Marriage And Love Again

Walking to the car, Suny shot the man with a fake smile, “Where’s your car, Mr. Johnson?”

“It left with my driver.” Austin peered down at Suny’s nose seriously.

Suny handed him the car key, “Have you eaten yet?”

The people inside spoiled her appetite, so she hadn’t eaten anything.

“No. Any ideas?” Austin came here as soon as he got off work.

It was getting sweltering hot in J City at the end of May. Suny looked at the sunset outside the car window and suggested, “Sushi?”

“Okay.”

After the reunion, they finished dinner at around eight p. m.

As the car entered the patch to the villa, under the street light, they saw two people standing outside the villa from a distance.

They were Tina and Grace. Suny tilted her head to look at Austin and offered a faint smile, “Perhaps they come to you?”

Austin cast Grace and Tina a neutral glance.

He stopped the car and walked out.

Grace was surprised to see Austin. “Don’t get me wrong. I just want to talk to Miss Holland for a sec.”

Suny got out of the car and lifted her brows, “We have nothing to talk about, don’t we?”

Grace pulled Tina’s sleeves and urged, “It’s good with Austin here. That saves us time.”

It seemed that they already had a plan.

Suny guessed what Tina wanted through her gaze.

She glanced at Austin, “I’d better stay out of this.”

Suny unlocked the door with her fingerprints and walked in, leaving them at the door.

Austin stood there with a strained expression, “What’s up?”

Tina then said through tears, “Austin, it’s my fault. Mom has repaid the money. Can you drop the lawsuit? I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in jail.”

There was less than a month before her case went to court. Tina was begging Suny to drop the case, but she failed.

Tina knew how that would turn out.

But that was Grace’s idea. Now they also ran into Austin outside Suny’s house.

Austin might think they were here to threaten Suny. That was what Tina was scared of.

Grace thought it would be easier to talk Suny out of the case, but she didn’t expect to run into Austin.

Grace cleared her throat, “Come on, Tina is your sister. You don’t have to be like this, right?”

She asked for help as his mother, but unluckily, Austin never took her mother seriously.

When she said this, she felt very guilty.

Austin glanced at Tina, “This is the last time, Tina.”

Then he went into the car and slowly drove it into the villa.

Before Tina reacted, Austin had already been into the villa.

She stared blankly at the back of the car, “Mom, will he drop the lawsuit?”

Grace bore resentment toward Austin, “Have you ever seen a brother treat his younger siblings like this? He doesn’t even care about his mother now!”

Tina remained silent. She wasn’t a three-year-old kid and had heard people gossiping about Grace.

Grace eloped with her lover and ditched little Austin in the Johnson family. Later, Maddox married Ellen, who raised Austin up as his stepmother. No one could judge whether Ellen treated Austin well or not, but at least she did as a mother should do.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Then things changed. Grace was abandoned by her lover and came back to seduce Maddox. Austin had grown up a bit and witnessed how Grace forced Ellen to die of depression.

Grace won and remarried Maddox.

At that time, Tina was little, but she still understood what was happening.

Once, she overheard that Ellen’s death had something to do with both Maddox and Grace.

After Maddox’s death, although Austin didn’t take them seriously, at least he didn’t kick them out of the house until Grace messed up with Suny.

Tina had no idea if Austin blamed Grace for Ellen’s death, so she chose to remain silent.

Moreover, Austin succeeded in the Johnson family’s business. She could still be Tina Johnson only if Austin nodded.

In the past six months since Tina left the house, she had been through a hard time. She missed life at home.

Glancing at the villa, Tina stopped being such a hater as Grace. “Mom, enough. Austin has been mesmerized by Suny. If you keep picking on Suny, we will never return home.”

This finally shut Grace’s mouth.

Austin came up when Suny poured a glass of water.

She teased, “That’s quick, Mr. Johnson.”

Austin took the water glass from her hand, sipped, and said, “We don’t have that kind of strong maternal bond.”

More than 30 years after Grace gave birth to him, Austin didn’t receive any bit of mother love. But instead, Grace used Austin a lot.

Suny looked into his eyes seriously, “It’s not that simple, right?”

From their marriage to their divorce, Austin rarely went back to the residence of the Johnson family, and Suny blamed this on herself – Austin didn’t like her.

But actually, it didn’t make sense.

If Austin really hated her, he shouldn’t have let her live in the residence.

Half a year ago, Austin drove Grace and her kids out of the house. After that, their reputation had nosedived in the upper class.

In this case, Austin respected her enough to let her live at home, although he didn’t like Suny.

After the divorce, Suny slowly figured it through.

Hearing her words, Austin said, “My stepmother’s death has something to do with Grace and Maddox.”

Suny was surprised to hear that, regretting pulling this question. “I’m sorry.”

“For what?” Austin looked at her, “Mrs. Johnson will know it sooner or later.”

Suny found her voice finally, “I’m not Mrs. Johnson yet.”

He put down the water glass, came over, and hugged her, “You’ll be soon.”

Seeing the pride in his eyes, Suny pinched his nose. Suddenly, the buzz of the phone interrupted them.
