A Mysterious Man

When Sunny hears that his daughter and Kevin have a secret, her look of blame immediately falls on Kevin, “I am wrongly accused.”

He quickly waves his hands and grinds his teeth at Macie, why does this girl reveal their secrets.

Macie realizes that she had said misspoke, quickly tugs Sunny’s nightgown, “Mommy, I’m tired.”

Sunny sees that she could barely keep her eyes open, could only leave Kevin aside and tuck Macie into bed before continuing.

“Mommy, can you and daddy tuck me in one on either side?”

Sunny couldn’t reject Macie’s request and both of them stands on either side of the bed to coax her to sleep.

After some effort, Macie is finally asleep and Sunny yawns and is extremely tired.

“Let’s sleep early, come, do you want to sleep in my embrace?”

Sunny glares at him and says stiffly, “Piss off!”

She closes her eyes and when she opens her eyes, it is the next morning.

Sunny uses her hand to block the sun rays beaming in from the window and then realizes that the place next to her is empty. Kevin and Macie had already left.

“Is anyone out there?”

No one answers her and Sunny has a bad feeling creeping over her, could it be…

But when she opens the bedroom door, she realizes that she had worried for nothing. They are in the kitchen figuring out a new dish. “Why did you wake up so early?” She sighs a breath of relief when she realizes that she has over-worried and thereafter comes the anger.

“You all don’t even answer me causing my thoughts to wander.”

Macie says innocently, “Mommy, we already tried…”

“But you slept like a pig and we couldn’t wake you up. That’s why we decided to wake you up again after breakfast is ready.”

When she hears Macie’s words, Sunny feels that something is off, she didn’t expect Kevin to be so ruthless as to expose her.

“Oh? What kind of breakfast are you preparing?”

She decides to change the subject.

“Mommy, we made the crepes that you like but we don’t know if it tastes good.”

The way Macie put it seems to be seeking credits for her efforts. She places a plate of off-colored crepes in front of her, “Mommy, look.”

…

“Are you trying to poison me?” When Sunny sees the plate of crepe she sighs, “Or you don’t want me alive anymore?”

Kevin speaks, “Isn’t that the same meaning?”

“That’s why, I’m asking what your intentions are, or …”
