Chapter 226 We’re Not Back Together
“Send me the address.”
Austin really didn’t want to pay much attention to Elijah, but when he thought of the questions he had just asked, he felt that Elijah was still of some use.
Suny said that for the time being the relationship between them could not be made public and that it would be good for him to bite the bullet and not admit to getting back together.
But what Jasmine and the others thought was none of his business.
After saying that, he hung up the phone and looked at Suny at the side, “Let’s go over there?”
Suny grunted, “Why us?”
Austin raised his hand and ruffled her hair: “Elijah even knows that you’re with me now.”
Suny pursed her lips, “Drive.”
She should not be impulsive!
“Well done, future Mrs. Johnson.”
He suddenly said that, and Suny’s heart beat faster.
She inclined her head to look at Austin, who was driving and didn’t see any problem with what she had just said.
Mrs. Johnson?
It was not like she hadn’t been there before.
Suny withdrew her eyes, but her heart was light and indescribably relieved.
Well, there was still that little bit to look forward to.
The car soon stopped at the entrance of the clubhouse. It was not the first time that Suny entered the clubhouse, but it was the first time that she entered the clubhouse with Austin.
All along the way, they were led respectfully, the name of Mr. Johnson really did work well!
“Mr. Johnson, Miss Holland, Mr. Brooks and Mr. Tate are inside.”
The club was owned by Tate, so Suny was not worried about what the staff might say in private.
She nodded and Austin had already pushed the door open.
Suny followed Austin inside, walking past the entrance hall and turning left, Suny saw the three men on the sofa.
“Suny, what brings you over here?”
Elijah looked at her with a resigned look on his face, and when he finished, he touched the cheques and wrote one each to Tate and Antonio.
Suny, “How come Mr. Brooks’s IQ doesn’t take lessons?”
Elijah was devastated: “That’s going too far, Suny.”
“I’m doing it for your own good or you’ll lose even more next time.”
“…”
Instead of scolding the woman, Elijah could only look at Austin: “Can’t you control her?”
“No.”
“… Austin, you can’t do that, you’re not even married and you’re acting like this?”
As Suny had just sat down, she heard these words from Elijah, she blushed slightly, “Mr. Brooks you misunderstood, we are not back together.”
Elijah gave a tsk: “So you guys are friends?”
Suny was stunned: “… It’s okay if you want to interpret it that way.”
After saying that, Suny smiled at Austin who was standing by.
Austin couldn’t help himself and pulled Elijah: “You are blocking the light.”
Elijah sat back and poked Antonio: “What is he up to? They are actually friends.”
Antonio gave him a sideways glance, “Miss Holland is right, with your intelligence, why haven’t you learned your lesson yet?”
“A personal attack would be going too far, Antonio!”
“Just being honest.”
Elijah felt that their relationship was going to be missing, “You guys are too much, I’m going to break off friendship with you, don’t stop me, I’ll treat you guys as passersby after I leave this door today!”
With that, he got up and left, yet when he reached the door, he found several people inside the box chatting and laughing.
Elijah pulled on the door handle: “Don’t stop me! I’ll fight anyone who stops me!”
Tate, “No one is stopping you, you go.”
“Fuck! I’m not leaving yet!”
Elijah walked back and grunted, “If I leave, wouldn’t I be humiliated?”
Austin gave him a disgusted look, “Go ahead, what’s the breaking news?”
Elijah looked at Suny, “How embarrassing is this, Suny is here too.”
Suny smiled: “It’s okay, say it, if it’s false, I can just dispel the rumour.”
Elijah was immediately amused, “I heard that you are related to Robert?”
Suny took the juice handed over by Austin and took a slight sip: “Who did you hear that from?”
“A friend.”
Austin interjected, “I didn’t know you had friends from the Murphy family.”
“It’s just that Robert himself let it slip that he has a sister. I mulled over the fact that Robert does not have a sister, but recently Suny was quite close to the Murphy family, I had a flash of light and suddenly thought that Suny might be Robert’s half-sister.”
Suny’s hand trembled: “… Then, Mr. Brooks, you are not that smart.”
Austin suddenly felt a bit humiliated, even Antonio and Tate both sensed something, and raised his hand to cover Elijah’s mouth, “Well, let’s not talk about your speculations, let’s listen to what Miss Holland has to say.”
Suny smiled, “Actually, Mr. Brooks’s guess wasn’t wrong, I am indeed Robert’s cousin.”
When Elijah heard this, he pulled away Tate’s hand that was covering his mouth, “Anyway, I guessed it right! Tch, I’m really smart!”
Suny looked at the self-aggrandizing Elijah and felt that it had been quite difficult for Austin and the others over the years.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Antonio glanced at Austin and saw that he was calm and collected: “Austin, you knew about this long ago?”
The two of them had been in the news for a while now, and if they hadn’t known about their real relationship, Austin would not have been so calm.
“Yeah.”
Elijah: “…”
It was a rare occasion for the four of them to meet up, and Antonio actually had something to say to Austin, but with Suny around, he couldn’t ask.
Austin received his gaze, “Go ahead.”
Antonio smiled, “Benedict Johnson has made moves recently, so be careful.”
Benedict Johnson was Austin’s second uncle, but they were not considered a direct line, as Benedict Johnson was not Austin’s grandfather’s son, but the son of Austin’s grandfather’s brother.
Austin’s eyes sank: “I know.”
The two then chatted about some recent developments in the mall.
Suny listened on the sidelines, barely speaking.
Around eight o’clock, Elijah suggested playing mahjong.
Austin looked at Suny, who, “Didn’t you lose enough last time?”
Elijah: “It was my bad luck last time.”
It has nothing to do with IQ.
Suny smiled, “Sure.”
With five people, Elijah wouldn’t let Austin at the table, after all, he was the one who lost the most every time Austin was at the table.
It was not that Mr. Brooks couldn’t afford to lose, he just felt he had no soul in this mahjong game.
However, an hour later.
Elijah looked at his already empty chip box, “It’s late, won’t you go back to your beauty sleep, Suny?”
Suny smiled, “It’s okay to sleep late for a day or two every now and then.”
Elijah: “…”
