EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373 That Was Fun

Suny looked at him, bantering, "You are a fast learner, aren't you?"

He brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, "I mean it."

She smiled at him, "Alright, let's go to the light show."

Whether he meant it or not, she was not able to tell, for his whispers of love were everywhere and in every moment.

It was the first year that J city had ever held a light show and there was a teeming crowd of people on the spot. When Suny and Austin walked to the entry, there was a sea of people. Suny turned to Austin unwittingly, "I suppose you don't want to go in?"

"Do you?"

"Of course not."

It was so hot and so many people. Even if she could tolerate the hotness, the sweat was unacceptable.

Suny never liked to force herself. Though it was a bit far away and the view was a bit blurry, it was enough for her to see the show.

The show began at eight. Since they had already walked twenty minutes, it started not long after they arrived.

It was the first time that Suny had ever watched such a show, so it was quite impressive.

But, more importantly, it was because of the person who was by her side.

For all those times she was with Austin, it was the first time that they had attended an activity that was so down to earth.

The show, themed the Valentine's Day, was also quite romantic with most people present being couples.

When the heart-shaped balloons fell from the sky, the couples were all hugging and kissing.

Suny could not help blushing to see a couple not far from her.

Then her face was burning when she felt her waist being surrounded by two arms from behind.

Austin's deep, hoarse voice wafted into her ear, "I love you, Suny."

The warm breath brushing her ears seemed to envelop her. Her whole body was burning, even the tip of her heart.

Suny tilted her head a bit and glanced at Austin, who was hugging her from behind. The corner of her lips curved up, "What a nice coincidence. I love you too, Austin."

The minute she finished her sentence, the arm on her waist held tighter.

They remained silent watching the colorful lights before their eyes.

The show was going to last for one and a half hours, but Austin and Suny left when there was still an hour left.

Since they left early, their way home was rather smooth without the hindrance of busy traffic. It was around twenty minutes past nine that they arrived home.

Suny went upstairs to take a shower, for tomorrow was a workday while Austin had a call from Robert.

He lifted his brows startled, "Mr. Murphy?"

"It's me."

He expressed directly, "Mrs. Holmes came to us with two women, saying Suny's mother was not my aunt."

His succinct description explained all.

Austin was not an idiot. He understood instantly, "A few days ago, she brought someone to ask for money from Suny."

It was only a handful of days ago that she reproached Suny for not being a good kid, and now, she was bringing other people to convince the Murphys that Suny's mother was not Maryam Murphy who was abducted years ago. It was quite self-evident whether her words were believable or not.

"I know," said Robert, "Tina has met with her."

It seemed her guessing was right.

"Last night, Mrs. Holmes posted a video on Facebook…"

The video was posted last night and was reposted by several influential accounts and went popular in a short time.

In the video, Mrs. Holmes, Maryam's foster mother, was crying with two other women about how Suny took up their identity. She vowed solemnly that she did not buy Suny's mother, who, instead, was sent to her by her relatives. It was quite common that poor families at that time who were unable to raise a child would send their children to other relatives, which rendered her words believable. She even displayed a recording of Maryam's so-called real mother.

All the evidence in the video indicated that Suny's mother was not the lost child, and therefore, she was not Charlie's granddaughter.

Soon, the voices on social media were criticizing how Suny had taken other people's identities for wealth and money.

The whole thing aggravated at midnight when Rosa was already asleep, so she was informed by her assistants in the early morning, and aware of Suny's bedtime routine, she did not call until now.

After learning the whole thing, Suny felt nothing but ridiculous, "For now, just leave it."

After all, if it was fake, it could not be true, and vice versa.

It was so typical of Mrs. Holmes to weave webs of lies for money.

But she was just a country bumpkin after all. If Suny could make her pliant the last time, she could still teach her a lesson, easily, this time.

As for why she forbad Rosa's meddling, that was just due to her little idiosyncrasies.

She supposed Anthony was probably having a good time?

Then she was going to let him have that good time and entice him to sink into his own delusion until he fell from the highest point.

That was fun.
