Marriage And Love Again

Charlie knew Suny still wanted to be with Austin now. Since Suny didn’t want to talk about Austin, he dropped that thought. They talked about a lot of things for the next two hours.

“It’s already two o’clock. Is it time for your work? I won’t bother you anymore.”

“I will be free in the next few days. J City’s scenery is good. My friend has a yacht, how about we make a sailing trip tomorrow?”

As D City was an inland city, Charlie had never gone out to sea. He was a little excited about the sea views actually, but he was afraid of disturbing Suny’s work, “Put your job ahead of me.”

“No, you are more important to me.” Well, everyone liked nice words.

“Charlie, do you have any plans for this afternoon?”

“I plan to go to the museum with Jacob.” Robert had arranged an assistant for Charlie.

“I’m not busy in the afternoon. I’ll go with you.”

Suny paid for the lunch and helped Charlie out of the restaurant. Her car was in a nearby parking lot. It was hot outside, so Suny helped Charlie walk to the opposite square and asked him to wait there for her.

“Miss Holland, what a small world.”

Suny was about to turn to the parking lot when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

“Mrs. Murray, Miss Murray.”

Suny paid a vase with 4, 500 dollars last year and put the Murrays in an awkward situation in the J City, which deepened Ivy’s hatred towards Suny. But after that matter, Rachel no longer treated Suny impolitely.

“Is this Miss Holland’s family?” Seeing Charlie behind Suny, Ivy smiled.

The upper class had heard of the Murphy family in D City. However, Charlie had always been a low-key person. After retirement, he wasn’t active in public. Now, people were more familiar with Walter Murphy and Robert Murphy.

“This is my grandfather.”

“Miss Holland is nice.” Ivy took out an invitation from her handbag, “It’s Rachel’s grandfather’s birthday next week. Miss Holland is a friend of Elijah. Perhaps you can drop by for a meal.”

Suny looked at the invitation in Ivy’s hand and hesitated. “Okay.”

Of course that was more than just a birthday meal, but Suny would like to see what Ivy wanted to do.

“Rachel and I need to go, Miss Holland.”

From beginning to end, Ivy and Rachel just ignored Charlie, and even worse, Rachel glanced at Charlie with disdain before leaving. Charlie noticed the micro expression in her eyes.

“Did they bully you?”

“Charlie, I’m not a pushover.”

Charlie planned to ask Robert about this later. They went to the museum in the afternoon. Charlie had not gone out with Suny for a long time, so the smile didn’t leave his face for the whole day. Suny was worried that Charlie’s legs would go weak tomorrow after today’s long time walk. Before leaving, she massaged his legs, and she told Jacob to help Charlie do a feet bath before sleep.

Charlie wanted to use his phone to record what Suny said to Jacob. After he returned to D City, he would prove to his neighbor Nathan that he also had a granddaughter who cared about him.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Charlie, I’m going back. You should rest early.”

“Okay, be careful. Remember to call me when you arrive.”

“I see.”

After Suny left, Charlie gave Robert a call. He had always been thinking about the unfriendly mother and daughter, of course, also the fact that Robert was a single man of thirty-five years old. Robert was not surprised by Charlie’s call, but he didn’t expect Charlie to mention the mother and daughter of the Murrays.

Robert remembered last year when Suny went to the Murrays’ house as a guest, she was pushed down by Rachel and broke a vase. Charlie asked if they had bullied Suny before.

After a brief explanation of the vase issue, Robert said, “… Later, Rachel apologized to Suny online.”

“The Murrays are arrogant! How dare they blame Suny over a vase? Today, I heard that Master Murray is going to celebrate his birthday soon. Mrs. Murray gave an invitation to Suny. I guess they are probably trying to challenge Suny again.”

“Pick one of the treasured gadgets your grandmother collected when she was young as a birthday present for him.”

When Amy was doing business, she would go to the antique shop every time she went on a business trip, so she collected a lot of antiques. There was a collection room in the Murphys’ old house to store her antiques. A few months ago, Amy passed away. When Charlie missed her, he stayed in the collection room. Those treasures seemed to talk to Charlie like Amy still was there, “Even if our company goes bankrupt, these antiques can cover the annual expenses of our family.”

The Murphy family was living an affluent life now. Charlie had never thought of taking out any antiques. However, Suny had been looked down upon by the Murrays. If Amy heard these words, she might take all the antiques and throw them into the Murrays’ house one by one.

Robert had no objection. “I see.”

“You are thirty-five years old. Are you seeing anyone? I remember that when you were in college, you met a girl named Jayme. Do you still miss her? If so, hurry up and get back together with her. Don’t make me worry about you!”

Poor Robert! He had done nothing wrong, right?
