A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 171

Sunny notices that his expression is not faking, so she doesn’t ask anymore. She simply retells what that person told her.

“She said she knows me?”

Kevin soon captures the key point and confirms it with Sunny again.

Sunny nods, “That’s what she said, and…”

“What else did she say?”

“She also said that if I ask you directly, you would definitely say you don’t know her.”

…

Kevin doesn’t where this person comes from, calculating everything so perfectly. She knew that Sunny will say exactly like this. Even if Sunny asks him, but in the end the answer she gets will absolutely be “I don’t know”.

“I really don’t know her.”

Kevin looks into Sunny’s eyes seriously and assures one more time, “If I know anything, I will definitely tell you.”

Sunny looks at his eyes and nods, “Okay.”

“Alright, let’s eat. The food is getting cold.” Kevin picks some snacks from the table into Sunny’s bowl and says, “You gotta to eat the food your husband gives you.”

Sunny holds up the duck head, “This is delicious. You have a try.”

…

Because the place they eat is next to Sunny’s university, Sunny walks in the campus with Kevin by the way after supper.

“It’s so nice to live an unconstraint life like this…”

Sunny sees the couples pass by and the students who walk fast towards classes with books in their arms. She stretches herself slowly.

She doesn’t know what date it is, as there are many people who are giving out leaflets.

“Hi, how are you doing… This is the flyer for the top ten singers. You can come and have a look. If you are interested, you can come with your boyfriend…”

A pile of flyers is put into Sunny’s hand while she’s walking, which made her feel funny and annoying. However, Kevin, with a darkened expression, throws the flyers into the trash can silently.

His expression is darkened ever since he comes back from the trash can, “What’s wrong?”

Without saying a word, Kevin holds Sunny and protects her in his arms, “Be careful, there are many people around here.”

Sunny is surprised for a bit, and soon a smile is put on her face, “Sure!”

Since there are many students here, it’s very crowded and nothing interesting to play with. Hence, Sunny grabs Kevin’s hand and pulls her to the sports field.

“Here is more interesting. Less people and only people who come to run… Ouch…”

As she speaks, a person with headphones passes by and almost knocks her to the ground.

Luckily, Kevin reacts fast and holds her in time. Then Sunny successfully witnesses Kevin’s even gloomier expression.

…

“Stay here and wait for me.” He orders, and then he strides forward to grab the person’s collar from behind.

“Apologize.”

The person who just ran by is also infuriated as he was grabbed from behind and asked to apologize, “What’s wrong with you?”

Kevin frowned and doesn’t say a word, simply repeating the same words, “Apologize.”

Sunny notices that people around begin to come closer, so she hurriedly tries to stop him, “Kevin, forget it. I am fine.”

Kevin points at Sunny and says, “She’s pregnant. Have you thought of your careless action might knock her down? Why do you have to run at such a small place while the sports field is so large?”

The student remains silent when he hears that Sunny is pregnant. He touches his nose nervously and says in a low voice, “Sorry.”

Kevin is not unreasonable. He lets go of that student’s collar after the apology and asks the latter to leave.

The student glances at Kevin and apologizes to Sunny with a nod. After that, he turns around and runs away.

Sunny pats Kevin’s head, “Calm down. It’s nothing.”

Kevin faces Sunny and says something quietly, which Sunny fails to hear clearly, “What did you say?”

“I said, you should stay in bed instead of going around.”

As Sunny hears his words, she thinks he is indeed going to do that, so she steps forward and hugs him, “Let’s go, let’s go. I am totally fine. Why don’t we walk a bit more?”

Without Macie’s accompany, the two are obviously less constrained. After visiting the campus for half a day, Sunny massages her belly and says she’s hungry.

Kevin looks at Sunny’s belly and says as though he’s thinking, “My child can eat so much?”

Sunny is amused by his words.

“So, dear, what do you want to eat?”

“Didn’t you want to cook? And didn’t we just buy the ingredients? Why don’t we go back and eat the food you make.”

Kevin frowns and says, “You wanna eat the food I make so early? I am afraid that you will starve later…”

Sunny doesn’t care about this, “I also bought lots of snacks. They are for the situation in which you can’t make edible food so that I won’t starve.”

…

Kevin doesn’t whether he should praise his wife or exclaim.

“Well, then let’s go. You want me to hold you?”

Kevin lowers his head and faces Sunny. It’s really a smart decision for him to change a pair of slippers for her.

“It’s not nice to do that here. Why don’t you hold me up while we go back home?”

Kevin accepts that happily, “Sure. At that time, don’t run away in hurry and don’t be shy.”

Sunny squeezes her nose and replies, “Why do I feel like those aren’t some nice words…”

Kevin blinks at her and smiles.

Since the two look like students very much, so on their way back, they receive many flyers again. They even encounter situation like this, “Hey, we are from the Japanese Manga Club. Are you interested in being our actress?”

Or something like this, “Hey, our Drama Club still needs a protagonist, you wanna do it?”

…

Sunny feels like that the university is becoming a joyhouse. She hurriedly runs away with Kevin, who reminds from behind, “You are pregnant. Walk slower!”

After the pregnant Ms. Ellen escapes the crowd, she sighs in relief, “That almost triggers my trypophobia.”

…

“Your trypophobia happens selectively?”

“Yeah.”

Ms. Ellen walks tall, “Normally, when it’s crowed, I will be disgusted. I am better when there are less people.”

Kevin keeps laughing out loud beside.

“I wanna eat some fresh vegetables tonight. Have we bought any?”

Kevin nods, “Yeah. If you wanna anything else, we will go buy some.”

Sunny becomes hungry for food, “I want the green beans fried with the yellow beans.”

Kevin almost fell down when he hears this, “What the hack is that?”

“…” Sunny looks at Kevin with disdain.

“The yellow beans are the corn kernel and the green beans are the pea.” She holds her nose and explains in a low, muffled voice.

“It’s better to add some sausage grains. I can eat a lot of that.”

Kevin looks at Sunny and doesn’t even pay attention to the road. He thinks the way Sunny appears now is especially adorable. He is not satisfied no matter how much longer he watches her.

“Why you look at me? Look at the road!”

Unexpectedly, the Ms. Ellen, who is considered to be cute, realizes that Mr. Quinn is peeking her and she straightens her eyebrows, “I am pregnant and I cherish my life!”

So Mr. Quinn can only look back at the road for Ms. Ellen who cherishes her life.

“Anything else you wanna eat?”

Ms. Ellen thinks for a while, “Then a bowl of cabbage.”

Kevin looks at Sunny who asks for dishes that are so simple. He sighs, “Dear, you can have a higher pursuit.”

Sunny looks at him as if she’s considering what he means. Then she claps, “I want to eat lobster!”

Kevin almost spits out the water in his mouth, “Lobster?”

“Yeah, the ones that are cooked in a soup.”

Kevin nods, “Then let’s go. We will go to the supermarket for the lobsters first.”

Sunny looks at him in disdain again, “Do you even know where the closest supermarket is?”

…

There are some secrets that can’t be exposed explicitly.

“Let’s go, let’s go. We will ask when we get there.” Kevin waves his hand and steps on the pedal as the traffic light turns green.

“Damn!” Sunny couldn’t help holding the seat belt tightly as though it’s the only that makes her feel safe.

“Dear, we are here.”

Before Sunny recovers, Kevin already steps on the brake with a smile. He asks her to look outside the window as if he’s eager for compliment.

“Hey, it’s indeed the supermarket.” Sunny is also happy as she sees the golden words.

“You are amazing.”

With that, she pats Mr. Quinn’s head.

And Kevin smiles contently just like he gets the reward.

“Are you coming? Or we are going together?”

Kevin thinks of the dirtiness and messiness in the supermarket, so he asks Sunny to stay in the car, “If anyone comes to you, don’t open the door. Ask him to find me.”

Sunny nods, “Okay. Don’t worry about me.”

…

Kevin’s look reveals a trace of hidden bitterness for some reasons, but Sunny doesn’t realize that and still waves her hand at Kevin, “I am waiting for you here.”

So Kevin can only walk into the supermarket with a lowered head.

After he goes in, he stride directly to his destination— the place for seafood.

“Hi, do you have the giant lobsters?”

The youngster who sells seafood has a black leather apron on his waist. When he hears Kevin’s words, he asks, “How big?”

…

“As big as it can be. Give me two.”

The young man realizes that Kevin is a heavy buyer, so he turns around and walks into a small house behind him.

Not after long, he returns with several rattling big lobsters, “Take a look. Is this good enough?”

Kevin squeezes his nose and takes a look at the lobsters and points at two of them, “These two. Can you handle them for me?”

The youngster nods, “But you gotta to pay extra for that.”

Kevin takes out several red bills from the pocket, “Hurry up.”
