Marriage And Love Again

Charlie had not exactly told Suny when he would come, but he just would. After trying several times for nothing, Suny just stopped bothering Charlie. But guess what? Finn received a call from the Murphys.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Finn became a bundle of nerves, starting at the sound of the phone ringing. He was afraid to screw up his boss’s chance, but obviously, he was just paranoid. He didn’t have a chance to utter a word.

“Mr. Lee, this’s Mr. Murphy’s assistant. Could you please tell Mr. Johnson that Mr. Murphy’s flight will be tomorrow afternoon? Mr. Murphy wants to have dinner with Mr. Johnson. Room A1 at Bishounen at six tomorrow night.”

Then there came a long beep over the phone.

Finn quickly sent the message to Austin.

“Mr. Johnson, you have an appointment with TK’s president.”

“Antonio can do that.”

Mr. Murphy and TK’s president? Finn knew who the priority would be.

“Mr. Johnson, should I check Mr. Murphy’s flight?”

“No.” Mr. Murphy probably didn’t like people who did things on the sly.

“Okay, I’ll inform Mr. Read.”

“Thanks.”

Austin was not in the mood for work anymore because he was going to meet Suny’s grandfather. He was anxious. How could he leave Mr. Murphy a good first impression? Exactly, second after he had screwed up the first time. What if he ruined his chance this time?

He gazed at his phone on the table. After a moment of hesitation, he opened the chat group and typed, “Do you guys know how to make your girlfriend’s family like you?”

Soon, his phone pinged. It was Elijah.

“Are you going to see Suny’s family? Well, big progress.”

Austin ignored his stupid joke.

Then Antonio’s message popped out. “This’s a hard one.”

And Tate, “Sorry, no can do.”

Austin was too naive. How could he find an answer among a bunch of bachelors? Then he threw his phone aside. After a while, he received a call from Elijah but hung up the phone impatiently. But Elijah kept calling one time after another. Well, this man was nothing better than having thick skin!

“You are asking for trouble, man,” Austin answered in a frosty tone.

Elijah was playing dumb. “Aren’t you trying to win favor with Suny’s family? I’m trying to help!”

“Okay, wait, don’t! I knew you were going to hang up the phone! I’m serious! It works every time!”

“Can you just tell me?”

“Let your mind do the talking. I mean, butter him up and don’t go against his wishes.”

“… Bugger off!”

Austin would never expect useful things from Elijah. He must be insane! But he must never know he would have to face such a problem one day.

That night, he lost sleep over it.

Late the next day, a phone buzz woke him up. It was from Suny.

“Are you still in bed?” Austin was supposed to show up at her place with breakfast, but he didn’t.

“Sorry, I overslept.”

“Then do you mind coming down to open the door?”

Austin got up from the bed and went to the balcony. He saw a person standing outside the door. It was Suny.

“Wait a minute.” He yelled and ran downstairs holding his phone. It had been so long that Austin felt like he was alive, having feelings – excitement, happiness, and impulse. He slowed down when he saw Suny standing at the door of the villa.

“Why are you here?”

“Where do you think I should be?” Suny arched her eyebrows.

Austin took the breakfast from her hand and led her inside. After a year and a half, Suny once again entered this villa. She was calmer than what she had imagined. Everything was left behind.

“Have you washed up?” Suny stood at the dining table, looking at Austin.

“No.” He handed her a sandwich, rubbed her head, and went upstairs. But Suny was not in a hurry to eat. She walked upstairs to the third floor. The villa remained the same after she left. Suny had lived here for three years, so she could know where and what it was even with her eyes closed. The balcony was empty. The plants she took care of for three years were nowhere to be found.

Austin came out of his room and saw her standing on the balcony.

“I didn’t move them.”

When he returned half a year after their divorce, Austin discovered that the pots used to raise plants were already gone.

Austin asked the housekeeper and found that Grace had asked people to throw them away.

“It’s ok. I don’t like them that much.”

She was lying. She had been with those plants for three years! A few of them almost died. She found a lot of information to bring them back and took care of them for three years. After all, she still had feelings for them.

“We’ll get more plants later. No one could throw them away this time.” He gave her a warm hug.

“What did you do last night?”

Austin loosened his grip and led her downstairs. “Elijah broke up.”

“What? He had a relationship?”

“Yep.” Austin started to lie with an expressionless face.

“Is it the girl we met that night?”

“Yes.”

“It surprises me.”

“Me either.”

Early in the morning, Elijah sneezed a few times as soon as he arrived at the company. He was a little suspicious that he had caught a cold, so he quickly asked the secretary to make him a cup of water with VC.

This was sour!

“Forget it. It can enhance my immunity.”

Gritting his teeth, he closed his eyes and drank it up.
