A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 167

Jasper knows she asks him to stay to make love with her, but today, he was not in the mood.

"Are you reluctant to do it?"

The woman, who wears delicate makeup, raises Jasper's chin and leans closer to him. "If you don't want to, I won't force you."

Jasper stubbornly stares at the ground without saying anything.

The woman looks at his young face in a daze. Just as she is about to say something, Jasper suddenly pushes her to the ground.

'I know why you ask me to stay. But I'm like a moth darting into the fire. I know I'll get burned, but I can't help but get closer. Miranda....'

The woman called Miranda is shocked. After a few moments, she regains her senses and wraps her arms around Jasper's neck with a chuckle.

"If you finish up, clean away the dishes."

After dinner, Troy picks his teeth with a toothpick while looking at Baron, signaling him to clear the mess.

Baron looks at Troy coldly and says, "This is the second time."

Troy does not understand until he sees Baron shifts his eyes from the zipper on his coat down.

"Holy shit!" Troy jumps up and rolls up his sleeves. "You are younger than me. But believe me, I will hit you."

Baron puts away the dishes on the table and says, "You are not my match."

After that, he enters the kitchen under Troy's stunned gaze.

"Look at Baron..."

Troy cannot believe it and tries to save his face in front of Kevin and Sunny. "Has he run too wildly?"

Kevin snuggles up to Sunny in his arms with an obvious smug smile.

"No. You are really not his match. This is a fact. Don't you know?"

Troy touches his head dejectedly. "Even so, he shouldn't be so straightforward. It embarrasses me."

Kevin doesn't bother to reply.

Troy is thick-skinned enough to cope with Baron's taunts.

However, Sunny is quite sweet. "Calm down. I didn't hear what Baron said just now."

Troy's small eyes lights up.

Baron happens to come out of the kitchen. Hearing Sunny's words, he says with a gloomy face, "Do you need me to repeat?"

...

Troy feels that Baron is always against him.

"Go wash the dishes. I'll tidy up the things for them. Are there any Macie's clothes here?"

Sunny nods, "Yes, wait a moment. Kevin, open the door."

For some reason, when Kevin is asked for by name, he thinks he and Baron are alike, especially when Baron pats him on the shoulder before he walks towards the door.

Kevin has to follow Sunny's order with a sigh.

Then Sunny goes to sort out Macie's clothes, and Troy follows behind her.

"You guys said you wanted to have a second child. Haven't you made any progress?"

Hearing this, Sunny subconsciously looks at Kevin, who is in front of her, and replies softly, "I don't know either, but...."

Just as Sunny is about to say that she has menoxenia, she suddenly remembers that Troy is a man.

"Don't worry. I have learnt some medical skills from you. I know clearly that I'm fine."

Troy nods. "That's the best."

Kevin has already opened the door. When he hears them chat, he turns back and asks, "What are you talking about?"

Sunny and Troy glance at Kevin, and then shut up in unison.

Kevin keeps regarding them suspiciously. Having found nothing abnormal, he decides to let it go.

"I'll go fetch things. Are you going to wait here or go with me?"

Just as Troy is about to sneak in, Kevin grabs the back of his neck and returns, "We'll wait for you outside."

Troy is caught by Kevin, so he hangs his head in fear.

"What are you guys talking about? Tell me about it."

The moment Troy tries to fool Kevin that he and Sunny talks about nothing serious, he hear Kevin say, "Troy, we've known each other for twenty years, haven't we?"

Troy closes his eyes, knowing that he has to be honest with Kevin. "We are talking about the child."

The answer surprises Kevin, who remains silence for quite a while.

"What's going on?"

"I know Sunny haven't told you about it, right?" Troy sighs.

Kevin doesn't know why he is a little anxious. "What's it? Quickly tell me."

"Sunny gave birth to Macie under a poor condition. Meanwhile her arms and legs were broken at that time, so she suffered some chronic disease. Sunny should cure them after she came back, but she didn't care. I heard that you guys planned to have a second child, so I asked her."

Kevin doesn't say anything except an affirmative word. Troy turns around, finding Kevin is staring at the ground while pondering over something.

"Don't worry. She'll be fine."

Although Troy says so, Troy is not very confident. If possible, he wants Sunny to go to the hospital.

Thus, Troy says to Kevin, "You'd better take her to the hospital. After all, only in this way can we feel relieved."

Kevin asks with a frown, "What if we don't want another baby?"

Troy shakes his head. "It's irrelevant. You know, gynecopathy can be very strange sometimes...."

Troy doesn't make it definite, but Kevin understands.

Kevin nods. "I'll bring her over tomorrow."

In the middle of the talk, Sunny has already come out with a pile of clothes. "What are you talking about?"

When Kevin and Troy see Sunny, they separate, and even keep a certain distance away from each other.

Sunny thinks to herself. 'If you two like each other, just tell me. I don't care.'

"What on earth are you up to? You're being so mysterious." Sunny curls her lips, suggesting that she is not curious at all.

"Nothing, it's just a private conversation between men."

Kevin coughs and pushes Troy. "Am I right? Sunny is waiting for your answer."

Troy hurriedly replies, "Yeah. I was gossiping men, while he talked about woman."

Sunny frowns. "Forget it."

After that, she hands the clothes to Troy. "These are Macie's clothes. I'll just give you the key. If the temperature drops, you can get her some coats."

Troy nods as he listens.

"There is no need for me to tell you more. You know what else Macie needs to pay attention to."

Troy nods. "Don't worry. Go back."

Sunny feels it sounds strange.

Then she and Kevin say goodbye to Troy.

"Alright, goodbye."

Troy and Kevin exchange glances. Kevin signals that he understands.

When they walk to the elevator, Kevin asks Sunny, "Do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

Sunny shakes her head. "I have asked for a leave. There is nothing to do for the time being."

Kevin heaves a sigh of relief. "I want to go to the hospital for an examination tomorrow. If you are available, why don't you go with me?"

Sunny returns, "Is this what you were talking about with Troy just now?"

Kevin has to answer in the affirmative.

"Alright, I'll go you with you. But why do you want to go to the hospital for a medical examination?"

Kevin makes an excuse. "I got poisoned before. I think I need to see a doctor."

Sunny thinks it sounds reasonable, so she happily agrees to go with Kevin tomorrow.

After sex, noticing that Sunny has fallen asleep, Kevin secretly sends Troy a text message. "Which department should I take her to?"

Troy, who is about to go to sleep, laughs after reading this text message.

"Gynecology, understand? It's the department where your wife works."

After reading the text message, Kevin is worried. In view of his excuse, how can he deceive Sunny into going there?

However, Troy is much smarter. Not long after, he sends another message. "The psychiatry department and the gynecology department are on the same floor."

...

When Kevin wakes up the next day, he wonders if he should pretend to be mentally ill.

But very quickly, he sees Sunny wrinkle her face. "What's wrong?"

Sunny answers with a worried expression, "It has been late for weeks...."

Although Sunny doesn't explain what it is exactly, Kevin quickly understands.

"Let's go. You should also go to see a doctor."

Thus, he takes Sunny to the hospital and saves the trouble of pretending to be mentally ill.

"Doctor, am I alright?"

Although Sunny is also a doctor, she never treats herself. Thus, looking at her colleague who is frowning, Sunny is worried.

"How long has it been delayed?"

Sunny calculates the time. "Last time, it was the 15th. The one before last was the 13th. It's the end of the month, but I have not had a period."

When the colleague hears this, she falls into deep thought. "Take a B-ultrasound scan."

What?

Thus, with a note given by the doctor, Sunny, who looks gloomy, walks to the door and says to Kevin. "The doctor asked me to take a B-ultrasound scan."

Kevin is exceptionally attentive today. "I'll go and prepare whatever needs," he says.

...

"Don't bother. Just go there directly. I didn't have breakfast in the morning anyway."

Then Sunny walks towards the B-ultrasound room. "Kevin, can it be that I am pregnant?"
