EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 141

As Suny had just stepped out from the foyer, she saw Austin on the sofa. It was rare for him not to wear a suit today, with a thin black jumper on top and a pair of trousers of the same colour on the bottom.

Suny walked to the bar to the side, pouring herself a glass of water.

She didn't turn around when Austin got up and walked over, but she could feel him coming towards her.

But in two seconds' time, Austin had already walked up to her.

Suny picked up her cup and took a sip of the warm water, then inclined her head to look at him.

Austin hadn't seen Suny for half a month and heard that she had gone to B City on a business trip and stayed there for nearly ten days.

She wore a maple-coloured jumper today and a white skirt underneath. Her long hair was cascading down and there was an indescribable gentleness to her.

For a moment, Austin wanted to take her into his arms, but held back: "Jennifer has apologized."

"I got it, thanks."

Suny smiled, and there was even a bit of coldness under her eyes: "Anything wrong, Mr. Johnson?"

"My leg is a bit sore."

He suddenly made an unrelated remark.

Suny looked at him, "Do you need me to call the hospital?"

There was no half-hearted concern within the words.

She returned to the cold and distant way she had been when she first divorced him, and Austin only felt as if his heart was being scraped by a sharp knife.

The pain in his legs was real, but the pain in his heart was worse.

Inside the large living room, it was just the two of them, and the silence of no one speaking was somewhat terrifying.

Suny put the cup down in her hand and tried to lift her leg to leave.

She didn't really want to be alone in a room with Austin like this.

"Your words the other day were right, I really are not good enough for you, I can easily ignore you when I don't like you, and I only care more about my mood when I do. I'm sorry, Suny."

Austin had said sorry many times, but Suny did not care about it.

Only this time.

She couldn't lift her legs a bit for some reason.

"Mr. Johnson, don't be presumptuous, you're very good, I just mean that the two of us don't fit. Your feelings for me today are nothing more than resignation, and if I hadn't lived as well as you saw after I left you, perhaps you wouldn't like me so much."

She said, after a pause, "You will surely find someone you really like in the future."

"I admit I did it out of reluctance."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Austin reached out his hand, but did not catch her wrist as he had done last time.

Suny paused and tilted her head slightly to look at him, waiting for him to continue.

"But being reluctant and loving you are not contradictory."

Suny gave a smile: "Then can you tell if you want to be with me again for the sake of reluctance or for love?"

With that, she raised her hand and pushed his away, walking straight ahead.

"But Suny, this is the first time I love someone, there are many things I don't understand and I can only learn it slowly, but you can't think I don't know if I love you or not."

Suny paused in her steps and gave a slight snort, "But Austin, it's also the first time I love someone."

So why should she yield to him?

Suny went straight downstairs and just after she reached the second floor, she saw Elijah and Antonio and the others.

When he saw her coming down, Elijah subconsciously glanced upstairs, "Suny, you're leaving so soon? We're playing mahjong, three short of one, will you join?"

Suny looked at him with a wry smile, "Don’t you know Austin is on the third floor?"

Elijah smiled, "Really? Is Austin here too? Haha, I thought he didn't come today, his leg still hasn't recovered, how come he's here?"

Suny was too lazy to watch Elijah act, "I still have something to do, I'll leave first."

At this time, Antonio suddenly spoke up, "There are still five minutes left before the cake is cut."

Hearing this, Suny inclined her head and gave Antonio a glance, then looked at Elijah: "Three short of one, is it?"

Elijah froze for a moment, and after reacting, he nodded his head: ''Yes, yes, three short of one! Come on! Let's come over here!"

With that, he hurriedly pulled Antonio, "Aren’t we going to play mahjong? Now that we have enough people, hurry up!"

Elijah said while squeezing his eyebrows, and Suny, watching from the side, felt aggrieved for him.

The mahjong room was clean and didn't smell much like cigarettes or alcohol. It was raining outside and the air was quite fresh with the car windows open on one side to ventilate.

Suny took her seat and unhurriedly took out her mobile phone, "How much you guys want to play, Mr. Brooks?"

Elijah just wanted to keep Suny stay. They usually played thousands, but he was afraid that Suny would leave.

He thought for a moment and held up a finger, "Just ten, ten."

Suny hooked her lips and smiled, "Okay."

Half an hour later, Elijah looked at the pile of chips in front of Suny and was somewhat glad that he had wisely said "ten" before he started the game, if he had said "one hundred", if Suny continued to win, he would lost hundreds of thousands.

However, after four rounds, Suny had already won ten thousands.

It wasn't that Elijah was sad about the money, he just didn't know why he was so unlucky tonight.

Originally, he only wanted to keep Suny stay, but as he played, Elijah's eyes turned red.

After another half hour, Suny had won over twenty thousands.

She took a look at Elijah, who was like a defeated rooster, and planned to let him win one round, so that she could leave.

However, just as she was about to do so, a man’s hand reached out and put the one she was about to play back and replacing it with one: "This one."

Suny froze for a moment, wondering when Austin had entered.

Seeing her looking at him, Austin's eyes moved, "Place the one you like."

Elijah glared at Austin, "Austin, you're cheating!"

Austin was not the only one here, so Suny could not say anything but put back her card.

"Haha! I win!"

Elijah had been losing all night, and when he finally won, he said with excitement, "Tsk tsk tsk, it's still Suny who knows how to play cards!"

Tate on the side couldn't see him being so proud: "That was because Suny let you win, do you really think you can win on your own?"

"What kind of bullshit is that! You haven't had won all night, how dare you blame me!"

Tate shrugged: "It wasn't me who lost the most either."

Elijah: "......"

"Keep going!"

Elijah couldn't get carried away and pushed the mahjong inside.

Suny looked to him, "Mr. Brooks, it's late, I'm going back."

"What? It's not even eight o'clock, are you back so early? Is he affecting your play here? I think he's affecting us too! Don't worry, I'll help you get him out!"

In order to play mahjong, Elijah had forgotten why he had dragged Suny to play mahjong in the first place.

Suny shook her head and spoke again in a somewhat resolute tone, "I'm used to going to bed early, let’s make an appointment another day, let's stop here for today."

Elijah was originally also making a gesture, since Suny was so resolute, he dared not push Austin out, "Alright, then I see you off."

With that, he squeezed his eyes at Austin.

Suny was worried that his eyes would be squeezed into a line if he squeezed them so much.

Never mind, she kindly opened her mouth, "Don't bother, my car is downstairs."

She nodded at the others as she finished, got up with her bag and headed out.

When Elijah saw the chips on the table, there was almost thirty thousand!

"Hey, your money!"

"Give it to Jasmine, a gift to her."

When Suny finished speaking, he was already out of the room.
