. Suny."

Suny couldn't help raising her eyebrows when hearing the housekeeper.

Robert looked at Suny and held Charlie, "Let's go inside and have a look first."

Robert did tell them that the Murphy Family wanted them to stop visiting but he didn't fall out with them and cut the relationship. Now Maisy and her parents just came over in person in the name of giving the present to Suny. They were here to give out the present. No matter how they had to meet them.

Suny didn't mind it. She didn't think much of Maisy from A to Z.

If she really wanted to deal with Maisy, she had got plenty of ways to do it. But she just didn't want Charlie to be in dilemma.

After all, Maisy was Maisy Murphy. They shared the same family name with Charlie and they were relatives.

Charlie looked a bit pleased when he heard that they came over to give the present to Suny, though he was still very unhappy with what Maisy had done.

If they showed some respect to Suny, Charlie wouldn't humiliate them.

Charlie would surely have held a banquet and made a public announcement on the relationship between Suny and the Murphy family if Suny wasn't such a low-key person.

Charlie used to love Maryam the most. Now Maryam was gone and she left Suny in this world, and he couldn't wait to take her as a pearl in the palm.

"Let's get in and have a look."

They headed towards the villa. When they just went from the steps, Maisy smiled at Suny and said, "Ms. Suny, I heard from my friend that it was your birthday yesterday. So, I came here on purpose to give you the present."

She handed the present to Suny as she was speaking.

"Thanks, Ms. Maisy." Suny took it over and smiled lightly.

"Maisy, Suny is your cousin since she is Charlie's granddaughter," Ruby spoke.

Well, Ruby was really good! She had related Maisy with the Murphy Family only by speaking a few words.

She paused, and looked toward Suny, "You were born in July, Ms. Suny. Maisy was born in September. You two were born in the same year. So, you are the elder sister in the family."

"What do you think of it, Charlie?"

Charlie glanced at Ruby and said ambiguously, "We must be serious on this matter. After all, Suny isn't with the family name Murphy. People would think of Donald if Maisy claims that Suny is her sister." Charlie's words hurt a lot. In fact, Donald did have a bastard daughter out there and she was about the same age as Maisy. It wasn't a secret. But Ruby was so tough that she didn't agree to bring the bastard girl back to the family. So, Maisy was the only Ms. Murphy so far.

However, people in the field knew it. Charlie used to tell Donald off for Ruby on such a scandal. He had brought up the matter in this way today and shut Ruby up immediately.

"Yes, you are right." Ruby hardly smiled.

She smiled with embarrassment and stopped talking.

Suny didn't know what had really happened. But she bet she had guessed it right when she saw how terrible Ruby looked.

"I was kidding the night before, Ms. Suny. I hope you didn't take it seriously."

Maisy was out of the blue. Suny squinted at her and smiled, "No, I didn't."

"That's good."

Maisy felt released. She went over to Suny and tried to hold her hand. But Suny just avoided it tactfully, "Anything else, Ms. Murphy?"

Maisy's smile froze. She didn't expect that Suny would simply turn her down when she was flattering her. But she had to bear with it when thinking that Suny was her granddaughter of Charlie, "Nothing much. I just want to know if you like the present."
