EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 263

It was from Robert. Suny caught a glimpse of Austin, "My brother."

Austin let her go, leaned back on the sofa, and waited.

"How’s everything with Chee?"

Suny was embarrassed, "Robert, actually…"

The sound of Robert talking to someone put Suny to a stop.

"What did you just say?"

Robert added, "I got a lot of options."

Suny was going to tell Robert the truth. She answered with a helpless smile, "Robert, my friend got into some trouble. I’m busy, so I haven’t seen Mr. Murray for a while."

Suny was not lying. She was indeed swamped with Dora’s thing for the past two weeks.

After a short silence, Robert continued, "Well, forget it. You can’t force love, right?"

He wouldn’t push Suny. He did this only to pressure Austin while giving Suny other options.

That would be a happy ending if Suny picked a guy, but Robert wouldn’t force them apart if Suny finally picked Austin.

"Thanks."

"Are you still seeing Austin?"

Suny cast a glance at Austin on the sofa, giving a vague answer, "I've been tied up with my friend’s problems."

Robert responded with satisfaction, "Do you need my help?"

Robert's words touched Suny deeply enough to remind Suny of how she fooled Robert, "I can handle it."

"Call me if you need anything. I'm your brother."

"Thanks, Robert."

Robert then hung up the phone contentedly.

To Robert, Suny was a smart and well-behaved girl who was lousy at lying.

Suny, who had just told a lie, cocked her head and met Austin’s stare. Her cheeks immediately flame.

"Do you want melon? Secr…Rosa bought it." Suny slipped the ‘Secretary Lee’ out of her tongue.

Austin studied at her for a while, "Where is the melon?"

Suny pointed to the kitchen, "In a small bucket inside."

Austin didn’t call her bluff and went into the kitchen while rolling up his sleeves.

The melon was placed in a small bucket full of ice cubes. When Austin picked it up, he felt the chill spreading from his fingertips to his head.

Suny quietly stood at the kitchen door to watch Austin cutting the melon. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Austin."

"What?" Austin lifted his head.

"Do you know Boss Suny?"

Austin paused, but soon, he reacted, "The president of Phantom."

"What kind of person do you think she is?" Suny walked in to take out the plate and put it beside his hand.

Austin tilted his head to look at her and raised his eyebrows. "She’s your boss. What do you think of her?"

Suny didn't expect this to come. Suny didn't expect this to come. She stared at the ground blankly, digging out some proper adjectives in her mind to sound less bragging.

After a long while, she said, "Smart and professional."

"Well, same as me." Austin put down the knife and lifted his eyes to look at Suny.

Suny felt that she asked for nothing. She snorted, "Anything else?"
