Marriage And Love Again

Elijah couldn’t believe his eyes when receiving Austin’s call. Well, things happened.

“Hey, man, what brings you to me?”

“Drink? I’m at Wyndham Grand.”

“What? You’re going to numb yourself with alcohol? Why? Suny broke up with you?”

“… you coming or not?”

Austin was not in the mood for a joke at all. Suddenly, he made a stupid decision to call Elijah. “Forget it. You don’t have to come.”

After that, Austin hung up the phone.

Elijah said. “I will not do everything you told me. I am not your dog.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

How could he miss this rare chance to see Austin in a desolate state? Elijah always built his happiness Austin’s bitterness! Well, that was what best friends did to each other, right? Elijah then drove as far as he could for fear that Austin would leave when he arrived.

Well, Elijah should be disappointed. Austin didn’t break up with Suny. He was just down when Mr. Murphy told him to leave Suny tonight. But in case not to bother Suny with this, he came to the bar alone.

Elijah then arrived at the bar, and walked straight to their same old private booths. The door was closed. When he walked in, Austin was leaning against the sofa in the dim light. There was a bottle of red wine, a decanter on the table, and a goblet with some wines left in it.

“Buddy, something’s wrong with you.” Elijah raised an eyebrow at Austin who was supposed to stay at Suny’s place now. “Did Suny really break up with you?”

Austin slowly opened his eyes and looked daggers at Elijah.

“Mr. Murphy came to meet me at J city. We had lunch this day.”

“Who is Mr. Murphy to make you so depressed? Oh, no, do you mean that Mr. Murphy?”

Halfway through his sentence, Elijah came to his senses.

Austin cast him a disdain glance and said, “Use your brain.”

“… So you were separated by the Suny’s family? Wow! That’s big news! This is the first time that I’ve heard a girl’s family member talks her boyfriend out of their relationship! Amazing, dude, you’ve made a good start!”

Austin grabbed Elijah by his wrist and cracked his knuckles. He couldn’t stand his mocking tone for any other minute. “It hurts! My fingers!”

Austin looked at him coldly and then loosened his grip.

“Then say something nice.”

“… Fine, seriously, what did her grandfather tell you?”

Elijah poured himself a glass of red wine and sniffed it. Austin opened the bottle of wine he stored in the bar for a long time. Well, sixty thousand dollars for a bottle of red wine? Worth this trip!

The private room fell into a short silence, but then Elijah kept quarreling in his ear like a sparrow. Austin had regretted calling Elijah, the biggest trouble he was facing. All he wanted to do now was throw him out.

“Can you turn off your horn?”

“Where did I get the horn… Hey, Austin! I’m trying to help! Don’t forget it was me that helped you to get Suny back.”

“You do know how to claim the credit.”

“If I hadn’t asked you to apologize to Suny, you would have continued pursuing her till my son was three years old!”

“Cut me some slacks, Elijah.”

Austin now knew how Suny felt when he forced her to get back. Despite Elijah’s shamelessness, sometimes, he was helpful.

“Nothing. Mr. Murphy just doesn’t want us to get back together.”

“What’s the big deal? If he doesn’t approve, so be it.”

Easier said than done.

“Get out.” If Elijah didn’t leave, Austin was afraid that he would start a fight.

The dim light shone on Austin’s face made him look a little pitiful. All of a sudden, Elijah couldn’t bear to see him like this. He said seriously, “If you really care about Mr. Murphy’s opinion, why don’t you make him like you? I’m not asking you to please Mr. Murphy. I mean you should treat Suny better. As time goes on, the Murphys will see your sincerity, and things will come to a good end.”

“The door, please” Elijah was not helping.

Elijah was unhappy. He didn’t do anything wrong! Anyway, he at least was a capable young man who got along with lots of old peoples. Austin should take his advice, shouldn’t he?

“Believe it or not, Austin, you have to know that there’s no going back. You and Suny are now together, and Suny is now a member of the Murphys. That was happening. Mr. Murphy wanted to protect and love her, but you wanted to steal Suny from him. If I were Mr. Murphy, I wouldn’t be happy either!”

“You have to give him some time. In this case, whoever is more patient wins. I can’t do anything if you don’t believe me.” In the end, Elijah shrugged.

Austin was surprised to hear something reasonable from Elijah. He now knew the root of the problem that he had been in such a rush. After all, they had just divorced, and Suny had just found her families. If they were to remarry in such a short period, the people around Suny would indeed be worried. He could wait, but this time he was just disturbed by Mr. Murphy.

Thinking of this, Austin was suddenly enlightened. “Thank you.”

As he spoke, he stood up and left the room.

Elijah snapped out of it and asked him in a hurry, “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to Suny.”

Well, this was a man who valued his girlfriend over his friend!

Elijah snorted and looked down at the remaining half bottle of red wine on the table. He pressed the bell and rang the waiter in. “Keep this for me. Remember, it’s mine!”

It was not from Austin!
