A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 176

Sunny, who is standing by, doesn't know what to do. She has never thought that Wade, Kevin's grandfather, would wait for them at the door.

"Sunny, you are pregnant, don't stand here. Let Kevin help you in first."

Wade can always let others dance to his tune. As soon as he speaks, Kevin comes to Sunny.

"Mr. Kevin, Mr. Wade specially brings me here today to teach you some skill, which will be useful in the future."

Parker puts those things in order for Kevin, then straights up and walks into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Kevin helps his wife to sit on the sofa first, and then makes a cup of tea for Wade before entering the kitchen.

"Parker, please tell me what to do."

Sunny, who is sitting in the living room, is a little uneasy. There are two reason. The first one is Kevin is not around her. And the other one is that Wade seems to want to say something and has been coughing there.

"Grandpa, just say what you want to say."

Sunny couldn't bear it any more. She says to Wade on a dare.

Seeing that his intention is seen through, Wade coughs awkwardly, "Well, you must know what I said to Kevin during the day, right?"

Sunny wants be a fool, but Wade is studying her with his sharp eyes, so that she cannot even tell a lie.

So, she just nods, "I know."

Wade nods, "What's your opinion? "

‘My opinion?’ thinks Sunny. She can't figure out what Wade is thinking.

"I think Kevin can handle this matter by himself. I believe he can do it well."

Sunny weighs her words carefully, trying to show her magnanimity and trust in Kevin.

"Well, do you think I'm a little indifferent?"

Sunny is stunned. She doesn't know why Wade says so.

"Well, to be honest, I promised that Kevin's father would marry… but he..."

Wade doesn't finish his words, but Sunny makes a positive guess by reading so many outdated novels.

It's just that Kevin's father meets someone he really likes, and Wade can't fulfill the promise, so he postpones it to Kevin.

"Grandpa, actually..." Sunny sits up straight, "I've seen that girl."

The one named Hana Butler is really beautiful.

Hearing this, Wade leans forward slightly, "What do you think of Hana, the little daughter of the Butler family?"

Sunny doesn't want to praise her rival in love. However, her beauty is an undeniable fact.

"She's beautiful and smart..." Sunny even thinks that Hana is more suitable for Kevin than herself.

When Wade hears her words, he shows a playful smile, "Really? But I think you are more suitable for Kevin than her."

What? The sudden appreciation makes Sunny looks up, "Grandpa, are you serious?"

"Hana is beautiful, but whenever I think of her standing next to Kevin, I feel strange..."

Sunny doesn't quite understand why Wade tells her that, she asks, "Then, you mean..."

"But I can't lose face this time. Ask Kevin to break the promise. "

Sunny doesn't understand what he means until now, "Thank you, grandpa."

In the kitchen, Kevin's study is going on. Parker puts the rolled dough into the refrigerator. "Although you can't become a top chef right now, you can try to learn the simple things that I've got for you."

Kevin nods modestly, "Okay."

"Do you know why your grandfather comes this time?"

Kevin is not sure, "Is it for his great-grandchild?"

Parker shakes his head helplessly when he hears this, "You really are..."

Kevin pauses and says, "Is it for me?"

"To be exact, it's for your wife. He knows that you're not good at coaxing others, so he come in person to neutralize her fear."

Kevin never thinks that his grandpa is so careful. Therefore, he takes something out of the kitchen cabinet after thinking.

"Parker, this is the wine made by my wife. I know he’s taken to boozing. Please help him control himself."

Parker seems to expect this, and He is calm when he takes the bottle.

Then he lifts the lid of the wine and smells it. "Ouch, it's so fragrant. Your wife is good at it."

Hearing his praise for Sunny, Kevin laughs as if he had been praised. "Thank you for your praise."

Parker turns to be serious, "Don't forget what I told you. She is a pregnant woman now. You should pay attention to what she eats. It's not that everything can be eaten indiscriminately."

Kevin nods, "Got it."

Wade is going to stay for dinner, and Kevin is not good at cooking. Thus, Parker cooks and Kevin helps him.

Sunny is prophetic. She gives Wade a bag of snack, "Grandpa, have some food first."

Wade doesn't understand what it means until he sees that the clock on the wall shows that it is past his meal time. Only then does he find that Sunny really has foresight.

"Poor you."

"I'm fine."

"Hey! What are you talking about!"

Kevin just comes out with a dish and puts it on the table. He could not help but interrupt them when he hears they are talking about him.

Sunny raises her eyebrows and makes a face at Kevin's back. Then she quickly converges and changes into a pathetic look, "I'm so hungry..."

Wade also echoes, "Kevin, I'm hungry too..."

Looking at the two screwballs, Kevin feels helpless, "OK, OK. I'm not today's chief."

Hearing that Kevin is not cooking, they are relieved.

"Parker, hurry up, I'm hungry!"

Wade roars at the kitchen. His voice sounds so energetic that he doesn't seems hungry at all.

But Parker in the kitchen is in a hurry when he hears his voice. He quickly puts the last dish on the plate.

Kevin comes in and sees him in such a hurry. He couldn't help saying, "Parker, there's no hurry."

"Oh, forget it. It's OK. Take this dish out first, and then come in to get rice."

Kevin does as Parker's words, "Parker, what do you want to say just now?"

"Mr. Kevin, I almost forgot to tell you something. All pregnant women have to eat on time. Although I don't know the secret, you just do it."

Kevin looks at Sunny silently, who is ready to enjoy the food. He nods, "OK, I know. What time is better for dinner?"

Parker thinks, "There are no strict requirements."

Kevin writes down on the small blackboard of the refrigerator, "Have, meals, on, time."

Just as he is writing, Parker has already put out the last bowl of chicken soup in the bowl, "Take it out. It's done."

Kevin sniffs secretly, "Parker, it smells delicious."

Parker smiles, "By the way, where is Irene?"

Hearing the name, Kevin's face darkens, "She..."

Before he figures out the wording, Parker says, "Does she ask for leave to go home?"

Well? Kevin nods without hesitation, "Yes, she has gone home first and said she would come back."

Parker wipes his hands. "I don't know if I can see her again."

Kevin feels strange when he hears this. But when he wants to ask again, he finds that Parker has already gone out.

"Sir, how is the meal?"

Wade tastes the food and says, "it's OK. It's light enough." Suitable for pregnant women.

"Well, I make this dish for Miss Sunny, so it may taste a little bit light for you."

It's not just a little bit!

When Sunny heard this, she takes back the chopsticks that she has planned to pick vegetables. "I... I don't have to be so special."

However, Wade throws his chopsticks and says, "Of course, you have! You are one of the Quinn. So, you deserve it."

Hearing Wade's words, Sunny has no choice but to eat, "Then, thank you."

Leaning on the doorframe, Kevin witnesses the whole process and feels funny.

"Well, let's eat. Especially you, Kevin."

Although Wade is old, he has a strong body. Both his hearing and eyesight are as good as he was when he was young.

So, he hears song Kevin snickering and the purring of his stomach.

Sunny doesn't have much experience of eating with elders.

She used to do it. However, after Lora came to her home, she doesn't want to go back, let alone eat with them.

Therefore, during the meal, her gazes shoots back and forth on Wade and Parker, considering whether she has to say something.

"Here's your favorite fish."

Just as she is thinking about it, Kevin put fish in her bowl, which really scares her.

"Thank..."

This is not right. Sunny can can only bite the piece of fish slowly, thinking about what she should say at this time.

"Keep silent while eating..."

But Kevin suddenly speaks. Sunny raises her head and sees that his eyes are on Wade.

"Well, I know, I know."

Wade swallows his food and says impatiently, "How can my grandson be so annoying?"
