A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 130

“Do we come to the wrong floor?”

When Kevin hears it, he bursts into laughter. “Just go in and have a look. Then you will know.”

Sunny walks in and happens to see Lewis coming out. She grabs his sleeve and asks, “Lewis, what happened here?”

Lewis doesn’t know who has grabbed him. He is about to lose his temper when he sees that it is Sunny. So he quickly restrains his expression, “Miss.”

Sunny lets go of his hand and says, “Just tell me what happened. Why is it so broken?”

Kevin slowly walks in after her. He nods at Lewis and asks, “How is it?”

Lewis decides to answer the two questions together. “Well, Mr. Kevin and I have been scheming against Lora’s company and come up with an idea of pretending to be poor and asking her for help.”

Sunny becomes silent when she hears this plan. “Just that?”

“There are some other things. However, I guess Lewis probably thinks that you can’t understand it, so he doesn’t tell you.”

Hearing this, Sunny angrily steps on Kevin’s shoes.

Lewis hurriedly explains, “No, Miss. That’s not what I mean.”

But he feels that it sounds even worse after he explained.

“Forget it. Then how is Lora’s company now?”

“Not good. She’s almost bankrupt. As long as we continue to drag her down, she will have to dump her shares for circulating capital. Then we can take advantage of this opportunity to buy her shares.”

“We can do that?”

Sunny is dumbfounded. She never knows that Lewis, who looks dorky, would come up with such a trick.

However, Lewis does not dare to take credit. “This is Mr. Kevin’s idea. I was just carrying out his plan.”

Hearing this, Sunny glances at Kevin and teases, “You are so smart, aren’t you?”

Kevin narrows his eyes and smiles, “Yeah, simple tricks.” This is how it feels to be praised by his wife.

Lewis offers to show them around this ‘broken’ company. The current Snail Shell looks very shabby in Sunny’s eyes.

“What a tragedy. It’s best to end this as soon as possible. Otherwise, your working environment will be difficult.”

Lewis smiles when he hears this. “It’s fine, Miss. We’re not that miserable.”

Kevin interrupts them coldly, “Then can we delay this a little longer?”

Lewis is just being polite. He doesn’t expect Kevin to take it seriously. He is so shocked that he begins to sweat. “Mr. Kevin, are you kidding?”

Kevin puts his hands in his pockets, “I never joke.”

Lewis feels wronged. “If you’re serious, then I have no other choice but accept it.”

Hearing that, Sunny secretly nudges Kevin’s elbow with hers. “Are you serious?”

Kevin says, “What do you think?”

With the company of the aggrieved Lewis, they gradually become familiar with Snail Shell. Before leaving, Kevin turns around and says, “Do a good job and try to finish it in the next year.”

At first, Lewis doesn’t understand what it means. It’s not until Kevin walks far away does Lewis get the point, “Yes, Mr. Kevin.”

On the other hand, Lora is anxiously sitting in her office and listening to the reports of the supervisors. “Alright, I know.”

She waves her hand to let them go and rubs her eyebrows tiredly.

The company seems to have developed quite well in recent years. Lora has also purchased several companies. However, she doesn’t expect that this branch would consume so much money, and the others are also short of money.

It’s not easy to keep her position. If she can’t get enough circulating capital, she would probably be taken place of.

After thinking for a while, she takes out her phone and calls, “Hello? Mr. Lee, this is Lora. I need some money. Can you...”

Sunny touches her belly and says, “It seems that things are almost done here. Where are we going now?”

Kevin points at her head. “You said that you were going to cook tonight. Don’t you remember? Let’s go to the market to buy some food now. And then we will go to pick up Macie.”

Then Sunny remembers it. “Right, yes. What do you want for dinner? I’ll cook it for you.”

“Anything would be fine. Your cooking is so good. I’ll eat whatever you cook.”

Sunny says in a gloomy tone, “So if I’m not good at cooking, you won’t eat anymore?”

Only then does Kevin realize what he has said. “No, I’ll still eat even if your cooking were bad. I’ll eat anything you cook.”

Then Sunny lets him go. “Good boy, then drive.”

Hearing this, Kevin gives her a meaningful look, “Say it again?”

“Mr. Kevin, please drive.” Sunny helplessly rolls her eyes at the sky. He’s so childish.

“Buckle up. Let’s go.” Kevin deliberately steps on the gas ahead of time. Just as Sunny buckles her seat belt, he steps on the brakes evilly.

Sunny gets so scared that she cries out. ‘Kevin, this bastard!’

“Darling, are you alright?” Kevin sees that Sunny is so scared that she closes her eyes tightly. He steps on the brake and slows down. “It’s okay. Open your eyes.”

Hearing this, Sunny opens her eyes and pouches on his arm angrily. But Kevin just wants to tease her. When Sunny is about to hit him, he tenses up his muscles and Sunny’s hand almost bounce back.

“Kevin!”

Seeing that Sunny gets angry now, Kevin tries to divert her attention. “Honey, look. We’re at the market.”

Sunny thinks that he’s tricking her again, so she crosses her arms and says angrily, “No!”

...

“Honey, we’re really here. Just take a look.”

Sunny glances out of the car window and sees the market. She coughs and pretends to be serious. “Here we are. Get off the car.”

After buying some food, they find that they are not far from home. So they decide to walk home.

“Babe, it seems that we have never gone home together like this. We are always in the car. We have never gone back so leisurely.”

Kevin holds Sunny’s hand with the food in the other hand. Hearing this, he smiles and says, “If you like, I can go home with you like this every day.”

Sunny thinks about that for a moment, then she frowns. “That’s impossible. I guess you’ll be tired of it in a day or two.”

Hearing this, Kevin picks up her hand and kisses on it. Then, he says to her seriously, “As long as I’m with you, I won’t get tired of it.”

Sunny’s face flushes because of his actions. An old man holding a dog happens to pass by. She tries to divert Kevin’s attention. “Look at that dog. It’s so cute!”

The owner of the dog seems to hear her words. He raises his head and smiles at them. Then, he slowly leads the dog away.

Kevin also takes a close look at the dog and asks her, “Do you like it?”

Sunny is still thinking about that cute dog. When she hears his question, she unconsciously replies, “Yeah.”

Hearing this, Kevin smiles and says, “It’s good that you like it.”

Only then does Sunny regain her senses, “What did you just say?”

Just as Kevin is about to reply, he hears a man’s voice not far away. “You guys are finally back. I’ve been waiting for you for a damn long time.”

Sunny raises her head and finds that it’s Jonathan, who she hasn’t seen for a long time. “Jonathan?”

Jonathan is also very surprised at seeing Sunny. Looking at her up and down for a while, he concludes. “It looks like that Kevin has treated you well. You are getting plump.”

Hearing this, Sunny gets very embarrassed. Is he implying that she’s putting on weight?

However, Kevin hugs Sunny tight and says, “She’s still my pretty girl, and I can support her. Why are you here?”

Jonathan glances at him and says, “It takes me a few nights to figure out the medicine. It’s a traditional Chinese medicine. The effect may be slow and you have to take it for a long time. I think Sunny can keep an eye for you, right?”

Hearing this, Sunny nods seriously, “Yes. And you can tell me the precautions. I’ll write them down. Then I can brew the medicines for him every day.”

Kevin frowns as he looks at the bundles of Chinese herbs. “I’m fine now, and I haven’t had it recently, let alone anything bad...”

Jonathan says, “This is not up to you. Just trust me.”

Kevin raises his eyebrows and says, “Do you have that thing?”

...

Jonathan angrily pulls Sunny to the side. “You have to watch him carefully. Last time ... you know what I mean, right?”

Sunny tilts her head, “When I died?”

Jonathan coughs and says, “Don’t say that. Anyway, we found that Kevin has a hidden second personality that time.”

Sunny nods, “I knew. But it’s been a long time since his second personality came out. And it seems like he can control it, so I don’t pay much attention.”

Jonathan says, “When his second personality came out, he almost killed us. But he doesn’t know that at all. It seems that he suffered a great blow in his childhood.”

“Then does he need to see a doctor?”

“Not for now. I’ll give him a few medicines to help him feel better. I’ll decide whether to tell him or not based on the results.”

Sunny nods, “Are those medicines all here?”

Jonathan says, “Remember to divide them. I made a mark on the medicines to be taken in the morning, which are used to remove the poison. And there are medicines to be taken at night to improve his body.”

Sunny nods. “Got it.”

Kevin sees that their discussion is still not over, so he urges, “Are you done there?”

Sunny asks the last question, “Jonathan, what exactly are you doing?”

Jonathan blinks his eyes, “Secret.”

Sunny turns to Kevin with a slightly regretful expression. He can’t help but ask curiously, “What did he say to you?”
