Chapter 157 I Don't Seem to Know You
The fact that Dexter had his 60th birthday party with Suny was showing something to anyone smart.
Besides not long ago, someeone took Frank and Suny’s things to interview Dexter, and Dexter's
attitude showed that there was something wrong.
But Dexter was this old, plus after Frank's mother died of a serious illness until now, it was nearly
twenty years, whether it was for show or otherwise, Dexter had not been rumored to have any scandal.
Dexter liked Suny, naturally, not for his own sake.
Frank was already thirty-two this year, and Dexter was over sixty now. When people are old, they look
forward to their younger generation starting a family. Do He must see Suny as his daughter-in-law.
When he saw Suny following Dexter out, Elijah subconsciously looked at Austin, "Austin, what does
Dexter mean by this? Does he really want Suny to be his daughter-in-law?"
No sooner had he said this than Austin's face darkened.
Before the two of them got on the plane, the internet was full of news about Frank and Suny's photos.
Elijah looked at them several times, but he couldn't tell if they were real or not, the angle was really
good and really tricky!
Austin was not in a good mood all the way over, and as a result, he had not long entered the venue
when he saw Dexter coming out with Suny from the lift. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
He was not stupid. The previous interview, and then today's preferential treatment indicated what
Dexter thought.
Frank, as the second host for the day, was busy greeting guests until Dexter come out.
Now that Dexter was out, he had some time to spare and took a few uncles to Dexter's heels.
A few men went up with Frank to give Dexter some birthday wishes, their eyes skimmed to Suny and
someone jokingly asked, "Dexter, is this Frank's girlfriend?"
Dexter glanced at Suny and he laughed, "I would like Miss Holland to be Frank's girlfriend, but Frank is
not competitive!"
Although Frank did not inherit Dexter's devotion and deep love, his emotional intelligence was not
inferior at all, and once Dexter's words came out, he instantly understood, glanced meaningfully at
Suny, and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Suny, look, how much my father likes you! Why don't
you be my girlfriend?"
Suny stood by Dexter's side, hearing that, she could understand what he meant.
She met Frank's gaze and slightly curled her lips into a smile, "No, my parents' last wish is for me not to
marry far away."
Such a question, in another person's place, would have been difficult.
Dexter originally only wanted to test Suny's attitude, and he didn't really want to take advantage of such
a big occasion to force Suny.
He did not expect that Suny would come up with such an excuse!
Who would know if it was ture or not?
Suny politely declined, neither embarrassing the Holmes family nor herself.
Frank shrugged his shoulders: "Then we really are still fated not to be together."
Suny smiled lightly, sort of acquiescing to this statement by Frank.
The person who originally asked the question didn't really want to ask anything, but was just asking on
a whim, and then regretted it a bit afterwards, because after all, this question might offend both sides.
But this sensitive subject passed with such a joking manner that the others who could be invited over
by the Holmes family were naturally not stupid, much less proceed to make things difficult.
The subject just digressed past, and these opening few words from a few people focused Suny below
the point of light.
Dexter walk away with a few friends, Frank took a glass of orange juice and handed it to Suny: "Don't
mind it, I was just joking."
Suny reached out and took it, bowing her head and taking a sip, "I know you were joking, Mr. Frank."
Hearing this from her, Frank couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Then what if I was not joking?"
Suny's eyebrows twitched as she looked at Frank and suddenly let out a laugh, "Then I wouldn't dare
to grab you with so many people!"
Frank's philandering was well known.
He grunted softly, "Why would I need other roadside flowers when I have a peony as beautiful as you?"
It was a metaphor but Frank might be beaten if his ex-girlfriends heard it.
Suny said, "But there are no ifs."
Frank knew that Suny was politely rejecting him, he tilted his head and took a large sip of red wine,
frustrated, looking at Suny with some confusion, "Where am I inferior to Austin?"
"You are very good, Mr. Frank."
Only she just happened to dislike him.
Frank didn't believe Suny's nonsense: "I know you dislike that I had many ex-girlfriends."
Suny laughed and drank her juice with her head down, not answering his remark.
Although she didn't have a cleanliness problem, it was still more or less unacceptable for he really had
many ex-girlfriends.
Frank knew she was acquiescing and coldly snorted, "Austin is not a good man either, if you don't
choose me, don't choose him, he is cold-hearted, not a good person."
After saying that, Frank drank the rest of the red wine in one go, "I'm going to greet some friends, call
me if you need anything."
Suny nodded, "Okay."
Dexter's birthday banquet was really full of guests, many of the people present were known to Suny,
but they probably just knew Boss Suny.
The venue was a bit crowded with guests, so Suny stayed for a while and casually exchanged a glass
of juice and went out to the garden for some fresh air.
It was still cold in March in A City, the heating was on inside the venue and it was as warm as spring,
but it was different outside. The wind was even a bit biting at night, there was no one inside this garden
but Suny.
Suny wore a skirt tonight, and although she had asked for a shawl before leaving the house, it was cold
in the end. After standing out for ten seconds or so, her hands and feet felt cold, and the grape juice in
her hands became harder to get down her throat.
It was not so stuffy, but it was cold!
Suny didn't stay long before she turned around and walked back, but just a few steps into the venue, a
woman in a long purple dress suddenly walked over, "Miss Holland, I've heard a lot about you."
The woman was condescending and her remark was aggressive.
Suny raised her eyebrows, "May I know your name?"
"Cindy Brooks."
Suny looked at Cindy and smiled lightly, "I don't seem to know you, Miss Brooks." "Of course you don't
know me! But I know you. I've really been dazzled by all kinds of news about you in the past year or
so!"
Cindy said, suddenly coldly snorted, "You are quite impressive, you didn’t get anything from the
Johnson family, so you are now setting your eyes on the Holmes family?"
Cindy's voice wasn't small, and as soon as she said this, everyone around her looked over towards
Suny.
