A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 132

Sunny notices that Kevin has remembered something, and his eyes darken in shade.

“What happened? Did you have anything fun when you were a child? The happiest thing I had experienced when I was a child was going to the amusement park.”

Kevin once again hears the voices that has been echoing in his ears for years, as well as the last words his mother said to him. “Kevin, you must live well.”

“Kevin, are you alright?” Sunny sees that Kevin goes silent after she mentions her childhood, so she gets a little worried and asks tentatively.

Kevin regains his senses and gets out of the memories. “I’m fine, let’s have dinner.”

“Really? You look pale...”

Kevin waves his hand and says, “I just recalled some unpleasant memories. I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

Macie senses something and picks up some meat for Kevin. “Dad, take it. It’s cooked by mum and very delicious. I can share one piece with you.”

Only then does Kevin smile. “You’re so sweet.”

Now that Kevin seems fine, Sunny heaves a sigh of relief and decides that she would never ask about this again.

At night, Kevin tosses and turns in bed, awakening Sunny who was sleeping at the side. She finds that Kevin seems to have a nightmare. He keeps shouting, “Don’t leave. Don’t leave me.”

“Kevin, wake up...” Sunny quickly wakes him up from the nightmare.

Kevin is still caught in his dream. He gasps heavily and stares blankly at the ceiling.

“Are you alright? Did you have a nightmare?” Sunny lowers her head and asks with concern. But Kevin suddenly hugs her. “Don’t leave me.”

Sunny is shocked. However, considering that Kevin must be taken good care of at this time, she stays still and says, “I won’t leave. Don’t worry.”

“Really?”

Sunny pats Kevin lightly to comfort him while replying, “Yes, I won’t leave you.”

Only then does Kevin close his eyes and hug Sunny tighter. He nuzzles her neck and takes a deep breath of her familiar smell. “Alright.”

“Then let’s sleep. You can cuddle me, and you won’t have nightmares.”

Kevin says, “Don’t you want to know what nightmares I had?”

Sunny asks as he wishes, “What nightmare did you have?”

“That was a long time ago. It was so long ago that I thought I’ve forgotten it.”

Sunny listens silently, while combing Kevin’s hair with her hand.

“It wasn’t until we talked about our childhood today that I realized it. I did not forget those things and I can never forget them.”

“I thought I could be a willful child forever. But one day, I found that Ellison was not my real brother. And my parents had died in an accident.”

Hearing this, Sunny wants to take her hand back. She shouldn’t have asked it. Now it’s like she is bringing up his sore spot on purpose.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Kevin senses her emotions in the darkness, so he tries to comfort her.

“Before they ran into the accident, I was a real hooligan. I never did anything good. I just made troubles all the time.”

“I would change the scores on Ellison’s report card, from 99 to 66 points. And then I would listen to my father teaching him a lesson. I would also hide my mother’s makeup so that she had to meet others without makeup.”

Hearing Kevin’s words, Sunny can imagine a naughty boy making trouble in front of her.

“You must be very cute at that time.”

“So, babe.” Kevin finally says what he’s thinking about. “Let’s have one more kid. Today, Macie also says that she wants a brother.”

...

Sunny does not know that he’s thinking about this. They are talking about his tragic past at the beginning, but why does he talk about the baby now?

“How is it, honey? Can you agree with me?”

Sunny pretends to think about it for a while. But she can’t refuse Kevin when he acts coquettishly. So, she can only vaguely say, “Let’s talk about it later.”

However, Kevin does not give her the chance. He turns around and presses her under his body. He says in a hoarse voice, “Babe, let’s discuss it tonight.”

...

When she wakes up the next day, Sunny scolds Kevin, “Do you want a child? And you want a son? You two plan it so well, because it’s not you to give birth!”

Kevin begs for mercy in bed, “Babe, don’t you think it’s good to have one more child?”

Sunny glances at him. “Why don’t you try it?”

Hearing this, Kevin says seriously, “Babe, are you afraid?”

Sunny sighs, “It was very dangerous when I gave birth to Macie. So, of course I’m scared. I almost lost her at that time.”

Kevin hugs Sunny in distress and says, “Alright, let’s talk about this later. I won’t force you anymore.”

Sunny nods, closes her eyes and nuzzles his neck, “Thank you, Kevin.”

“Then why don’t you call me babe?”

“Never think about it. Get up. It’s time to have your medicine.”

Kevin feels strange and asks, “Why are there still medicine? When did you cook it?”

“I forgot. I set an alarm clock and got up. I don’t know what time it was.”

Kevin looks at Sunny who is tired because of the sex last night. She gets up early in the morning to brew the medicine. He simply doesn’t what to say, “Babe, I’m so touched.”

Sunny smiles exceptionally brilliantly, “Really?”

Kevin nods in confusion, “Yes.”

“Then drink the medicine now. If you make trouble for me again, I won’t let you go.”

Why he feels that his wife has tricked him? What’s going on?

After drinking the medicine and finishing breakfast, Sunny says, “Kevin, can you send Macie to school today? I have something to do. Then I have to go to the hospital.”

Kevin says, “Can’t you quit your job at the hospital? It’s not like I can’t support you.”

Sunny shakes her head and says, “When you break up with me, Macie and I would have nothing left if I don’t save money now.”

“Why do you keep thinking that I’ll break up with you?”

Sunny glances at him. “Didn’t you do that before?”

Kevin awkwardly coughs. “I was young and ignorant. Now I’m good.”

Macie interrupts them, “Dad is not good?”

Sunny touches her head. “Anyway, don’t be like your father.”

Kevin feels wronged. “What’s wrong with me?”

After sending them out, Sunny takes out her phone and calls Ellison, “Ellison, are you busy now? I have something to ask you.”

Ellison says, “Just say it.”

Sunny says, “Jonathan came to find me and said that Kevin has a second personality. I want to know if he experienced anything when he was young.”

Ellison remains silent for a while. “Is he with you now?”

“No, he was sending Macie to school.”

“When he was young, he suffered a lot because of his parents. So, don’t ask him about this. If you want to know anything, you can come to me.”

Sunny obediently says, “When do you have time to meet and talk about it?”

“This afternoon.”

“Alright, can we meet at the coffee shop near the hospital?”

After making an appointment with Ellison, Sunny calls Jonathan again. “Jonathan, I forced him to have the medicine this morning. Are there any other matters I have to pay attention to?”

Jonathan says, “Make him go to bed and get up early. He should start to develop a regimen.”

...

At this time, Troy living at next door knocks on the door. “Sunny, are you there?”

Sunny could only hang up the phone and open the door. “What’s wrong?”

Troy says, “Kevin called me early in the morning to complain about how terrible that medicine tastes. I hear that Jonathan gave the medicines to you. Let me examine them.”

“Do you suspect that Jonathan did something to the medicines?”

Troy pauses before saying, “It’s better to be careful. Kevin is my only friend.”

Sunny understands after thinking for a moment. “I’ll go get the medicines for you. Oh right, do you know why Kevin has a second personality?”

Hearing this, Troy is surprised. “Second personality? You already know it?”

Sunny nods and says, “I knew it a long time ago.”

Troy sits down to check the ingredients of the medicine and explains, “This is a very long story. Do you have anything to do now? If not, I’ll tell you this slowly.”

“I have to go to work. I also have an appointment with Ellison. I wanted to ask him about that.”

Troy casually waves his hands. “Then I’ll go with you. I also have something to ask him.”

“OK. Now you check the medicines. I’ll wait for you to finish before I go to work.”

“Are you OK with the work at the hospital?”

“I’ll call someone and ask him to take my shift for a while.”

After calling her colleague, Sunny concentrates on looking at Troy’s examination.

“How is it? Is there a problem?”

“No, but...”

“What?”

“What is the use of this medicine that says night?”

Sunny says, “This is used to treat his second personality.”

“No, don’t give him this. It’s harmful.”

“Really?”

“It’ll keep him dispirited for a long time. So, he cannot take it.”

“Jonathan...”

“Be careful of him. Anyway, don’t let Kevin have it anymore. I’ll go back, talk to Baron and investigate Jonathan.”

As he speaks, the hair on Sunny’s body is about to stand up. “Alright, I know.”

After Troy leaves, Sunny calls Kevin and says, “Kevin, where are you now?”

Kevin just sends Macie to kindergarten. “What’s wrong? I’m on my way to the company.”
