Chapter 183 I’ll Think You’re Saying You Like Me
“It wasn’t me, it was Elijah, he was bored and went to check on Robert and found out.”
Suny knew Austin wouldn’t lie, but she still felt inexplicably angry: “So what? You woke me up in the middle of the night just to ask me what my relationship with Robert is? What does my relationship with him have to do with you? What do you care what my relationship with him is? Austin, have you forgotten that we have been divorced for over a year, over a year, not a day, not a week, not even a month!”
“I’m sorry, I know I should have held back until tomorrow morning, I know it’s not the right time to wake you up. But after I separated from you this afternoon, I was going crazy. I even had vile thoughts about what would happen if I tied you to my side. But I stifled all these thoughts!
… the fight you had with me this afternoon, I know you want to be done with me once and for all. I know that after this afternoon, we should go our separate ways. I’ve thought about letting go too, I’ve even wished you happiness, and that’s because I thought you were going to marry Robert, I thought you were really in love with someone else.”
“But none of that is true now, you won’t marry Robert and you’re not in love with anyone else. Suny-”
At the end of his sentence, he suddenly called out to her, “I really regret not treating you properly for those three years, and I really want to start over with you. Before I met you, I really never thought about marriage, never thought about love.”
Suny looked up and suddenly smiled, “Really?”
“I don’t think so, Austin, why do you have to talk about yourself as if you are so deeply in love with me? I think there’s still a lot of buzz on the internet about you and Lexi.”
After the words were said, Suny regretted it.
She shouldn’t have brought it up, they were talking about her and Robert, about Austin running over in the middle of the night and waking her up, and she brought Lexi into it for no reason.
Austin was not stupid, if he were, he would not have managed KLOC so well, let alone let his grandfather choose him as the heir among so many grandchildren.
Suny’s words sounded like she was simply accusing him, yet she mentioned Lexi.
If she really didn’t care about him, she wouldn’t care about any of this.
Austin’s hand tightened slightly harder, pulling Suny closer towards his heels, “Suny, do you know who Lexi is?”
Suny did not want to know, she knew the answer was not what she wanted to hear.
She tried hard to push him away, but Austin’s hand around her waist was like an iron bar, and she couldn’t shake it no matter how hard she pushed.
“Let go of me, Austin!”
Austin did not let go, but even tightened his grip.
Suny’s entire body was almost pressed against his, and it was only then that he looked down at her and spoke, “Lexi is my aunt.”
“Nothing to do with me!”
“But I want you to know.”
Suny closed her eyes slightly to calm herself down, “I know, you can let go of me now.”
The person in his arms was fragrant and soft, and this was not the first time he had held her like this.
Thinking about it, Austin coveted it, he couldn’t let go.
“When you told me today to wish me happiness, did you think I was going to marry my aunt?”
Suny said: “It’s none of my business who you marry.”
She looked at him with cold eyes and spoke her words very lightly, as if she really didn’t care at all.
Austin looked at her, his eyebrows raised in a rare moment, he raised his other hand and touched her eyes, “Suny, don’t say that, your eyes don’t lie.”
Hearing this from him, Suny became completely annoyed: “If you don’t let go, I’ll have to call the police.”
As soon as she said that, Austin let go of her hand.
Suny was relieved that she was alone, her strength was not as strong as Austin’s, and if he had to force her, she would not be able to resist.
What was more, she was in a bad state and dizzy.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Austin had just let go of his hand when Suny quickly took several steps backwards.
Only after retreating to what she thought was a safe position did Suny look up at him and speak, “Please leave my house.”
She said “please” but looked at him with a cold look on her face.
Suny’s voice was deep, with a few rasps, obviously suffering from a cold.
“Have you taken your medication?”
“Austin, please leave my house!”
She repeated it again.
He gave her a faint look and reached out to touch Suny’s forehead, “Listen, you don’t look well.”
Suny had a cold and was slow to react, watching his hand retract and frowning in chagrin, “Austin, are you unable to understand human language?”
“I heard you, don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you.”
With a temper like that, when he heard Suny’s words, he wad still able to be so calm and peaceful.
Suny was exasperated and snorted, “Then do I have to thank you for waking me up in the middle of the night?”
Austin knew he was in the wrong on this point, he gave her a look, “You go to bed, I’m a bit hungry, I want to order a noodle to eat.”
“There’s a shop open at one point three kilometres away.”
“You know, I have a cleanliness problem.”
Austin paused for a moment, “Do you mind very much if I eat at your house?”
“Very much.”
Austin was silent for a moment, “I haven’t eaten anything since this afternoon except a packet of cigarettes and two glasses of water. Now my stomach hurts so badly that I think if I’ll drive out now, and you’ll probably see the news about my car accident tomorrow.”
With that, he added with certainty, “You don’t want to see news of me in a car accident.”
Suny really felt that Austin’s cheeky skin was also unbeatable: “Sorry, I’m happy to hear about it.”
He frowned, “Suny, don’t say the opposite, or I’ll think you’re saying you like me when you say you hate me.”
“…”
For the first time, Suny was dumbfounded by his words. He was shameless.
She was really uncomfortable now and didn’t want to spend any more time with Austin, there was no point: “Cook noodles if you want to, but if you wake me up again, I’ll make you regret it, Austin.”
“I’m sorry, I won’t wake you up again.”
Austin looked at her, frowning slightly as if he was chagrined about waking her up. Suny pursed her lips for a moment and turned around to go upstairs.
She was now so light-headed that she couldn’t even walk up the stairs properly, and really didn’t have much energy to argue with Austin any longer.
Back in her room, Suny rolled right over the covers and fell asleep.
The cold came on so strongly that Suny thought it was just a minor cold and that she would get over it after a good night’s sleep.
But it was not to be. As she drifted off to sleep, her whole body became more and more uncomfortable and her temperature rose.
Realizing that she might have a fever, Suny didn’t have the strength to open her eyes and wake up, she was so tired, sleepy and uncomfortable.
In a daze, Suny seemed to hear the door to her room being pushed open, and a few seconds later she was picked up in someone’s arms.
She opened her eyes, and in that dizzying vision she faintly saw that the person holding her was Austin.
Suny couldn’t help but frown, raising her hand to push him away, but the hand she reached out was Weak.
“Get out!”
Who let him in?
The pale face of the person in his arms had now turned hot and red, and Austin knew she had a fever as soon as he reached out and touched Suny.
After a whole night, the rain was still falling outside the window.
Austin put the fever-reducing medicine in his palm and tried to feed Suny to swallow it.
The pills stopped inside her mouth and the bitter taste spread out, Suny spat it out straight away, “It’s so bitter, I don’t want to eat it!”
“It’s a fever reducer.”
Suny frowned for a moment, “No.”
It was hard enough for her, why should she be made to take such bitter medicine.
Austin never knew Suny hated taking medicine so much, she was like a child who wouldn’t eat, no matter what he used, she just wouldn’t eat.
Suny’s consciousness was half awake and half confused, the sensation of being hot all over was unbearable, and when those cool thin lips printed up, she was stunned for a moment, wanting more somewhat greedily.
