EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 122

After they two came out of the police station, they went directly to a nearby hot pot restaurant.

Although Suny was not a neat freak, she still liked a quiet and clean dining environment.

She couldn't make herself uncomfortable just to disgust Austin, right?

The two of them were dressed in good clothes. Besides, they were good-looking. As soon as they entered the restaurant, they attracted a lot of attention.

The waiter led them to a booth by the window. Suny took the seat and skillfully scanned the code with her mobile phone to order food.

Austin came to a hot pot restaurant for the first time. The strong hotpot smell around him made him a little uncomfortable.

He glanced at Suny who was on the opposite side. She was bowing her head and ordering her meal seriously, without any discomfort.

He knew she was doing it on purpose, but he was happy with it.

Austin scanned the code and read the menu. But after reading it, he didn't want to eat anything.

Suny had already ordered what she wanted to eat. After checking it, she found that Austin didn't order anything. She looked up at him, raised her eyebrow, and said to him, "Austin."

The man looked up at her, "Huh?"

There was deep concentration in his black eyes. He had never looked at her like this before.

Suny pursed her lips and suddenly felt that it was so meaningless to embarrass him. So she said, "There is a western restaurant upstairs. There should be something you want to eat."

It was rare for her to say these words calmly, without any irony.

Austin was a little sullen, "How do you know that I don't like hot pot?"

She almost blurted out, "You just don’t like it."

But she still held back, "You didn't order anything."

"It’s my first time to come here."

"Oh, the cattle stomach is delicious. The duck blood is also good. The pig kidneys are so yummy."

What she recommended were all internal organs of animals. She originally thought that Austin would be pissed off, but he actually ordered all the food according to what she said.

Neither of the two were willing to give in. At present, Suny was the one who lost slightly.

Soon, the waiter brought the pot.

Suny asked for a two-flavor pot. She didn't eat spicy food very much. She ordered it just for Austin to see.

Sure enough, the expression on Austin face changed when he saw the pot.

Suny washed the tableware and chopsticks with the hot water. At this time, the ingredients she ordered had already served.

The pork kidneys had a strong smell. It happened to place next to Austin. Even Suny could smell it.

She put the vegetables into the pot and cooked the beef with a colander.

Austin was motionless. The smell of the pork kidneys made him uncomfortable.

He looked at Suny, but she didn't seem to feel anything.

Austin couldn't understand why some people liked to eat hot pot. Everyone's chopsticks were put in a pot. No one knew how much saliva was mixed in a pot of soup.

Of course, he didn't dislike Suny. He just couldn't stand the smell of pork kidneys in front of him.

Suny ignored him and ate unhurriedly.

Austin sat there, holding chopsticks, but ate nothing.

He actually wanted to eat too. But he really had never eaten hot pot before, so he didn't know how long it would take for those ingredients to be cooked.

A few pieces of beef were suddenly put in his bowl. Austin was dumfounded for a while.

He looked at Suny. There was shock in his black eyes.

"These are okay."

Suny didn't want to play tricks on him anymore, so she beckoned the waiter and asked him to take away the pork kidneys and duck blood.

She didn't actually eat those very often.

"Miss, what's the problem?"

After withdrawing three dishes at once, the waiter naturally had to ask what was wrong with the food.

Suny glanced at Austin, "It's nothing. I ordered something wrong. Help me deliver these dishes to the table next to me."

Saying that, Suny raised her finger and pointed to the young man at the table beside her.

"Okay, I'll give these to them."

Suny nodded, "Thank you."

As soon as she looked up, she met Austin's eyes.

He was looking at her, "Not bad."

Suny moved two-thirds of the beef left in front of her to him, "Here you are."

Austin didn't move, "I don’t know how to boil these."

"..."

Suny froze for a while. She looked at Austin, and suddenly smiled, "Could it be that you want me to boil these for you?"

Was he insane?

"My stomach hurts a little."

Yes, Austin had stomach problems, which was serious.

But what did this have to do with her?

"Oh."

Suny responded, but still had no intention of helping him.

She had never served others like this.

Austin actually wanted her to serve him!

At this time, a young woman suddenly came over and looked straight at Austin, "Hey, may I have your phone number?"

The woman was pretty good-looking. But with Suny here, she was instantly eclipsed.

Austin glanced at Suny and replied coldly, "No."

"Is it because this lady? Miss, don't get me wrong. I just want to get his phone number to thank you guys for giving us food just now!"

Austin frowned and felt impatient with the ignorant woman, "Please don't disturb our meal."

The woman pursed her lips and glanced at Austin again. Seeing him with a cold face, she left sadly.

When Suny was almost full, she put down her chopsticks and took out a tissue to gently wipe her mouth.

As soon as she put down the tissue, Suny saw Austin put two pieces of beef into the pot, "How long does it take to eat them?"

Suny felt that Austin was also a little poor. After sitting for half an hour, he only ate the two pieces of beef that she made.

So she responded, "When the color changed."

"Is that okay?"

Suny glanced at it, "Not yet."

Austin was also smart. After boiling one, he knew when the beef was okay to eat.

Suny looked at the time. She planned to go to the police station. Lawyer Bates should be there.

"I've paid the check. I have to go first."

However, as soon as she got up, Austin raised his hand and grabbed her wrist, "He should have not been there yet. Wait for me."

He looked at her. The expression on his face was a little indifferent but somewhat resolute.

Suny said, "I'm going for a walk to digest."

Austin didn't speak, but the hand that held her wrist tightened a little.

Suny struggled a bit, but she didn't shake off his hands.

She frowned, "Let me go."

"I'll accompany you there after eating."

He found that hot pot was not so bad.

Suny was a little angry, but she couldn't get him away. There were so many people around. She didn't want to be surrounded by others, so she could only sit there, "Well, I'll wait for you, but you have to let my hands go first."

Hearing her words, Austin let her go.

Suny retracted her hand. Glancing at her somewhat red wrist, she was a little angry, "I forgot to use the serving chopsticks when I put the beef into the pot just now."

Austin, who was boil the mutton, glanced at her, "I don't mind it."

This attack didn’t work. Suny was upset.

She laughed angrily, "Don’t you dislike others to touch your food?"

When she gave the food with her own chopsticks to Austin for the first time, she forgot to use the serving chopsticks. Then he just put the whole bowl of rice aside and got a new one.

Although it was such a trifle, she still remembered it and it became a thorn in her heart.

Thinking of it now after so long, Suny still felt upset.
