EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 54

Alicia said the wrong thing and ran away, leaving Suny alone to face Steven.

Steven didn't care, "Our family has been abroad, the villa has hired someone to take care of it on a regular basis, probably because they think we're not coming back, so they hadn’t done a good job in cleaning."

Suny nodded with understanding, "No wonder the internet was disconnected that day."

Steven smiled, "You thought I was the bad guy that day?"

Suny looked at him, took a sip of her juice and shook her head, "That's not true."

She just simply didn't like strangers entering her domain, even though Steven was her neighbour.

Steven didn't continue to ask, Suny didn't have a strong desire to chat for she didn't really like to socialise or make friends.

"I'll go over there and have a seat."

With that, Suny carried the juice and went over to the sofa and sat down by herself.

Alicia had quite a few friends and there were quite a few people here today, most of them knew Suny, but Suny didn't know them, but Alicia had explained that she knew that Suny didn't like to socialise, so she just had to sit there and there wasn't much for anyone to bother her.

Kevin and Louis came late, and when they saw Suny, Kevin gave his gift to Alicia and came over, "Suny, you're quite early."

Suny gave him a look, "Just ten minutes before you."

Kevin brought her a new glass of juice, "You are very busy at the end of the year, right?"

Suny laughed, "Are you trying to get some ideas again?"

Kevin touched his nose in embarrassment, "I heard from Alicia that you bought a yacht."

Suny thought he wanted to go sailing, "It's so cold this day, you probably don't want to go sailing."

Kevin knew that she had misunderstood and explained, "No, I just want to... I just want to borrow your yacht to take a picture."

Suny looked askance at him, "I don't have the key here, I'll give you a number, just contact him when you use it."

Saying that, Suny gave Xander's number to Kevin.

Kevin wrote it down, "Thank you, Suny!"

Suny took back her phone, "Alicia is really good at using resources."

For a photo shoot, in order to cut down on expenses, she had even used her newly bought yacht that hadn't been to sea once yet.

"Alicia is trying to save expenses for the company."

Suny grunted, "Alright, you go and play."

Kevin knew that Suny did not like to be disturbed by bystanders, so then got up and left.

By this time, people had almost arrived and Alicia had someone take out the cake and prepare to cut it.

Suny got up and just walked over, Alicia pulled her over as soon as she could: "Suny, come, in the new year I hope to earn a tenth of what you earn."

Suny couldn't help but laugh.

Alicia said: "Hmph, there's no guarantee that I won't even earn a tenth of what you earn."

The people who had come today were all quite close to Alicia and knew that Suny was really not short of money, so although they were curious about Alicia's comment, they all had the sense not to ask any questions.

The lights in the hall were turned off and the candles on the three-tiered cake were illuminated. A group of people gathered around and sang Alicia a birthday song, Alicia made a wish and then cut the cake.

Ashley turned the lights back on and Alicia shared the cake with everyone present.

The song was playing on the big screen, and Suny took a small bite of the cake with her head down.

Someone took a microphone up to the small stage at the front and gave a song to Alicia, the atmosphere was cheerful and cordial.

Suny had just eaten half of the cake when Alicia suddenly ran over, "Suny, sing a song for me."

Suny put the remaining half of the cake on the bar, "What do you want to hear?"

"Anything!"

Suny smiled, "Fine, it's your birthday today, I'll do whatever you want."

Like rascal, Alicia whistled and took another microphone and followed Suny onto the stage, "Attention, my friend Suny is going to sing a song to me, everyone do me a favour and put down the cake in your hands and enjoy her singing voice first!"

When she said that, even Suny felt hot in the face.

She glared at Alicia, pulled out the high stool, sat on it and ordered the song 'Most Love' before turning back and adjusting the height of the microphone again.

The soothing and romantic intro came out, Suny gave a smile as she sang, "The sky is azure, the breeze adds romance, the tender love in my heart, like an infinite sea, in that distant intentional encounter, together with your first encounter ......"

This was a song by Alicia's goddess, Vivian Zhou, which coincidentally Suny heard one time and found this amorous, with very warm and romantic lyrics, so she saved it inside her song list.

In her sophomore year, Alicia wanted to join the campus singers competition and encouraged Suny to go, so Suny practiced this song.

Suny had never studied vocal music, but her voice was particularly beautiful, and at the time of the preliminary auditions, she even became a campus goddess straight away because she sang this song.

However, she was there to accompany her, and later in the final pretended to forget the words, and stood on stage and straight away stopped singing.

As soon as Suny opened her mouth, everyone in the arena subconsciously fell silent.

Alicia on the stage was more like a fan girl, looking at Suny with starry eyes.

Austin was asked by Elijah to come here tonight. He originally did not want to come, but Elijah said that he wanted to talk to him about something related to Suny, but Elijah did not want to talk about it over the phone, so he could only come here with a cold face.

Just as he entered the venue, he heard someone singing in the small ballroom not far away.

The female voice was soft and long, and the song "Most Love" was sung by her in a tender and affectionate way.

Austin couldn't help but glance at her, and when he looked at her from this angle, he could just see Suny, who was sitting on a high stool on the small stage, holding the microphone and singing.

Suny was wearing a purple jumper today, her long hair was tied behind, with only a few strands of hair hanging besides her ears, her red lips were lightly opened, her gentle beauty was not offensive, her whole body was like glowing.

Austin stood there, suddenly unable to move.

He had never seen such a Suny before, the flirtatiousness revealed in that leisurely and relaxed demeanour made his heart itch.

The people on the stage were as mesmerised as they were clearly enthralled by Suny's song.

"...... A lifetime hard to part, hard to change and hard to be again, let your love fill your heart, let my love be all for you, all for my greatest love, the earth and the sky remain unchanged."

When the last syllable fell, the banquet hall did not know who led the applause, and then others followed suit.

Austin watched Suny smiling as she stepped off the stage, no smugness or pride on her face.

He then saw a handsome man walk up to her, not knowing what he said, and Suny hooked her lips in a smile.

Austin's face sank.
