EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 284

Elijah couldn't believe his eyes when receiving Austin’s call. Well, things happened.

"Hey, man, what brings you to me?"

"Drink? I'm at Wyndham Grand."

"What? You're going to numb yourself with alcohol? Why? Suny broke up with you?"

"... you coming or not?"

Austin was not in the mood for a joke at all. Suddenly, he made a stupid decision to call Elijah. "Forget it. You don't have to come."

After that, Austin hung up the phone.

Elijah said. "I will not do everything you told me. I am not your dog."

How could he miss this rare chance to see Austin in a desolate state? Elijah always built his happiness Austin's bitterness! Well, that was what best friends did to each other, right? Elijah then drove as far as he could for fear that Austin would leave when he arrived.

Well, Elijah should be disappointed. Austin didn't break up with Suny. He was just down when Mr. Murphy told him to leave Suny tonight. But in case not to bother Suny with this, he came to the bar alone.

Elijah then arrived at the bar, and walked straight to their same old private booths. The door was closed. When he walked in, Austin was leaning against the sofa in the dim light. There was a bottle of red wine, a decanter on the table, and a goblet with some wines left in it.

"Buddy, something's wrong with you." Elijah raised an eyebrow at Austin who was supposed to stay at Suny's place now. "Did Suny really break up with you?"

Austin slowly opened his eyes and looked daggers at Elijah.

"Mr. Murphy came to meet me at J city. We had lunch this day."

"Who is Mr. Murphy to make you so depressed? Oh, no, do you mean that Mr. Murphy?"

Halfway through his sentence, Elijah came to his senses.

Austin cast him a disdain glance and said, "Use your brain."

"...So you were separated by the Suny's family? Wow! That's big news! This is the first time that I've heard a girl's family member talks her boyfriend out of their relationship! Amazing, dude, you've made a good start!"

Austin grabbed Elijah by his wrist and cracked his knuckles. He couldn't stand his mocking tone for any other minute. "It hurts! My fingers!"

Austin looked at him coldly and then loosened his grip.

"Then say something nice."

"... Fine, seriously, what did her grandfather tell you?"

Elijah poured himself a glass of red wine and sniffed it. Austin opened the bottle of wine he stored in the bar for a long time. Well, sixty thousand dollars for a bottle of red wine? Worth this trip!

Elijah was unhappy. He didn't do anything wrong! Anyway, he at least was a capable young man who got along with lots of old peoples. Austin should take his advice, shouldn't he?

"Believe it or not, Austin, you have to know that there's no going back. You and Suny are now together, and Suny is now a member of the Murphys. That was happening. Mr. Murphy wanted to protect and love her, but you wanted to steal Suny from him. If I were Mr. Murphy, I wouldn't be happy either!"

"You have to give him some time. In this case, whoever is more patient wins. I can't do anything if you don't believe me." In the end, Elijah shrugged.

Austin was surprised to hear something reasonable from Elijah. He now knew the root of the problem that he had been in such a rush. After all, they had just divorced, and Suny had just found her families. If they were to remarry in such a short period, the people around Suny would indeed be worried. He could wait, but this time he was just disturbed by Mr. Murphy.

Thinking of this, Austin was suddenly enlightened. "Thank you."

As he spoke, he stood up and left the room.

Elijah snapped out of it and asked him in a hurry, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Suny."

Well, this was a man who valued his girlfriend over his friend!

Elijah snorted and looked down at the remaining half bottle of red wine on the table. He pressed the bell and rang the waiter in. "Keep this for me. Remember, it's mine!"

It was not from Austin!
