Marriage And Love Again

Suny struggled but didn’t break free, “Austin, let go of me.”

“No.”

He was even more shameless than usual when he drank.

Suny was exasperated, “Don’t you want to know why I suddenly went to D City?”

Hearing this from her, Austin got up.

Suny got up from the sofa with a red face, glared at him, got up and went into the kitchen to make a glass of honey and put it in front of him, “Drink it.”

He didn’t ask any questions, picked it up and finished it.

Austin found the honey water quite tasty for the first time, probably because it was made for him by Suny.

After he finished drinking, his black eyes looked straight at Suny.

Suny took out the anonymous letter from her bag and handed it to him, “Read it yourself.”

Austin frowned and opened the envelope, after reading the letter, his eyes flashed a shade of darkness: “I will check it out.”

“I’ve checked.”

Rosa had told her yesterday that it was Winnie’s handiwork, including the sudden explosion of online buzz earlier.

“Who is it?”

“Guess who it is, Mr. Johnson.”

Suny leaned down, raised her hand to her cheek and looked at him with a smile.

Austin pressed his temples, “Tina?”

“No.”

Suny shook his head.

“Jennifer?”

Suny still shook her head, “For the last time, if you guess correctly, I can push the progress bar half as fast.”

Austin looked at the smile under Suny’s eyes, pursing his lips as he wondered who it really was.

In fact, it is not easy to guess, Tina and Jennifer were the only who held grudge against Suny.

Yet it was neither, and Austin really didn’t have a clue for a while.

When he looked at Suny again, the smugness in her eyes seemed to anticipate that he didn’t know.

Two months ago he had asked Ivan to check out all the people who had bullied Suny before, and he had looked at all of them, but Suny was so smug, so this person was obviously not someone from before.

Not someone who had crossed paths with Suny after three years of marriage, but someone who knew him in J City.

Austin quickly thought of someone, he looked at Suny and said in a light voice, “Winnie.”

Suny was stunned, not expecting Austin to guess it so easily.

She grunted, “Well, I’ll push the progress bar to fifty percent forward then.”

She wasn’t in charge of the remaining fifty percent anyway.

Austin suddenly stood up, Suny froze, and before she could react, she was suddenly picked up by him.

In a rare moment of shock, she raised her hand and hooked it around his neck, “Austin?!”

Austin didn’t say anything, he just carried her up to the third floor.

Watching him step into her bedroom, Suny’s heart was beating fast.

She had been prepared to do this with him every day of the three years she had been married to him, but Austin had never touched her once in those three years.

Now that the two were back together, it was not something that wouldn’t work against the odds if they were to do it.

But she wasn’t ready.

Austin carried her to the bed, let go, took off his shoes, then one hand clasped her, “Can I sleep in your room?”

Suny’s face burned, “No!”

“Just sleep, nothing else.”

He finished, after a pause, “Of course, I can if you want.”

Suny was exasperated and raised her hand to grab his face, “Austin, when did you become so thick-skinned?”

He gathered her into his arms: “You can’t be chased by thin-skinned people, Suny.”

She was thin-skinned enough, and if he was thin-skinned too, then there would really be no more.

Suny’s room was pretty much what he expected, her scent was everywhere, the bed was fragrant and soft, and once he lay down, he kind of didn’t want to leave.

He didn’t just want to leave, he even wanted to do something big, yet it was only a thought.

“I’m a bit drunk and want to sleep, Suny.”

Austin finished speaking and closed his eyes, really not speaking again.

But his hands on her were clasped so tightly that Suny could not break them, and after pulling, she gave up.

She had gotten up at six this morning to catch her flight. The plane was a bit noisy and she hadn’t slept much, so she was a bit tired. It was just about lunch break, and with Austin’s calm breathing in her ears, Suny drifted off for a while and soon fell asleep.

When Austin woke up, Suny was still asleep.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window and he reached for a remote control to pull the curtains shut, and the room was instantly dimmed.

After the divorce, he hadn’t slept this well in a long time, albeit for just forty minutes or so.

Austin had already sobered up, remembering what Suny had just said, his face went cold, he carefully let go of his hand and went downstairs to get his mobile phone to call Ivan.

Ivan was surprised: “Mr. Johnson?”

Since he knew Austin had left with Suny, he had held back from calling Austin all afternoon, otherwise he was afraid his call would disturb things.

Now that Austin called on his own, Ivan was a bit overwhelmed.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

The other day Austin was not interested in working, and now that he was with Miss Holland, Ivan felt that Austin didn’t want to mention the work even more.

Not expecting him to take the initiative to call, Ivan was surprised and touched at the same time.

It seemed that Mr. Johnson was still very dedicated to his work.

“Ivan, help me find out what Winnie has done recently.”

“… Miss Bates?”

“Yes.”

When Austin finished speaking, he simply hung up the phone.

The call ended before Ivan could ask, “You’re still coming back from the four o’clock meeting”.

He looked at the phone in his hand and thought he had better give up.

After hanging up the phone, Austin went to take a shower.

The smell of alcohol was too much for him.

The room was dark when Suny woke up and she frowned slightly, thinking it was already dark.

“M, what time is it?”

“Thirty-seven minutes past three in the afternoon.”

Well, it was early.

Suny inclined her head at the curtains and smiled, “M, open the curtains.”

“Yes, Master.”

The curtains were drawn back and the sunlight shone in, and Suny squinted slightly.

She was thirsty and put on her shoes as she went downstairs.

Suny thought Austin had already left, but when she came out of the kitchen with the water, Austin was walking over in his bathrobe.

He had showered, his short hair dripping and the robe he was wearing was loose.

Suny caught a glimpse of his pectoral muscles inside his bathrobe, her face heated up and she averted her eyes, “Why did you have a bath?”

“I stink.”

Austin frowned in disgust.

Suny gave a laugh, “What do you want?”

“Water.”

He said, reaching over and taking the glass of water from her hand.

“Don’t you have a glass?”

Austin drank most of it before returning the glass of water to Suny: “I’m thirsty.”

Suny looked at him askance and turned to go and pour a fresh glass of water.

When she came out, Austin was sitting on the sofa answering the phone.

Suny stood watching him as he sipped his water, noticing her gaze, he inclined his head to give her a look.

He then hung up the phone, “Do I look good?”

Suny pretended not to understand what he was saying, “What?”

Austin’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he raised his hand and slightly pulled at the already loose bathrobe he was wearing, “Nothing.”

“…”
