A Mysterious Man

Chapter 166: To Go to School

Kevin says with a smile, "You have underestimated me."

Troy blushes in embarrassment. "In short, be careful."

"I know. I'll ask my brother to help me later."

"Hey, you guys, hurry up. The elevator has been here for a long time."

Sunny places her foot on the elevator door to prevent it from suddenly closing, and then she asks the

others to come over quickly.

"Let's go. Your wife is urging us." Troy looks at Sunny and returns with a smile.

Kevin smiled back. "Let's go. Don't keep her waiting for too long."

Three men quickly stride over and enter the elevator together.

"Kevin, help me wash the vegetables tonight."

Examining the vegetables in the plastic bag, Sunny begins to assign a task to the three men.

"Sunny, I saved you today. Don't ask me to help you cook."

Sunny turns to look at Troy. Thinking of something, she smiles and nods.

"Kevin, I told you what happened before." Sunny suddenly shifts her gaze to Kevin. "I'll continue in the

kitchen later."

When Kevin hears this, his eyes light up. "Really?"

Sunny nods with a smile. Although she has experienced something unpleasant, she is in a good mood

now.

"Alright then, Troy, hurry up and open the door."

The elevator quickly takes them to the destination. Kevin kicks Troy and asks him to open the door.

After Baron goes out with Macie, Kevin follows Sunny and walks out of the elevator.

"Honey...." Kevin keeps in company with Sunny. "Honey...."

Kevin's address gives Sunny gooseflesh.

"If you have something to say, just spit it out. Don't do this."

She pats her arm with an unnatural expression. Obviously, she feels it is too nauseating.

"Let's go to the kitchen." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Sunny knows that he wants to hear that story, so she clears her throat and says, "Take the vegetables

inside first. I'll wash my hands."

Kevin walks into the kitchen happily. "Hurry up."

Sunny watches his receding figure and shakes her head with a smile. "How cute he is...."

After washing her hands, Sunny rejects Troy's offer to help. Then, she goes inside the kitchen and pats

Kevin's shoulder.

"You must have been waiting for a long time." She blinks at Kevin. As Sunny deals with those

ingredients, she is thinking about where to start.

"When I woke up again, I found myself lying on the ground covered with clothes. Fortunately, it was

sunny, and the ground was dry."

When Kevin hears this, he is heartbroken. At that time, Sunny was pregnant, and....

Sunny seems to know what he is thinking. Although she keeps cutting vegetables, she is careful with

her words.

"Everything will pass." Sunny smiled. "I am standing in front of you safe and sound now."

Sunny's words of comfort make Kevin more depressed.

"If I could have known it earlier...."

On hearing this, Sunny puts down the knife. "Kevin, I don't mean to make you feel guilty. I just want to

tell you about my experiences. You know, when I am telling you these, I feel much more relieved, as if I

were telling a story."

She observes Kevin's expression and continues, "So, don't feel any mental stress. If you continue to

blame yourself like this, I won't tell you more in the future."

Kevin gazes at the vegetables in his hand, feeling the water flow through his fingers without saying a

word.

After a long time, as Sunny is cutting meat, she hears him say, "Alright."

Sunny doesn't turn around at the sound of Kevin's voice, but she quietly smiles.

"Then ... do you still want to listen more?"

Kevin nods. "Yes."

"When I woke up, I saw Troy and Baron, who looked guilty. Then I smiled at them and asked them if my

child was still alive."

"Luckily, Macie was strong. It seemed she was predestined to be my daughter. Troy nodded and told

me that the child was still alive, but I was very weak."

"Meanwhile, my hands and feet were broken, so I lay in bed for a long time, and Macie was delivered

by Caesarean section."

Sunny pauses for a moment, as if she remembers something. She then frowns. "That's all. Afterwards,

we desperately wanted to come back, so we went out to the sea and sent out distress signal every

day."

"A passing ship pulled us up, and then we borrowed a mobile phone. Only then did we get in touch with

someone else and fly back."

Kevin does not know what Sunny has omitted. As a listener, he even feels so uncomfortable. Sunny

must have been more terrified when personally experienced it.

"It's fine. I was not alone at that time."

Sunny smiles, "After coming back, I immediately applied for a household registration for Macie. I was

afraid that she wouldn't even be able to go to school."

At the thought of something, Sunny puts on a reluctant smile. "I didn't expect to meet you again. I

thought you were already with Bella at that time, so I was disheartened. I planned to raise Macie by

myself and lead a peaceful life."

When Kevin hears this, he involuntarily clenches his hands. "I...."

He wanted to say something. But after a pause, he is at a loss what to say.

"What?"

Sunny puts the vegetables into the pot. As she listens to the sound of water and oil colliding, she turns

to look at Kevin and asks, "What do you want to say?"

"I liked you back then..."

Kevin finally decides to be honest with Sunny.

Because of his straight sweet talk, Sunny blushes.

"Don't talk nonsense. Macie is still outside. It's embarrassed!"

Since he has told Sunny his feeling, Kevin is no longer reserved. He puts the clean vegetables on the

chopping board and says, "Speaking of which, I had feelings for you the first time I saw you. That

night...."

As Kevin talks about it, Sunny feels as if it were a story happened long time ago.

"Later, I heard that something bad happened to you, so I made up my mind to walk up to you."

There is another reason why Kevin pays attention to Sunny, but he consumes that it is not the perfect

timing.

"But at that time, I didn't know my feeling clearly. I thought I loved Bella, but I couldn't help but think

about you."

Kevin says as if he is a little embarrassed. His hands are tightly clenched together. "It wasn't until you

left ... that I..."

Sunny suddenly falls into silence. 'Fortunately, I'm still alive. Otherwise, what a pity for both of us!'

Kevin realizes this. He walks over and hugs Sunny. "Fortunately, I find you...."

Sunny's heart is slowly warmed by this embrace, but the vegetables in the pot are burnt.

At night, Troy circles around the burnt dish for a few times. Then he stands up and sighs. "Sunny, as far

as I know, when you first cooked, you didn't burn the dish. How does it come..."

As he speaks, he glances at Kevin from time to time.

"Other dishes are fine. Don't eat this."

Sunny is a little embarrassed. Although she and Kevin open their hearts to each other, this burnt dish is

disappointing.

Kevin sits down first, and then picks up the burnt dish. "It tasted good. Troy, have I been too kind to

you? How dare you complain of the dishes cooked by my wife?"

Kevin's threat scares Troy. Then Troy sits down to enjoy the food.

At the sight of the scene, Sunny can't help but laugh heartily.

"Mom, I want that."

The dish is beyond the reach of Macie, so she stretches out her chopsticks and asks for help.

Before Sunny says anything, the three men help Macie.

...

Somehow, it touches Sunny.

Sunny does not grow up in a happy home environment. Now that Macie enjoys a happy childhood,

Sunny feels that it makes up for her loss.

"Sunny, stop standing there laughing foolishly. Come over for dinner now."

Troy speaks to Sunny while he is wolfing the food down.

"Be careful. Don't spit it out."

As Sunny says, she sits down for dinner with them.

However, the atmosphere was gloomy in another place.

"You are useless. They run away under your noses."

This angry woman is the seductive woman that Sunny has 'encountered' several times before.

She is so angry that her chest rises and falls. The rose attracts a lot of people's attention, especially

that kidnapper's.

"Jasper."

While the kidnapper is still in a daze, he hears that he has been called. Thus, he immediately

straightens his back while kneeling on the ground.

The woman looks at him with a somewhat disgusted expression. "I'll give you another chance to atone

for your sins. If you fail this time, you'll be the same as that person."

Jasper can't help but shiver when he thinks of the tragic death of that person. Then he returns in a

trembling voice, "Got it. I won't be like him."

"That's the best."

The woman waves her hand at the group of people and orders, "Leave. I'm tired."

"Jasper, you stay." The woman seems to remember something.
