He smiles and places many photos in front of Sunny. "Sunny, look at this photo. You can choose whichever you like."
Sunny glances at them roughly. Soon she finds Roger who grows up with her.
So she takes the photo without hesitation, "Dad, I want this boy."
Roger, he’s her Roger.
Sunny is not a fool so she knows that her father wants to utilize her to achieve something.
However, Sunny thinks that it doesn't matter although she is used. It doesn’t matter if she can marry Roger.
Her father doesn't expect Sunny to accept his arrangement so well. Therefore the expression on his face looks a little strange.
"Do you need to think about it again..."
Sunny shakes her head firmly, "Dad, I want him." She doesn't want anyone accept Roger.
Steven's expressions change a lot after hearing her words. He is just about to say something. Before he even speaks, Zola just comes back from school and enters the room happily while she is followed by Lora.
Obviously, they don’t expect that Sunny will be at home although not at the weekend. So they both freeze when they see her.
Zola's reaction is relatively worse than Lora, and she directly pouts her mouth.
"Dad, why is she here?"
Steven sees Sunny's reaction while having a perfunctory explanation for Zola, "Dear Zola, go upstairs and stay with mother now."
Sunny looks at the scene that they are developing the relationship between a kind father and a filial child. Then she lowers her eyelids, as if she is so indifferent that she seems like a stranger outside.
"Sunny, have you finished your consideration?" Steven hesitates to ask her.
Sunny nods without hesitation, "Dad, I only want Roger if you want me to unite two families by marriage. I won’t agree on anyone else."
She answers with no expression on her face. She does not know that Zola is hiding on the stairs to eavesdrop their conversation.
Steven does not reject her thoughts. After all, the Louis is much richer than them. If he can build a relationship with them, it can be regarded as the fact that their ancestors are blessing them.
So he nods and takes the photos away, "I see. Why don't you live in home for a few days?"
Sunny raises her head when she hears his advice. It’s no surprise that she sees Lora wandering in front of the kitchen door.
"No, I have something else to handle in my school." It doesn't mean she has no clear understandings on something although she doesn't say.
There has no place for her in this family.
Then she goes straightly back to school and does not know what happens later.
She only knows that the Louis politely refuses the Ellen family about the suggestion of uniting by marriage. Even they give them a sum of money as compensation for the refusal.
After hearing the news when she is at school, Sunny feels that she seems soaked in cold water from head to toe. She never feels so embarrassed before.
She returns home that day, sitting face-to-face with Steven. But she can’t say any words.
Steven knows Sunny's thoughts. His daughter is rejected mercilessly at this time. More or less, it is quite embarrassing.
He looks up at the face that looks quite similar to his ex-wife. However, he is a little speechless.
"Sunny...I'm useless..."
After such a long time, she can remember the humiliation of being rejected and the upset expression of Steven whenever she reminds of it.
Sunny once thinks it is her own problem. At this moment after listening to Zola’s words, it seems that there are some hidden facts in the past.
"Zola, I'm still sitting here and talking to you politely. Before I change my attitude, you’d better give me a clear explanation."
"Oh, Sunny. The person who wanted to unite by marriage was not you. Actually, it was me..."
Zola smiles slyly. It makes her more excited than doing other things when she sees Sunny's surprised expression at this moment.
It takes a long time for Sunny to make voice, "Can you... can you say it again..."
"Well. For your request, I say it again. The person who went to unite by marriage was me, not Sunny. So..."
Zola doesn't finish her words but the meaning in them is quite clear.
Otherwise, according to Roger's care for her since at an early age, how will he refuse her mercilessly?
Otherwise, according to Roger's character, why won’t he mention it when they meet each other?
"Sunny, if there isn't that mistakes, it might be you who stand next to Roger today..."
Sunny gives her a complicated look and she knows what Zola means. Even she is guessing like this.
"Don't... don't talk nonsense." She refutes without deterrence at all.
Zola glances aside, "Sunny, I tell you that you should let it go in the past. Why are you so persistent?"
Sunny glances aside in a panic and just sees Kevin's slightly worried look.
But at this time, Sunny quickly looks away. It seems that she doesn’t dare to look at him anymore.
Kevin sees her look and stuns for a moment. Moreover, some bad feelings appear in his mind.
He always feels that... Sunny’s attention on him is distracted.
But Zola is still make things more difficult for her while standing aside, "You future husband is really pitiful. Which person do you set your mind on now?"
"Enough."
