A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 172

The person waves at a woman with the same dress who stands beside, telling her to take the money. Then he goes back to that small house to deal with the lobsters.

“Hi, this is the change.”

As the woman speaks, she raises her head to glance at Kevin, but soon she is attracted by the appearance of this person.

She has been working in the supermarket for a long time, and she has never seen anyone that looks so distinguished come to buy stuffs. She is stunned.

It’s not the first or second time that Kevin is stared at by someone like this, but this lady’s gaze is so burning that he feels very uncomfortable. He can only choose to call Sunny.

“What are you doing?”

Sunny answers the phone quickly. She is surprised that Kevin will call her when he is purchasing stuffs, “You can’t find the place?”

…

While Kevin is talking to Sunny, he raises his head and glances at that woman. Damn, she’s still looking at him.

“Dear, someone is attracted by your husband.”

…

After Sunny hears Kevin’s coquettish voice, it suddenly gives her hand goose bumps, “Dear, can you talk to me like a normal person?”

Because of Kevin’s influence, Sunny also says the word “dear” naturally. Kevin’s side of the phone suddenly goes silent.

“Kevin?”

It’s hard for Kevin to hear Sunny call him “dear”, occasionally she will call him this way thoughtlessly. Therefore, Kevin cannot tell what his feeling is like when he hears it at this moment. Anyway, it’s pretty enjoyable.

He takes over the lobsters from the young man, “What?”

As he answers Sunny, the sun sprinkles inside, Kevin thinks living a life like this is really good.

“Wait for me. I am coming back.”

While Sunny is counting her fingers boringly, Kevin finally comes back with the lobsters, “How do you wanna eat the lobsters?”

Sunny frowns and asks, “Someone is attracted by you?”

Kevin originally wants to fawn. When he hears Sunny asks like this, he feeling wronged, “I am too handsome, so that person just keep staring at me.”

Sunny looks quite interested in the gossip, “How did she stare at you?”

…

When they arrive home, Kevin first holds Sunny to sit on the sofa and picks the TV channel for her. Next, he prepares some fruits for her. After everything is ready, he walks to the kitchen.

For no reason, Sunny always feels worried when she stares at the kitchen.

Hence, she fills her stomach with some food secretly when Kevin is not paying attention to her.

What’s showing in the TV is very boring. After switching the channels several times, Sunny notices that watching TV is not as interesting as playing the phone.

It’s just that her phone is already taken away by Kevin under the name of radiation from the phone.

What should she do…

Sunny looks around and finds that the most interesting to do might be to find some readable books from Kevin’s study room.

“I will just find several books. I won’t mess around.” She arches her back and tiptoes over to the study room. She mumbles to herself on her way as if she’s trying to comfort herself in her heart.

When she pushes the door and goes in, a smell of staleness rushes to her nose. Sunny frowns uncomfortably.

“Didn’t he say there has been housekeep who tidies…”

She walks around the bookshelf and suddenly spots a very interesting book “To My Beloved You”.

“Is this a romantic book?” As Sunny speaks, she takes that book down naturally. Unexpectedly, when she takes the book down, a paper falls down from the book, “I will just look around.”

While Sunny talks to herself, she peeks outside the study room carefully. She hears the noise and knows that Kevin is supposed to be in the kitchen.

So she slowly unrolls the well-preserved paper. For no reason, this is like the first time that she goes into Kevin’s study room when she finds out Bella’s portrayal.

Sunny’s heart shrinks, ‘wouldn’t it be…’

When she opens it, she is shocked. The content of this well-preserved paper is the agreement that they signed before.

Sunny sees that Kevin folds it very carefully and there are a few powerful words written on it: “My wife Sunny”.

It’s hard to say what Sunny feels when she sees those words.

The only feeling is the ups and downs in her heart as though a floating wood on the ocean finally finds a place to land.

And the landing site is Kevin. He gives her a warm hug and a warm family.

Sometimes Sunny is thinking, or when her mother passes away and Lora was married into the family. The sufferings that she has went through when she grows up, she has been thinking about this question. Is the God sending others to torture her.

Why would she suffer much much more than others. After what Zola has done to her, the God doesn’t give her the punishment that she deserves. As for Sunny herself, she’s like a nun in the Notre Dame de Paris.

But after all these years, she has complained, hated and thought about what to do till she bumps into Kevin.

He’s like the sunshine that sprinkles into her heart unexpectedly, leaving the unique mark that only belongs to his memory.

While she’s in her random thoughts, the sunshine pushes open his study room and sees the thing held in Sunny’s hand. His expression changes and he pretends to cough, “What are you doing?”

It isn’t until now that Sunny realizes that Kevin comes in and has been staring at the thing in her hand.

She smiles, “I am peeking someone’s mind.”

Kevin leans on one side of the bookshelf and remains silent. He just looks at Sunny’s side face like quietly, “Dear, you look beautiful.”

He says sincerely.

Sunny doesn’t say a word and is planning to return the book to Kevin, but something in between falls out— It’s a photo.

When Kevin sees the photo, his expression changes again and is about to pick it up, but Sunny is faster, “When did we…”

She is going to ask when they take the photo, but she finds out the person in the photo is not her.

It’s Kevin and another woman, and this woman…

“Kevin, is it my mother?”

Seeing that she finds out, Kevin admits, “It’s when I was very young. Coincidentally, I ran into your mother. At that time…”

When speaking of the things that happened long ago, Kevin’s emotion also fluctuates.

“At that time, me and my elder brother were already surviving ourselves out there. One day in a restaurant, I was so hungry that I really couldn’t stand it, so I sneaked to someone else’s table and tried to get some leftovers, then…”

Kevin’s voice is trembling, so is his hands. Seeing this, Sunny walks forward and grabs his hands.

“Then I was caught. The owner of the restaurant kicked me out and even stamped on me.”

Kevin took a deep breath, “When I thought I was going to be beaten to death, your mother and your father came out of this restaurant. When they found out I was being beaten, they soon stopped them.”

Sunny felt heart-wrenching even when she’s listening to his childhood experience, no mention Kevin who has experienced all that himself. After every a few sentences, he needs to take a deep breath. Apparently, that memory hurts him too deeply.

“They saved me and gave me food. They brought me to their hotel to take a shower. I asked them why they weren’t worried that I was a lier.”

Kevin pauses when he speaks of this, then he takes a look at Sunny, “Guess what they said?”

Sunny looks at Kevin and doesn’t say a word.

“They said, they had a child of the same age as me, so they would think of that child when they saw me. This was why they saved me subconsciously.”

When Kevin spoke of this, he stretched out his arms to hold Sunny, “So I have this photo. So it’s actually you who saved my life.”

Sunny couldn’t help laughing when she hears this, “How would it be me? It’s obvious…”

Unexpectedly, Kevin interrupts her overbearingly, “I said so. You are my savior.”

Sunny lies in his arms and suddenly comes up with a question when she hears all these, “Then when did you recognize me?”

Kevin recalls, “I guess not long after I saw you. You look really like your mother when she’s young. I was thinking at that time that what kind of asshole I am to have my savior to do such thing.”

Sunny recalled the scene when they first knew each other and couldn’t help laughing.

“Ha, it’s lucky that we…”

It’s lucky that we can still hug each other after all we have been through.

Kevin leaves a kiss on Sunny’s hair spiral and suddenly hears her talking, “Do you smell anything?”

…

“My roasted pigeon…”

Kevin hurriedly lets go of Sunny and rushes to the Kitchen. He’s about to save the roasted pigeon on his own, but he doesn’t expect the pigeon has been determined to leave, biding farewell to Kevin in a black-paste style.

…

So when Sunny comes out after clearing up the book, she sees Kevin look frustrated, “What? Can’t save the pigeon?”

Kevin nods sadly, “Blame my indulgence in woman, forgetting about the pigeon that has been waiting for me.”

He’s being too humorous that Sunny can’t help laughing out loud, “It’s okay. I don’t want to eat roasted pigeon. It doesn’t matter.”

With that, she massages Kevin’s head, “You need to practice your skills more in the kitchen. I, as your master, have figured it out that you gotta train for another ten years long.”

Kevin also laughs out loud. He finally looks happier under Sunny’s comfort.

“Why don’t you make the other dishes. I am getting hungry. I need something in my stomach.”
