When Suny was awake, Austin was talking on the phone in a low voice. But she was too thirsty. When she opened her eyes, she saw Austin walking out of the room and turning the alarm clock off as she expected.
She lifted her sore and limp legs. She felt her throat drier when she recalled the great sex they had last night.
She sat up on the bed and told M to pull the curtain open.
The sunlight shone through into the room. She raised her hand to cover her eyes and walked out in the slippers.
Austin was sitting on the couch in the outer room. He heard the sound and glanced at her, "Did I wake you?"
Suny shook her head and said in a hoarse voice, "No. I want some water."
"Let me do it."
With saying it, he stood up from the couch, walked towards her, and lifted his hand to touch her cheek softly.
Suny watched Austin open the door and walk out of the room. She couldn't help but touch the cheek which had been touched by Austin just now.
Did he take her as a child?
Why was he so fascinated with touching her cheeks?
The bright sunlight shone through and the bedroom brightened up.
Suny stopped thinking and headed for the bathroom.
She found a glass of water on the dresser when she finished washing her face and rinsing her mouth.
"Thanks, honey." She glanced at Austin and smiled.
Austin looked at her and his dark eyes blinked a bit. "That's all." He hung up on the phone by saying that and went into the bathroom.
The rising sun was quite strong in late July. Suny felt a bit hot in the sun after she stood on the balcony for a little while.
But, the breeze in the morning was cool and fresh. Suny turned around when she heard the steps. Seeing Austin walking towards her, she smiled, "Who was on the phone just now?"
Austin came over, held her on the waist, and kissed her on the lips, and then he said, "Ivan."
He paused, "Grace went for Carl last night."
"Well, she was pretty quick in action." Suny raised her eyebrows.
She failed to get a positive answer from Austin, and then she turned to Carl the next second.
It seemed that Grace cared more about Kasper than Tina.
Suny snorted, "So, she just doesn't care about Tina now?"
"I don't know yet."
He had much on Tina. He meant it on what he had told Grace last night.
Tina had done lots of evil things and Austin had known it long ago. He went easy on her because she didn't find faults with Suny these days.
Now that Grace had chosen to work with Carl for Kasper, which had upset him, Austin wouldn't mind doing something to upset her in return.
"What's your plan?" Suny was a bit tired from standing and turned her head to lean on his shoulder.
"Wait for them to take action." Austin lowered his head to look at her.
"Oh, I see."
Suny answered. It was Saturday today, and both of them didn't rush to the office.
"Shall we go riding?" she thought of it.
The weather was just perfect for riding.
It had been a long time since she went to the racecourse last time. When she was still a college student, Alicia once was filming a costume play and must learn to ride, so Suny went there with her.
She married Austin right after graduation. And, lots had happened since then. Suny hadn't been to the racecourse for six years.
"OK."
After breakfast, they left for the racecourse directly.
It was Saturday and the traffic was much busier than usual. They had to wait longer at the red lights.
It was almost ten in the morning when they arrived at the racecourse. Austin's phone rang right after they had put on the riding suits.
Suny was doing a ponytail beside him. She glanced through the phone screen and couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she saw the caller ID. It was Elijah again!
Elijah just had too much free time!
Indeed, that was true. He had invited Antonio to play golf with him, but he thought it wasn't fun enough. So, he thought of calling Suny and Austin to join them. After that, they could have lunch together and play cards later.
Gosh! Just imagine what a nice day he was gonna have!
So, he called Austin the moment he arrived at the golf course. Elijah had been single for more than thirty years and now he was smarter enough to know that he couldn't call Austin before nine in the morning at the weekend, in case he would interrupt the lovers.
