A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 145

“Honey, don’t you remember what we said? We’re going to have a baby...”

Only then does Sunny understand why Kevin is so anxious, “Is this what you’re anxious about?”

Kevin asks curiously, “Otherwise, what do you think it is?”

Sunny has thought Kevin is in a hurry to bath today. But she does not expect that the reason will be this.

“I see. Wait for a moment. I’ll be done soon.”

After vaguely saying that with a toothbrush in her mouth, Sunny pushes Kevin away. She doesn’t know if it is his heat period. Recently, she feels that Kevin is a little clingy.

Just after Sunny brushes her teeth, Kevin starts to urge her again in the room. “Honey, are you alright?”

Sunny can only quickly wash her face, and then comes into the room. “Why are you in such a hurry? It’s not that I won’t come.”

Kevin impatiently presses Sunny under him, “Let’s enjoy this night.”

...

After sex, Sunny is about to go to the bathroom to take a bath with her tired body. But Kevin picks her up. “You are so impatient. I’ll take you to take a bath.”

Sunny struggles once but does not break free. So, she can only let Kevin carry her to the bathroom.

“I’ll bath myself. You go to see if Macie is asleep.”

Kevin originally wants to refuse. But when he thinks of his daughter’s strange hobbies recently, he is determined to pull her back from the wrong path.

Thus, under Sunny’s insistence, Kevin can only pretend to be wronged and go to Macie’s room, “Darling, what are you doing? Are you still not sleeping?”

The gift Macie has prepared for her ‘Little Sister’ is almost ready. So, when Kevin comes in, she patiently replies, “I’m going to sleep.”

Kevin sits down beside her and says, “This is your gift? What is this?”

To be honest, judging from the appearance, Kevin is really limited by his poor imagination and can’t recognize what this is at all.

Macie looks at him with contempt. “Daddy is so stupid. This is Barbie doll!”

...

Looking at the strange-looking Barbie doll in front of him, Kevin swallows, “Darling, if you really need, Dad can take you to buy one tomorrow.”

However, Macie refuses, “Mom said that gift to others must be sincere. Otherwise, it would be better not to send it.”

This is the first time Kevin can say nothing more by a child’s retort.

“Alright. Daddy will see you sleep. Loosen your hair and change into your pajamas.”

Macie puts away the Barbie doll she has made before listening to Kevin.

“Dad will tell you a bedtime story you favorite.”

Macie wants to say that she has grown up and doesn’t listen to the story anymore. But Kevin seems to want to try it. So, she can only agree.

“Alright. Dad, I want to hear the story of the mermaid.”

...

“How about dad tell you a story about Peppa Pig?”

Macie’s eyes widen as she looks at Kevin, “What is that?”

“In the distant sea, there lived a little mermaid...”

In Kevin’s low and charming voice, Macie slowly falls asleep. She suddenly realizes that it is also a good thing to have a father tell her a bedtime story.

Seeing that Macie falls asleep, Kevin firmly believes that his efforts are useful. So, he secretly makes up his mind to tell her stories every day in the future, trying to let her pay no attention to the idol dramas.

After taking a shower, Sunny finds Kevin sitting on the bed, wearing glasses and seriously studying “Children’s Readings.”

“Is Macie asleep?”

Kevin nods, “Yes.”

“Then go take a bath and go to bed early. I have to get the morning shift these few days. You may have tiring days recently.”

Kevin shakes his head, “It’s fine. I have more time to get along with my daughter. How can it be hard?”

Sunny seems to have seen an alien, “Are you alright?”

Kevin asks strangely, “What’s wrong with me?”

“... No.”

Sunny thinks to herself, “I almost think you are possessed.”

“Alright. Hurry to take a shower and go to bed early.”

Sunny weakly waves, “I don’t have anything else to say. That’s it for now.”

Kevin happily goes to take a bath. If he has a tail, Sunny can definitely see the wagging tail behind him.

“I don’t know why you’re so happy.”

Sunny shakes her head helplessly while applying skin care products.

After Kevin finishes bathing, he comes back to find that Sunny has already fallen asleep. She casually covers her body with the quilt and exposes her legs.

... Kevin covers Sunny’s quilt and confirms that she is sleeping peacefully. Then, he turns off the light and goes to sleep.

When she wakes up the next day, Sunny finds that Kevin’s leg is pressing down on her body.

“Hey, wake up. You’re pressing me. I’m going to get up.”

Kevin is dreaming when he suddenly feels that he is pushed down the cliff and rolls down the mountain. Then, he wakes up.

He stares hazily at Sunny, who is very close to him, “Honey, good morning.”

Sunny glares at him, “You also know it’s early. Hurry to lift your leg first.”

Only then does Kevin realize that his leg is pressing on Sunny’s stomach. So, he quickly puts his leg away.

“Darling, sorry.”

Kevin hurriedly retracts his leg, and then looks at Sunny embarrassedly.

After a few giggles, Kevin stops laughing and gets up, “Honey, I’ll get up and make breakfast for you.”

Only then does Sunny get up. At this moment, Kevin’s phone suddenly rings. Seeing that the caller ID isn’t showed, Sunny hesitantly answers it.

“Hello?”

When Lewis hears a woman’s voice on the other end of the phone, he hesitates and says, “Is Mr. Kevin here?”

Sunny recognize his voice, “Lewis, what’s the matter?”

When Lewis hears that it is Sunny, he is relieved, “Miss Sunny, please give Mr. Kevin a message for me. It is time to wind up now.”

...

Sunny is dumbfounded but replies, “Alright, I will.”

At this moment, Kevin walks in and says, “Honey, breakfast is almost ready. Do you want to eat now?”

Sunny doesn’t put down the phone in her hand. She sits on the bed and looks at Kevin. “I just received a call from Lewis. He told me to tell you that it was time to wind up now.”

Kevin doesn’t care and casually replies, “I see. It’s fine.”

Sunny asks curiously, “What’s the matter? What does he mean by winding up?”

“Are you sure you want to know this now? Watch the clock yourself?”

Sunny subconsciously watches the clock on the wall and realizes that it is almost time.

“It’s fine. I’ll tell you when you come back tonight.”

Kevin comforts her when he sees that she is in dilemma.

“OK. Then, I’ll go to work first.”

After quickly eating the love breakfast made by Kevin on the table, Sunny finally takes a piece of bread and goes out.

“Honey, be careful.”

After Sunny goes out, Kevin wakes up his daughter.

“Macie, it is time to get up. What are you wearing today? A long skirt or a short skirt?”

Macie looks at the skirt in Kevin’s hand with disgust, “No.”

Kevin says in frustration, “Then what do you want to wear?”

Macie jumps out of bed and chooses a pair of jeans.

...

“Hurry to wash up and go to school early. Dad has something to do later.”

Macie bites the bread and asks, “Dad, what do you have to do? Can I help you?”

...

“Don’t you want to go to school?”

Macie bites the bread and grins.

“No. Your mother will pick you up today. Don’t even think about it.”

Hearing that Sunny will pick her up from class, Macie looks down dejectedly, “Alright. Dad, let’s go to school.”

After Kevin sends Macie to school, he directly turns around and goes to Snail Shell.

When he arrives at the entrance of the company, Lewis has already been waiting here. When Lewis sees Kevin’s car, he comes to greet him, “Mr. Kevin, you are here. Shall we go directly?”

Kevin gets into Lewis’s car and says, “Yes.”

Today, Warner Company will hold a board meeting. Recently, the company’s share price has fallen sharply. All the shareholders are sitting there uneasily, and Lora is the most agitated.

“Let’s start the shareholders’ meeting now. Is everyone here?”

As Lora’s secretary is about to say yes, the door is pushed open. The people who come in are Kevin and Lewis.

Lora has always thought that Kevin just is the president of Snail Shell. But she feels extremely uneasy when Lewis appears here.

“Now, it can be said that everyone is here.”

Lewis stands behind Kevin, who is standing in the position of chairman and looking at Lora.

Lora, on the other hand, is confused by the series of accidents in front of him.

“Who are you? We are in a meeting here. Where are the security guards?”

Kevin signals Lora to calm down, and then clears his throat. Lewis pulls the chair out belonging to the chairman for Kevin on his own initiative.

“I’m here today to tell you two things. Firstly, Warner Company has been officially bought by us. Everyone here knows me, right?”

When the directors see Kevin enter, they have a presentiment. Only when he speaks, do they realize that the situation is not going well.

The president of the Hotan Group has bought Warner Company.

“The second thing is about your general manager, or president? What’s your name?”

Kevin turns to Lora and asks sincerely, “What’s your name?”

“Lora.”
