EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 116

Suny had almost finished eating, she took one last sip of tea, "I'm done eating, I'll leave first."

With that, she took her own sheet and intended to get up to go to the checkout, but at this time, Austin reached out and clasped her wrist: "Wait."

Suny looked at her wrist that was clasped, her eyebrows raised slightly, the smile on her face faded: "Mr. Johnson?"

Austin let go of her hand and tossed the sheet she was holding to Elijah, "His treat."

Elijah, who was eating udon noodles, looked up at Austin and almost said "shit", but was stopped by Austin's eyes.

What could he do?

Suny glanced at Austin before her eyes finally fell on Elijah: "Then thank you, Mr. Brooks."

Since someone was grabbing the check, she would just satisfy that strange fetish.

"You're welcome."

Elijah let out a laugh and the corner of his mouth twitched as he met Austin's eyes.

Suny took her bag and went straight out of the sushi restaurant, Austin beside her.

She didn't say anything and neither did he.

Finding the car, Suny then stopped and inclined her head to look at Austin: "What do you mean?"

"I didn't drive out, give me a lift please."

His face was not apologetic for the trouble.

Suny was exasperated, "Austin, once trick is enough, do you think I am easy to deceive or you are easy to deceive?"

"Me."

Without even thinking, he gave her the answer.

Suny did not expect him to admit his stupidity so quickly, and for a moment, she was somewhat speechless.

A car pulled out next to her and Suny pursed her lips slightly, "Sorry, I don't want to be bothered by you."

"I'll drive."

Suny felt that Austin was a bit unintelligible, the smile on her face faded completely and she tilted her head slightly to look at him, "Austin, I'm not very fond of jokes."

"I'm not joking, Suny."

He looked at her with a serious expression, "I want you to give me another chance."

She used to be stupid, but she was not stupid anymore.

Suny looked at him with no ripples inside.

When disappointment has been saved up, one will despair, and when one despairs, one will no longer have extravagant hopes.

She had long since emerged from those years of naivety and delusion, and now Austin wanted her to jump back into her cocoon.

Dreaming.

"Sorry, no."

She finished, pulled open the car door and sat sideways in.

Austin pursed his lips, before Suny's car drove out, he went around to the passenger side and knocked on the window.

The spacing between parking spaces was already not spacious, and he stood there as if he was waiting for her to bump into him.

Suny was in a bad mood, she lowered the window: "Do you want a car accident?"

"Give me a lift."

He didn't pull the door open without permission, yet he didn't back away either, standing there like a scoundrel.

Suny looked at him coldly, and the two of them confronted each other for about two seconds before she turned sideways and pushed open the passenger door.

Very well, he was the one who provoked her.

Austin got into the car as he wished, and he inclined his head to look at Suny in the driver's seat.

She did not speak, her face was devoid of its usual light smile, and she was driving intently.

No one spoke inside the carriage and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

The car gradually drove out of the car park and onto the road.

Austin inclined his head to glance at Suny again and took the initiative to break the silence, "We met nine years ago."

Suny didn't look at him, "No."

"I remember it, Suny, I saved you."

There were red lights ahead and the car slowed to a halt.

Suny inclined her head to look at him, "So you want me to return the favour?"

"I can see why you like me."

Most girls in this world worship strong men and most likes start with adoration and admiration.

Suny stiffened for a moment, Austin's words ripped off the last piece of shame she had, and embarrassment pounced on her face.

She wanted to be as breezy as ever, but she couldn't be.

She was seen as a calm, strong and composed person, but she had her softest and most vulnerable corners.

She actually cared about some things, like Austin, like these past that she has kept hidden.

The hand gripping the steering wheel tightened.

Austin didn't think his words would have such a big impact on Suny, and he raised his hand to cover hers, "I'm sorry, Suny."

He had told her he was sorry countless times, but in fact he was most sorry for the young girl he had saved back then.

She came to him with the barest of hearts, cleaving to him and holding on for three years with a heartbeat that lasted but a few minutes a day.

"Don't you say sorry to me, Austin, because I will never forgive you."

When she finished, she closed her eyes and swallowed all her emotions.

The green light ahead came on just in time for Suny to wave his hand away, "I'm going to drive."

Austin did not speak again as he looked down at his palm, having just touched Suny's finger.

So soft and delicate, the hand he once could easily hold, now it was a luxury for him to even touch it.

One must always suffer for one's mistakes.

As the car sped down the road, Austin remembered many things from the past, all from those three years.

But the poor thing was that within those three years, he and Suny hadn't actually had a few contacts.

All he could think of were the few family dinners or the few necessary party occasions.

However, he had always left her alone, and now that he thought about it, it was surprising that he had no memory of anything.

With some difficulty, he leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, remembering the day he saved Suny.

That incident didn't actually take up half a place in his memory, and if he hadn't seen the photos of Suny later on after he and she had separated and remembered the one that had stunned him even, he wouldn't have remembered it.

When the car stopped, Austin slowly opened his eyes.

He inclined his head and glanced at Suny, who calmed down after more than half an hour of silence, "Get out of the car."

"What will it take for you to forgive me?"

Hearing this from him, Suny smiled, "Unless you make it snow in June in J City."

How can there be snowing on a hot summer day?

This was clearly impossibility.

Suny looked at him, "Get out of the car."

Austin looked at her for a moment before pushing open the door and getting out of the car.

Just after closing the car door, Suny suddenly called out to him, "Austin."

Austin, who was standing outside the car door, his heart moved as he leaned down, "Yeah?"

"Give me your phone."

Without question, he held out the phone and handed it to her.

Suny took the phone, "You take a few steps back."

Austin took a few steps back, and as he had just stood still, the black car drove off in an instant.

Austin frowned, only then did he realize that he had been thrown into the countryside by Suny, and his mobile phone, just now, had been taken away by Suny.

He looked in the direction where Suny's car had disappeared and smiled slightly.
