A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 139

Sunny helplessly sighs, and then changed the topic, “Anyway, things will become easy after we find him.”

“Sunny, be careful. We don’t know much about Jonathan. You must be careful with everything.”

Roger warns Sunny worriedly. However, Kevin says aggressively, “I will take good care of her.”

...

When they are about to leave Michelle’s brother’s house, Macie is the one who is most reluctant to leave.

“Mom, I want to play with little sister,” Macie says.

The adults can’t help but laugh out loud.

“Be good. I’ll take you here next time. Little sister has to rest now.”

The adorable little boy is unhappy to hear the word “sister”, and he sticks his tongue out at Macie.

“We have to go.”

Kevin is afraid that his daughter is unwilling to leave, so he carries Macie in his arms and leaves without turning back.

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

Sunny is puzzled, “Is there a tiger behind?”

“There’s a bad boy behind, trying to do something bad to my daughter.”

Sunny is somewhat helpless towards Kevin’s being unreasonable. She says, “Mr. Kevin, if I’m not mistaken, your daughter is going to do something bad to him, right?”

However, Kevin chooses ignore what he doesn’t want to hear.

...

“Let’s go. We’re going home.”

“Mom, there seems to be someone there.” Macie, who is lying on Kevin’s back, suddenly straightens up and points at some bushes on the roadside.

Sunny is shocked. She subconsciously looks in that direction, but she only sees branches swaying in the wind.

“I don’t see anyone there. What do you see, Kevin?”

Kevin glances behind him and says, “I see nothing.”

Thus, Sunny can only tell Macie, “Macie, no one is there. Don’t be afraid. You must be sleepy.”

Macie rubs her eyes and says, “Perhaps. When are we going to get home?”

Kevin opens the door of the car and puts Macie in her private seat. He says, “We’re almost there. You can take a nap in the car.”

Macie is very sleep. But at the last moment before she closes her eyes, she sees the figure hiding behind the bushes again.

“Uncle Jonathan...”

Kevin drives home smoothly. He holds Macie out of the car right after they get home and is about to carries her to bed.

However, Sunny says, “There’s no hurry. Wake her up first. Otherwise, she will wake up at night and can’t fall asleep again.”

Sunny insists, and Kevin can only wake Macie up with sorry. Then, he watches Macie staggering into the house.

“Baby, go brush your teeth and wash your face before go to bed,” Sunny says.

She looks at Macie, who is in a daze.

“Forget it, she’s still a child. I’ll help her.” Kevin can’t bear to watch any longer.

However, Sunny stops him and says, “It’s fine. She can and she has to do these things by herself.”

Therefore, Kevin can only watch his little daughter staggering into the bathroom as if she is sleepwalking.

“You are too strict with her, aren’t you?”

Kevin asked Sunny in a low voice, “After all, she is still a child.”

Sunny shook her head, “If we aren’t strict with her now, she will be in a difficult situation in the future. She is fine. Trust me.”

Kevin has no status at home and he can only obey Sunny unconditionally.

Kevin stands at the door of the bathroom and watches Macie accomplishing everything with her eyes closed. He finally breathes a sigh of relief, and then carries her to bed.

He covers her with a blanket and kisses her on the forehead. “Good night, baby.”

After finishing his duties as a father, Kevin heaves a sigh of relief. He stands still and looks up to see Sunny looking at him at the door.

“How do you feel, Kevin?”

Kevin laughs out loud and says, “Are you tired today?”

Sunny sighs, “I’m not tired when looking after Macie, but I’m tired when looking after you.”

Hearing this, Kevin walks forward and pinches Sunny’s waist lightly. Then, he bends down and whispers in Sunny’s ear, “Wait for me in bed.”

Sunny glares at him, blushing. And Kevin goes to take a shower with satisfaction.

Sunny goes to Macie’s bedside and sits down. She tucks her in the blanket, and kisses her on the forehead. “Good night, my little baby.”

Only then does she gently stand up and close the door.

Good night. Sweet dreams.

Sometimes it is the dream that wakes a person up, but sometimes it is the sound of knocking hard on the door that wakes a person up.
