A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 152

"No, it's fine. We are just having a rest. We are exhausted."

Sunny looks at her suspiciously and asks, "Really?"

Kelly nods. "Why would I lie to you about this? It's fine now."

"Okay. Then we are leaving. You guys, have a good rest."

Sunny glances at Kelly one last time and sees her smile. Sunny feels that something is wrong.

Kevin glances at Sunny and tugs her. "Let's go. Grandpa is looking for us."

Sunny turns around and happens to see Macie being held by someone in the arms. Macie notices Sunny and waves at her excitedly.

"Who is that?"

Sunny also waves at Macie and asks.

Kevin glances at the same direction and sees a man. "I don't know him. Why would Macie let him hug her?"

Sunny shakes her head and says, "I don't know what's going on with this little girl. Let's go and take a look."

As she speaks, she pulls Kevin over and walks towards that person.

"My parents are coming over."

Macie points at Kevin and Sunny, who are not far away, and smiles at the person holding her.

When the man sees Kevin, he narrows the eyes. Then, he puts down Macie and says, "Remember what I told you. Don't tell anyone about me."

Macie nods in confusion and asks, "Then how can I find you again?"

The man smiles. "Be good. I will come to you."

With that, he flees under the cover of the crowd.

By the time Kevin and Sunny walks to Macie, that person has disappeared.

Kevin looks at Macie wearing a frown. "Who were holding you just now?" asks he.

Macie sucks the lollipop in her hand and answers, "I have no idea."

As Macie's mother, Sunny can tell when she is lying, so she squats down and says, "Macie, while I am not angry, tell me the truth, otherwise...."

Macie is not afraid of anything, except when her mother is mad at her, so she falls silent biting her lollipop.

"Macie, I'll give you one minute."

Macie gets scared and blurts out, "Mom, I don't know him either. He gave me candy, so I let him hold me. Furthermore, he said that he was Dad's friend...."

When Kevin hears that, he feels Sunny's gaze on him, so he quickly prevaricates, "I don't know him, really."

Sunny frowns. "You two...."

Kevin feels his daughter is dragging him down with her, so he hastily swears with his four fingers, "I truly don't know that person, and it was a man, so don't think nonsense."

Hearing that, Sunny looks coldly at him and says, "I'm not."

Kevin can't explain this away, and he feels there is something wrong about Sunny today.

"Honey, let's get out of here with Macie. We will teach her a lesson. Grandpa is looking for us."

Sunny finally remembers what's important, so she asks, "Why is he asking for us?"

Kevin pouts at where the old man is.

"I don't know. But he is checking us out."

Sunny sighs and says, "Alright then, let's go over first, but...."

Sunny looks at Macie seriously and continues, "Don't take things from strangers, understand?"

Macie whispers, "He's not a stranger...."

Sunny is surprised and asks, "What did you say?"

Macie quickly shakes her head and replies, "Nothing. Let's go."

Kevin walks with Sunny to the old master's side holding Macie.

The old master smiles and takes Macie, showing off to his friends around the table, "Let me show you. This is my youngest grandson's daughter, Macie. Isn't she cute?"

Sunny looks at the old master who seems to be a different guy and is a little surprised. "Does he adore Macie so much?"

Kevin whispers, "He adores children in general."

Sunny nods.

The old master refuses to let go of Macie. Then, he turns around and sees that her parents are still standing here. He waves his hand impatiently and says, "Do what you are supposed to do. I don't need you there."

...

Sunny can only reply, "Then grandfather, we are leaving."

Thus, under the old master's disdainful gaze, they return to their seats and sit down dejectedly.

However, as soon as she sits down, Sunny notices something strange. Why is the little girl who wanted to buy Kevin is at this table?

"Kevin, let's sit somewhere else."

Sunny's face darkens, and she can even see the little girl's excitement from the corner of her eye.

However, Kevin is unaware of what's going on. "Why? Nothing happened."

"Are you leaving or not?"

Kevin comforts Sunny with his hand and says, "Baby, look around. There's no seat left."

...

Sunny does what she was told in despair when she finds that every other table is full.

"Forget it, then. We are not leaving."

She says unhappily, and then turns her head. She does not want to look at the girl sitting diagonally!

Kevin's mind is exploding as he wonders why she gets blue after sitting down.

"Darling, do you want some of this water shield porridge? This vegetable looks like a miniature version of the lotus leaf."

Sunny looks at where Kevin is pointing and sees that the girl is carefully scooping the porridge up holding her little bowl.

...

"Save it for yourself. I'm not hungry."

Kevin is somewhat enraged by her attitude. He fawned over her, but she is still being mean. "Why are you acting like this?"

He whispers, "This is my grandfather's birthday party."

Hearing that, Sunny gets furious for no reason. "So I'm not welcome anymore? Since that's the case, then I'll leave now!"

Kevin presses down Sunny, who is about to stand up and leave, and says, "Don't move."

Sunny is even more enraged and pinches his waist in a fit.

"It hurts."

He retracts his hand in pain. Looking at Sunny in disbelief, he stands up.

The little girl notices Kevin stand up and quickly asks, "Kevin, where are you going?"

Kevin ignores her. He looks at Sunny and says, "Somewhere I can relax."

Actually, after pinching him, Sunny regains her senses. The anger that has been burning in her chest is extinguished by his cold gaze.

She sits there and begins to reflect on what she has just done.

"What have I done? Why was I acting like that...?" she murmurs.

Apparently, she even feels she was not herself just now.

"What happened between you and Kevin?"

The little girl who wanted to buy Kevin says. For some reason, Sunny feels her eyes hurt when she sees this person.

So, she replies with hostility, "It has nothing to do with you."

Hearing that, the girl curls her lips in disdain and says, "Then don't be angry. Kevin has been spoiled by women since young. Perhaps you did something that upset him."

Sunny thinks to herself, 'I'm not angry yet. Why is he angry? And he has been spoiled by women?'

"Thank you for your kindness, but can you leave me alone now?"

Sunny is so annoyed by her.

Thus, the little girl eats on her own.

"Kevin, you just wait."

Sunny gnashes her teeth. She even thinks she pinched him too gently and should have done it with more force!

Kevin thinks he controlled himself well when he left in pain. In the old times, Sunny would be a corpse.

However, he can't lose his temper at her, nor can he blame her.

"It's sad."

He looks at the starry sky outside and sighs. What can he do now? He doesn't even know what she is angry about.

Unfortunately, he is not alone here.

Kevin believes he is in a secluded corner, but someone walks to him with a wine glass.

"Mr., Mr. Quinn, I've been looking for you for a long time. Your brother asked me to discuss things with you."

Kevin curses this stranger in his head.

"Mr. Quinn, I can't go on like this anymore. That's why I come to you asking for a chance...."

The man pleads with sorrow. Kevin pinches his eyebrows and says, "Go ahead."

"My, my name is Damien Bruce. I used to work for Gerry."

The name Gerry makes Kevin lose interest. "Shut up."

However, Damien ignores it and continues, "Mr. Quinn, I don't want to bother you. But Gerry is so wicked. He visited prostitutes and made me take the blame. That's not all. I was fired because he did it again. Only this time the mistake he made was enough to get him expelled from the board."

Kevin feels this is important, but he doesn't understand why Damien wants to talk to him about it.

"Mr. Quinn, I know you and Gerry are sworn enemies, so I would like to ask you to avenge me...."

Kevin glances at the snot on Damien's face with disgust. "Am I idling around? Why would I help you?"

Damien stops crying when he hears this. "Because I have evidence of what happened back then. They didn't expect that I, a lowly clerk, would keep the evidence. So...."
