Marriage And Love Again

It wasn’t snowing today, but it was windy, so Suny didn’t stay long at the cemetery, and she drove off after the dumplings were finished.

The streets were cold and clear, and Suny moved slowly like a turtle on the road in her white shared car.

Just after pulling back, Alicia’s phone call came through.

Suny glanced at the twilight sky outside and withdrew her hand that had intended to push the door open: “Is it bad for two people?”

Always calling her and not being afraid of Ashley’s jealousy.

Alicia on the other end of the phone grunted, “You’re my true love, don’t you know, Suny? The weather is bad today, I’m afraid you’ll get cold and freeze, so I’m calling to ask if you want to come over to our house for hot pot!”

Suny smiled, “Then if I say no, is it too insensitive?”

“Can you bear to see my heart break?”

“Honestly, I can.”

But well…

“I really didn’t have anything in mind for dinner tonight, so for the sake of your enthusiasm, I’ll go there.”

Alicia: “… Okay, then I’ll prepare a delicious meal for you, Miss Holland!”

“Go on.”

Hang up the phone, Suny looked at the steering wheel in front of her, forget it, it’d better to go over there before returning the car.

Suny opened the windows a bit and fell into a daze inside the car for a while, sitting there until after 3pm, when she drove to Alicia’s place.

Alicia and Ashley were nostalgic for the old days, and the houses they bought were all near their previous residence, some distance from the C Cityentre, and Suny drove for nearly an hour to reach their neighborhood.

The sky began to darken at four o’clock in the afternoon, so Suny parked the car and settled the bill and gathered her coat and walked towards Alicia’s neighborhood.

This area was incredibly familiar to Suny, and she actually missed the old days, but back then her parents had an accident just across the road from her home.

She was still napping when she heard her neighbour say what had happened, and on such a cold day, she ran out in her pyjamas, dropping one of her shoes on the way downstairs, yet she arrived at the scene and looked at the chaos, not feeling a single ounce of coldness.

There was only fear.

But it was useless to be afraid, even more so as she sat by herself outside the funeral home watching her parents being cremated one by one.

Every now and then a neighbour inquired about how much her parents’ insurance had paid out, and when she heard that it had paid out over a million, her words were full of envy.

With this amount of money, she had come to today. But if she could choose, she would have preferred not to have had the accident, not to have had that payout, and not to be without a home today.

The streets were so cold during the New Year that the security guards in the district were much slacker. As Suny just wanted to ask for a registration form, the security guard had already raised his hand and let her go.

“Beauty, which family are you from? How come I haven’t seen you before?”

The security guard couldn’t help but wonder which family had raised such a pretty girl.

Suny gave a smile: “I don’t live over here, my friend is here, it’s building C, flat 11.”

“Oh, that young couple! That young couple is good looking too, just like the big stars on TV. My daughter is right, good-looking people play with good-looking people! Happy New Year, girl, it’s a festive occasion, I’ll give you a red envelope, it’s not much money.”

Suny froze for a moment, it had been almost ten years since she had received a red envelope from elders after her parents died.

Now receiving it from a strange security, Suny was surprised.

Suny was somewhat touched, accepted the red envelope, and took out Cloud View Hotel’s svip room card from inside her bag, “Happy New Year, this is a gift from my work lottery, I have many, this card is for you, when your friends come, just take this card and book a room at Cloud View Hotel.”

“I can’t accept this, just keep it for your use, you youngsters have many friends, let your friends come over to see our beautiful city, so give this card to your friends!”

Suny faintly hooked her lips and smiled, and put it directly on top of that chair in front of the security: “I have a lot of them, I can’t use them all, so it’s a waste.”

“Well, I-”

Without further ado, Suny took the red envelope and went into the neighborhood.

Building C was on the south side, to the inside, she had to walk a bit.

It was windy in the evening and Suny pulled her scarf upwards and had just turned the corner, she was suddenly called out by an older woman, “You are, Suny?”

The person in front of her was no stranger, Suny’s family had been neighbours with her for eighteen years, and despite not seeing each other for almost ten years, Suny recognised the person immediately.

She paused, ” Jenny, happy New Year.”

“Happy New Year! I haven’t seen you in almost 10 years. You still look so pretty after all these years. Do you live here too?”

Suny shook her head, “No, my friend lives here.”

“Oh! You’re twenty-six this year? Are you married yet? Have you got kids yet?”

The neighbour was not bad, but she had the same problem as all neighbours – they were gossipy and talkative.

Suny didn’t intend to talk to her anymore, “My friend is waiting for me, I’ll leave first.”

“Hey! Leave a contact! It doesn’t matter if you’re not married, my eldest nephew graduated with a PhD this year! I’ll introduce him to you!”

However, Suny turned a deaf ear and soon disappeared from Jenny’s sight.

Jenny shouted: “What’s the big deal! Twenty-six years old and still not married!”

“Hello.”

Jenny just came down to take out the rubbish, but she never expected to run into Suny, the daughter of her old neighbour, and now a strange man.

If the man in front of her wasn’t so handsome, Jenny would have wondered if he was a thief!

“Hello, you are?”

“I’m Suny’s husband.”

Austin paused for a moment, and among the four options of “ex-husband, suitor, boyfriend, and husband”, he decisively chose “husband”.

“So Suny got married!”Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jenny thought about what she had just said and said, “I didn’t mean anything else, I just… I just have a bad mouth! I just can’t say anything nice!”

Austin nodded his head, took out his wallet and took out all the money inside: “I’m not here to argue with you, I just want to learn about Suny’s previous affairs from you.”

Antonio had investigated Suny, but not in great detail, as if someone could help Suny cover up what happened to her, so much so that he only knew that her parents died in a car accident the year she was a freshman, and no more.

However, just now, when he watched Suny’s expression when she received the red envelope given to her by that security guard, it was as if his heart was shaken by something.

He was heartbroken.

Jenny looked at the wad of money in Austin’s hand and her eyes widened, “You can know anything you want! I’ve been neighbours with Suny’s family for more than ten years, I know anything about her family!”

Austin patiently responded, “Just tell me about what happened to her parents.”

For Jenny, it was simple: “You really asked the right person about this! That day, I happened to be at …”
