EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 181

As Suny had just walked down the hall, she bumped into the coach, who called out to her and she had to stop, "Coach."

"You know Austin?"

"Yes."

She answered, but clearly did not want to say more.

The coach smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that he's been practising over here for seven or eight years too, if I'd known you knew each other, I'd have arranged for you to be together."

Suny was stunned for a moment, she had been practicing here since she was in college, now it was eight or nine years.

After all this time, she and Austin had never met once here, so it seemed that it was really fate without a chance.

"He shouldn't like being with anyone else."

Suny finished and ended the conversation, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first, coach."

With that, she nodded, withdrew her eyes and continued on her way out.

Walking out of the boxing gym, it was still raining outside and the sky was still cloudy.

Her umbrella was placed inside the storage room, the rain in front of her was not too heavy, so Suny did not want to go back to get her umbrella, carried the bag tightly in her hand and stepped directly into the rain.

The car park was not far away, but the rain suddenly became heavy on the way, so Suny had to run to the veranda of the flat on the side to escape the rain.

The twenty-four hour convenience store next door had several young people buying cigarettes in it.

The boy, 16 or 17 years old and still wearing the uniform of the nearby high school, asked for a packet of cigarettes and walked out.

Suny watched as the three of them sat down by the bin and lowered their heads to light their cigarettes.

They were young, but a veteran in the smoking game.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the rain splashed in and back, hitting Suny's shoes.

She looked down and then took a step back.

The smell of smoke from the few boys smoking next to her was so heavy that Suny raised her eyebrows slightly and inclined her head to watch them exhale with a mouthful of smoke.

After looking at it for a moment, she lifted her leg and walked over, "Is it good?"

The boy who bought the cigarettes narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a moment. After seeing Suny's face clearly, the boy was stunned for a moment, and then the hostility under his eyes suddenly dissipated and he answered nervously, "No."

Suny smiled, "I see you guys seem to be enjoying yourselves."

Boys of this age were stubborn but also very respectful.

Suny's smiling face did not look like she was coming over to pick a fight, but her words had so many meanings that some people could not help but misunderstand that Suny was being sarcastic.

The three men looked at each other and it was the boy who bought the cigarettes who spoke up, "You want a taste?"

Suny looked down at the cigarette he handed over and nodded, "Thank you."

She said, following their example and clipping up a cigarette, pursing it over her lips and reaching out to ask for a lighter when one of the boys had already raised his hand to light it for her.

Suny looked at him askance, lowered her head with her cigarette.

Very choking.

Suny hastily removed the cigarette from inside her mouth, "Thanks, I think it might not suit me."

She said, pressing out the freshly lit cigarette in her hand at a side bin.

The boy lighting the cigarette asked her, "In a bad mood?"

Suny smiled, didn't answer and turned to go into the convenience store.

When she came out, a couple of boys had finished their cigarettes and were ready to leave.

Suny called out to them, "Hey, smoking is not good for your health, maybe you guys can try this."

She said, raising her hand and throwing over the boxes of mints she had just bought.

The three boys subconsciously reached out to catch it, and when they saw it was a mint, one boy snorted.

Suny just hooked her lips once, tore open the package, threw a mint candy inside her mouth, and then went into the rain with the umbrella she had just bought.

The cold mint melted inside her mouth, and Suny felt that she had never been more awake.

She walked to the car park, collected her umbrella and got into her car.

When she returned to the villa, the rain had not yet subsided.

Suny, however, was exhausted and after taking a hot bath, fell into bed and fell asleep.

She did not wake up after 7pm and when she woke up, it was dark all around.

Her head was dizzy and her nose was not comfortable.

She got a cold.

Suny hadn't had a cold in almost two years and had forgotten what it was like to have one.

The feeling of being top-heavy was so bad that Suny didn't want to order takeaway and cooked a random bowl of noodles, not having an appetite, and only ate half of it.

When Alicia called her voice over, Suny was hesitant to take cold medicine.

She glanced at her phone and closed the pillbox straight away, taking it back to her room, "Hello?" "Suny, about that variety show I told you about yesterday, tomorrow I'll ask Joan to bring you a copy of the contract, you can sign it."

Suny sat on the bed with a slight headache: "How long will it take to record?"

"Don't worry, I'll only sign up for three issues, just to record for a week!"

Hearing Alicia's words, Suny was amused, "How much is the performance fee?"

"Don't worry, you'll be satisfied! Well, remember to sign the contract tomorrow, so I won't disturb your rest! Bye!"

After saying that, Alicia hung up the phone.

Suny gave a laugh, knowing that it was probably very unsatisfactory.

Never mind, it was a friendly gig anyway.

"M, turn off the lights."

Hopefully, when she woke up tomorrow with a good night's sleep, her cold would be gone.

Austin had already smoked a whole pack of cigarettes, and the phone on the desktop kept ringing, but Austin didn't even look at it.

He was the only one in the large villa, and after Grace and Tina were driven away by him, he moved back in on his own.

The room he lived in today was once his and Suny's wedding room, and the butler said that Suny took nothing with her the day she left, except for the things she brought with her when she arrived.

After she moved out, Grace had all the used items in the room burned in a fire.

He didn't think anything of it at the time, but now he felt heartbroken and angry.

He remembered that she had once posted one afternoon of the succulents on the balcony of this room.

But now the balcony was bare, with nothing on it, and the succulents that she once kept so well, he didn’t know if she took them away, or if Grace had them thrown away.

In the end, he couldn't keep anything anyway.

Whether was was Suny or her things, he could not keep anything.

Oh, not really, there was an earring.

It was accidentally left behind by Jasmine on her birthday that day. It seemed to have her initials engraved on it, and he had intended to return it to her, but now he had selfishly kept it.

After all, he had nothing left.

While lost in thought, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room.

Austin frowned for a moment, the servants inside the villa had already been dispersed, except for the Johnson family's old butler, there were no other servants present.

At this hour, the old butler had long since gone to bed.

"Austin, it's me, there's something big I need to talk to you about!"

Elijah called Austin a dozen times and no one answered. Thinking of his red eyes in the afternoon, he thought that Austin would probably be sad, plus he had just discovered something big, so he drove over here overnight.

Just as the words left his mouth, the door to the room pulled open and Austin, who was wearing a bathrobe, looked at him coldly, "You'd better be on business."
