Chapter 294 Not Anyone Deserves the Gift
Although they were away from the crowds, occasionally a few tourists passed by them. In the distance were lively music and people’s voices. Nearby were the sounds of ocean waves striking against reefs, and Suny could hear her heart beating faster. As soon as Austin let go of her, she saw a couple walking toward them. There was no light here, so it was hard to make out anybody’s faces.
“Hey! People are everywhere!”
“What? We’re not having an affair.”
“Austin!”
“Then can I kiss you when we go back?” Austin’s eyes were crinkling. He took her soft hand,
“Aren’t you scared of my grandpa?” Austin’s smile faded as he thought of Charlie. To be honest, it did seem like they were having an affair in front of Charlie.
It was getting late. Suny was a little sleepy.
“Let’s go back.”
“Okay.”
At around seven o’clock the next day, Suny finally opened her eyes after the alarm clock sounded. The sunlight outside the window was bright. She could vaguely see the light outside through the tightly drawn curtains. After Suny and Austin finished their breakfast, Charlie and Jacob came back after walking around the beach.
When Charlie saw his granddaughter standing next to Austin, he looked unhappy, “Suny.”
Suny glanced at Austin. She walked up to Charlie and asked with a smile, “Grandpa, do you see the sunrise?”
The sun rose too early in the summer, so she missed the sunrise. The room Suny booked for Charlie was on the east side, so he could see the beautiful sunrise in his room.
“I saw it. It’s amazing!”
Charlie woke up before dawn. After washing up, he sat on the balcony to wait for the sunrise. He even took a picture of it! He quickly showed the photos to Suny. Unfortunately, the sunrise photos were very blurry because of overexposure.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“I don’t know how to take photos. You must do better than me.”
“I got up late, grandfather.”
Jacob cut in, “Mr. Murphy, I took some photos. I can send them to you.”
Charlie wanted to go back and show Nathan these photos. When he heard this, he shifted his attention to Jacob. Suny felt her hand suddenly pulled by someone. She raised her head and saw Austin standing beside her. He was holding her hand while Charlie was not paying attention to them. Suny was worried that Charlie would turn around and see it. She wanted to pull her hand back, but Austin had already let go of her hand first.
At about nine o’clock, they returned to the yacht and prepared to sail back. When they returned to the port, it was already after midnight. After lunch, Suny drove Charlie back to the hotel. Austin was picked up by Ivan. In the evening, Charlie attended a gathering of old comrades, and at ten o’clock the next day, Suny sent him to the plane back to D City.
Not long after Charlie returned to D City, Suny received an antique painting and an antique vase from Charlie. The delivery man passed on a message for Charlie, “Miss Holland, Mr. Murphy said that your grandmother used to like collecting these antiques, so there are many antiques in their house. If you need them, just tell him.”
Suny understood why Charlie suddenly asked someone to bring these things to her. That day, when Ivy gave her an invitation, her tone was full of contempt. Charlie witnessed all of this. She knew Charlie must have talked to Robert. Otherwise, Robert wouldn’t have suddenly called her that night.
However, Suny thought the Murrays didn’t deserve these precious antiques.
“I see. Thank you.”
“Ivan, see the guest off for me.”
“Okay, Miss Holland.”
When Rosa came back, Suny asked her to get insurance for the painting and vase. These two antiques were worth at least several billion dollars.
“Okay, Miss Holland.”
“Right, get a gift for me. The day after tomorrow is Master Murray’s birthday.”
“Then should I prepare a pound of Earl Grey?”
Because of the low yield, the price of Earl Grey was high, and one pound of it cost 1500 dollars. The taste was sweet, and it was a good gift for the elderly. Master Murray liked to drink tea, especially Earl Grey. Rosa’s suggestion also indicated that she knew Suny didn’t want to give him a costly gift.
“Rosa, you’re smart.”
“I need to work, Miss Holland.”
Suny got a lot of work to do after traveling with Charlie for two days. When she was reading a contract, Suny received a call from Charlie.
“Grandpa?”
“Did you receive my gifts?
“Yeah.”
“You’re going to someone else’s birthday party. Your grandma used to keep a lot of these things at home. It’s a perfect gift choice for you to make.”
“I didn’t want to give out my grandmother’s collection, besides not everyone deserves it.”
“You’re right!”
