EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 198

The rain fell fast and heavy.

The rain fell to the ground, hitting the steps and drifting somewhat onto the tops of her shoes.

Suny glanced at Austin, pressed his fingerprints and pushed the door open to enter the villa.

She had just gotten sweaty and originally thought of taking a shower after returning the cufflink to Austin, but Austin now followed her in. Thinking of what had just happened at the boxing gym, Suny's face turned cold as she poured a glass of water and put it in front of him, "Water."

He drank up.

"Thanks."

Austin looked up at her, "It's raining."

Leave again when the rain stops.

Suny was exasperated, "Austin, I don't think you want to go to the police station with me today, do you?"

"Yes."

He answered and opened the box.

After seeing the cufflink inside, his eyes sank slightly, but in just a moment, he collected his expression and looked up at Suny: "The cufflink was ripped off by Mandy that day at the airport."

With that, he paused and added, "The clothes have been thrown away."

With these words, Austin raised his hand and threw the box into the trash.

A cufflink costing several thousand, Austin would throw it away.

Suny, "Oh."

It had nothing to do with her.

The rain was pouring hard outside the window and Suny inclined her head to look, "Have you finished the water?"

Drink up and get lost.

Austin looked at the glass in front of him, "I will go when the rain stops."

Suny had already guessed that Austin would stay, she did not want to deal with him anymore and turned around and went upstairs.

This time Suny locked the door to her room behind her before entering the bathroom.

It was twenty minutes after Suny came out of the shower, and it was still raining outside, but much less.

She looked at the time and it was after five o'clock.

No need to think, that shameless man Austin downstairs must not have left yet.

Suny unplugged the hairdryer and walked downstairs.

She had just reached the corner of the stairs and she heard Austin's voice from downstairs.

Suny walked straight down the stairs.

"Bye then."

Austin answered to the person on the other end of the phone and then cut the call off.

He inclined his head to look at Suny, who had just finished showering, her hair fluffily draped behind her, wearing a loose thin jumper and a pair of straight and slender legs under black slim-fit trousers.

Austin's throat twitched, and when he saw her looking at him, he walked over to the sofa and sat down, "The clothes inside the room are missing."

Suny poured a glass of water, "I threw it away."

"Well, I know."

Austin looked at her and suddenly laughed softly.

He seldom smiled, Suny had known him for so many years, but she had never seen him smile, always with that cold, indifferent face.

Now that he smiled, the harshness of his features was less, and his seeping black eyes even had more tenderness.

Suny had to admit that Austin was really handsome.

Not wanting to be compelled by this deceitful face any longer, Suny lowered her head, but her eyes fell on the openness of his robe's neckline.

After she found out that Austin had left his clothes in the guest room, Suny asked the cleaner to come over the next day and throw away all the clothes Austin had put in the closet in the guest room, leaving a set of even-sized bathrobes there for the guests.

Unexpectedly, Austin ran out of clothes and wore a bathrobe.

He was sitting on that sofa, his loose bathrobe folding out into many gaps, and Suny could see half of his body.

Suny felt that he did it on purpose.

She withdrew her eyes and ducked her head to drink her water.

The rain outside the window had lessened, so Suny put down her glass of water and spoke to expel her guest: "The rain has lessened, you can go now."

"It's a rude thing to do when you go out in a bathrobe."

"Oh, it wouldn't be a rude thing to stay at someone's house with permission?"

Austin looked at her, his eyebrows soft and harmonious: "Being rude in front of someone I like will make me seem more real."

Suny choked on him, unable to speak.

Austin refused to leave and Suny had no other choice.

She stopped caring about him, took out her phone and started ordering takeaway.

"Order a takeaway?"

He sat over at some point and Suny frowned, "Austin."

"Takeaway is no good, I'll ask Ivan to bring over dinner, don't order it."

As if unaware of her anger, he raised his hand and took her phone over to the table, "Suny, can we talk?"

He suddenly gathered his composure and his dark eyes looked straight at her.

Suny was stunned, and in response, she smiled coolly, "Austin, what do you think there is to talk about between us?"

"There is."

Suny, however, didn't think so: "Oh, that's probably an illusion on your part."

"Suny."

He called out to her suddenly, a touch of helplessness in his low voice.

For a moment, it was as if Suny had been struck.

But she quickly reacted, "I admit I still have feelings for you now, but I won’t make same mistake twice, Austin."

She had gambled on him, and when she lost, she admitted it.

But now he was asking her to gamble again, sorry, she really didn't have the courage.

"I know what you're afraid of, Suny."

Those dark eyes were like a whirlpool, and the slightest carelessness was all it took to be sucked in.

Suny inclined her eyes slightly, "So what else is there to talk about?"

As they spoke, the doorbell rang.

Austin got up straight away, "I'll go get the door."

He said, gave her a look and turned to go down the stairs.

"Okay."

It looked like it was Ivan who had arrived.

Suny thought that the conversation ended here, but she didn't expect that just now was only the beginning.

Austin fetched something up from Ivan, and in addition to dinner for two, he had an extra folder in his hand.

He put the dinner on the table, then walked to the sofa to re-sit beside Suny, "This is all the shares and real estate in my name, as well as all the cash in my account, if I let you lose again, I'll give anything to you."

Suny's heart skipped a beat, but her face did not move: "I'm not short of money."

"I know."

He knew that, but he also knew what she was afraid of.

Austin put the document on the coffee table, "Suny, I'm not forcing you, I'm just showing my sincerity."

He had thought about it a lot over the past few days and realized that he didn't really have much of an advantage in this path of pursuing Suny.

In the end, it was only because she liked him that he was able to appear before her again and again.

Suny was not short of money and she was not a money hungry person.

If she wanted Austin’s those fortunes, a year ago she would not have divorced.

She asked for nothing, she didn't give a damn about anything from him.

Now he was begging her to come back, and these sincere intentions that seem to weigh a thousand pounds to outsidersy, in Suny's view, were only his last move at the end of his rope.

Suny didn't say anything, when Austin thought she married him for money, now he had sent all his fortune to her in order to woo her again.

It was money that many people could not earn in a few lifetimes, and all she had to do was nod her head and it was hers.

With such a vulgar approach, it seemed that Austin was really at the end of his rope.

She looked at Austin and answered his question with a straight face, "Does your mother know about all the things you've done?"

If Grace knew, she would have to be beaten to death, right?

"She can't sway me."

Suny was about to speak again and Austin suddenly raised his hand and touched her head, "Let's eat, you don't need to give me an answer in a hurry."

He hadn't wanted an answer today.
