EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 160

As Suny had not long walked out of the venue, she saw Austin who was on the phone inside the aisle.

She didn’t know who was on the other end of the phone and what they said, but Austin frowned, his face colder than the moonlight outside.

He was in a bad mood.

Seeing her, Austin hung up the phone straight away and stood there looking at her.

Suny walked up to him and stopped, smiling lightly: "Thank you."

She was sincere.

Austin looked at her, saying, "No need."

It was only then that he realized that she had really suffered a lot during the three years she had been married to him.

Thinking about what Ivan said on the phone just now, Austin only felt a blockage in his throat, he didn't even know how to mention those things in the past to her.

Elijah was right, he was not the one who bullied Suny, but it was also because of his attitude towards her that those people bullied her.

Suny raised her eyebrows, wondering what kind of reaction Austin was having, "I'm going to the rest room."

But whatever his reaction was, it was none of her business.

With that, she crossed over to him and headed for the lift.

"Suny."

He opened his mouth and called out to her, his low voice suppressed, but Suny did not want to probe into it.

She looked back at him with a slight frown, "Is something wrong?"

There shouldn't be anything between them.

Austin had lived for so many years and had never found it so difficult to say just one short sentence.

"Did you have a very aggravating time for those three years?"

He knew he had asked a useless and even hurtful question, but he still wanted to hear her say it himself.

Because that was the only way he would find out he was really an asshole.

Suny did not expect him to ask such a question. She had divorced for more than a year, but she still remembered what happened during the three years of her marriage.

No aggravation?

That was not possible.

But it was pointless for Austin to ask this question now: "Yes and no, it doesn't matter anymore."

At least for her, it really didn't matter.

She got through it.

"I'm sorry."

Apart from a pale, feeble apology, Austin found that he really couldn't do much.

What else he could probably do was to get all those who had bullied and hurt her to come to her and apologize and admit their mistakes.

He had to pay her back.

Suny collected the smile on her face, looked at him for a moment, didn't say anything and lifted her leg into the lift.

She would not forgive him, and certainly did not need his sorry.

Austin did not lift his leg to go after her, knowing that he would only make Suny disgust him even more.

He just stood there, watching that lift door close.

From start to finish, Suny stood inside the lift without giving him another glance.

He was an asshole and he knew it.

Suny sat in the rest room for half an hour, and after Dexter come up, she went upstairs to her room to prepare for her bath and rest.

Yet with all that had happened tonight, someone was destined to have a hard time sleeping late at night.

At eleven o'clock at night, however, the Murphy family’s villa was ablaze with lights.

When Robert returned home at just half past ten, he approached Walter to talk about the coincidence of the night, but halfway through the conversation, it was overheard by his grandfather Charlie Murphy who had gotten up. Charlie immediately had the lights turned on and the family was all in the living room.

Robert first showed the photos he had taken and some photos he had found on the internet to Charlie who instantly had red eyes, "It's Maryam! This is Maryam!"

It was well known to the Murphy family that there was one person in the Murphy family that no one could mention: Maryam Murphy, the aunt of Robert who was abducted and sold away forty years ago.

Robert's grandmother Amy, who was diagnosed with lung cancer five years ago, had been enduring chemotherapy and radiotherapy in order to see her lost little daughter in her lifetime, just to believe that Maryam was still alive.

Just two months ago, the hospital issued a critical illness notice and Amy was taken back to her home country.

The doctor said she only had a month at most, but today, Amy was still alive, lying in the ICU, just waiting for her poor little daughter to come home!

The Murphy family had searched for Maryam for so long, always believing that Maryam was still alive, and when Robert saw Suny today, his heart was shaken.

Suny looked too much like Maryam, and all these years he had taken Maryam's photos and asked around for someone to find his aunt, so Robert could conjure it up what his aunt looked like as soon as he closed his eyes.

But he didn't dare to take the plunge; His grandparents had been disappointed many times over the years, and now in this state of his grandma, she could no longer afford to be disappointed again.

He had someone check out Suny on the spot, time was limited and a lot of things could not be checked in detail, but it was enough to prove that Suny was really his aunt's daughter!

"It's Maryam!"

When Walter saw the photo, his eyes got wet.

Robert looked at his father and grandfather, although he could not bear it, he had to tell the truth: "Grandpa, Dad, this is not aunt, this is aunt's daughter. Aunt passed away in a car accident ten years ago."

"Dad--"

"Grandpa!"

The Murphy family was in chaos as Charlie passed out.

Suny, the one who started it all, was totally unaware of it.

She had finished her mask and turned out the light for bed.

And at that moment, at the door of the room, there stood a man in a suit.

This man was no one but Austin.

Elijah saw Austin being drunk for the first time. He didn't know that Austin was so difficult to deal with, and on the way back from the bar, the two of them were met with a lot of blank stares!

He had been friends with Austin for 30 years, but he even had to urge to leave him alone!

Elijah really regretted it, why did he drag Austin to drink?

Austin gave him a blank look or told him to get lost when Elijah asked him to drink, but Austin agreed to go to bar with him tonight.

The two arrived at the bar, without saying anything, ordered wine and poured it into their mouths one cup at a time, and Elijah couldn't even stop Austin.

Elijah thought Austin would not be drunk.

However in fact he was wrong, Austin was really drunk.

He was drunk but sober, and he talked a lot, repeating "I'm sorry".

All the way from the bar to the hotel, many people looked at them, thinking that the two were some kind of absolute scumbags.

When they reached the hotel, Austin did not go back to his own room and had to stay in Suny's room.

Elijah really couldn't hold it in and had to go to the toilet. When he came back from the toilet, he saw this scene: Austin was leaning against the door of Suny's room, his long legs tilted and his half-body bent, which looked suppressing.

"Are you sure you don't want to go back to your room?"

Elijah rubbed his temples and walked over to ask a question.

Austin didn't even look at him, "Get lost."

Elijah laughed in exasperation, "Okay, I worked so hard to bring you back, and you ask me to get lost. Fine, I will leave you alone!"

He got a temper too!

But after walking two steps and looking back, Elijah could not help but sigh.

He was really a bit pathetic.

"Ugh, don't say I'm not helping you!"

After saying that, Elijah raised his hand and knocked hard on the door: "Miss, room service, please open the door."

Austin was drunk, he was sober, but his reflection was very slow, as he had just finished understanding Elijah's words, Elijah had already finished knocking and ran away.

He had just frowned, the door to the room was suddenly pulled open, and Austin failed to stand firm and fell straight in.

He didn't fall on the floor, but on Suny's hand, "Austin?"
