EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 153

Austin drank most of another glass of water, the warm water made his burning throat feel much better.

"I'm sorry, I did it on purpose."

He tilted his head and looked at her, not denying it.

Suny raised her eyebrows: "The guest room is the first one around the corner over there, there are new toiletries in there, but no men's pajamas or clothes. Take a shower and have a rest, in the morning, Elijah will come over to pick you up."

"Suny."

Before Suny turned around, he suddenly reached out and took the wrist of her left hand.

He had a fever and his palm was burning.

Suny felt the heat that she subconsciously jerked her hand.

If Austin really wanted to force her, she would have nowhere to go.

Suny snorted lightly and twisted her head to look at him, not saying anything, just looking at him.

Austin looked uncomfortable at her, his Adam’s apple moved slightly, "I know what you will think of me as despicable, shameless and nasty, I really am."

He said, his eyes falling on her cute little finger, Austin was tempted to touch it but restrained himself and let go: "Since that day, I didn't dare to appear in front of you, afraid that you would see me. You were right, I was indeed selfish, not even giving you a look when I didn't like you, and wishfully wanting to be with you when I did."

"I don't know what it's like when other people love someone, but when I love you, I miss you, want to see you, hug you, kiss you, and when I see another man appearing by your side, I feel terrible, and I regret and suffer when I remember how cold I used to treat you. I admit I'm selfish, but I can't help myself."

Austin paused for a moment, looking up at her, the corners of those dark eyes suddenly flushed red, "Could you, please, give me a chance to walk towards you?"

Suny had never seen such Austin. When she met him at the age of fifteen, he was a boy; when she married him at the age of twenty-three, he had made his achievement; when she divorced him at the age of twenty-six, he was still the son of a famous family, unattainable.

He was always so reserved and lofty, and the most he gave her was disdain and a cold stare.

But this was the same man who now pled with red eyes for a second chance.

She thought she would be as decisive as she had been in the divorce, but she could not say no.

She was really just an ordinary woman who would be resentful and painful when she could not get the one she liked.

The ten years of fondness that she gave, she could not recover overnight.

She was clear that she could not turn back, yet she could not refuse such a humble plea from Austin.

That was despicable.

He knew full well that she had loved him for ten years.

Suny closed her eyes and didn't refuse or agree: "You have a fever, go to bed early."

"Suny."

Before she could leave completely, Austin got up and caught up with her.

Suny paused but did not turn to look at him.

Austin hesitated, lifted his legs and walked up to her, looking down straight into those charming eyes: "I know I did a lot of wrong things in the past because I never thought I would fall in love with someone. After the divorce I often thought of the day we first got married, you smiled and said to me: 'Austin, please take care of me for the rest of my life.’ You said the rest of your life, but how is it that after only three years you don't want to continue?"

"I know you're tired, but it's okay, I can walk to you."

When he mentioned the past, it was as if Suny remembered her innocent and ignorant self again.

It had been a long time since she had thought of the old days, and now that Austin had brought it up, Suny was hard to bear.

How naive she was then, to have the audacity to mention the rest of her life to him when she knew he didn't like her.

Suny bowed her head and then laughed out, "You wouldn't believe the silly things I said when I was young, would you?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she fell directly into a warm embrace.

Suny stiffened, they had been married for three years and he hadn't even hugged her.

"I believe, Suny."

He only gave her a hug, even seemed more gentlemanly than the vile and domineering way he had entered the house.

Austin let go of his hand, his eyes fell to the corners of her eyes, raising his hand to wipe away the tears frozen at the corners of her eyes, Suny instinctively inclined her head away.

He paused with his hand in mid-air for a long moment, then dropped it, "Go to sleep, don't worry about me, I'll be fine when I wake up tomorrow."

This was quite similar to what Elijah said. Suny gave him a faint look and really lifted her leg to go upstairs.

Only this night she slept badly, didn't even know if she was dreaming or not.

It was when the doorbell rang that she woke up from those fragmented dreams.

Startled, she got up and M alerted her that a visitor had come.

The rain had stopped, and as the day dawned, Suny reached for her phone to check the time.

It was already nine o'clock.

It was not surprising that she slept until now, having fallen asleep at nearly twelve o'clock last night, well past her biological clock time.

The visitor was most likely Elijah, so Suny didn't rush to open the door. She washed up and changed her clothes before she went downstairs with the intention of opening the door.

Just after walking down to the second floor, Austin also came out from the guest room.

Compared to last night, he could be considered glowing today.

Suny gave him a look, not mentioning last night's incident, "Mr. Brooks is here."

"Yep."

Austin looked at her, "I'll get the door."

Suny didn't respond to his words, "I'll see you off."

Elijah had come to pick him up, and Suny's words clearly meant that he would not be allowed to stay on.

Austin pursed his lips, not daring to say anything.

What he said last night looked like he was muddled with fever, but in fact he was sober.

He remembered all of Suny's reactions, and the silence that she had.

He didn't dare to push her any further. Besides, the dark circles under Suny's eyes were obvious, so she shouldn't have slept well last night, and he couldn't bear it.

The two of them left the villa one after the other, Elijah had been waiting for almost ten minutes, if Austin hadn't answered the phone and said he hadn't left yet, he would have planned to drive away.

Seeing Austin come out with Suny, Elijah couldn't help but say, "Not bad."

Suny looked at him with a wry smile, "Mr. Brooks' determination to not want to be a dog is quite strong."

Hearing Suny's dark sarcasm, Elijah smiled, not caring: "You haven't eaten breakfast, I've brought breakfast, this is......"

Before the words were spoken, Suny directly stopped him, "Yeah, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, I have to go back and make breakfast, so I won’t see you off."

With that, Suny took a step back, raised her hand and pushed the barred door, and with a "clang", the villa barred door closed directly.

Elijah's hand carrying the breakfast paused. He looked at Suny who was walking inside the villa, and finally looked at Austin: "What's going on? Last night at least you were allowed to enter the door, but today you're not even allowed to enter?"

Austin gave him a sidelong glance, "Don't you see that? Suny is not letting you in."

Elijah: "???"

Was he so unworthy?
