EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 170

It was past eleven o'clock in the evening when the plane landed at the airport of D CITY. The car that the Murphy family sent to pick them up was already waiting outside the airport.

After the three got out of the airport, they got in the car and headed to the villa of the Murphy family. There were many lights and shadows along the way, like the steps of returning home.

Forty minutes later, the car stopped downstairs the villa.

Suny glanced at the time on the phone. It was almost twelve o'clock.

"We’re here, Suny."

Robert, who was beside her, glanced at her and bent out of the car.

Suny followed and got out of the car. The lights in the villa were on. She followed Robert into the villa.

As soon as they entered, Suny saw a beautiful woman, "Is this Suny?"

The woman was somewhat similar to Robert. Suny guessed that this should be Lily Woods, Robert's mother.

Suny smiled slightly, "Hello, Auntie, I’m Suny."

Probably because Suny called her Auntie suddenly, Lily was stunned for a moment. After she realized it, she raised her hand and patted Suny on the shoulder, "Good girl, your grandfather is waiting for you upstairs."

"Okay."

Suny responded, and followed them upstairs.

Charlie Murphy was already eighty-five this year. He had his first child at the age of thirty. Maryam was his second child who was born when he was about forty.

Such a lovely daughter disappeared so suddenly.

Although he had almost kept silent about Maryam's affairs over the years, in the dead of night, he always held Maryam's childhood toys and spent sleepless nights.

They had been looking for Maryam for nearly 40 years, but there had been no news. They didn’t know whether she was alive or not.

When he heard Robert say that Maryam was found that night, he thought that God pitied him. But he didn't expect that Maryam and her husband died in an accident, leaving an only daughter.

Suny really looked too much like Maryam. Charlie recognized it at a glance. This was his granddaughter.

Robert broke the silence, "Grandpa, this is Suny, Auntie's daughter."

Charlie nodded and looked at Suny, "Good girl, come here and let Grandpa see you."

Suny walked over. The old man in his 80s had traces of the years on his hands. Now there were only wrinkles on his face. He was looking at her with stars in his eyes.

"These years, you suffered a lot."

Charlie raised his hand to touch Suny's face. Thinking of that his hand was covered with wrinkles, he put it down.

He closed his eyes, "It's getting late. Go to rest first. I'll take you to see your grandma tomorrow."

On the way here, Suny had imagined many scenes, scenes of excitement and tears, and scenes of silence, but she didn't expect it was so simple and true.

Robert didn't lie to her. The Murphy family had been waiting for her and her mother to go home.

The room was tidy up by Lily in person. Ever since she knew of Suny's existence, she had already asked the servant to tidy up the room.

This room was on the same floor as Robert's room. They two lived on the opposite side. It was conceivable that the Murphy family was really waiting for her to come back.

"Good girl, don't think too much. Go to sleep first. We'll take you to see your grandma tomorrow."

"Okay."

Suny nodded and glanced at Robert behind Lily, "Good night."

The villa at 1:00 in the morning was unusually quiet. In the past, Suny had already fallen asleep at this time. Now she was lying on the bed, but she was not sleepy at all.

It had only been five or six hours since the dinner, but a lot of things happened.

She was moved and happy that she now had family, but she felt upset for the grandmother she had never met.

Although Robert didn't say it clearly, Suny knew that Amy might die after seeing her tomorrow.

Ever since she stood alone outside the funeral home waiting for her parents' ashes when she was seventeen years old, she had been a little afraid of facing death.

All night, Suny thought about a lot of things. She didn't fall asleep until after four in the morning.

After seven o'clock, the alarm clock rang. Suny had a headache.

Suny frowned, sat up and looked at the unfamiliar things in front of her, feeling a little confused.

Yes, she came back to the villa of the Murphy family with Robert last night. Today, she was going to the hospital to see Amy.

Suny didn't sleep well last night, so she looked like a little bad.

Just after she washed her face, a servant came to remind her to go downstairs for breakfast.

Suny glanced at Alicia's message and raised her eyebrows. Then she replied, “Talk about it later.” After that, she went downstairs.

It was true that this matter couldn’t be explained clearly in a few words. Alicia asked her how she was related to Robert. Suny could only reply like this.

Last night, she and Robert were photographed at the airport. They were also photographed on the road from Bishounen to the parking lot. Early in the morning, the news about her and Robert became the heat on the Internet.

Hearing the footsteps, Suny put away the phone and looked up at Charlie, "Good morning, Grandpa."

Charlie also stayed awake almost all night. Now looking at his granddaughter, who was similar to his missing daughter, he was also very complicated.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Suny didn't want to lie, "I'm picky about beds."

Lily on the side smiled, "So does your brother."

As soon as she finished speaking, Robert also came downstairs and glanced at Suny, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Lily smiled and said, "Suny is like you. She is also picky about beds."

Robert smiled, "Yeah."

The atmosphere of the Murphy family was very good. There were no family rules to keep silent while eating or sleeping. Probably because they were afraid of Suny's embarrassment, Lily occasionally asked one or two questions about Suny's current situation.

Last year, the divorce of Suny and Austin was a big uproar. Lily didn't know the reason, but she didn't mention it for fear of poking Suny's sore pot.

After all, Robert was a public servant. He tried his best to switch his shifts when he went J City yesterday afternoon.

After breakfast, Robert went to work. Lily asked the servant to prepare some soup. At around nine o'clock, Suny went to the hospital with them.

It was not convenient for three people to take one car. Lily took a car by herself, and asked Suny and Charlie to take the other one.

Along the way, it was very quiet in the car.

Charlie was not talkative, nor was Suny. Without Lily, it was indeed difficult for they two to talk.

But Suny could feel that Charlie was looking at her all the time. She was about to speak when she heard he ask first, "Did your mother tell you about us?"

Suny shook her head, "No."

Charlie was stunned for a moment, only to feel heartbroken. His eyes moved, and there were some tears in his eyes.

Suny couldn't bear to see it, "My mother wasn't called Lacie before. She changed her name later when she married my father."

Maryam had been away for nearly ten years. No one knew why she changed her name.

But these words gave Charlie a little comfort. More than 30 years, they couldn't find her. They felt so guilty.

"Sir, Miss, here we are."

After the driver finished speaking, Charlie glanced at Suny, "We're here, Suny."

"Slow down."

Suny helped Charlie get out of the car first, and then got out of the car by herself.
