A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 135

“Why can’t you do it today?”

Kevin shrugs and replies, “Because I have to make an appointment for it?”

Sunny looks at him suspiciously, “Really?”

Kevin nods firmly. He would not tell her that he hurriedly comes down just because he sees someone hitting on her downstairs.

Sunny looks up at the tall building and understands everything.

“Then what are you going to do?”

Kevin turns around and finds that Robin is not here. “I want to stay with you, babe.”

Sunny helplessly reminds him, “Didn’t you say that you have to deal with some work at the company?”

So, Kevin could only say, “Then I’ll pick you up later. Shall we eat something now?”

Sunny pushes him angrily. “Go to work. Don’t ever think about it.”

Because Sunny drives him away, Kevin could only go back to the company with an injured expression.

Seeing that he finally leaves, Sunny heaves a sigh of relief.

However, Sunny wants to know about his illness. She looks at the building and thinks that it’s better for her to personally ask about it now.

So she goes back the same way. Thanks to her memories, she finds the office and knocks on the door.

“Come in.”

Sunny opens the door and greets the doctor who has lost his hair on the crown.

“Hello, Doctor. I’m Sunny from the obstetrics department. Did a patient named Kevin come to see you just now?”

The doctor straightens his glasses. “Yes.”

“He’s my husband. You know, men always have some weird self-esteem, so he refused to tell me the truth. That’s why I come to you.”

“It’s fine. I know you’re my colleague. Well, he should have been ill for more than ten years. But as he said, the second personality seldom shows up. So, I asks him to come tomorrow for a detailed examination.”

“Doctor, is it curable?”

“I can only say that this isn’t a disease. It’s mainly about whether the patient can walk out of the shadows that led to this disease. If he can get over it, then it’ll be easier for him to recover.”

Sunny thinks of Kevin, who has refused to communicate with her, and has a headache.

“I see. Thank you. I will remind him to come over tomorrow.”

The doctor nods. “Actually, the most important thing in curing mental illness is the patient’s will to cooperate with us.”

“Yeah, I know.”

After walking out of the office, Sunny becomes depressed. Because she doesn’t know how to open Kevin’s heart, nor does she know if she’s qualified to listen to him.

But something unexpected happens to her.

On the way to her office, a group of strange men stop her.

“Miss Sunny?”

Sunny looks at the sturdy men in front of her, feeling a little afraid.

“Who?”

The leader’s face twists when he hears it. Then he tries to rearrange his face. “Miss Sunny, we’re not bad people.”

After hearing that and seeing that they don’t do anything, Sunny keeps her courage up. “What do you want from me?”

“Old master has heard of you long ago. He wants to meet you.”

When Sunny hears “Old master”, she feels frozen. “Who?”

“You’ll know when you get there.”

Sunny has to follow them. After getting to a black car, they stop and say to her, “He’s here.”

Sunny looks at the car whose windows are all closed tightly. She swallows her saliva in fear.

Then she hears someone’s voice from inside the car. “Grandpa!”

Sunny is surprised. This voice sounds familiar.

However, before she could react, the car door is pulled open, and a man jumps out with anger. His voice is very familiar to Sunny.

“Kevin?”

Kevin gets surprised too when he hears Sunny’s voice. “Babe?”

Sunny says, “It’s really you. When I heard your voice, I thought I heard it wrong.”

“Why are you here?”

Kevin vigilantly looks at the group of burly men behind Sunny. “Who are they?”

“Well, that’s a long story. Didn’t you go to the company?”

Before Kevin could explain, they hear a voice from the car, “I asked them to take her over.”

Sunny glances at Kevin and says, “Your grandfather?”

The legendary Old master?

Kevin nods gloomily. “I don’t know how he knows I’m here. I was taken here when I walked to the garage.”

Seeing his expression, Sunny couldn’t help but laugh.

Then she suddenly remembers that Old master is sitting in the car. She quickly restrains her smile and asks seriously, “Why did you want to see me?”

Old master snorts inside, “It’s about my grandson Kevin. I heard that you’re married?”

Sunny glances at Kevin and says, “You told him?”

Kevin hurriedly shakes his head. “No, I didn’t do nothing!”

Old master says in the car, “Don’t stand there. Get in the car.”

A big black-clothed man opens the car door for them and invites them to get in.

However, Sunny gets a little scared.

“You are Sunny?”

Sunny sizes up Kevin’s grandfather Old master. His skin is well maintained, so he doesn’t have many wrinkles. And he looks very serious even if he’s expressionless.

“Yes.”

“How long have you been married to Kevin?”

“We just got married not long ago.”

“Grandpa!”

Kevin seems to know what he’s going to say. So, he tries to stop Old master when he hears it.

But Old master just ignores him, “So, it doesn’t matter if you get divorced now?”

...

Sunny is totally shocked. What is he talking about, divorce?

“Sorry, I won’t divorce Kevin.”

Sunny calmly rejects Old master’s suggestion, and it moves Kevin.

“You either like his face or his money. Other men also have these things.”

Hearing this, Sunny looks at Old master sarcastically, “Why do you look down on him? He’s more than that.”

The expression on Old master’s face does not change, and he drinks tea calmly.

“Kevin, you should be at ease after hearing it, right?”

After drinking some tea, Old master says to Kevin, who sits behind Sunny.

Sunny feels weird. “Why are you...?”

Then she understands. “Are you tricking me?”

“Alright, Grandpa, don’t make bad jokes on her. If you have anything to say, just tell her.”

Kevin couldn’t bear to watch this old naughty man fooling around with his wife. So, he could only say something to stop Old master.

“Ellison told me that you’ve fallen in love with a woman. Because of her, you don’t come back to see me. So, I want to see who she is. Now that I’ve seen her...”

Old master snorts, “She’s indeed very special. No wonder she attracts you so much.”

Now, Sunny understands why Old master comes to them. It’s probably he’s too lonely.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but look at Old master with sympathy.

“Hey, why are you looking at me like that?”

Old master sees through her thoughts, “Am I so fragile?”

Kevin couldn’t help laughing out loud, “Grandpa, it’s my fault. I promise to visit you more this year.”

“Don’t ever think about leaving. I know you have a daughter. Where is she?”

Sunny is surprised. She doesn’t expect that they would investigate her so carefully and know about her daughter.

“Well, you think that I’m old and foolish. But remember, I raised you up.”

Kevin scratches his head in shame. “Grandpa, you’re right. I’ll bring Macie over when I go back.”

“Macie. My cat has the same name with her. They can play together.”

Sunny knows that he’s being nice, so she hurriedly nods.

After saying that, Old master seems to be very tired. He leans against the seat and waves his hand. “Alright, you guys can go and do your things. I’m tired now. I have to rest for a while.”

So, Sunny and Kevin get off the car just like they were pulled into it for no reason back then.

“How is your grandfather now?”

After getting off the car, Sunny watches it leaving. She feels strange when she thinks of those burly bodyguards. So, she asks the question.

Kevin replies, “He’s in good health. He trained those men.”

“When is his birthday? Let’s prepare for it now. He has come over. We have to...”

Hearing this, Kevin suddenly touches her head.

“What are you doing?”

“I just feel that I’m so lucky to marry you. You’ve done a lot. Babe, you care so much about Grandpa. Will you care about me this much when I grow old?”

Sunny pushes away Kevin’s head, which is getting closer to hers. “Don’t ever think about it.”

They slowly walk away while talking with each other. So, neither of them notices that someone comes to the place where they were standing.

It’s Robin, who watches them leaving with a complicated expression.

On the halfway, Sunny’s phone rings and she takes it out. It’s Michelle, who has not contacted her long ago.

“Michelle?”

Sunny asks Kevin to shut up, then she picks up the phone. The next second, she hears Michelle’s panicked voice.

“Sunny, where are you now? Something happened to HL Group. You’re not there, are you?”
