Marriage And Love Again

Suny did not stay at the hospital for long. She had a meeting at three in the afternoon.

When she was leaving, Jane was still not back. Suny was going to ask her if Dora’s ex-husband had come to harass her, but since she was not back, Suny had no other way but to ask Rosa to look into it.

“I’m leaving now.”

“Alright, don’t worry about me, Suny, I will be fine.”

Dora, standing under the sunlight in the hospital room, smiled at her. Her eyes crinkled into a smile, which reminded Suny of what Dora was like when she was in college. A flash of emotion

Feeling emotionally stirred, she nodded and smiled at her, “Okay.”

Then she left the room.

“Miss Holland!” Jane came as Suny went out of the elevator.

Suny approached her, “What’s wrong, Mrs. Woodbury?”

She shook her head, but her eyelids were tinged with red, “Dora’s recovering well these days. The doctor told me that three months later she would be able to go home and live like a normal person if nothing goes wrong.”

It never occurred to her that one day Dora could go back to being the lovely girl she used to be. For the past few years, she almost forgot how much her own daughter used to love laughing.

“It’s a good thing.” Suny understood her feelings.

“It’s all thanks to you, Miss Holland. If it wasn’t for your help, Dora could never have made it. Miss Holland, we can never return your favor. The only thing I can do is to pray for God to bless you and your family.”

“You don’t have to do that, Mrs, Woodbury. Dora’s also my friend, and she has helped me, hasn’t she?”

Jane wiped her tears and did not continue the prayer thing, but it seemed she had made up her mind, “All in all, Miss Holland, we are all very grateful for what you have done for us.”

“I am also very grateful for Dora.”

Seeing that her eyes were turning red, Suny smiled a bit and changed the subject, “Has Bennett come to disturb you and Dora?”

Jane thought about it and shook her head, “It’s very kind of you to ask, Miss Holland. They did not come for us recently.”

Suny nodded, “When Dora’s better, I will take her to divorce Calvin Bennett.”

“That’s very generous of you, Miss Holland.”

Suny smiled briefly again, “Mrs. Woodbury, don’t say that anymore. It’s just what a friend would do.”

Knowing that Suny still had a meeting, Jane said no more and just saw Suny off. She stood there for a long time before she wiped her tears again and walked into the building.

It was half past two when Suny arrived at Phantom. Rosa came to deliver the materials for the meeting, “Miss Holland, the materials for the meeting.”

Suny nodded, reaching out her hand, “Anything on Calvin?”

Rosa hastened to report the updates, “Half a month ago, he signed a few documents that I’ve already tampered with. He will have no one to turn to after some time.”

Suny nodded, “I am sure Secretary Lee won’t let me down.” Then she smiled and added, “No need to hurry, let’s give him some time.”

When Dora was out of the hospital, Calvin would know what despair tasted like.

Thinking of that, Suny’s mouth twitched with a cold sneer, which deeply impressed Rosa.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

In her eyes, Suny still looked stunning even when her smile was sardonic.

Suny soon returned to her normal expression, and gave Rosa a half-smile, “Alright, you may go now.”

“Yes, Miss Holland.” Rosa was a little embarrassed by her glance. She bowed her head a bit to avoid eye contact and left the office.

After Austin sent Suny to Phanton, he went straight to the airport. He had a three-day business trip.

The meeting lasted for more than two hours. When Suny was out of the meeting room, it already passed five p. m.

The weather forecast said the first typhoon in the south was about to land on Wednesday on the border city of J city. A typhoon at level eleven would be accompanied by both heavy rain and high wind. So it was better for people to stay at home.

Suny lifted her eyebrow, thinking that Austin was not going to be back on Wednesday night.

She put her phone in the purse, took a document, and went out of the office.

While Austin was away, Suny had meals alone. If it was in the past, she would feel totally fine. But now seeing the love birds on the next table, she felt for the first time a bit lonely eating alone.

At night, close to ten o’clock, Suny’s phone rang just when she had dried her hair.

When she looked at the screen, something cheerful flickered in her eyes, “Austin?”

“It’s me.”

As the coming typhoon made the air a bit stuffy, Suny walked to the balcony, staring at the sky, “Social’s over?”

“Just over.” His voice was deeper than usual.

Suny lifted an eyebrow, “Have you been drinking?”

“Two glasses of wine.”

“Not too much.”

Suny chuckled, “There will be a typhoon on Wednesday.”

“Then you should take care of yourself.”

“I will go home right after work.”

Austin loosed his tie and stared at the ceiling. It was after a long pause that he opened his mouth again, “I miss you, babe.”

Hearing that, Suny felt her hands holding her phone tighter, and her face reddening. She hummed without answering him. Both of them were silent, but neither of them wanted to hand up the phone.

“I will be back on Wednesday.”

After a while, Suny heard Austin say so.

She winced, “There will be a typhoon on Wednesday.”

“It’s not a big deal. I’m in S city.”

“Alright.”

Anyway, they couldn’t control the plane of their will.

“Did you miss me, babe?”

Suny really felt Austin was increasingly ashamed of nothing, for he dared to ask such questions. But soon, she found herself was also quite like him. She gazed at the light in the garden and answered, “I did.”

Instantly, she heard the guttural laugh from another end. It was the first that Suny had ever heard Austin smile like that. The sweet and deep sound just floated to her ear, scratching her ear canal softly.

And Suny felt itchy. Not just in the ear canal, but also in the heart.

“You should go to bed.”

Suny touched her reddened face, “Good night.”

“Good night. See you in your dream.”

After she hung up the phone, Suny lowered her head and smiled. She dawdled for a long time before she went into her room.

The first typhoon came strong. The weather was abnormal on Tuesday. J city was all stuffy without any trace of wind. Since J city was close to the sea, a typhoon was a frequent visitor. But Suny was not a fan of humidity. She went home at three o’clock or so.

Just as she walked out of the garage, it began raining. It seemed the rain had been gathering for a long time before pouring it down. Suny stood before the window for a while. Then she went upstairs to change her clothes and to read in the study.

It was always a good option to take a good nap at home in a hurricane. When Suny woke up, it was already dark. The rain continued without any mitigation.

She rubbed her eyes, “M, turn on the light.”

Instantly, the room was bright. She got her phone and found it was seven o’clock.

She had slept for two hours!

Then she made herself a tomato egg noodle for a simple dinner.

When it was ten o’clock, she was not at all sleepy after two hours’ sleep in the afternoon, so she took the book that she was reading in the afternoon to bed.

She read for half an hour and went downstairs to pour herself a glass of water. Just as she went out of the kitchen, she found Austin was walking up the stair with his coat on his wrist.

Suny stopped for a moment, “How did you come back?”

Just as she finished talking, Austin approached her. He raised his hand, hugged her, and pressed his lips against hers.
