“Suny, lunch’s ready.”


    Austin’s voice disturbed Suny’s thoughts. When she walked back in, she saw four dishes on the table. She had to admit that Austin was a talented chef who could copy the vors of the food in almost any restaurant.


    After lunch, Suny was going to clean the table, but Austin stopped her. “Let me do the dishes.”


    “That’s not fair. It’s my turn.”


    “Fair? No.” He quickly took the chopsticks in her hand.


    Actually, there was a dish-washing machine in the kitchen. Austin didn’t have to wash my hands, but Suny was touched by his thoughtful concern.


    “Austin, do you want to meet my grandpa?”


    Austin titled his head to look at her. “Really?”


    “No.” Suny smiled mischievously at him.


    “When?”


    “His birthday is in early August. Well, let’s pick another day.”


    She didn’t want to ruin his grandfather’s birthday.


    “But that day should be the best choice we have.”


    Suny turned around and narrowed her eyes in confusion.


    “Your birthday is on July 16th. Why don’t we make it that day?”


    “How do you know my birthday?”


    Suny was a bit shocked. She got two birthday dates. The date on her ID card wasn’t real because the staff made a mistake and changed the 16th to the 26th. So, seldom did people know about her real birthday.


    “You kissed me on your birthdayst year.”


    Oh, right! The Truth or Dare!


    “If that person wasn’t me, would you kiss him?” Austin asked tentatively.


    “I would. It was a game! Rosa says this cantaloupe tastes good. Try it.”


    “Suny, you wouldn’t do that.” Austin smiled knowingly.


    Well, busted! “Then why did you still ask me since you knew the answer?”


    He pulled her to his chest once again and they were close enough to feel each other’s breaths.


    “I want you to say it.”


    “Why would I do that?”


    “Because you love me.”


    “I didn’t say that,” Suny asked throughughter.


    “Your eyes did.” Austin gently tapped his finger on the corners of her eyes.


    “Well, I’m not the only thing in your eyes. I see sexual desire inside.”


    “Suny, don’t ever try to talk dirty in front of man, especially a man of its prime.”


    Suny’s cheek blushed. She picked up a slice of cantaloupe and ced it in his hand. “Well, try it.”


    Soon, Austin received Finn’s calls and left for thepany. For the first time, Suny felt the house was big and empty. She was a bit droopy, so she slowly drifted into a snooze on the bedter.


    After a few hours, the phone buzzes woke Suny up. She was wide awake when she saw the caller ID – Grandpa.


    “Grandpa?”


    “Suny, do you have a minute to talk?”


    “Yeah.”


    Suny said as she got off the bed to pour a ss of water and continued the chat on the sofa.


    “How have you beentely?”Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    “I’m fine, grandpa. You?”


    “I’m fine! Don’t worry about me!”


    Suny knew Charlie wouldn’t call her for the catch-up, and now the main course was served.


    “Suny, J City is beautiful, isn’t it? Perhaps I should travel around there when I can still walk without a stick.”


    “Hey, Grandpa! Well, J City is great. It has a sea, shops, and the mour and buzz…Oh, my friend got a yacht. We can have a boat party!”


    “Of course. One of my old friends in the army invited me to his party in J City in a few days. After the party, I’ll drop by.”


    “Okay, when will youe? I’ll pick you up at the airport.”


    “I’ll tell youter. All right, go back to work.”


    After that, Charlie hung up the phone.


    Suny revealed a wry smile. She didn’t expect that her grandpa woulde to see Austin.


    At six in the evening, Austin came from thepany to pick her up for dinner.


    “Grandpa called me this afternoon.”


    “What’s wrong?”


    “He wille to see me in J City in a few days.”


    The Summer Snow caused a huge uproar on the Inte, so Charlie didn’t juste to visit Suny.


    “I’ll pick him up at the airport with you.”


    “Alright.”


    Austin was nervous inside actually. He had Finn look into Charlie, who was a stubborn, old man. Almost all the Murphys knew their stories. So, Charlie had most likelye to J City to meddle in their rtionship again. Austin was only scared of losing Suny again. After all, Charlie was her closest family since her parents died in an ident when she was 17.


    “Aren’t you afraid that my grandpa will give you a hard time?”


    “I deserve it, don’t I?”


    “Right, you deserve it.”
