A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 138

After finishing the talk on the phone, Kevin peeks into the private room. He thinks that his talk with Roger should not have affected the girls, so he pushes open the door and gets in.

“Who called you? It took you so long.”

“Nobody. Let’s enjoy the food. We’ll go somewhere after dinner.”

“Where are we going?”

“Dad, where are we going?”

“Be good. I’ll tell you after dinner.”

“Alright then.”

Sunny looks at Kevin in confusion for a long while. However, Kevin is thick-skinned and so calm. Helplessly, Sunny can’t find out anything.

“Hurry up. I’ll take you there after you finish eating.”

In order to know where they are going, Sunny and Macie devour and fill their stomachs. Then, the mother and daughter wipe their mouths in unison and say, “I’m done.”

...

Kevin is shocked and says helplessly, “I haven’t finished eating yet.”

As a result, Kevin can only gorge himself on the rest of food under the watchful eyes of Sunny and Macie. After paying the bill, Sunny and Macie immediately drag Kevin away.

“Are you in such a hurry to see your honey Roger?”

Kevin doesn’t have enough dinner. He is unhappy when he sees that Sunny is in a hurry to meet Roger.

However, Sunny is surprised. “You didn’t tell me that it is related to Roger, did you?” Sunny asks.

At this moment, Kevin wants to slap himself in the face.

“Cut the crap. Let’s go. Get in the car.”

Kevin’s face darkens. He starts the car and calls Roger, “Where are you? We’re coming to you.”

Roger glances at Michelle beside him and says, “I’m at Michelle’s brother’s house now. If you know the address, come over. Or I’ll pick you up at somewhere.”

Kevin says, “What do you think the navigation is for?”

After hanging up the phone, Kevin drives to Roger’s address without saying a word. Along the way, Sunny quietly looks at him for several times.

In the end, she really can’t hold back any longer. She carefully pokes Kevin and says, “Don’t be angry.”

Kevin is thinking the ways of fondling Sunny that she will beg for his mercy. He is frightened and chokes when he hears Sunny’s soft voice.

“Are you OK?”

Sunny hurriedly pats him on the back and helps him get his breath back. Only then he stops choking.

“I’m fine. Don’t be cutesy next time. I can’t stand it.”

Kevin can’t hold back his stern face any longer. Fortunately, Macie is in the car. Otherwise, he would have been aroused and slept with Sunny.

“Dad, are you alright? Godfather says that you will choke if you’re thinking something evil when driving.”

Macie sits on the child’s seat with her feet up. She gloats over her parents’ movement.

“I am fine.”

Kevin says slowly and clearly. He feels so embarrassed, especially when Sunny looks at him doubtfully after she hears what Macie said.

“We’re almost there. You guys should be ready to get off.”

Kevin tactfully changes the topic and comes back to today’s business.

“What exactly happened?”

Kevin glances at Macie in the rear-view mirror and says, “Macie, cover your ears.”

After confirming that Macie can’t hear him, Kevin tells Sunny the story briefly.

“Roger went to Jonathan’s house. He didn’t find anyone there, and then the house exploded.”

? ? ?

“How could it be?”

Sunny is shocked. “This is so... scary.”

She thinks for a long while and can’t find a suitable adjective. In the end, she can only use the ordinary word “scary”.

“Thank heavens. He is fine. Here we are. It seems that our house is not far away from here.”

Sunny looks out the window. When she turns around, she sees that Macie is still covering her ears sincerely. Sunny can’t help but laugh out loud.

“Kevin, look, our silly daughter is like you.”

Kevin looks back and smiles, “Yes, she is as lovely as me.”

...

Just as they are laughing, Roger comes out to pick up them and walks towards them.

“I didn’t expect that you arrived so soon. I thought it might be difficult for you to find here.”

“There’s navigation system, you fool,” says Kevin.

And then he says to the girls in the car, “You should get out of the car now.”

Sunny gets out of the car and then carries Macie, who is still covering her ears. She turns around and sees Roger.

“Hi, Roger. Long time no see.”

Roger nods and says, “Long time no see. Is this your daughter?”

“Yes. Macie, this is Uncle Roger.”

“Hello, Uncle Roger.”

Macie is infatuated with handsome men, and she can’t move her eyes when she sees a handsome guy, especially such a reserved and attractive man like Roger.

Kevin is unhappy. Doesn’t this little girl think her Dad is handsome enough?

Kevin finally parks his car. He thinks himself so kind as to park the car slowly to leave Roger and Sunny enough time for greeting.

“OK, let’s go.”

Kevin and Sunny walk side by side. As Sunny’s friend in her old neighborhood, Roger chats with Sunny.

“How are you doing?”

“I’m fine. Kevin and I... well, we got married. When things are settled, we will invite you to our wedding party.”

“Good,” Roger says indifferently. There is no sign of joy or anger on his face.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen to you and Michelle?”

Sunny immediately notices that something is wrong and directly asks.

“Michelle is pregnant. I’m afraid that these matters will get her down.”

Sunny suddenly understands. No wonder Roger is willing to deal with these matters. It is because of Michelle.

Sunny has been familiar with Roger’s personality since childhood. She shakes her head and sighs, “Men!”

“What’s wrong with men?”

Kevin asks softly.

Only then does Sunny realize that she said what she thought.

“I think that most of men are good people.”

However, she spits at herself secretly.

The two men are very narcissistic. They nod in agreement.

...

“Here we are. Michelle, Sunny is here, with her husband and daughter.”

Sunny sees a dim figure coming and opening the door slowly.

It is Michelle, who is a little fat because of her pregnancy.

“Michelle.” Sunny hasn’t seen Michelle for a long time, so she can’t hold back and hugs Michelle.

She hugs Michelle carefully, afraid of hurting the latter’s belly.

Michelle is also very excited. She says tearfully, “Sunny, I didn’t know that something happened to you before. I even asked you this afternoon if you were still working at HL Group. Roger told me your story. You had a hard time these past few years. Poor you, sunny.”

Sunny shakes her head and says, “I’m fine, Michelle. These experiences help me be a better person. Don’t you think I’m fine now?”

The two women are pouring their hearts out to each other, and the two men are standing outside the door embarrassedly.

The men look at each other and then pull the women, who are excited with tears, away.

“Take care of yourself. Isn’t Sunny fine? Why are you crying?”

“Don’t get excited. Or you’ll scare Michelle.”

Macie sucks her fingers, looks at the adults in front of her and feels strange. She thinks they act like a family crying for joy because of reunion after many years.

“It’s alright. Macie, come in. Don’t stand outside the door. There are tigers outside.”

Although Macie knows that Kevin is scaring her, she slowly walks in.

However, she can’t help but widen her eyes when she sees a little girl.

There is an adorable little girl sitting on the sofa.

“Hello, nice to meet you.”

This is the first time Macie has taken the initiative to talk with a stranger.

However, the “little girl” seems to be unhappy and goggles at Macie. Then, she turns around and plays with the puzzle alone.

Macie thinks, “It doesn’t matter if she ignores me.” She considers herself as a tough girl.

So she sits on the other side, face to face with the little girl.

“My name is Macie Ellen. You can call me Macie. What’s your name?”

...

The “little girl” once again turns to the other side.

The few adults finish talking about their past and pouring their hearts, so it is time for them to get down to business.

Sunny says seriously, “Actually, this matter also relates to me and Kevin. Even if you don’t ask us for help, we will find Jonathan. The problem is where to find him.”

Kevin snaps his fingers and says, “Leave it to me. I’ll go to the Exit-Entry Administration and check if he left the country. And I’ll ask my brother. We should be able to find him.”

Michelle has mixed feelings. She says, “I didn’t intend to bother you, but I’m pregnant with my second child. Look, my first child is sitting there being unhappy because of the baby in my belly.”

Sunny looks at the little girl and says, “Your daughter is so beautiful.”

After Sunny says sincerely, Michelle bursts in to laughter and says, “This is a little boy.”

...

Sunny can only embarrassedly change the topic, “Well, where were we?”

“Find Jonathan and ask him what he wants to do. He poisoned you and messed up HL Group.”

“I think the next one that will suffer is probably the Hawkins.”

“The Hawkins was in the troubles. Will they suffer again?”

Michelle says in disbelief, “I was shocked when I heard that their daughter was a fake.”

“Oh, poor Hawkins.”
