Marriage And Love Again

Suny brought nothing with her except the phone and went downstairs directly.

But Austin said he was hungry. So, she had to get into the car with him for some night snacks.

Suny dined out with the Murphy Family today. She was wearing a dress but she took off the high heels and put on slippers. She’d left the purse at home and all she’d got now was the phone in her hand.

It was totally OK to have some night snacks like this.

There was a Sleepless Town near the villa. They could get barbecued food and everything.

Suny heard it from Lily. When Amy was well, she would eat night snacks with Lily over there, and sometimes they would take Robert with them. But Robert was a clean freak and thought the food in the food stalls was dirty. He agreed to go with them only to take good care of the elders.

Later, Amy thought Robert was too picky at food and stopped taking him over.

Suny thought Amy was a fun person when she heard the story at that time. If she had been brought back to the family earlier, they could have had night snacks together there.

But there was no if in the world. It had been long before she was found by the Murphy Family.

The car stopped. Suny stopped thinking and got off the car with Austin.

They saw the long street filled with barbecue booths and snack stands. It wasn’t too late at night and the street was crowded. Most of them were married couples with kids and some of them were the young lovers from the college nearby.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Suny grew up in small lanes and streets like this. Her family’s financial situation was much worse and she’d been used to such places. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

But Austin…

Suny remembered Lily once told her that Robert even couldn’t find a clean and comfortable seat here when he came over with them. Then she looked at Austin unconsciously, “Here? Are you sure?”

“Yes.” Austin looked back at her.

Suny raised her eyebrows and told him about Robert’s miserable experience here, “You’re a clean freak too, right?”

“Not now!” Austin held her hand and went into the midnight snack bar with her.

He seemed to be able to bear anything since he was together with her.

“Don’t eat your words later.” Suny couldn’t help laughing.

Both of them were good-looking. The waitress came over for service as soon as they came in, “What would you like to order?”

“We’d like to check the menu first.” Suny picked a double seat beside the wall.

In fact, there weren’t many choices for midnight snacks. Suny used to have night snacks with Alicia a lot and she passed the menu to Austin after glancing randomly at it, “Take a look and pick whatever you like.”

Well, it was the first time for Austin to eat at a food stand like this. Maybe he didn’t have much affection from family members when he was young but the Johnson Family did give him pretty enough money to spend. Moreover, those, who were hanging out with him, were from similarly rich families. So, he had always been a big spender on food and wine.

They ate in the school canteens when they were junior high students, which were their good old days. As a college student, Austin even didn’t live in the dormitory like the majority, not to mention the food he ate.

There wasn’t anything wired on the menu but the menu was just too oily and stained. Austin looked at Suny but found nothing wrong with her. So, he had to bear with it and said, “Oatmeal.”

“How about barbecued food?”

Suny pretended that she hadn’t seen the look on his face. She asked for the napkin from the boss and put it in front of him, “Or, we can go somewhere else.”

“What would you like?”

“I want this one, this one, and this one.” Suny crooned lightly.

“OK. That’s all.”

Then he waved to the waitress, “Excuse me, would you please…”

Suny had made fun of Austin and stopped making it difficult for him. She lifted her hand to pull his hand down, “Well, forget it. Let’s go somewhere else.”

“Why?” Austin frowned and got confused.

“I suddenly don’t feel like eating these.”

“Actually, I can…” Austin looked at her for a while.

“Come on. Let’s go.”

They picked another place to eat in the end. Austin had shown himself up here in the middle of the night and she bet he didn’t have dinner. Suny wasn’t sure if his weak stomach could survive it.

It got really late after they finished eating. Austin drove her back to the villa in his car.

The fireworks stopped crackling when they left. The villa district was very quiet now.

Suny unbuckled the seat belt but she didn’t get off at once. “I had a great time tonight.” She turned to look at Austin aside.

It was the best birthday that she had since she was seventeen.

The family was there for her. And the one she loved was there for her, too.

“I’ll make you happy in the future.” Austin raised his hand to touch her cheek.

Suny had been used to Austin’s sweet words gradually. She still blushed but she had been much more peaceful than before.

“Good night, Austin.” She raised her amorous eyes and bent over to kiss him on the lips.

It was a nice and sweet kiss. Suny had parted her lips from him before Austin realized it.

“Good night.” He stared at her, with his dark eyes turning gloomy.

Suny smiled, pulled the door open, and got off the car.

Austin sat in the car. He took his eye off her until she entered the villa, then he touched his lips.

The Murphys had been asleep. Suny lightened her steps when she went upstairs.

“Robert?” Suny was a bit surprised to see the light in the living room of the second floor.

“You’re back!”

On the couch, Robert opened his eyes slightly and looked up at her.

“Are you waiting for me, Robert?” Suny asked.

“Grandpa told me to.”

“Did you enjoy yourself tonight?” Robert stood up.

“Yeah, very much.” Suny looked at Robert and nodded with embarrassment.

“Good.”

Robert answered lightly. He walked over to her and raised his hand to rub her head, “That’s good. Go to bed now.”

Suny thought Robert was going to ask her something else. But he just rubbed her head and told her to go to bed.

Suny looked at Robert again. He didn’t look like kidding her. Then she nodded and said, “OK. You too!”

“OK. I’m on my way.”

Austin was smart tonight!

Robert went back to his room. He looked out from the balcony before he went to bed.

The black limousine was still waiting in the light at night.

He hadn’t left at this hour.

He frowned and closed the French window on the balcony. Then he returned to his room.

What! Young people!

Suny looked towards the balcony unconsciously when she got back to her room.

It didn’t surprise her that Austin was still there.

She took out her phone and texted him.

Austin looked up after he received the text message. He texted back and then drove slowly away.

Suny didn’t take back her eyesight until the car vanished in the darkness. She lowered her head and smiled lightly. Then she returned to her room.
