A Mysterious Man

Chapter 153: Please Don't

"Shut up and get out of my face."

Kevin loses his patience when he hears "back then".

Damien isn't surprised to hear him say that. He just shrugs and says, "Mr. Quinn, you'll look for me." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Kevin sneers. After watching Damien leave, he leans against the wall powerlessly.

He skillfully lights a cigarette. He has never smoked in front of Sunny, but he would do it by himself

when he is in a bad mood.

He watches as the smoke that just came out of his mouth flies into the air and then slowly disappears

into nothingness. Except for the nasty smell, no traces of it are left.

He sighs.

He extinguishes the cigarette and takes a deep breath before walking back in. There are some things

he needs to face.

After Kevin turns around and leaves, Sunny is at a loss for what to do.

But she doesn't know where to go, so she can only look around aimlessly.

After a while, Sunny is somewhat disappointed. She watches as people leave. She is also ready to

stand up and get out of here.

Just then, she is pressed down onto her seat again by someone, and she has no time to resist.

"Who is it?"

She looks back angrily, only to find a familiar figure.

"Kevin!"

Sunny looks at Kevin, somewhat aggrieved and annoyed, and then proudly turns her head and looks

ahead, sitting still.

"Honey, don't stay mad. I shouldn't have done that to you just now."

Kevin says as he waves a packing box, saying, "Let's go. Take Macie. We're going back together."

"Wait. What about Grandpa?"

Hearing that, Kevin looks not far away and says, "What do you think?"

Sunny looks at the same direction and sees that the old master is sitting next to a nice-looking old

woman. They are chatting and laughing.

...

"Where is Macie?"

Kevin glances around and says, "There she is. Let's go."

Sunny walks in the direction he points, and discovers that Macie is talking to a little boy blushing.

"Macie, we're going home."

Sunny calls out to her. But to her surprise, not only does Macie ignore her, but she even turns her back

to her.

...

The boy is sensible and points at Sunny after he hears that, saying, "Is this your mother? So your

name is Macie."

Macie gets shy for some reason. She runs to Sunny and hides herself behind her. Then, she makes a

face at the boy.

"Say goodbye to him. We're going home."

Macie waves her hand at him as she was told, and then follows Sunny out.

"Mom, I didn't mean to ignore you just now."

Sunny nods and says, "I know."

Noticing that Kevin is here, Macie becomes happy again. "Dad, I just ran into a friend from

kindergarten!"

Kevin squats down to make direct eye level contact with Macie, saying, "Then can you introduce him to

Dad next time?"

Macie nods shyly and replies, "Then let's go home."

Kevin smiles as he holds Sunny in one hand and picks up Macie with the other. They walk over to say

goodbye to the old master before going home.

"Aren't we going to let Kelly and Ellison know that we are leaving?"

Kevin remembers how he is played by his brother just now, and a cold smile appears on his face.

"They are gone already."

Are they? When did it happen? Why didn't Sunny notice it?

Sunny tries to remember for a long time, but is sure that she didn't see them leave.

"Alright then, forget it."

Under Kevin's deception, Sunny soon forgets her bestie and is dragged out of this place.

"I'll fetch the car. Wait for me here. It's cold outside."

When she gets in the car, Sunny takes off her high heels and puts on the clothes she feels most

comfortable.

"Changing so quickly? I haven't even had time to admire you."

Kevin smiles wickedly from the side. "But it's fine. I will when we arrive home."

Sunny glances at Macie who is asleep in the back seat, and then heaves a sigh of relief, saying, "It's

inappropriate to say things like that in front of Macie."

As she says that, she puts down the back of the chair and lies on it. Inhaling, she says, "It is like I had

just fought a war. I am so exhausted."

Hearing that, Kevin glances sideways at Sunny and says, "How about I provide you with special

services?"

Sunny thinks of that dirty exercise and sits up, replying, "We are so tired tonight. Rain check?"

Kevin looks at her with a puzzled look and says, "I meant a leg massage. What are you thinking?"

In an instant, it feels weird in the car.

Sunny coughs and says, "I, I thought you wanted me to serve you. I misunderstood you."

Kevin smiles. He knows what Sunny was thinking about. Out of respect for his wife, he drops this topic.

"I'll prepare you hot water when we get back. Take a good bath to wash off the bad luck. We went to

the police station today. It wasn't a nice thing after all."

Hearing that, Sunny stares at Kevin with disbelief.

"What?"

Kevin is a little embarrassed by her gaze, so he can only look ahead, his eyes motionless.

"I never thought you were actually old-fashioned. It surprised me that you believe in luck."

He knew she would say this, and regrets that he ever said it.

"There are some things that science can't explain. It's fine to believe that. Anyway, you take a good

bath and go to bed early. Other important things might happen tomorrow."

Sunny asks, "What things?"

...

"I don't know."

"Then let's go to bed early today, and don't do anything stupid."

Sunny suggests it, and Kevin is interested.

"What do you mean by 'stupid'? What are stupid?"

Sunny can't argue with him, so she just pinches him on the thigh again.

"It hurts."

Kevin sucks in a breath of cold air. He didn't expect her to do it again.

So, he grits his teeth and says, "Woman, you're playing with fire."

Sunny isn't afraid anymore and even sticks out her tongue at Kevin.

When Kevin turns around, he sees her tongue resting on her lower lip, and feels a burst of tension in

his belly.

Thus, Kevin says, "Sit tight."

Then, he steps on the accelerator and drives straight home.

After tucking in Macie, Sunny stretches lazily and says, "I'm going to take a shower. You take a rest

first. Do you want honey water?"

Kevin nods. "I'll give you a massage when you're done."

Sunny squints and asks, "Why are you so nice all of a sudden?"

Kevin feels that Sunny has been teasing him, and that she is luring him to bed with her eyes.

"Go and take the bath." Or he might lose control.

Sunny notices that Kevin can barely hold it and goes to the bathroom with her pajamas.

Actually, Kevin isn't wrong. Sunny feels she was ridiculed in the car, so she wants to trick him by flirting

with him.

For example, before she goes into the bathroom, she winks at him.

'I must have drunk too much,' he thinks to himself.

Therefore, Kevin does not wait for Sunny to make him honey water. He goes to the kitchen to make a

cup of strong tea, and when it is not that hot, he drinks it like it were juice.

Sunny soaks in the bathtub for a long time by design. When she feels that Kevin is probably too burnt

out to mess around with her, she walks out of the bathroom in a bathrobe.

...

Hence, when Kevin, who has just calmed down, sees Sunny, who is almost half naked, his eyes are

almost flaming.

"Darling, didn't you say you wanted to pinch my legs? Wait a moment. I'll get you some honey water."

As she speaks, Sunny deliberately runs past him. The unique fragrance of the bath gel goes straight to

Kevin's nose like a gust of wind.

He suspects even more that Sunny is doing this on purpose.

Especially after she comes back, she sits down beside him and places her legs on his laps. "Darling,

massage me. Why? Are you unhappy?"

"No."

Kevin almost forces out the word from between his teeth. Then, he puts his hands on Sunny's legs. He

feels them smoother than usual. Maybe she applied something on them.

"Darling," Sunny pretends to mention this casually, "Did you find anyone attractive at the table today? I

have a cousin. He is the son of the aunt we met at Zola's wedding a long time ago. His mother asked

me to find him a good date."

Kevin's attention is on Sunny's fair legs, and he doesn't even hear clearly what she just said before

answering, "I think they were all pretty."

Hearing that, Sunny frowns and almost kicks him on his sensitive spot.

"I wasn't paying attention. I wonder if you know anyone there. I remember a little girl at our table talked

to you."

Sunny imitates the girl's tone and Kevin finally realizes something.

"Wait. Are you serious? Your aunt wants you to find a girlfriend for your cousin?"

Sunny says, "That's right. What's there to question?"

Kevin puts down her legs, leans closer to her, and asks, "Then why do you keep asking me about

it?"
