Chapter 2 What are You Playing at Again?
Austin did not speak, and the air pressure inside the office was so high that it was hard to breathe.
After a moment of stalemate, Suny shrugged her shoulders, “OK, I won’t bother you, Monday morning at nine o’clock, Civil Affairs Bureau, see you there.”
After she finished, she raised her hand to ruffle the hair that had fallen down and plucked it behind her ear, before leaving, she was in the end reluctant, “Austin, congratulations, you are free, finally free of me, a shameless woman.”
Suny looked at him and smiled to herself.
“What are you playing at again?”
This time Austin finally spoke up, only to zap the heart as usual.
Suny looked askance at him, “Don’t worry, this time it’s for real, but I’m also telling you, this is your only and last chance to get rid of me, so you must seize it.”
Suny’s eyes were hot, she didn’t want to lose her decency and drop tears in front of him to give him leverage for ridicule, turned around and left.
Austin watched her walk away, until she disappeared around the corner, then he reached out and flipped the divorce papers in front of him.
This divorce agreement was drawn up by Suny, and the entire divorce agreement, for all his property, she did not take a single penny, so to speak, was a complete clean break.
He was not surprised that Suny wanted a divorce; after all, it had been three years and he had never considered her as a wife at all.
But she didn’t want anything from the divorce, Austin didn’t believe it.
This woman had always had a big appetite. When the Johnson family asked her what she wanted in return for saving Grace’s life, the moment she opened her mouth, she wanted to marry him.
Unfortunately, her plans were wrong. He had his assets notarised before the marriage, so that one day he would be able to send her away without losing a penny.
It seemed that this time, too, it was just a trick she played.
Austin sneered and pulled the corner of his mouth, raising his hand and tossing the divorce agreement aside, not taking it seriously.
Suny walked out of the building, only to see Alicia’s sports car was very bright.
Suny had just walked over, Alicia opened the passenger door, “How’s that, he signed?”
She lowered herself to a sitting position, “No.”
“Why? Jennifer is back and Austin is still not in a hurry?”
Suny finished fastening her seat belt and glanced at her, “What are you talking about?”
If it weren’t for the fact that they had been friends for more than a decade, she would have created a social news story in no time.
Alicia touched her nose, “This is the first time I’ve seen someone divorce with such vigor, and I want to test whether you’re really giving up or pissed off.”
“You be a person, Alicia!”
Suny didn’t want to pay attention to the gloating guy beside her, she simply closed her eyes and automatically blocked out everything.
Half an hour later, the sports car stopped and Suny opened her eyes and unbuckled her seatbelt, “Thanks.”
As she said this, she had gotten out of the car and gone around to the back to lift the suitcase down.
Alicia sat in the car and flew two flying kisses at her, “Don’t cry secretly, love you!”
Just as she finished, the red sports car took off.
Suny was exasperated, what kind of detrimental friends he had made!
The villa had been cleaned in advance by a cleaner, and the smart door lock combined voice, fingerprint and face recognition. She said, “M, open the door” and the door automatically opened, speaking, “Welcome home, Master.”
“M, Boil water.”
Suny dragged her suitcase up to the master bedroom on the second floor, inside were her things from her three years in the Johnson family, all of which she had brought with her back then.
After dropping off the luggage, the water was ready, she mixed with some cold water, Suny leaned over the bar and drank most of the glass.
Suny was stunned as the tears flowed down.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Thinking of Alicia’s words before she left, she couldn’t help but despise herself.
She could not hold it in when she was alone.
After putting up with it all morning, Suny finally couldn’t hold back and put down her glass and just plopped down at the bar and cried.
After ten years of love for Austin, in the end she got nothing but three years of a humiliating marriage.
Of course she was not happy about it, but what was the use of not being happy? He didn’t love her.
After leaving the Johnson family, Suny had a muddled two days.
Apart from sleeping, it was all about sleeping.
But she had trouble sleeping and had many odd dreams.
Suny dreamt of the year she was fifteen, when she naively and kindly thought that the old woman really needed help, but didn’t realize that she was just a prey in her eyes.
She was desperate and terrified as the men dragged her to the car, but such dark tragedies happen all the time in those narrow, dark alleys.
No one would come to save her, and no one would dare to save her.
But when she resigned herself to her fate, it was the teenager who kicked over the man holding her, tugging her by the hand and running out of the desperate alley.
She didn’t know how long she had been running until the teenager stopped and she dared to stop.
During that wretched escape, she didn’t even have time to see his face clearly, and only when she stopped did Suny realize that the young man in front of her had a handsome face.
He had very dark eyes that seemed to have swirls in them, and she merely looked at them and her whole being sank into them.
“What’s your name?”
She asked his name nervously and expectantly.
“Austin.”
The teenager’s voice was as mesmerising as his eyes, and Suny had never found her heart beating so fast: “Thank you for saving me.”
“You’re safe, I’m leaving.”
He let go and turned away.
She subconsciously chased after him, “Austin, can I–”
However, in the next second, the teenage Austin suddenly turned into the adult Austin, and he looked at her with indifference and disgust, “Suny, what kind of tricks are you playing again?”
Suny woke up with a jolt, the alarm clock on one side kept ringing, she frowned and raised her hand to touch the corner of her eyes which were wet: “Turn off the alarm clock.”
The ringing stopped abruptly and the room returned to silence.
Suny took her phone, Alicia had sent her a message half an hour ago, telling her to cheer up.
Yes, it was Monday and she had an appointment with Austin to get a divorce.
