A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 124

After staying in the hospital for 2 days, the doctor confirms that the wound on her back is pretty much okay and she'll be okay after taking out stitches next time, Sunny finally gets discharged.

The weather on the day she gets discharged is great! Everyone comes to pick her up from the hospital. Troy is holding Macie's hand with Baron standing beside them, and Kelly's family beside him.

“Let's go, watch your steps.”

Kevin gently puts his arms around Sunny's waist while his other arm carries the luggage. He slowly guides her to the car.

“You must be careful when getting in the car, slowly... I'll take a cushion for you.” Because the day she gets discharged is also Macie's birthday, so they don't go straight to home and goes to Macie's birthday party prepared by Kevin.

Macie looks very excited throughout the journey that she can't sit still in the car. She'll touch something for a while and rub another thing for a while.

Troy can even feel her excitement by sitting beside her, “Macie, why are you so excited? It's not your first birthday party. Were your previous birthday parties which Baron and I had planned not good enough?”

Macie shakes her head, “It's not the same, there was no daddy! But now there's daddy, and it's a first for me.” Troy shakes his head before speaking to Baron who's driving the car.

“Does this count as a brat who kicks the ladder?”

“Sigh... That means that the three of us are not as important as Kevin in Macie's heart.”

Macie panics, “No, Macie thinks that you're both very important too, it's just my first time with daddy...”

Baron and Troy look at each other and laughs, they arrive at the destination with their joyous laughs.

“Come, baby, get off the car and be the third wheel.”

Macie pouts, “You're really bad, sending me as the third wheel? Am I stupid?”

She looks up at Kelly while speaking, who's getting off the car while carrying her little brother, “I don't want to play with you anymore! I want to see my little brother!”

She says that while quickly walking to Kelly's side, “I want to see little brother, he's so cute! Can I play with him?”

Kelly likes this little girl who looks pretty similar to Sunny when she was a kid, so she squats down and Macie, “Here, you can play with him.”

Kevin and Sunny is there before Macie gets to play with him, “Macie, don't seize the opportunity to bully your little brother.”

Sunny sees through and stops Macie before she stretches her evil hands out.

“Humph, Mommy is bad.”

Macie unhappily puts her evil hand down and enters.

When she looks at the room Kevin had prepared meticulously, she immediately becomes happy.

The whole room is full of dolls, balloons, and girlish things.

“Whoa! Daddy, it's so pretty~”

She puts the unhappiness behind, Macie opens her eyes widely and picks up a doll in the corner, “It's Cinderella...”

Kevin looks at her with a proud smile.

“When did you prepare it?”

Not only Macie, even Kelly and Sunny likes this room very much.

“I managed to spare some time these few days, I didn't know what a little girl likes so I just bought everything.”

He says that while shouting to Macie, “Baby, do you like it?”

“Yeah! Daddy, I like it very much!”

Macie carries a doll with one hand and holds a mirror in another, imagining that she's a princess.

“Hehe, girls.”

Sunny sits beside Kevin, “Thank you, you took a lot of troubles.”

Kevin glances at her, “Is there something wrong with your brain?”

“What?”

“There shouldn't be any 'thank you' between husband and wife, it's too strange.”

It's the first time for Sunny to hear the words that defines their relationship. She blushes in shyness, “You're annoying.”

Right at this time, Ellison comes to Kevin's side, “I have something to say, let's go outside.”

Kevin glances and nods at Sunny before following Ellison out.

“What's wrong?”

“Bella is dead.”

“Isn't she dead, long ago?”

“Now this one is dead too.”

“Bro, you're joking, right?”

Kevin is stunned after hearing Ellison's words. At this time, Sunny comes over with Macie in her arms. Seeing Kevin's expression, she can't help asking, “Did something happen?”

Ellison glances at Kevin, “Ask him, I have stuff to do so I'm going first.”

Sunny pushes Kevin away and asks in a low voice, “What exactly happened?”

The push brings Kevin back to earth, “Nothing, my brother told me something, he said that Bella…”

“What happened to her?” there's a bad feeling in Sunny's heart after looking at his expression, “You mean…”

“She's dead.”

Sunny can't calm down, she puts Macie down first in a hurry, “Play with your step dad first, I need to talk about something with your dad.”

Macie doesn't understand and today is her birthday, so she just runs without looking at Sunny's expression. After Macie walks away, Sunny asks, “How did she die?”

“Who else? The Hawkins family wouldn't let someone go so easily, and Andrei doesn't intend to let her live on since her identity is exposed.

“Ah…” Sunny is still a bit shocked. People could vanish in such a short time, just like that.

“Then, who makes the decision in Hawkins family now?”

Kevin glances at her, “What do you mean?”

“Last time, I was told that someone was interested in working with us to take Andrei down. How is it now?”

Kevin is stunned for a while and then he says, “Tomorrow, let's go and take a look.”

Sunny nods and turns her attention back to the party, but her mind is all messed up.

Bella died, just like that?

As if Kevin sees through her mind, he embraces her, “Stop thinking, this ending is good for her too.”

Sunny sighs and looks at Macie who's currently playing not far from there, “I hope this will quickly pass...”

Kevin kisses her forehead, “I guarantee you that it will.”

“Pfff.” Don't know what Sunny is thinking about, but she can't help laughing.

“What's wrong?”

“You don't seem like other CEOs.”

Kevin smiles after hearing that, “Do you like the very first me?”

Sunny recalls their first meeting and shakes her head with strength, “The present you are good too.”

“You two there, it's time to cut the cake so stop flirting.”

Kelly doesn't know what happens, so she just looks at them hugging like they have forgotten the main matters.

“Ah, I'm coming.”

Sunny pushes Kevin away, she walks to Macie's side with a blushing face, “Baby, you're a year older today.”

Macie looks unhappy hearing that, “Do I have to leave mommy when I've grown up?” Sunny shakes her head, “No way, you will always be mommy's little baby.”

Kevin walks over and puts his hands on Sunny, “Yeah, you're daddy's little baby too.”

Hearing that, the gloom on Macie's face turns into a smile.

“Cut the cake.”

“Make a wish before blowing out the candle.”

Macie sincerely clenches her little fist and seriously makes a wish. After opening her eyes, Kevin asks her, “You've made a wish?”

Macie nods, “Yeah.”

“Blow out the candle.”

Everyone sits down after a series of ceremonies to eat some food and desserts. Sunny's mind keeps revolving around Bella's death, making her unable to hear Kelly, who keeps calling her name several times by her side.

“What happened to you? Something seems wrong.”

Sunny shakes her head, “Nothing, I was thinking about work just now.” Kelly takes a glance at her in suspicion, she doesn't believe her, but she can't ask any further either if Sunny doesn't want to say it.

“Eat something, this cake is quite tasty.”

Sunny forces out a smile, she takes a fork to try the cake.

Kevin had chosen the cake very carefully. That cake is not too sweet and not too greasy.

“Honey, is it tasty?”

Kevin notices that Sunny finally eats something, only then he sighs in relief and nods at Kelly.

“Yeah, it's tasty.” The cake turns Sunny's attention to it.

Only then she realizes that she's really hungry, and so she eats some more.

“Eat slowly. There'll be more after this.”

Kevin says that while reaching out to put her scattered hairs around her ears in order, “Careful, don't eat your hair.”

Sunny blushes again because of his actions.

“I, I know... Don't mind me, just eat.” Kevin smiles and rubs Sunny's ears, “Okay.”

Kelly on the other side subconsciously moves closer to Macie while rubbing her goose bumps.

After eating, Kevin tells everyone about the news.

As expected, everyone’s reaction is different.

“She's dead? Is that true?” this comes from Troy, who can't believe it, “Since she has played dead before to escape.”

“That's pretty good too, it saved us the trouble.” this comes from Baron that looks indifferent.

“Could it be some sort of conspiracy?” Kelly seriously talks about conspiracy.
