Chapter 366 I Do Mean it
The appearance of Suny came as a surprise to many people. So it was not particularly surprising that Austin appeared on this occasion today, but Suny showing up with Austin on his arm made many people confused.
As soon as the two entered the hall, many people were already talking about what was going on.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Is that real? Suny and Austin? The two of them seem to be getting back together. Isn’t Robert interested in Suny? What’s going on here?”
“Well, I have absolutely no idea. I thought today’s grand party was to announce the engagement of Suny and Robert!”
“I heard that Suny and Austin got back together two months ago, but Suny always went to visit Charlie. Since Suny has nothing to do with Robert, why does Charlie like her so much?”
There were a lot of discussions around, and Suny turned a deaf ear. After finding Lily, she walked directly over with Austin.
When Lily saw her, she immediately excused the guest in front of her and turned around, “Suny, my dear.”
“Auntie,” Suny greeted her sweetly.
Seeing Lily looking at Austin, she became somewhat embarrassed, “Auntie, this is my boyfriend, Austin Johnson.”
Lily glanced at her and smiled, “No more hiding?”
“I’m not hiding, auntie,” said Suny.
Austin seemed indifferent, but he was a polite man.
Although Lily had some prejudice against Austin because of Suny’s divorce, when noticing Austin’s respect, she was not that disgruntled, “Please enjoy yourself here, Mr. Johnson.”
Lily said, looking at Suny, “All right, your grandfather is in the lounge. Go meet him.”
With that, Lily beckoned the waiter to take the two to see Charlie.
Suny had told Charlie yesterday, saying that Austin would come.
After all, today was Charlie’s birthday, although it was mainly to announce the identity of Suny, Lily still hoped that the situation would be much calmer. Letting Austin meet Charlie in advance would at least avoid the latter getting angry in front of those guests.
Suny understood what Lily meant and looked back at Austin, “Well, we should really meet my grandfather this time.”
Austin looked down at her and nodded slightly.
“Okay, I’m not nervous.”
Hearing his words, Suny laughed out, “I didn’t say you are nervous.”
Austin pursed his lips and said nothing.
Suny felt a tightening of her hand, so she stopped teasing him, leading him forward with the waiter.
Soon, the waiter stopped.
“Miss Holland, this is Mr. Murphy’s lounge.”
Suny nodded, said thank you, and then raised her hand to knock on the door.
The door opened quickly. It was Charlie’s assistant. Seeing Suny, Mark was delighted, “Miss Holland, it’s really you.”
“Hi, Mark, is my grandpa in there?”
“Yes, he is waiting for you. Please come in, Mr. Johnson.”
Mark left the space to them, while Suny walked in with Austin.
As soon as she passed the porch, she saw Charlie drinking tea there with a gloomy look.
“Grandpa.”
“I said I don’t want to see him.”
Suny looked back at Austin and smiled, “But he is the man I like, grandpa.”
Hearing this, Austin glanced at Suny and went forward, “Mr. Murphy.”
Charlie snorted, “I know you are a smart man. I’ll get this straight. I won’t agree with you and Suny getting back together. I don’t care if you are dating, but if you want to remarry, you will receive my absolute refusal.”
Austin was well prepared, but it was unexpected to hear these words from Charlie.
Turning around, he said to his beloved woman, “May I have a word with your grandpa?”
Suny raised her eyebrows, not expecting Austin to be so confident.
“Sure thing.”
Suny took a look at Charlie and patted him on the shoulder before leaving, “Grandpa, we’re all civilized people. Don’t do anything other than talking, okay?”
Charlie was amused by her, “You girl! That’s how you feel about me?”
“I’m just worried you’ll hurt yourself.”
“You little cheat. We’re good. I’d like to hear what Mr. Johnson has to say to me.”
Suny took another look at Austin and said in his ear, “Peaceful talk, okay?”
“Deal,” Austin answered solemnly.
Suny said nothing more and left the lounge, leaving room for them.
As soon as the door closed, Charlie came straight to the point, “So, tell me whatever you like.”
Austin nodded, “Do you know why Suny likes me?”
When Charlie heard this, he became angry, “Isn’t it because of your face? Do you think Suny likes you for the money you have?”
Austin didn’t feel angry or even happy when he heard his words, “This is one aspect, and there is one more you may not know.”
Charlie was impatient with Austin, “Just get to the point, young man. I’m not Suny, I don’t buy it.”
“Twelve years ago, when Suny was in J City for a competition, she was almost kidnapped by traffickers. I saved her at that time. I didn’t mean anything to tell you about that old story. I just would like to tell you that when Suny married me, I didn’t remember it, and I didn’t know she married me because she likes me. ”
“I think you may also know very well about my family. I grew up in a very terrible family. I haven’t enjoyed a day of parents’ love. Everything around me is full of the intrigues of adults. Such a growing environment created my character defects, that is, I do not easily trust people, nor do I believe in feelings. I’m not telling you this to excuse myself. And I won’t excuse myself for hurting Suny in those three years. I just wish you could know I didn’t mean to hurt her. ”
Austin said with a slight pause, “Yes, I used to be a terrible man. I always speculate on others with the greatest bad intentions. I don’t know the so-called love. But the appearance of Suny taught me so many things. She let me know that not everyone in the world has a bad purpose in approaching a person, and not all feelings are for profit. ”
“She is a beam of light that illuminates the dark place in my heart.”
“So? Do you think I will agree to your remarriage just because of your moving speech?”
“Of course not. I love Suny, and I want her to be happy and safe, just like you.”
“And I believe that only I can make her really happy.”
“Before I came here, I had asked my secretary to count all the assets in my name. If I upset Suny again, all my assets will be transferred to her unconditionally.”
“Mr. Murphy, this is my sincerity to you.”
Charlie took a glance at him and said, “We are not short of money.”
“Of course not. But what I’ve got, including my money, my assets, my heart, and even my soul, belongs to Suny. I do mean it.”
