EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 159

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I see that Dexter still has other intention, this goddaughter is just a stopgap measure, in the end, he still wants Suny to be his daughter-in-law!"

Elijah looked at Suny, who was taken away by Dexter, and could not help but sigh.

It was fine if he didn't say anything, but when he did, Austin's heart sank even lower.

When Elijah saw that Austin did not speak, he took a sip of red wine and raised his hand to touch him again, "What's on your mind?"

Austin looked at him coldly, "Are you thinking that boxing gyms in A City hard to find?"

Elijah: "......"

It was just a few taunts, so there was no need to beat him!

Suny had already been brought to the stage by Dexter, and because of what Dexter had just said, Suny on stage was already the focus of the whole audience.

Austin walked down the stage and could hear the people talking about her.

"Dexter has lived for sixty years, he can't be wrong in reading people, he admires Suny so much, I think Suny shouldn't be as bad as the rumours say!"

"And look at such a big stage, standing on it, she is not timid at all!"

"Suny is pretty! I can understand why Frank likes her. With Suny's face, if I were a man, I would go after her too!"

"In fact, my friends over in J City said that Suny is quite nice, and after she divorced Austin, she was even in the hot seat a few times, so I see that she really wants to divorce Austin, and it's not some kind of tricks for more money!"

......

Austin was in the middle, with the private whispers of people around him about Suny in his ears, and Suny standing on the stage in front of him.

She wore a long flower embroidered dress today, her long hair all tied up, revealing her neck. She was standing beside Dexter, Frank was beside her. Suny tilted her head slightly, hooked her lips and smiled, her eyes shining brightly inside.

He remembered that when he was married, she seemed to be the same way when she spoke to him, her eyes looking at him with a full smile, his reflection clearly visible inside her dark pupils.

At that time, Suny's whole heart and eyes were all about him.

But after the divorce, she had never looked at him so tenderly and affectionately again.

He didn’t know the difference until he had a comparison.

When she didn't love him, he really was nothing in her eyes.

From the time he appeared in her time of trouble to the time she got out of it and was taken away, she had only seen him when he walked towards her after he had spoken.

Since then, her eyes had not even rested on his body again.

The hope that Suny's silence had brought him that night was just silently shattered.

She was beautiful, intelligent, gentle and generous, and no one who pursued her was worse than him.

Austin wondered for a moment if he could still, in fact, chase her back again.

After greeting his acquaintances, Elijah found Austin looking at Suny on stage, and from this angle of his, Austin was as despondent as he could be.

To be honest, he was tempted to go over and laugh at him.

But when he walked up to Austin, the words on Elijah's lips couldn't come out.

He just suddenly felt that Austin was truly pitiful.

It was so pathetic that he was embarrassed to laugh at him and had to replace it with a comforting remark, "Be positive, you've had a woman as wonderful as Suny as your wife anyhow!"

These words were like an arrow that hit the bull's eye, and Austin was stabbed with pain in his heart.

He was not even in the mood to care Elijah's gloating, closing his eyes and lowering his brows, his whole being trapped in the shadow of the next person: "She is really gone."

Elijah had known Austin for so many years and had rarely seen him like this, sighing, "You don't have to be so downhearted, the reason why Dexter wants to recognize Suny as his goddaughter, have you ever thought that it was mostly because Suny doesn't want to be his daughter-in-law? So it seems that Suny must have rejected Frank, that at least proves that although she doesn't have you in her heart right now, she doesn't have anyone else either."

Austin's heart was stabbed again, but Elijah's words were rarely reliable, and he faintly looked up at him, "Who else has bullied Suny in the past besides me?"

He had said he was sorry, but the others hadn't.

Elijah raised his eyebrows: "You are enlightened."

Austin didn't want to talk to him: "Give me a list by tomorrow morning, or I'll see you at the gym the day after tomorrow."

"......"

The cake on the stage was already cut, and Dexter handed the first piece of cake he cut with his own hands to Suny, to show his solemn attitude and determination to accept her as his goddaughter.

Suny took the cake, smiled and said thank you.

Austin had been watching her under the stage for some time, and she looked up slightly.

From a distance of seven or eight metres, Austin just looked at her.

The smile on Suny's face faded and she withdrew her eyes. Frank asked her if she was tired, if so, he could take her upstairs to rest.

Suny thought for a moment, "Okay."

She wasn't tired, but she didn't really want to stay here anymore.

"Then I'll have someone take you up to the rest room."

Frank was busy today, even if he wanted to see Suny up personally, he could not.

Suny shook her head, "Don't bother, Mr. Frank, I'll just go there myself, you go and get busy."

She was indeed flattered by Dexter's actions today, and Suny was somewhat faintly embarrassed.

Frank didn't force her, for he still had to see quite a few uncles off!

"OK, call me if you need anything!"

Suny gave a smile, "Okay, I will be fine."

Frank hummed, "Can't you see many people are leering at you today? Maybe some of those would come out and rush to you!"

Frank was really busy and waved his hand after he finished and walked off stage to entertain people.

Suny nodded and as she was about to turn around and leave for the lounge, she suddenly noticed someone watching her not far away.

She inclined her head to look over and found that it was a man who was talking to Dexter.

Dexter knew that today's events were indeed a bit abrupt, so he didn't ask Suny to follow again.

The man who was talking to Dexter at this moment was Robert Murphy.

The Murphy family was a remarkable one. Robert Murphy's grandfather was a retired general, his grandmother was the founder of Eastern Technology, which was now run by his father, Walter Murphy. Robert was in politics, he was thirty-five, but he was already the secretary of the municipal party committee.

This time, Robert came over to congratulate Dexter on behalf of his family.

Seeing Suny look over, Robert nodded, then withdrew his gaze and smiled at Dexter: "Dexter, you do have a good eye."

The Holmes family was good friends with the Murphy family, Dexter and Walter were university classmates, and was natural for him to tell the Murphy family about recognizing his goddaughter, otherwise it would be detrimental to the friendship.

He was just pointing out Suny to Robert, explaining his thoughts.

Robert, a real tycoon, looked gentle to others but was actually cold and arrogant. He was now just being polite, but Dexter did not care too much about it and changed the topic.
