EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 278

"Mr. Jo-Johnson." Facial muscle slightly cramped, Rachel chattered.

Austin glanced at Rachel and greeted, "Miss Murray, Mr. Lee."

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Johnson, Miss Holland." Parker then left with Rachel.

Rachel finally came to her sense when they reached out of the restaurant. "Is that Austin?"

Parker asked with a nod, "Didn't you watch the news last night?"

Everyone who could access the Internet learned the news.

Rachel said through gritted teeth, "Suny has been haunting Austin. This might be her plan!" She snorted and continued, "Austin never loved her. No one knows what she has done to win Austin back! This slick bitch!"

Parker wasn’t a fan of women's war, but he needed Rachel. The Lees benefited from the united marriage with the Murrays. Rachel was a better match for him. So, Parker had to echo Rachel, "You'd better not confront her in the future." As Parker spoke, Suny's beautiful face flashed across her mind. She was aloof and unapproachable before Austin showed up. And he remembered how Suny and Austin treated them on Mr. Bates' birthday.

Rachel shut her mouth reluctantly because Parker was right. The painful lesson remained fresh in her memory. So, Rachel dropped her plan of revenge.

When Suny left with Austin, it was already 7 p.m. The sunset glow tinted the sky red. Today was Antonio's birthday, and Antonio booked Wyndham Grand to throw a birthday party. Suny and Austin arrived ahead of Elijah and Tate. Suny was led into the hall by Austin, which drew everyone's attention. Elijah took the lead to whistle. Soon, the entire venue was filled with the sound of whistling.

Austin glanced at Elijah and frowned upon his childish behavior. He peered down at Suny and comforted her, "Stay calm."

Suny said through a decent smile, "I am calm."

Elijah was coming over with a glass of cocktail. "Tate, do you smell anything strange?"

Tate glanced at him. "No."

"It's the smell of love!"

Suny raised an eyebrow and mimicked Elijah. "Austin, did you hear a dog barking?"

Austin said, "I heard it."

That amused Tate. But Elijah asked for it!

"Hey, you’re going way too far!" That was personal!

Suny explained, "I mean, single dog. I wasn't wrong, was I?"

Austin echoed, "Of course not."

Antonio came and put their joke to an end. Suny said solemnly, "Happy birthday, Mr. Read."

"Thank you." Antonio then looked at Austin and Suny, he added, "Congratulations."

"Thank you." Austin accepted it.

Many guests came tonight and they were members of the same social circle.
